CL charles l. AE Information Technology and Services ### "Premium subscription is worthless if you're not interested in every random RFP " 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 September 8, 2024 Abysmal. I reached out to customer service three times to give them the benefit of the doubt. Each time, I was advised to ensure I had specific search criteria, which I did but kept adding more. After continuing to receive bids in every random industry across the country, I found that my only options for bid alerts was daily e-mails. There is no option for weekly/monthly, or anything but daily "spam" e-mails. When I asked if this was bug or a feature and requested that only relevant bids matching my keywords a locations get sent to me, I was told that the "occasional" mismatched bid opportunity might get slipped in. I'm bewildered why this company wouldn't just only send me e-mails with bids I've asked for instead of losing my subscription of over $100/month, which I happily would have just left open for the next several decades. Pros I thought it would help me stay aware of relevant bid opportunities Cons Not only have I never received a bid that comes close to relevant, but for 3 months I get daily e-mails about bid opportunities in every State in the country, despite only paying for one State, and putting very specific criteria in my search settings. Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G because one of my government clients puts out all their bids on bidsync (I'm sure this was a decision made long ago).

Periscope's services are as promised with no unexpected surprises. In particular, I appreciate the comprehensive RFP coverage and alerts delivered to my email based on keywords. Pros I appreciate the RFP alerts delivered to my inbox every day. It allows me to scan newly issued RFPs quickly and efficiently. I have been using the software for 4 years and find that the coverage is thorough. Cons I don't have any complaints about this software. I have used a number of programs and feel that Periscope delivers as promised.

Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G We like to have lot's of software looking as 90% of our business involves responding to government RFPs. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Administrative Specialist Plastics ### "Review of Platform" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 4/10 January 26, 2021 It's been helpful in finding opportunities on other portals. Pros It made it easy to find bid opportunities for our products. Cons It only acted as a link for these opportunities, so we still need to go through the registration and bidding process in other platforms. (Not really a flaw, but we only found one opportunity that we could actually bid through Periscope on) Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G N/A Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

ADA Project Manager Architecture & Planning ### "Irrelevant Bids" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 October 1, 2020 I did a ton of research before deciding to go with BidSync. I'm sad to say it feels like we were duped. The salesperson told me with the free version we only get 3% of bids, and with the paid national plan we'd get 100%. Sounded good at the time. Now I realize they meant 100% of the bids on BidSync, not 100% of the bids total that are out there. I understand now that it's not possible to say you can pull 100% of the bids out there (if anyone says that it's a lie), but we were led to believe otherwise. And unfortunately there is no refund even though we haven't gotten even one bid since using their service. Pros The idea of getting an email with a bunch of bids is great, but almost all of the bids that come to my inbox are irrelevant to my company. I can see how they would be good for construction companies, but we are a consulting firm, consulting architects and engineers on designing projects to comply with ADA. Cons Most bids are not at all what we're looking for. I called customer service so they could make sure I have the right keywords and words to avoid, and I still get irrelevant bids to my inbox and when I search online. What's worse, I get relevant bids from other competitor websites to my inbox that when I click on them naturally want me to sign up with them and when I search for those bids on BidSync to get those docs, they don't have those bids. I called customer service and apparently they don't monitor those sites. Those were three bids we missed out on because BidSync didn't notify us about them! Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G Misled by sales person, thought BidSync covered more bids Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor November 4, 2020 Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. We see that you are not satisfied with the number of bids relevant to your business. While we monitor 100,000+ bid websites per month, we do not control agency demand for specific services/goods, it can be cyclical. We cannot guarantee a specific industry/specialization will have a constant high demand as these needs are determined by agencies. We apologize for any confusion about what our service provides. S2G Premium (formerly BidSync) is a bid notification service. We notify you of relevant bids in near real-time. We can only provide full bid info and response capability for those bids from agencies that use our Sourcing solution. If a specific agency prefers to use a different service for their RFP submissions, we still notify you of the bid, but you may need to register in their system to see full bid info and to respond. Our support team is always available to help you modify keywords and settings to get more relevant bids. FW FRANCOIS W. CEO Education Management ### "Lots of Opportunities" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 April 8, 2020 I loved the ability to filter opportunities by keywords Pros The ability to find all kinds of federal, state and military opportunities all on one platform. Cons It's quite expensive as some of the solicitations can be sourced for free on most government procurement websites. Alternatives considered [SourceSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/132319/BidNet-SourceSuite/) Reasons for choosing Periscope S2G Because I purchased BidSync prior to BidNet.
