The software makes it possible to pick up on nuances that might be missed by the old school hand jamming into an excel spreadsheet. It also allows for searching on key words and generating lists of items such as CDRLs or DIDs called out in a PWS. So far this is huge for any proposal group to use and highly recommended. > > **Cons**: So far I am not happy with the upgrade function which might be more an internal IT process than the vendor. My upgrade did not work so my software is stalled at the moment. Other than this small issue, I have not found anything that I do not like. > > The benefits are huge in the amount of administrative time this will save proposal managers and coordinators in developing annotated outlines, compliance matrices, and other functions that can take hours/days to accomplish. ----- ### "Terrific for RFP Analysis" — 5.0/5 > **Brittony** | *12 December 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a Microsoft based software that's easy to use to shred proposals, create cross reference matrices. > > **Cons**: We don't always need to update the software when Meridian updates it so we didn't purchase software support. However, when we got new laptops, we could not download the software version we already had. > > We use this software to do RFP analysis, create outlines, templates, and cross reference matrices. ----- ### "Meridian RFP" — 4.0/5 > **Eric** | *31 July 2019* | Defense & Space | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Did a good job shredding the RFP and creating a draft compliance matrix > > **Cons**: Somewhat expensive for an individual to purchase. ----- ### "Review of Meridian for RFP Analysis" — 4.0/5 > **Anita** | *30 December 2019* | Aviation & Aerospace | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how this software is able to analyze RFPs and within seconds prepare compliance matrices. No more copy \& pasting\! I use it all the time and required my new employer to purchase it when our company was acquired. The recognized text feature is great to extract those important, will, shall, provide, or any custom phrases for the pursuit. > > **Cons**: What I least like is that the Heading numbering remains in the Text description column after the RFP has been analyzed either by sentence level or paragraph level. It is ok for it to remain in the first column location. But due to time constraints I usually leave it in the 2nd column description of the heading and it does look messy. Only if there is time, it is a very time consuming process to remove all the heading numbering in that second column. On certain .pdf documents the text disappears and I never know if it has been removed or it has become a part of the prior line item. Sometimes this happens and I need to be sure to check that all text belongs in the right line item with the correct heading numbering. > > Overall this is the best software to save time and effort to efficiently prepare compliance matrices and distribute amongst the subject matter experts. Most of the time they are surprised how quickly I can have the compliance matrices ready for them to start working on. ----- ### "Meridian for RFP Analysis" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *31 July 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is a great product that does just what it says it will do - makes the time-consuming laborious process of shredding an RFP systematic and complete. Your end products include a comprehensive compliance matrix, a working outline for your proposal with all references captured, and auto-populated storyboards and writing tools for preparing your response. All the work is done up front when you shred the RFP and create your worksheets; from that point, you can use your own template to build reports, outlines, and so forth. The support team is proactive, engaged, and available to help you through the learning curve both one-on-one and in regularly scheduled interactive webinars. The team is also constantly evaluating their product, asking for user input, and making improvements and changes based on these needs. > > **Cons**: Not the software's issue, but learning curve - finding the time to use it enough to get proficient. > > Providing efficiencies to our proposal department ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/137002/meridian-for-rfp-analysis?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/137002/meridian-for-rfp-analysis) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
