Oracle CPQ Cloud

BigMachines is very customizable and can be use for simple solutions as well as very advanced ones. You can also integrate BigMachines with several different CRM systems like Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and SAP. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to deploy from test enviroments to production. It is very flexible enough to meet customer requirements

Having experience from complex configurations I know that as time goes by it gets more and more difficult to maintain the system. There is a lot of code in library functions and actions making it a risk of missing out on things when implementing functionality. Furthermore, BigMachines executes rules by sequence meaning that the more rules you have the longer it takes to execute actions. I also find it hard to get a good overview without already knowing the system very well. The Document engine is NOT good. The idea is good but it's both slow and low functional. If you want to make changes you have to make it a routine to copy the design elements at first in order to be able to go back when it stops to work. You have to be very careful how you do changes as well. I would rather recommend using the old XSL-templates. I prefer 10000 rows of XSL code over the Document Engine. My experience is using BigMachines integrated with Salesforce. The systems integrate using web services.

Take your time to evaluate what you need and how this will be setup. Also make sure that you are involved in the implementation process to get documentation on place and well-documented code together with clear routines on how to work for all roles. If you have a need for a very complex CPQ, BigMachines might be what you really need or not - compare with other systems.
