Great session with Shannon Great session with Shannon. Very informative and we showed me how to use some features we were underutilizing in order to fully take advantage of GovSpend.

Unprofessional collection and business practice, Old data The data being sold to you is old and outdated. We purchased the GovSpend App under the impression that the data would be accurate and up to date, it was not. The purchase order data was just only information you can already find on search engines. Even when looking at the data, they weren't opportunities my company could win. The sales person told me I had to call and talk to the purchasing officers. Well, we tried that for a few weeks. No purchasing officers wanted to talk to us so they chance of getting any business out of it was nil. For our company, this seemed more and more like vaporware. They keep telling us that we are the ones at fault and made it seem like this was the only time this had ever happened to a customer. On top of that, the whole process is quite offputting. They made us sign a 3 year contract, divided by six payments. After spending 5000 and realizing this was nothing we could earn a penny on, we asked to cancel. They reacted by demanding the remaining balance of $10,000. After telling them we wouldn't pay it, they sent the remaining balance to collections. GovSpend locks you into a long contract without establishing any mechanism for you to exit the contract- but here is the secret, let them take you to court if they want because you can't force someone to pay something when you aren't providing the service promised. I looked online and asked colleagues. There is not a single case of GovSpend taking anyone to court for not paying this cancellation fee but there are thousands of companies who have not paid them according to the collections company. Rather you'll find that this company has had a number of lawsuits against their CEO, business practices, customer complaints, changed names at least 10 times as far as I can trace. Unfortunately, you have to spend 10 minutes digging online to find all this out. I wish I had done that before signing up.

Govspend Customer service The customer service from Jacob and the Govspend team has been exceptional.

Fedmine review I've been really happy with the level of service and support from the Fedmine side of the GovSpend business. Leila Salim is OUTSTANDING - her research skills and familiarity with federal procurement are second to none. She's even help achieve some product enhancements based on our conversations and workflows. Highly recommend her and Fedmine.

Do not buy unless you want to explain to your boss why you are wasting company money Regret my company buying this after a… Regret my company buying this after a month. My company didn't succeed using it. A lot of missing RFPs and the data was wrong or broken links in most cases. We use 3 other services concurrently alongside this. We keep find ourselves using the other services and wishing we didn't waste our time or resource with this oversold solution. You can pretty much do better with any other bid service besides this one. And then you read the real reviews that are anything but good. Wish I would have found this site before purchasing. Data and Rfp are all out of date and not updated. Big waste of money. Unfortunate!!!!
