### "Onvia Project Center"

September 23, 2020

5.0

This is my project management tool of choice not only because how it supports operations but its analytics are always there and a added value to the set

Pros

I’ve been running projects for the last couple pf years supported by this tool and I have to say it is very easy and makes tasks and progress status available and transparent to the team.

Cons

There is nothing as it worked surprisingly well with multifunctional teams. Lets see what comes in mew releases

### "GovWin"

November 5, 2021

5.0

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] has been phenomenal - she responds quickly and tracks down answers. When she's out, someone monitors her email to respond to my requests. She is willing to help us in different ways for GovWin to be as useful to our company as possible.

Pros

All the data and the way it's analyzed in various ways. We love Flex Fields and Notes. Wish they displayed better in the results field. The analysts! People are always helping us get answers.

Cons

There are some bugs I'm experiencing with Query Builder which \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is working on. I'd like for the spreadsheets to do a bit of better formatting on their own - sorting, column width, etc. I have to spend a lot of time on editing reports.

### "Good product if you don't need to dig very deep"

October 29, 2019

3.0

The customer service was excellent. Our contact did everything possible to help us make the product work for us and was a great advocate. Ultimately, the product was expensive and extremely limited compared to other software that did the same thing.

Pros

Software presents new opportunities daily in a very convenient email. You can prioritize and categorize as needed. Easy to customize searches. Customer service was very good. Probably the best part about the service.

Cons

Much of the information you would use to look forward isn't very good. Found that most of the data was incomplete or not useful. We used this for state bidding and it feels like the federal side was more important.

Reason for choosing Deltek GovWin IQ

Our current product was purchased by GovWin so we stayed with it.

Onvia was purchased by GovWin and we kept our subscription.

### "Use of system for Business Development and Marketing tool"

November 5, 2021

4.0

We have used Deltek for well over 10yrs and it has become our "go to" in the sense of holding all our prior project history and experience. It has become an invaluable tool.

Pros

It has the capacity to handle multiple searches at one time, making it easy to track clients, projects and individuals for ease of contact and dialogue w/ others internally.

Cons

We have yet to figure out whether it is possible to zoom in on the screen to make it larger and easier to see all the functions and information on a small laptop. When travelling the font size can be an issue when you don't have multiple screens to use.

### "GovWin is a business intelligence partner"

November 5, 2021

5.0

We are using GovWin to identify RFPs and to research contractors who work with the federal government. The research and customer support is second to none.

Pros

GovWin is the most comprehensive source for US public contracts, rfps and entities/companies that hold contracts in the public sector.

Cons

The ease of use could be improved. If I haven't used the software in a while it takes some time to refamiliarize.

Reason for choosing Deltek GovWin IQ

GovWin truly partners with their clients, helping them procure the maximum value out of the software.

### "Govwin Review"

November 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

It gives us a lot of useful information on bids. The documents are easy to download. If the documents are not available for download, it give us the contact information which is great.

Cons

Sometimes I find it a little difficult searching and finding information on the Federal, State/Local & Ed Tabs that are on the Main pages

### "Overpriced Scraping Engine"

August 14, 2023

1.0

Not a solution for businesses shopping for quality leads in higher ed.

Pros

Ability to save searches. I can't think of many positive aspects after 8 months of use.

Cons

GovWin primarily functions as a web scraper, gathering 'opportunities' from various online sources. However, its user interface is not the most user-friendly, and the data often lacks verification or refinement. Many of the presented 'opportunities' either necessitate third-party memberships or provide imprecise and incomplete details. For better return on investment and time, consider exploring alternative solutions.

### "Onvia has helped our firm find opportunities and work we never would have otherwise."

September 5, 2017

5.0

Opportunities delivered to my inbox daily. So many prospects we never would have found without it.

Pros

Onvia continues to update and make improvements that reflect the customer and ease of use. The search features are so easy to customize and navigate.

Cons

Onvia has recently made changes that make it more difficult and time consuming to determine if a lead is for a bid or a SOQ.

### "Amazing Product"

November 6, 2018

5.0

I have found it to be extremely useful and helpful when searching for opportunities that have little to no information.

Pros

I like the flexibility of their search options, and the ease of searching within GovWin

Cons

Although I love the software, I wish Federal and State are bundled. I also wish there was more visibility into GWACS

### "Good Contracting Intel but Very Expensive!"

December 4, 2018

5.0

I use GovWin IQ daily to track potential contracting opportunities with the Federal Govt.

Pros

We use GovWin daily and get great information about federal govt. Contracting oppurtunities! But it is a financial strain on the Small Business I work for to keep it fou to its exorbitant price.

Cons

The price makes it very hard for small companies to use GovWin/Deltek software and services. No App for GovWin IQ so must use it on a computer.

### "Govwin IQ Usage"

August 16, 2017

5.0

Pros

Govwin IQ provides me with the most up to date snapshot of what is occurring in procurement in the fed space

Cons

I wish it had a little more ease of use in some areas especially in regard to the search functions and how you can only pick one filter at a time if your not on the main screen.

### "Much better than the Free services“"

November 11, 2019

4.0

We have found many federal contract opportunities early that we may have never found otherwise!!

Pros

Great searching capabilities!! Intelligence not available anywhere else!! A must for those performing federal government contracts.

Cons

The cost is prohibitive of smaller companies. Just Not sure how a new company can afford this service.

November 15, 2016

4.0

GovWin was recently added to our firm and we have been using it for about 3 months now. I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of expertise that the account managers have and their timely responsiveness. They are extremely knowledgeable in the product and the industry and if they are unable to answer a question that we have they will find it and get back to you within 24 hours in almost every case. We have enjoyed working with them and the information obtained has been tremendous!

### "Great prospecting tool!"

November 14, 2016

5.0

GovWin IQ is the industry go-to tool for government contracting prospecting! You can learn anything about a potential opportunity, and you can even identify teaming partners to help you execute on the project. I always consult GovWin IQ first whenever i try to learn about a new opportunity.

Pros

Ease of use, ability to query for opportunities, document repository (old contracts, RFPs, etc.)

Cons

It's hard sometimes to perform a detailed search using multiple search terms. Plus, it's hard to perform a secondary search for capabilities.
