The library provides a way to assign different owners and keep individual Q\&A pairs updated in real. Access to our stock answers saves our users and SMEs hundreds of hours each quarter and affords them more time to devote to their primary job functions while spending less time on researching technical responses. > > **Cons**: RFPIO is great for small to moderate sized teams. For larger organizations who complete 20 or more RFPs per month with multiple RFP teams working at the same time, multiple, parallel instances of RFPIO may be needed to best suit those needs on a grand scale. > > Hundreds of hours saved in responding to questionnaires and RFPs. RFPIO offers very competitive cost savings over most of the larger RFP software providers. The same functionality at a fraction of the cost of the big guys. Customer support is top notch - all questions or requests for help are addressed within the same day (or within 24 hours at most). Great, direct support from the management team - no call centers, no outsourced product support. You get assistance from people who helped build the product. ----- ### "Tracks each question, review, task, and edit" — 4.0/5 > **Abby** | *13 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Being able to track who completes each question, review, and task, and when they do it. > > **Cons**: Responsive sometimes does not recognize RFP documents in the import configuration setting. > > The tool's content library had improved how quickly our company can respond to RFPs, RFIs, and RFQs ----- ### "Management" — 2.0/5 > **Stephanie** | *29 April 2026* | Research | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: From a document management perspective, this system can serve as a centralized repository for our templates with controlled access. It also enables a “build once, use many” approach, allowing us to update shared or redundant sections in one place rather than across multiple templates. While we are still working on standardizing and organizing our templates to fully realize this capability, the long‑term efficiency and governance benefits are significant. > > **Cons**: At this time, the system does not appear to be very user‑friendly for our company’s needs. Our requirements may be too complex for its intended use. The time investment required to configure and organize our 20+ templates—each with roughly 10 sections or subsections—is substantial, especially considering this represents only a small portion of the overall system shared by three other groups. Additionally, day‑to‑day use would likely be more time‑consuming for our team than our current process. As a result, we may not be able to rely on the system for daily work and instead would primarily use it for template management, downloading templates into Word and editing from there, which mirrors how our assignments are currently handled. > > The system presents challenges from both an organizational and case‑development perspective and appears to be time‑consuming to set up and maintain. It is not as intuitive or efficient as working directly in Word for day‑to‑day use. That said, its primary strength lies in its ability to restrict update access and centrally manage templates, which provides stronger control and governance than our current approach. ----- ### "Director, Proposals" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *16 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Progress tracking is one at the top of the list. The amount of hours it saves our proposal managers on tracking the progress of a project is massive. That lone is worth the value. In addition, the accountability it holds with associates in reviewing their content. Without a system like Responsive's content library and review structure, our responses would not be where they are at today. Lastly, employee management - I oversee the proposal team and each morning I review a status on all projects to see where we are and having a dashboard like the Project view, executive dashboards, etc. it's extremely helpful. > > **Cons**: Exporting into templates. My team spends a considerable amount of extra hours cleaning up the formatting when it doesn't export well or when we export into our template, but want to align with the clients RFP format - most times, it doesn't export that way, so the proposal managers spend countless hours cleaning this up. I have addressed this in the past. I would love it if there was a way we could have some sort of sequential author answering in the project. Today, we have multiple people that could contribute to one response. When one person is done, there is no way to track their progress, so what we have to do is create a manual process for tracking. It's extremely time consuming. > > I love Responsive. It's a great tool and best on the market. We couldn't do our job the same way without it. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/425174/Responsive?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/425174/Responsive) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
