Easy to use, very convenient to get stakeholder and supplier buy-in for maximum participation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are always opportunities for improvement and ScoutRFP is making great strides in enhancing their product portfolio Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use is a big reason we love Scout so much. It makes my team's lives so much easier and the customization is huge. Another big perk is the customer service on the back end. If I ever have a question, they're super responsive and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some trivial things like email notification customization, files automatically download when you want to view them and having to search for an agreement via the supplier page vs just typing it into the contract search bar. Over all these are just small things I would love to see changed and luckily the Scout team is innovating every day to help user functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pipeline planning functionality is amazing. This provides you with dashboard capability to manage, and forecast sourcing projects effectively. Additionally, I the RFP tool is very easy to use and our team has established standard RFP templates by RFx type. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Need more built-in graphical and "drillable' graphical dashboards. This would support our users ability to not leave Scout for other reporting. Would like to see additional auction capabilities - i.e., Dutch, Japanese, forward, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The side by side comparison it makes viewing multiple vendors easy! Seeing your pipeline right when you log on. The organizations of questions and answers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would be nice to have templates shared between companies! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use for Category Managers. Easy to use for stakeholders. Easy to use for suppliers. Simple User Interface that maintains 95% of what you need from any e-sourcing tool. ScoutRFP also makes meaningful updates on a regular basis. Most other providers use updates to just patch broken code, where ScoutRFP actually makes improvements and adds functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some minor wishlist items are: Expressive Bidding/ Expressive Feedback where we can let the supplier know that they aren't bidding competitively before the completion of an event through an automated color coding paradigm. Without using an auction. But generally very few tools offer this capability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-The customer service and ease of use.

- There isn't a huge learning curve to the product, and if you have questions the team is always available for assistance.

-Scout listens to their customers, and actually put the feedback of the customers into the tool.

- We had a Sourcing Manager leave our company abruptly, and because everything is in Scout there was a clear trail of their work. It allowed the transfer of work to happen seamlessly and with little interruption to the internal clients and suppliers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

-The PDF view was taken away for the RFP, and the excel view does not allow for all of the information to be seen in a very easy format. The PDF view was much better for an audit trail too when if you need to store documentation.

-Less prescriptive RFP's (when you are asking for a high level services proposal, and don't have a clear list of questions because you are seeking information from the supplier) can be a challenge to enter at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to use and customized to what we are trying to test for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the formatting could be mark ups and show how we want it to show once submitted Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use! Users, suppliers, sourcing team members have all been able to quickly and easily use the tool which has increased sourcing opportunities with business owners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the autoscoring feature best for the multiple choice questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Inability to create weighted scoring for the free-form responses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clean, light weight, intuitive design that delivers an excellent user experience. Unlike many legacy sourcing solutions, Scout delivers the benefits of e-sourcing without feeling like a burden for procurement professionals to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Breadth of functionality is more limited then some of the larger integrated solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to import standardized templates and then tailor to each bid. Stakeholders can submit their requests direct to the Sourcing team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Administration of the assignment of new projects to our Category Managers is a little challenging. Reporting dashboards for Category Leads to more easily manage their teams' workloads would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best customer support. EVER. When I reach out with an issue, they respond immediately. And are SO HELPFUL! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I get push back from suppliers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nada, nothing, zero. ScoutRFP exceeds our needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user-interface and ease of use is what differentiates Scout from their peer competitors. Legacy offerings do the trick, but are overly complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see an expanded capability around reverse auctions and the interface offered in more languages for global RFPs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use for Sourcing professionals, stakeholders and suppliers alike. Also, ability to be "up and running" in a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing i find cumbersome is building the pricing sheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
