### "Pretty standard proposal creation tool"

May 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

This tool made it easy to create a proposal template that I could quickly & easily edit and send to potential clients. Easy to use, nothing too stressful about it.

Cons

The graphic design needs an update. The proposals look a little dated, and definitely not in line with the current design standards for digital marketing (my industry). I recently switched to a different tool because of this.

### "Bid Magic works with reservations"

March 23, 2022

4.0

I requested through my IT Group the server based, BM talked them into their cloud based version. Its clunky at best

Pros

I like BM as I have used it for 10 Years, their cloud based system needs a lot of help. Their C.S. needs even more help.

Cons

Everything has to run through 1 person. I believe it is a family biz and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is the only one with answers

### "Did I say crash?"

August 3, 2022

2.0

I’ve learned to adapt around its inadequacies but recent crashing and ridiculously slow performance is making me question continued use

Pros

It’s better than using MS Excel in that it’s formulas and layout are already pre-built

Cons

Where do I start? We use the cloud version with 4 seats…. Constant crashing, executing functions are S-L-O-W and often take minutes to load like your using a 10 yr old computer (all other ohms work fine), when multiple users are on simultaneity it gets infinitely slower and you can tell when a crash is about to happen. It has flawed formulas and document templates. Customer service is poor

Reason for choosing BidMagic Proposal Software

Our need was for proposal generation, period. Not CAD, Visio, or other complications

### "I would NOT Recommend this Program"

October 16, 2019

3.0

Pros

It made a very professional looking proposal, integration with QuickBooks was good.

Cons

It was a major computer hog using SQL server, it was down often, tech support was very good probably the best experience was with tech support, but in the end we were down for 5 weeks and they still wanted our money for renewal. That was the final straw, We now use an electronic proposal program and love it and it is much easier and less money and tracks when the customer signs it and approves it and has e-sign for ease of approvals.

Reason for choosing BidMagic Proposal Software

I would not use them again.

### "Worst Software I have ever used"

December 5, 2018

1.0

Poor. Cant wait to get rid of it.

Pros

The proposals look great with Bidmagic isn't crashing and freezing up.

Cons

Horrible support, I've had well over 100 crashes in the last 6 months. They don't respond to support tickets or call you back. Very basic feature like copy and paste for some menus don't work. Sometimes on boot up it takes 10 to 15 minutes before the program even opens. Bidmagic never does maintenance on the logs causing the program to bottle neck and hardly work. We burn 3 times the time it should take to get a proposal done.

### "Would not recommend to an AVL integrator. Has too many issues and is not the easy product advertised"

March 19, 2018

2.0

This is yet to be determined

Pros

"If it were working" the quotes look good and professional. There are two ways to preview a bid, either as a Word document or as a PDF. The tech said not to use the PDF lol. Anyway, if the bugs were fixed this would be an ideal solution for our needs but since we are having so many problems, I would recommend waiting to purchase this.

Cons

We have over invested in equipment and man hours to implement this software with a server for two chairs and are months in. The problems still are not resolved and the Tech support is slow to find answers from the developer.

### "Old antiquated and pricey. Integration into other systems is bad. "

December 30, 2020

1.0

Started out good and venders don't keep up support.

Pros

can edit anything and customize it. I am use to it.

Cons

To hard to get products into takes a lot of time does not keep track of price changes. Does not do change orders. Installed on a local pc only I can use. Not automatically backed up.

Reason for choosing BidMagic Proposal Software

Use to be vender supported.
