|---|---|---|
| Overall quoting experience | Several pages are required in the out-of-the-box quote flow. It enables customers to add, remove, or swap their own pages, or extend existing components with plugins. |
The Quote Studio page can be used with legacy-guided selling flows if desired. Note that this page offers more elegant product filtering capabilities, with quick filters and product filters, allowing you to maintain the single-page quoting experience. |
| Quote metrics preview | Quote metrics can be viewed only when the quote has been created. | Support both live and on-demand preview of in-flight quote metrics. |
| Ramp deal creation | Creating complex ramp deals requires a substantial amount of time and experience to configure appropriately in the multi-page quote flow. Mid-Interval updates also cause usability challenges. | Complex ramp deal creation is concise, intuitive, and flexible. You can easily make changes at any point along the timeline of the subscription, whether aligned to interval starts or not. |
| Future dated actions | Similar to ramp deals, creating updates at a future date (not within a ramp structure) can cause usability challenges in the legacy UI. | By using intuitive action icons and modals, creating updates at a future date in a subscription (future-dated actions) becomes easy. |
| Products and rate plans searching or filtering | Can be achieved through in-page search text matching. |
Can be achieved either through search text matching or through the administrator-configured product filters and quick filters. |
