RFP Response & Proposal Software
Response management and proposal automation for sell-side teams: content libraries, review workflow, and the contract steps downstream of an award.
What we cover, and what we don’t
We cover 3 products in RFP Response & Proposal Software. This hub spans what G2 keeps as two sibling markets, RFP Software and Proposal Software. Contract lifecycle management is covered here as an adjacent workflow rather than as a ranked market of its own. Responsive, Loopio, QorusDocs and Proposify, four of the response side's best-known names, are on our proposal and RFP exclusion list and are absent by policy, not by oversight. The highest-scored product in this category, Qvidian, is published by Upland Software — the company that owns Enterprise Software Review.
