## Reviews

### "Pros and cons of RFPIO" — 3.0/5

> **Aman Preet** | *20 December 2022* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: RFPIO is the amazing tool for task management as well as for workflow management as we in our team has multiple tasks that are assigned independently to other resources and these tasks can be automatically monitored by team lead.Similarly workflow management helped us to follow the pipeline that we built for each iteration of task.
> 
> **Cons**: E-signature feature of this tool is not upto the mark also it don't provide more varieties of docs in customised documents section but we can create different instances of the same using valid methods.
> 
> Overall experience with RFPIO have been quite well as it has fulfilled our current requirements of task management and workflow management.

### "RFP Writer" — 4.0/5

> **Christopher** | *17 December 2024* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Mainly the project management capabilities of the product. The first step of vetting an RFP always takes time, but with Responsive your hard work is rewarded with automation after you get the ball rolling.
> 
> **Cons**: Building the database wasn't as intuitive as I would have liked, though the custom fields being able to be facets alongside tags is a great feature for those who are used to a traditional folder structure.
> 
> While my current employer is still rolling it out, I have used Responsive before, and I am excited for the increased capacity it will allow us to have given our lean-team approach.

### "RFPIO New to our Organizaion" — 2.0/5

> **Rodney** | *4 April 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1. the ability of AI to find response recommendations from previously answered questions&#10;2. the ability to tag or invite someone to assist with a1. particular question&#10;3. the notification email that there are still outstanding questions&#10;4. the team collaboration and what their duties are
> 
> **Cons**: 1. Limited view of RFP or the difficulty to reviewing the document&#10;2. Garbage in is garbage out and if there isn't enough responses for a particular question then no data&#10;3. Difficulty of editing, undoing to adding special type functionality&#10;4. Requires automatic save as the solution seemed to consistently delete material and very difficult or impossible to retrieve it.  &#10;5. Difficult inserting pictures or cutting and pasting information from other sources.
> 
> Overall I didn't mind using RFPIO, but did feel it had several issues.  The last RFP I had I ended up manually saving after every line as I didn't trust that the information would still be there the next time I looked and sure enough, I required my bid leader to find all the information that I typed as it all disappeared.  Thankfully I saved all the time so didn't lose much.  The AI was getting better as we were increasing the RFP Data base.   I am sorry to say though where there are several things I liked about RFPIO,, at this time I would not recommend it as I want more control over the document.

### "Responsive is pretty good" — 4.0/5

> **Brittany** | *12 December 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how seamless most things are, I like the review workflow, I like that many things are customizable for the organization
> 
> **Cons**: While most things are seamless, there are still some issues with linking the modules. We often try to find projects in the Recommended search that should be in our archive but these two entities are separate. Also there are spacing issues and formatting issues upon export. Merge tags also seem to add random spaces or make adding text around the merge tag difficult and time consuming. I've tried to float some of these issues to responsive but often they have just let me know that that is a known function of the software.
> 
> Generally, I've been very impressed with the customer service and training we've received from responsive. Overall they seem to be responsive to our needs and willing to dig into bugs thoroughly

### "RFPIO review" — 5.0/5

> **Ankit** | *5 February 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Responsive is one of the best RFP tool I have worked on. Any functionality from RFPIO is top notch be it a UI, export functionality, AI response. I will say RFPIO is the best tool for RFP responses.
> 
> **Cons**: Some time import of Ariba file doesnt work as it fail to take drop done. Also word template for response also some time create issues.
> 
> It was the best experience for me. I will say it is the best tool I have worked in. Its simplicity is the best thing.
