Reviews of Quotient
This is a great piece of software
Comments: Positive to say the least. It has helped me grow my business from basic design to full branding projects of five figures.
Pros:
An integral piece of software in my tech stack for job management. Quotient feeds seamlessly into Xero matching quote numbers, job numbers and invoice numbers and making client management (at least in this area!) completely painless. Without a doubt one of the best investments I have made in my business.
Cons:
Not too many - the team is very responsive to issues and feedback. There may be some more integrations that could be done but honestly it's not a bad thing to keep quoting separate. In my experience it's better to have 4 pieces of software that are really, really good at what they do rather than have 1 piece that is really ordinary at 4 things. Quotient is really, really, really good.
Alternatives Considered: ePRO Print MIS and Streamline
Reasons for Switching to Quotient: As I said above it suited my needs and focussed on being really, really good at one thing - quoting quickly and efficiently.
Exactly the simple, professional online quote system we needed
Comments: I have told many people that quotient is one of the best business software products we use and I stand by that. It is exactly the tool we needed to solve our cost to quote problem which was limiting our business growth. Our time to generate a quote went from 4-6 person hours to a matter of minutes, and our number of quotes generated and contracts signed has increased dramatically. We did not need a complicated system, we just needed an easy to use way to make consistent quotes without a ton of effort, and Quotient fills that need for us perfectly.
Pros:
The interface is brilliantly designed to be simple and easy to use while offering options for customization in an insightful way. FOr our company, it has saved hundreds of hours of staff time that used to be spent generating quotes manually by automating repeated quotes with templates and offering a great interface for customizing quote content in a consistent and professional format.
Cons:
That I didn't have it years ago. While we have used it for a year and a half, the time it took to generate a quote before then still haunts me. There are some custome features we would like, but the product grows to add things at a measured pace to keep it simple.
Alternatives Considered: SAP Crystal Reports, QuoteWerks, QuickBooks Online and Microsoft Excel
Reasons for Switching to Quotient: It offered a simple way for multiple users to quickly create quotes that look professional and don't require nearly the effort we used to have to put into each quote.
Making my job Quotient easy
Comments: I really love it, it is a very very professional product.
Pros:
Creating a quote with many options is very easy
Cons:
I wish I could show a picture like a logo outside of the modules
Alternatives Considered: Compulife Quote Software
Reasons for Choosing Quotient: Much easier and user friendly product. The ability to send and receive notifications about the customer opening and executing the quote is priceless
Switched From: Microsoft Excel
Reasons for Switching to Quotient: Quotient was a much easier products to implement and use, and with all the integrations I needed.
Very limited, extremely basic quoting program without many features others have had for 15 years
Comments: Service people are nice and responsive. But this product should not be a released product for reason cited above. They say they will put the product improvement idea "read a last name merge field"???? in as a suggested feature for some future release, but if they have made any improvements to their product over the last 2 years I have not seen it. I am currently looking for a new program. Don't spend your time or money until they
Pros:
the customer support responds quickly, but often with the answer, we can't do that.
Cons:
It does not have many of the most basic features: Like a last name merge field. REALLY????? Very limited on how you can format your quotes, fonts, and color of everything. Putting in hyperlinking is limited and many of the things you can do, you have to do with code. Again really??? You have to enter code to change the color of a font? What is this the early 80s?
Quotient creates a great presentation
Comments: Quotient has really improved our presentation to potential clients. It puts them in control of their budget and what they intend to spend, and also explains in detail and pictures what our services/products are. I’ve received a lot of feedback and we’ve experienced more closings of jobs.
Pros:
The simplicity and the ease of use. It’s not overly complicated and makes it easy to build out a quote of varying degrees.
Cons:
I don’t like that quotient doesn’t have features for converting the quotes to invoices, and receiving payments. You can integrate with QuickBooks, but our business would be able to eliminate QuickBooks if we were able to handle estimates, invoices and payments thru Quotient. I would also like to see a more complex scenarios for either or options, because some choices in products necessitate additional optional services that go with it.
