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. ----- ### "Responsive is a good tool for IT assessments/customer questionnaires" — 4.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *16 April 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Q/A Library is the tool's best benefit. Having a place to store and easily access company information collected through previous work efforts is valuable and improves efficiency and reliance on internal stakeholders. > > **Cons**: Inability to work easily with online portals and challenging formatting. Online portals that do not easily allow for input/export is a manual and time consuming effort that is supported by the Q/A library. Second - customers format their documents differently, and not all are easy to upload in responsive causing duplication of effort. > > I've had a good experience with Repsonsive. I brought the tool to my current company after using with my previous employer. The Q/A database makes the product worthwhile to respond to customer IT assessments and customer questionnaires. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Responses about Responsive" — 4.0/5 > **Scott** | *4 May 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Innovative UI that updates frequently with new enhancements. The AI feature is very promising and has acted as a multiplier when it comes to productivity and speed of responding to RFIs and RFPs. I am also witnessing quality improvements with AI-generated responses over the last 6-9 months. The AI features help me be a rock star at work keep it coming\!\!\! > > **Cons**: Not flexible enough. Making AI runs seems complicated. Not enough collaborative features. Work on custom options. My manager added some custom fields and seems like we could not do much with them after creation? > > Excellent. A nice cloud service. Look for ways to motivate endusers to think about Responsive for more than just RFIs and RFPs and formal requests for Info... ----- ### "Underwriter's Perspective on Responsive" — 4.0/5 > **Justin** | *28 April 2026* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it is a one stop shop for all stakeholders in the RFP process where RFP asks, conversations and workflows can all be housed in one spot. It is easy to see what has been answered, what remains to review and easy to assign team members where needed to get the right people on the right questions to keep the workflow moving. > > **Cons**: There are sometimes issues with the responses that are automatically pulled in where a question has a auto-response that does not answer the question being asked. > > Overall I have had a good experience using Responsive. I think it is a valuable resource for what it is. It is easy to then also have a document created with a record of how we responded for future reference. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/425174/Responsive?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/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
