### "I use PMAPs on a daily basis as our RFP library in order to respond to standard questions."

February 1, 2018

4.0

I am able to perform the daily functions of my job.

Pros

I like that you can set categories and sub-categories to filter by. I also appreciate the save function.

Cons

I wish the search function operated more like a search engine. Often times the results will vary even when the same information is entered.

### "I've used this software for the last few years and PMAPs accomplishes what it says it does. "

January 29, 2018

3.0

This software helps me with duties of the my position.

Pros

the search feature is the main function that stands out. I maybe that I've been using it for a while but I am able to locate the information that I'm searching for.

Cons

The copy feature I find is really clunky. I find myself not using most of this feature. I simply do a quick copy which does not count the # of uses of the document.

### "Easy to use for Q&A searching"

January 29, 2018

4.0

Quick and efficient tool for us to respond to RFP's with easy and intuitive search function.

Pros

It is intuitive, allows for multiple keywords search, multiple languages support. We use this for responding to RFP's with simple search, copy and paste. Works well for us.

Cons

We would like to be able to import and export from spreadsheet, also there is no Wildcard search capability.

### "PMAPS is relatively user friendly. We use it for proposal generation and for content management."

February 1, 2018

4.0

Good content management. Once built, automation is a nice benefit.

Pros

I think the UI is pretty simple and easy to use. Most of the buttons are clear about their functionality.

Cons

There are several limitations to creating documents from Salesforce. While I understand that there is a need to have PMAPS map fields from Salesforce to PMAPS, I think there should be a tool to allow users to build.

### "I use PMAPS everyday as my team stores all of our documents here for reference."

January 25, 2018

4.0

We store all of our documents that we work on here and language as IDs in the search tab to search for and use and update along the way.

Pros

I like the overall setup of the site. The search nature on the Search tab and the setup of the page.

Cons

One item that could be improved is the ability to search for words, sentences, phrases, etc. in the dashboard tab. It would be nice to search through old uploaded finalized documents for example the word "municipal bond" to find past documents where this word was used within the document. This is only currently available in the "Search tab" which contains Different ID documents vs. the Dashboard. It would be nice to have the search ability of the search tab in the dashboard tab. Also when I toggle "Webpro filters" it would be nice to search for a filter in the "add new filter" drop down

### "Need to learn more about PMAPS to make sure we are using it well"

January 29, 2018

4.0

Its a good tool for placing all content in one location.

Pros

I like that I can use the software to search key words and the copy paste doesn't completely change the format of my document.

Cons

very generic software and doesn't have the same traits as google search when searching for content.

### "I find PMAPS visually pleasing and easy to navigate. However, it lacks intuitive searching."

January 31, 2018

5.0

Pros

I enjoy how easy it is to navigate through the software and how it is visually uncluttered. I also like the ease of automatic log in.

Cons

Since this is a library for me, it's incredibly difficult to find items that I need. This is something that is regularly discussed amongst myself and my coworkers.

### "PMAPs has been a very helpful tool and is really user friendly."

February 1, 2018

5.0

Making it easy for me to create proposals without a lot of industry knowledge.

Pros

I like how user friendly it is. For someone who has no experience in the industry I am working in, PMAPS makes it easy for me to find the pieces I need to create a professional proposal.

Cons

For a few weeks I had extreme difficulty logging in. It would continuously say my username and password was invalid and I never would get emails (they just wouldn't send) to update them. It was difficult to get the help I needed logging in.

### "PMAPS does it all!"

November 10, 2017

5.0

Pros

We needed a reliable document and Q&A repository. Not only does it go beyond satisfying that requirement with excellent search and management capabilities, but I can respond to proposals quickly, using less resources or enable my sales team to save HOURS of time creating proposals, SOWs, and PPT presentations in a super user-friendly manner.

### "The product is very versatile and has a great deal of functionality. "

January 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

The fact that PMAPS has collaborative tools and efficient document management are what I like most about the software. Also there are lots of features in the program and most are good.

Cons

The speed is what I like the least because it could move a little faster. Additionally, a lot of the workflows, functions and features of PMAPS have not been very well thought out.

### "Easy and Intuitive Proposal Content Management tool"

November 5, 2015

5.0

Overall I think PMAPs is a very easy and intuitive tool to use when managing proposal content and completing proposals. I used to feel that the customer service at PMAPs was less than should be desired, but they seem to have really stepped up their game with their Account Managers and there is a significant difference in response time now if issues arise. Cons: Sometimes the system is glitchy which can be scary and frustrating when working on an important document (or any document for that matter). I also dislike how the system auto logs a user off - I work in the tool daily, for most of the day, and usually around 4 pm I will save the document I'm working in only to find out I've been logged out. This forces me to save a copy of the document locally, log back into PMAPs, open the document and then overwrite that version with my locally saved version to ensure all of my edits are stored. This is cumbersome and annoying and happens EVERY day. Pros: Easy to use and intuitive. Customer Service is very responsive. There is RARELY ever downtime with the system, which is extremely nice considering nearly all proposal work is deadline driven.

### "I think inherently that PMAPS is a good system with good potential"

February 14, 2018

3.0

Good language bank

Pros

I like being able to search for words within documents and linking Q&A. The system has good network opportunities to join up the wider and international teams.

Cons

I find it hard to find answers at times although this may be a navigational issue and I do like the application.

March 2, 2018

It serves as a place to store all of our most frequently used responses -- making it possible to to go to one place.

Pros

It is easy to use -- not complicated. It is helpful to have a place to store our most frequently used responses for RFPs.

Cons

I find the key word search process frustrating. It is very difficult to find what I need when using key words.

January 25, 2018

4.0

Pros

Ease of use and no training required. Generally the speed is great and search is efficient...........

Cons

Not really an issue with the software, rather the data maintenance process is a burden. Maybe some more intelligence in the search i.e. if I search for GE it will find General Electric, without me having to add this

Pros

We can integrate/collaborate with our content with other divisions within our organization who use the software.

Cons

There are many buttons/functions and it's not clear what they are all used for. Not a very intuitive platform. Cannot be used in a very collaborative way and does not meet all of our needs

### "PMAPS is the solution I use all day for my work needs. I couldn't do my work without it. "

January 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

The customization available is huge plus for us. Our product is constantly changing and we need to able to change our PMAPs settings as the product changes.

Cons

I wish we had the ability to reuse PMAPs entry numbers once they are deleted so that we didn't have our counts so high even after going through and cleansing the database.

### "PMAPS Software has made organizing, updating, and retrieving information quick and straightforward. "

January 29, 2018

4.0

Pros

The software provides an excellent conduit to organize information. When uploading information, there are several different customizable categories that the user can use to sort information. This lets one customize how they want to tag and tier their information to make searching through thousands of records seamless. Under each uploading record, there are options to maintain notes, input the personnel responsible for uploading and/or reviewing the record, and options to put dates on when records become outdated. The last feature is especially helpful as the database will automatically change the highlight on the PMAPS dashboard for any record that has reached the creator's expiration date. This function is immensely helpful on ensuring answers used have been updated or at least recently reviewed. The ability to link word documents to PMAPS makes it quick and painless to update documents through the re-link function. This work with both qualitative and quantitative updates and is a huge time-saver. I use the PMAPS software as a way to store, retrieve, and update thousands of individual records. I've found in using it these past few years that it makes the job far easier.

Cons

When working on PMAPS cloud version of Excel of Microsoft Word, there is no autosave feature, and it's not uncommon for the program to run into errors and forcibly shutdown. You have to make sure to manually save every so often as you will most likely experience the program closing on you unexpectedly at least once if you use PMAPS prolongedly. The saving process on PMAPS can be a little slow (relative to offline in word/excel), so a background frequent autosave would be a really nice feature. I've struggled to use Excel well with PMAPS. Overwriting Excel save files or inserting PMAPS records into Excel files frequently does not work or bugs out. I think Word works very well, but I've had enough struggles over the year that I just use Excel completely offline from PMAPS. When using PMAPS, you don't have the complete functionality of Word or Excel in their cloud system. If you want to change certain advance settings on Word, you have to close out of Word on their cloud, open Word offline and make the change, then re-open Word on PMAPS to have it integrated. There is no \`file tab in Word or Excel when working from the PMAPS cloud.

### "PMAPs Review for BofAML"

August 24, 2016

5.0

The BofAML Institutional RFP Team has been using the PMAPs Proposal Software for over 10 years and its served our needs very well and with each new release it only gets better. Its very reliable, we have never experienced any downtime with the software and it has great automation features which helps save time from both a writer and database manager standpoint.

Pros

Customizable Dashboard view Automation features without having to save document in PMAPs (i.e. Insert Full and Found) Automated templates (Generic Proposals) Robust Filter and sort features (i.e. Filter by topic, SME, ID#, etc. and sort alphabetically/numerically) Robust attribute fields with customization Global attribute features can change one attribute for multiple responses at one time Can download search results into excel Robust Reporting Features No downtime to date PMAPs User Training Guides and Help features Monthly webinars on various topics Customer service relationship very responsive, easy to work with, willing to work with us through issues until resolved, etc.

Cons

There aren't too many cons and the minor issues/annoyances we do have are taken into consideration and usually resolved within a few days or are resolved in the next release.
