## Reviews

### "An extremely powerful content management system for RFPs and Sales content." — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *3 November 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The rich feature set and flexibility around managing content is excellent. While it's a little intimidating at first, the amount of functionality is one of Responsive's strong points.
> 
> **Cons**: Occasionally there's bugs and glitches. I think the downside of having so many features and functionality is the risk that code clashes sometimes and bugs are present. Responsive is very errr...responsive with bugs and addressing support tickets which is a plus, however, it would be good if bugs weren't present in the first place of course.
> 
> It's been a great experience. A huge step up from our previous platform. The power of the platform is a clear win...the flexibility and options to manage and review content is second to none. Once familiar with the platform, it offers amazing flexibility to a power user.

### "AI enabled RFP responding platform which allows for cross functional collaboration" — 5.0/5

> **Anthony** | *19 February 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: AI enabled RFP responding platform which provides automatic prompts for each question. Collaborative platform allows entire teams to work on a single project.
> 
> **Cons**: Formatting when downloading means that images are not embedded in cells during download and extraction process.
> 
> Good experience so far. RFPIO is extensively used as part of my role.

### "Nobody wants to answer RFPs, Responsive makes it easier" — 4.0/5

> **Hector** | *27 March 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: No one wants to answer RFPs; it is an outdated industry practice.&#10;&#10;Responsive makes this easier by providing a central repository for all RFP responses and enabling collaboration among team members, which improves productivity by allowing people from different teams to work on proposals in parallel.
> 
> **Cons**: The AI capabilities are still immature, and the generated answers always need to be reviewed, which is time-consuming and undermines the solution's productivity gains.
> 
> I think the solution has many areas for improvement, particularly in AI and library maintenance, but the core functionality is solid and delivers the key features needed by growing organizations.

### "Best Solution in the Industry to Me" — 5.0/5

> **Susan** | *16 April 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The speed in which I can import projects.&#10;The export to original upload format.&#10;The AI, the AI\!\!\!\!\!&#10;The wonderful responsive, accurate, helpful support team.&#10;The incredible staff, webinars, coffee chats, and community
> 
> **Cons**: When I find the hidden incapabiilties, contact the help team, and then realize that it is fact an incapability. For example, we can run one AI Draft per project; otherwise a staff member has to clone it to add an additional document.
> 
> I lovvvve Responsive\! There is zero comparison to the tool I had previously that literally kept me working through the night\!

-----

### "Responsive Review" — 3.0/5

> **Hannah** | *24 March 2026* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It automates responses, and aids in seeing past responses. Helps track the progress of bids and sets reminders to meet deadlines.
> 
> **Cons**: The answers don't always pull in accurately for questions we have seen over and over again. Navigating questions can be difficult, or going back to finding an unanswered question is not straightforward.
> 
> Ok. Has some features that simplifies the RFP process, while other navigation features make it harder.
