Tacton Reviews & Product Details

Tacton provide a customized solution, user can customized there solution as well as integration is also good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Little issue with performance, sometime it takes a little more time to do a task, this may be issue with hosted cloud environment, but not sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have managed to cover a lot of our specific business needs. Good team of consultants willing to find solutions for their customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have encountered issues such as system failures and inhability to use Tacton during periods of time until the problem is identified and fixed, this has happened wheneverTacton does a product release, I would definetely recommend to improve their release process and inform the users what has changed and what is the impact.

The CPQ still has a lot of functionalities that need improvement or that are very limited Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The time-saving features of Tacton are key. Technicians can provide the database with technical information about configurations and relationships between a diverse pallet of products, which is then instantly available for sales personnel when they create offers and BOMs. This saves time on both sides, and improves reliability by taking a good deal of human error out of the equation. Especially on the sales side, my company has seen such efficiency improvements since using Tacton, that working without it would no longer be acceptable. The time required for a sale representative to create a complicated technical offer has been reduced from days to minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only criticism i can think of has to do with the non-configurable products. We still use TC-Site, and we have many different sales-groups. Each sales group has price lists, templates, products, etc. that are assigned to them. The only aspect of TC-Site that cannot be assigned to these sales groups is the non-configurable list. This has led to the creation of several sites for different sales groups, which means much more overhead to do updates.

This is solved with CPQ i believe, which we are not yet using. Really this is the only issue I can think of, everything else that we have had problems with has been solved by the quite competent support team at Tacton. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This configurator is a very user friendly configurator. We need not to learn any special coding/language to write the programs in Tacton. It is very helpful for solving the rule based problems very quickly.

It is also very easy to integrate with external calculation programs like MathCAD, STAAD, Fortran, etc, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The configurator can be improved in iterative calculations like goal seek function and loop calculations.

Even though we can do this in the current version using JavaScript, it would be nice to have this feature in Tacton function itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Guided selling, Visualization and Pricing Engine is so powerful in Tacton CPQ. Their Ticket based Administration tool minimizes the conflicts during the release process. Workflows are easily configurable and Admin tool is very simple and easy to customize. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though with the Tacton DOCGEN, the proposal can be customized as you like, its very complex to understand the huge list of Tags provided. There should be an easy way to customize the Document templates than using the Tags. Also, Migration from older system to Tacton CPQ doesn't have best practice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It create multiple combination from the master model and also to possible 2D Deawing, Sales related documents,etc....and I was suprissed it replaced weldment profile also. i'm happy with tacton. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have one year experiance in tacton lot of options are here, but I noticed there is no tools for "for loop". wright now I have used via small Java script on include opions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Configuration engine which can handle any complex configuration

2. Pricing engine with live BOM

3. Visualization Capabilities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Options for BOM editor are less

2. Product Modeling inside latest TACTOn CPQ is far less compared to TACTON studio for modelling Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like that you can achieve the same results in several different ways. Just depends on your style of modelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a highly customized version of TCsite and are looking to switch to CPQ but we were told there will not be any customization available with this product. I really hope that CPQ will be able to do what we need it to do. It used to be if we needed something changed we could get it changed, now it is a suggestion that goes into a queue for consideration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite definitely is the UI. Very easy to adopt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not sure if what I dislike is "Tacton´s fault". Maybe it´s our low level of IT capabilities ?!

I do dislike the lack of integration into our SAP C4C. Stand-alone is okay, real integration is preferable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Admin Ticketing system, importing tickets from other and patching

The system is very flexible and can add documents and change attributes that need to be linked and important to the business and other system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When tickets are open, they essentially are not "checked out" so that 2 people may end up working on the same model or same document, but there could be a crossover between the 2.

There is no prevention stopping you from doing this, someone always has to keep an eye and manage the system releases

Data to pull out of the system with Standard API's are not always available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have the knowlage of the total flow. From configorator, design automation to a proposal to the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They want to leave the project phase to fast Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allowing user to add macro files & java script files.

Easy way to export .xml files.

Very simple logical key words to write constrains.

On of the best tool to automate your product.

Unlike other software it wont crash ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User interface should be made much better.

If it shows time and date for the parts, attributes, classes, constrains etc., when we select, it will very useful for easy tracing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ticket environment is fantastic. I like how easy it is to deploy changes and work in a multi developer environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Modelers working with multiple branches of the master can be a bit tricky when merging. There's no simple/automated process to do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User friendly to configure the model and It's easy to access with user interference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

During the configurator version update, Some of functions are affects comparing with previous version.

The best thing about Tacton CPQ is fact, that we can improve company sales engineering process. We can eliminate order errors and improve connection between sales and manufacturing. Selling buses is challenging process, beacuse of complexity of our product. This software is making this process easier and faster. We also admire the fact, that quotation process is faster than ever before. Tacton CPQ is fully customizable software, that allows us to achieve our goals and meet business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

High-level entry for administration of the software (TCStudio, Administration Panel, Creating templates - Docgen). The documentation for the API and other technical aspects, should be more explained. Technical documentation of this software should be provided. What is more, after each release of Tacton, it would be added value to our programmers, that they will receive changelog of backend changes (added classes, methods, etc.). Tacton developers should also consider, to start making webinars, that teach end users, about basic operations, that are available in this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

configuration and controlling design at any time. most upside feedback is increase in productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

editing the content one by one. should edit the content mass level and should be easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy under standing. No need to know programing languages. simple tool which can support other application like stad, Mathcad solidworks etc.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are in to standardization of our products, and tacton makes best of possibilities to configure our products with great variants and options to choose the product requirement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

sometimes tacton gets stuck in update manager, Engineer debugger result view could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Tacton we used to do configuration with Solidworks Configuration, Its simple and major drawback is it has limitations. After in to Rules based configuration tool like Tacton now we have been saving lot of time and just increased the productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tracking of error should be made much better & very congested user window.

It should have auto-save option timely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple rules based user friendly software. No Rigorous training required. No Highly skilled programmers required.Very light No heavy machines required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No search and replace options available to edit Constraints. difficult find out the error where it is exactly occurred. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The way to specify configuration models is very elegant and powerful in the sense that simple models can control very complex configurations. Although constraint rules is a significant part of it, it is more than that. It is the entire concept of how to build products through the model. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When used through Tacton CPQ, there are significant user interface and reporting limitations. Also, more than an actual dislike, is the fact that it is not trivial to understand the way the software works. Its elegance resides in the the particular way it works, which I have found challenging for people to understand at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For 3D and 2D automation, table format is very much useful for minimize the time and constraints Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Error finding in constraint is difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were able to train 40 trend setters in our organization how to make their own minimum configurator. When the business understood a concept, it was already hot. Excel integration is good suite for business, new technology stack is perfect for IT. Good knowledge base make also the diference Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Currently CPQ is intended more for CTO companies. There is tremendous need on market for customisation and ETO processes. ETO does not alway mean a change, sometimes customer and sales people need to provide additional information to the company. Very proffitable will be also change management according to CMII standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team we are working with currently is very qualified, we have been working with them for a while and they know our business needs and really try to fulfill all of our requirements. Even thouh the CPQ has a lot of limitations, out Tacton team always tries to find a workaround. We also have a very good working environment. We hope we can keep it as we had difficulties in the past trying to adjust, either to the PM or to the consultants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was expecting a lot more from the tool. I think in the begining Tacton offered us a lot more than the tool can actually do and it's very frustrating. Some functionalities that we thought were existing in the CPQ are not there and are not even being considered in the roadmap, so constantly we need to spend a lot of money trying to fnd workarounds for functionalities that for our company were a MUST from the beginning.

We have also experienced some dificulties with some of the consultants as they don't really know how the CPQ works so we have noticed this is very inefficient. I also believe this is being solved as we advance in the project and as the consultants acquire more exprience. Also if Tacton tries to keep the more experienced consultants (we lost the 2 best consultants we had because they left to other companies).

Keeping the future business needs, the Tacton CPQ and related products are being enhanced consistently.

Also to easy of maintenance and very agile approach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Many versions are affecting the existing product models to validate. Sometime gives strange results.

It is also very big efforts to migrate from old system to Tacton CPQ. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
