|                                                | Zuora Quotes without CPQ X                                                                                                                                                                      | Zuora CPQ X                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

| 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](https://docs.zuora.com/en/zuora-cpq/zuora-cpq-configurations/product-filters-and-quick-filters-configuration), 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](https://docs.zuora.com/en/zuora-cpq/zuora-cpq-configurations/product-filters-and-quick-filters-configuration).                                                                                                                              |
