Self Employed at a tech vendor
I value the document formatting and generation.
I value the document formatting and generation. It has evolved over time and has seen better days, but the capabilities are still very good. However, not for the high price. The product is good, but it is butchered to be a workflow engine, which it is not really designed for.

Flexible, easy to use, and has fast output generation
Based on current market trends, Quadient has ticked all the boxes. For the next release, I would like to see more features in the Evolve Cloud offering. The Evolve Platform will be a game changer for Quadient as it will attract more enterprise customers who want to move their CCM platform to the cloud. The other CCM platform has its offering in the cloud, but it has some limited use cases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The system has improved a number of customers' communication pieces, made them look better, and provided features to enhance them."
"Inspire is fast, reliable, and pretty unlimited in what you can do."
"The reports we produce are customised to a wide range of client type with the optional pages and sections numbering in their hundreds."
"The user-friendly way that workflows in Quadient Inspire can be composed and organized goes a long way towards minimizing the time spent creating complex tasks, thus creating more available programming time/capacity for new jobs. While original scripting knowledge is preferential to using the tool effectively, the modular structure and GUI interface makes it much easier to grasp than otherwise might have been the case."
"The most valuable features are the easy-to-use document composition tool and the automatization tools."
"In the past, we used other VDPs and we moved to Inspire Designer due to its ease of use, flexibility, and processing speed."
"The most valuable aspect of Inspire is that it is constantly being upgraded to keep up with current market trends."
"This solution does everything we need, plus so much more."
"It’s easier to maintain and edit communication, and it error-proofs our regulatory responsibility."
 

Cons

"Everything is proprietary and the days are counted that it will last."
"In the (near) future I would love to be able to merge Excel XLS data with the same level of ease that we can currently merge CSV data sources (including text attributes, which are lost when using the CSV format)."
"One improvement would be to make the training modules or university free for users, as not all companies will pay for their employees to do the training and get the certificates."
"The product would be improved with the inclusion of support for address cleansing in all of the EU countries."
"I feel the scripting modules are very powerful but are difficult to use if you do not have the programming knowledge."
"What can be improved are the new additions to the solution."
"The power and depth of the product mean that it can be quite difficult to see everything that is going on."
"It would be great to have an easy interface to handle the 80% of simple impositions and still have the complexity needed for the other 20%."
"The product would be improved with the inclusion of support for address cleansing in all of the EU countries."
