Vorteile

- Super easy to use

Nachteile

Vorteile

Qwilr breaks the mold with standard CPQ tools as you can tell that aesthetics was top of mind when creating this product.

Nachteile

At the time of use, one of the biggest challenges our team was facing was creating effective templates. Without the integration of a token feature, it often took time to sanitize documents in preparation for a new customer.

Vorteile

Fast, easy to use, good for cranking 'em out.

Nachteile

Buggy, some functions that would seem to be needed in every proposal don't really work, and lots of stuff feels like it's 'coming soon.'

Vorteile

The system is straightforward and simple, it can be taught fairly quickly and has a mostly intuitive interface. Even sales people can be trained to use it, despite being time crunched. This has made it a decent solution to create simple web-based proposal site to summarize and deliver sales proposals.

Nachteile

I often find myself wishing there was a bit more granularity in the controls, and sometimes the controls can be touchy. Also, wish there was an option for custom domains in the Business plan.

Vorteile

The major advantage of using Qwilr over the traditional method is that we can do all the other steps like presentation, review of proposal and signing it in automatic manner. No other action is required on this stage. Also we can maintain a strong relationship with the client using Qwilr. The best feature we have seen is the ease of adding the previous template to Qwilr and then working on it. It is very easy to add and update the proposals and it will get updated in real time on the client side.

Nachteile

The only issue we have seen is the lack of mobile app, please release the app asap.

Vorteile

Relatively easy to use once you get the hang of it
Beautiful docs with interactive functionality
Tracking opens and other recipient actions directly
Great customer support
Constant improvement of the platform
Very customizable

Nachteile

Somewhat steep learning curve
Needs more MS Word-like functions, tables need to be revised and upgraded
Occasionally prone to visual and logical glitches

Vorteile

I love how adaptable the blocks are for creating professional proposals. The interface is intuitive and when I wanted to do more than what I could easily find on my own, the customer support team was absolutely incredible! They were so quick to jump right in and help me accomplish what I set out to do. They asked questions about our business and workflow to help create proposals that really worked for us and our clients.

Nachteile

The integrations with HubSpot took some getting used to. They don't work in the way I would anticipate them to work, but the team helped me create some best practices and workflows that would ensure they worked every time.

Vorteile

Qwilr makes the proposal process much faster than our previous proposal process (i.e., Google Docs). The web-based proposal looks great on browsers and allows us the ability to quickly turnaround client proposals in hours rather than days. Additionally, the ability to clone frequently used sections allows us to maintain brand consistency and deliver the same level of service to all of our clients. Lastly, the ability to link with our QB accounts makes invoicing faster and easier. I'd recommend starting a free trial to see if it works with your organization's needs.

Nachteile

The versioning took some time to get used to but I understand the reasoning behind maintaining proper version control. I wish there was an easier way to revise the terms and conditions (e.g., replacing one client's name for another) by making a global change.

Vorteile

We started using Qwilr a year and a half ago when we wanted to step up our sales and proposals game. It DOUBLED our closing rate IMMEDIATELY. It makes our proposals stand out in the crowd drastically and we are extremely proud to send them out. The analytics on the backend of it is also incredible.

Nachteile

They occasionally make updates to improve the capabilities that end up changing proposals we have already designed.

Vorteile

Ease of sharing, looks and easy to update pages

Nachteile

I find a few difficulties with formatting when printing pages as PDF

Vorteile

IT looks fantastic! I am not any type of designer yet QWILR makes my proposals look brilliant.
Clients don't need to download software to use it.
It's Australian, just like us.

Nachteile

Can't be accessed via mobile - this was a big problem for me one day as I was on my way to the presentation and desperately needed to change something in the proposal. I understand that it may be easy to make unintended changes via mobile but Instapage has the same risk but I can amend that. I think it should be user choice.
It's just changed to a paid model and begins at a pretty expensive price point of $29 per month which is what we pay. I think they need to review the pricing structure as the minimum is too high and the next price point is too much of a difference.
I've just now seen that under the new pricing structure, I'm unable to time limit a proposal. I can have this feature only if I pay the next level, $89 USD per month. This is unfair as it's a huge jump from $29 to $89 per month and because I would have thought time limiting was a basic, not advanced option. This should change.
Proposals can't be archived or grouped so over time you end up with a really, really long list!

Vorteile

I'm glad to know that I'm putting Qwilr to good use in the business world; it has the potential to set a new standard for engaging business reporting, which makes me happy. Its flexibility and ease of use, its constant updates, and its excellent alignment with contractual objectives speak to its versatility and adaptability. It provides us with a variety of prefabricated formats from which we can generate unique proposals for our company and its offerings. To motivate a request, control is crucial.

Nachteile

Despite the fact that I am aware of the software's potential and value, I am dissatisfied with its astronomical price.

Vorteile

Ease of use
Flexibility
Time it takes to roll out is virtually zero

Nachteile

At the moment, taking people off and adding new people to the account can be a pain

Vorteile

Having an option to sign contracts online that is simple and easy to use and being able to create appealing presentations using images, videos and other features to make the presentation unique. The block library is very handy also.

Nachteile

In draft mode there is no option to track changes and leave comments if you got another team member to proof read your presentation. I also do not like that if you edit a template it changes the order which they are listed - I would prefer to be able to manually determine the order of our templates so they don't get jumbled.

Vorteile

Ease of use on day one. Plus the Qwilr team is constantly making enhancements to make it better. Cut down on time it takes to make a proposal.

Nachteile

Hard to read on the customers end. Too small and slightly difficult to read. Many customers ask for PDF so that they can read it easier.

Vorteile

Ease of use and great design.

Nachteile

Lack of flexibility in text and design editing. Saving issues too frequent.

Vorteile

Looks great, easy to use. It's easy to have other team members access it afterwards, it allows for easy integration to invoicing system.

Nachteile

Saving and collaboration. A few times, we've had issues with the pricing reverting back to an old version, or if we need more than one person working on a proposal at a given time.

Vorteile

Amazing professional platform that is quick and easy to set up and edit. One amazing factor with Qwilr's simple interface is the fact that you can still make changes even after sharing files. Our sales team is able to send out proposals and quotes effectively and efficiently to our prospects within reasonable time frames.

The customer service team is amazing . Always available and ready to assist.

Nachteile

I would like to see more layout options. Other than that , nothing I dislike

Vorteile

Creating proposals in Qwilr is very easy and the result always leaves a very good impression with the clients.

Because you are literally creating a website as a proposal for your client, it is guaranteed to set yourself apart from pretty much any other company - I can't tell you how many times people mentioned how impressed they were with our top-notch proposal quality (and how many projects we won because of that).

It's very easy to create proposals both from scratch, as well as to clone old ones and edit them.

Nachteile

While the templates look good and the colour and fonts can be customised, there are limitations in what you can do with Qwilr. They will be soon releasing a new editor that seems a lot more flexible than before.

Vorteile

I liked the ability to send/review live proposals online with clients - rather then sending them a PDF. During negotiations, we can make changes to the proposal and update them live. That way all parties have the latest version online - rather than resending and tracking iterations of static docs and versions.

Nachteile

I find it somewhat difficult to add new sections to templates. For example, if I am using one template but want to add a unique section that I saw from a different template, it takes me a while to recreate it from scratch. Would like the ability to cut/paste from different templates.

Vorteile

Really changes how we are portrayed as a solution provider. The image we portray is how we like to be viewed.

Nachteile

There are a few features that we would have liked to see and the QWILR team have taken them onboard.

Vorteile

I love how quickly and easily I can throw together a proposal. It used to take over an hour each time I'd put one together, now it only takes 20-30 minutes -- including bidding out costs. Huge time-saver and great presentation that most of our competition isn't doing. Definitely gives us an edge there as well.

Nachteile

I've had some issues with formatting text or photos to get them perfect. I'm kind of picky with design-related stuff, especially when we're trying to earn new business, so I want to make sure it's perfect. The custom CSS helps, but they're globally applied. Last time I tried, there wasn't a way to add a custom CSS class to a specific element.

Vorteile

My clients love the look and the convenience of having the proposal on there phone. We design websites and what a better way to showoff than with a great looking proposal.

Nachteile

Sometimes theres a glitch with the auto safe a you can loose some changes to your work but is not that common for it to happen.

Vorteile

Aesthetics - look of the presentation can be made very professional. Fairly straightforward to use. Staff very responsive on livechat and follow up on issues.

Nachteile

Integrations with hubspot and zapier have been difficult as the data pushed through is messy (in a nested array?) so heaps of steps needed in API/zapier to split out the data which has been very time consuming. Oh and limited to 20 Zapiers due to security which isnt great for us.

Vorteile

Its easy to use, looks amazing and very professional, plus there is no need to resend when a proposal is updated!

Nachteile

Nothing - its amazing! I have never used something like this before and can honestly hope I never have to go back to the old way of sending out proposals again!
