This is a great group with several different experiences and I would like to see if anyone has done any comparisons of Vantage configurator to others in the market. Has anyone compared it to BigMachines configurator or have any experience with implementing BigMachines configurator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much and keep up the good job Vantage Yahoo group.

When we started looking at sofware 2 years ago we looked at about a dozen ERP systems with product configurators. Vantage was the only one that was versatile enough out of the box to meet our needs. With that said, there was still a lot of programming and customizations needed to get the configurator working the way we wanted it to and it may not have been any more expensive to have a custom one built for one of the other software packages.

I always tell everyone: Cheap, Fast, Versatile, User Friendly - Pick two because you can't have all of them. In my opinion, the Vantage configurator falls in the cheap and versatile catagories and the speed isn't to bad either. It definitely is not user friendly when it comes to designing it, but you can make it fairly user friendly for the end user. I guess my biggest complaint would be the pricing part of the configurator, it is mostly useless. Some of the other products we looked at did a much better job at calculating costs and prices in their configurators.
