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."
"The most valuable feature we have found is the speed to produce files and the number of files that can be sent at one time."
"The feature we use on every job is the NS Splitter, which enables us to impose jobs two up on SRA3 paper seamlessly, allowing us to maximize print layout and costs savings."
"This solution does everything we need, plus so much more."
"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."
"From my own personal use of Inspire, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone considering it as a solution for their business in the right circumstances."
"Its easy-to-learn scripting possibilities give unlimited possibilities for any task."
"It supports various types of input files and can generate different types of output files."
"In the past, we used other VDPs and we moved to Inspire Designer due to its ease of use, flexibility, and processing speed."
 

Cons

"Everything is proprietary and the days are counted that it will last."
"We'd like to be able to see page breaks when we proof the blocks."
"I feel the scripting modules are very powerful but are difficult to use if you do not have the programming knowledge."
"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)."
"The help system is quite thorough if you know where to look, but I find that its search facility is perhaps not as extensive as it might be and often returns fairly random results unless the search terms used are very specific."
"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."
"What can be improved are the new additions to the solution."
"The de-bug/help system is quite ambiguous at times and only works if you know where to look, but I find that its search facility is perhaps not as extensive as it might be and often returns fairly random results unless the search terms used are very specific."
"I would like more wizards to be included in the scripting module and perhaps an online training course on Udemy would be a useful asset."
