Always carry a Compass

We've had a positive experience in the first year using Federal Compass. They are easy to work with and have built a compelling database that can be one of the top tools in any BD Executive or Market Researcher's toolbox. They're very concerned with customer feedback, and have demonstrated that through multiple engagements that offered us the opportunity to voice our opinions on their products. Federal Compass doesn't claim to be the only tool necessary to support a BD organization, and they offer attractive pricing packages that don't constrain our firm's budget or otherwise limit our ability to purchase additional tools.

PROS

Customization of the data to my company's addressable market. The ability to view data at a macro level, then drill down into specific sub-sets of the same data set to see program details, all without needing to run separate searches in different modules. Customer support is also top notch, our account rep is not only very responsive and easy to work with, they're also knowledgeable on the GovCon market.

CONS

While graphs/visuals are a positive, I often wish there were more options for different styles of graphs (ex. Bar vs. Pie) for some of the custom data pulls. Would love the ability to see program lineage (incumbent details, prior program structure, etc.)

Vendor Response

Hi Josh, thank you for the review. As you know, we love feedback! We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and will keep your feedback on graphs in mind for future updates!

Proud user of Federal Compass!

My experience with Federal Compass has been outstanding. Someone is always there to answer questions, take feedback, help with training, and help me with my account. I can pick up the phone and know that someone will help me right away, even if it's in setting up a report or query on the spot!

PROS

I have used several other paid federal databases, and this is my favorite. The user interface is intuitive and clean, it's super easy to set up reports and pipelines, and the training is top notch. I use this system as my main source of information when researching opportunities, competition, federal funding, potential teaming partners, and more. As a small business, I love that I have a CRM built into this system that allows me to track and follow opportunities. The Federal Compass team has thought of everything.

CONS

I would love to be able to export custom reports with a "notes" field.

Reason for choosing Federal Compass

Aside from Federal Compass being a superior product for the price, I really enjoy working with the team at Federal Compass. They are doing big things and bringing an incredible product to market that is affordable, robust, and intuitive.

Reasons for switching to Federal Compass

Pricing and usability.

Great overall customer experience, seeking improved user experience

Federal Compass has the best customer service. They are responsive to needs and reach out routinely for meetings with their client representatives. I enjoy the daily opportunity updates. They have provided me insight on opportunities that I was not tracking.

A Swiss Army Knife for federal contractors.

Upslope Advisors is a rapidly growing company, and we need a configurable, reliable, reasonably priced Business Development solution. Federal Compass is that solution for us.

PROS

Time saving Advanced search capabilities and lead lists also help us stay on top of trends and understand and break them down. Opportunities research

CONS

When we first started with Federal Compass, it was a bit overwhelming. There was a lot of information to internalize and it was a bit overwhelming.

Reasons for switching to Federal Compass

Everything that can be done within GovWin can be done inside of Federal Compass and comes at a fraction of the cost and with more robust analytics. Other systems do low-level business development and capture, but Federal Compass is really a Swiss Army Knife for federal contractors. Their solution has been eye-opening and critical to our team’s success since its implementation.

Thank you for the glowing review, Aaron!
