Setup, Setup, Setup!!
Date: Jan 08 2025SummaryI am an independent CW PSA/CPQ consultant. I have used, integrated and seen many quoting tools, and there's many out there that are great that integrate with CW PSA. But CPQ by far does have the smoothest integration and if setup right, it's a great tool!
PositiveJust like PSA, CPQ is a large program with a lot of settings and features. But if you get it setup correctly, it's great.
NegativeLike PSA, CPQ does have a steep learning curve, but once you learn it, you will see just how many cool features it does have.

Quotes easier than ever before.
Updated: Mar 07 2022SummaryAll in all, the Sell platform has been an amazing tool for the company. Something I really use is the order porter templates to send out a quote, that's basically a PDF that is generated for an end-user after they look at the detail on the quote inside of order porter.
PositiveConnectWise Sell helps us to create and handle quotes online. You can set up how people can reach you, what they see on your quotes. The system gives you the ability to upload a signature and helps you look more professional.

Complex Quoting Tool
Date: Jan 07 2022SummaryOverall, it's the best quoting solution if you use the ConnectWise stack. If you are not, look elsewhere as there is better quoting solutions.
PositiveIt works well with ConnectWise Manage. It also connects to the popular distributors to get real time stock.
NegativeThere is no in-between with SELL, you either have very basic looking quotes or quotes that take a lot of work to generate due to the complexity of the system. Templates for quotes are hard to design and often require professional services.

Great Quoting tool for any company
Updated: Sep 13 2021SummaryIt ties together each department and gives everyone visibility and information at their fingertips. The reports come in handy as well. I use the procurement report almost daily. The service boards and tickets also help to keep everything organized and allow for communication on a particular project all in one place.
PositiveThe ability to create custom templates for different types of quotes/projects to quickly create quotes for clients.
The ability to get all the updated pricing from all our vendors without having to search the vendors websiteNegativeThe ability to change the order porter template should be easier.

Best cross selling platform for B2B sales teams
Date: Jul 04 2021SummaryThe cloud based access is wonderful. Access from wherever is a breeze. The electronic underwriting process has condensed our business cycle by weeks. One can make constant explanations and have a good sentiment of continuous stock. When one made our designs, the are so normal to use. This makes dependable refering to basic and clear. In end the compromise with ConnectWise Manage is essential for smooth and straightforward hand-offs to procurement and organization movement.
PositiveIt is the best all-in-one, cloud based quoting software for IT Solution Providers and Resellers that creates quotes and proposals anywhere, anytime. It integrates really well with Connectwise which makes product conversions that much easier. The alert system that emails me when a quote is opened and approved is really nice for me since one is often not in the office.
NegativeThe software does not show one when you sent the quote to the intended client. Also, Dell import is often messed up which creates a manual entry process that isn't intuitive. This software also never seems to integrate with ConnectWise in terms of updating opportunities. One has also experience some issues with quotes going to historical versions and one can never seem to get it out of that category.

Not great, but it gets us by
Date: Feb 26 2021SummaryAs I said in the list of cons, there's just too many negative things about this system for me to recommend it to anyone... we're sort of stuck using it since we use CW products.
PositiveWe can get stuff quoted to users, it can track if they view the quote, and not much more than that unfortunately.
NegativeIt's not really that good. Super slow site, strange bugs, poor integrations, annoying overall.

Date: Oct 23 2020SummaryOverall we are quite happy with it although there are things that they could improve on in order for the user experience to be more friendly.
PositiveAs it's a web-based platform, it gives the option for use 'on the go'. One of the plus points is that customers can sign in and use the payment function online.
NegativeThere needs to be more clarity with regards to customers paying online as it can be a bit confusing for them. It could be simplified.
