I am using the system for a long time.this is helping to backup my data and I can open anywhere. it can be employed to help sales teams, channel partners and customers quickly, easily and accurately price interdependent Products and Services - any time, any place any device. We can communicate with each other very easily. we can share all information just one click. it can be employed to help sales teams, channel partners and customers quickly, easily and accurately price interdependent Products and Services - any time, any place any device. We use it as a product configurator, with the output being a quote we present to our customers. Great functionality, self-generation of part numbers eliminated errors from our quoting process, Support was quick and extremely helpful. Guides through how to produce a quote. The pricing summary is quick and efficient. Tools tips can be added which makes the process easier. Customization abilities. This software is easier to use for admins and for the end-users to create quotes. We are currently changing over from BluePrintCRM to BluePrintCPQ and will be using it on our websites to configure products using changing images. We have found in the past that getting a good product configurator that would change the images for complex products with lots of variations, get an accurate price online and deal with taking deposits online was impossible. With BluePrintCPQ this is now possible and with the help of the customer representative and the support team, we will be changing all our websites to use the software. So far nothing really comes to mind as a negative for this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am a little bit issue with the price of per user but otherwise, I had no issue about using the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BlueprintCPQ is easy to use, yet it can handle the complexities of our products and offerings.

Members of the organisation are knowledgeable about our company and have an understand of our needs. They are always looking to improve the system and make enhancements that will assist us but also their wider audience.

Nothing comes to mind, have always had confidence in using the tool which is enhanced by the great support that sits behind it and the approachable team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
configuration capability is very flexible, standard cloud solution much better than original off line version. When the right people are solving the issues then support is good. Does what is says - configures, prices and quotes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Understanding the business problem we were facing took time to develop. Support is not always quick enough, correct or tested. Quote configuration is complex for our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great people to work with. They go out of their way to understand the problem that brought you to BlueprintCPQ in the first place. The solution is flexible and adaptable to our longer term strategy goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Have not found that yet, possible we never will. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need a lot of support to integrate BluePrintCPQ into other solutions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The BlueprintCPQ team is outstanding! They're very helpful, supportive and it's always a pleasure to work with them. The system provides a lot of flexibility and takes away the complexity out of ERP systems, which then enables faster implementation times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The existing documentation could have more code samples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much, it meets our needs and the support is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The easy configurator selections ensure that our sales team can only produce quotations that are viable to sell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The presentation is not attractive and the templates have needed a lot of work to make them look professional Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The personal touch and knowing who everyone is on the team . Extreme help in getting me to understand the back system and get templates in working order Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes response time is slow. Would be beneficial to have monthly/quarterly review on progress with all stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to locate and create patient profiles.

It's set up for our business and has great flexibility. We have control of the day to day functions of the software which means we can tweak and add easily. It make producing detailed quotes easy and quick. That is important in our business where we are often working to very tight deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not integrated with our other systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease with which I can create a new set of questions for a particular service and then access them to capture the required information from any location . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing to dislike really. Although at a push I might want my mobile phone screen to be a bit bigger so its easier to use the software on my phone but that is not the software's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to configure hardware, services and services on the same screen and apply rules that affect each other. And prevent errors appearing on the quotes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nope, nothing that springs to mind. It does all that I need it to. There is also additional stuff that I do not currently use so plenty of scope for me to do more should I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was a challenge to find a CPQ that we felt really met our custom manufacturing needs and understood our business. Many CPQ's seem to be focused on bundling existing stock products. BluePrint has the ability to handle BOM parts with as many dependencies as we need. In fact, it has more capabilities than we use.
BluePrint scripting allows us to add any business logic needed. This makes it extremely flexible. If you can't make it work with scripting, BlueZebra is able to create custom functions to meet your needs. They have a script generator for less technical administrators. End-product configurations and scripts both can be split out and combined to reduce duplication, making it easier to maintain.
BlueZebra customer support, developers and director are all wonderful to work with. The company is very agile, so can quickly create a solution to meet your needs. Support tickets are answered promptly. We had an issue on a holiday last year and a developer stayed and worked with us until the problem was solved.
Our sales executives and end-users like the simple and clean quoting interface, help windows and the ability to select options in any order rather than being forced into a specific question sequence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With more flexibility comes more complexity. It's a trade-off. Our non-technical admins found the configuration setup side a little confusing at first. The script generator requires someone who understands if-then-else logic and logical "and/or".

The software is very versatile and seems to be able to be adapted to anything we want it to do, whether that be quoting very complicated structures or intergrating with other software. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and they have added a lot of new functionality to the program when we have requested it and it is possible to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not sure I dislike anything. There are other things I wish it did, especially on the drawing package side, but this is not what its core function is. Anyway we have gotten around this by getting the program to export a csv file that we can import into AutoCAD to do a drawing which gives us much more flexibility.

The configuration engine is extremely configurable and powerful allowing you to build any kind of product with it. We have an extremely complex configured product with a lot of different options and rules. BluePrint allows us to do everything we need to do.
The Blue Zebra team are helpful and knowledgeable. Many other companies we spoke to didn't really understand Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pascal is used as the scripting language to create the "rules" for the product configurator on a per product basis. This isn't a huge problem but the system could benefit from a more modern language like JavaScript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BlueprintCPQ is a very powerful product and can cope with almost any scenario and product due to the flexibility.
This is especially true due to the ability to script product rules and pricing.
For simple products with few rules a simple configuration can be achieved without the complexity of advanced scripting.

The administration interface could be improved and modernised and there is a reasonably steep learning curve for setting up complex products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The automation of previously very laborious work (calculations and products to load) that was prone to error is now automated. A record is created automatically of the calculation workings so a separate record(s) doesn't have to be attached. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is an added level of structural complexity to the SF "opportunity" and "quote." The configurator times out when multi-tasking and does not auto-save. This is inconvenient for those that HAVE to multitask due to customer service needs. Navigation is not clear - minimal indication on Configurator of where the user is (under which Opportunity/Quote/Client). The page is wider than laptop screen and font size is small. Screen width issue is same as that for Salesforce so not sure whether this is within Blueprint control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The BluePrint Configurator is feature rich and invaluable to support the selling and quoting of complex configured products. It supports both technical validity and invalidity rulesets, plus both simple and complex (scripted) pricing models. There is still functionality available that the business has not yet explored (for example graphical configuration). A very flexible team to work with, with an ability to interpret and enhance project scope documents, and contribute to efficient project execution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing really to dislike about the product or the team delivering. I could say the company is small, hence there is not a large support team, but that does mean they can be agile, and your contact is always aware of the implementation details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When looking for a CPQ solution for a global management systems business I found that all the solutions I looked at could do guided selling, helping the user make dependent selections. Blueprint was the only solution that could go beyond that to draw together the selections, apply calculations and validations to them and output appropriate product lines. It was head and shoulders above all the other solutions I considered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The look and feel of the product can be a bit clunky and old fashioned at times which is a shame given the level of sophistication of what's under the hood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Logical layout that guides users through in a structured format.
Safegaurds and warnings to make sure users cannot progress quotes that either have insufficient information to price accurately or ones that we would be able to fulfill for business reasons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing specific encountered a this stage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
