Why Choose Virtual Dojo Over VARStreet?
Choosing the right quoting platform impacts how fast you respond to federal RFQs and whether you'll stay compliant with CMMC and GSA requirements. Both Virtual Dojo and VARStreet help government contractors create quotes—but VARStreet's compliance features are basic add-ons, not core platform capabilities.
Here's an honest comparison to help you decide which platform is right for your team.

Key Differences That Matter
Virtual Dojo:
-
Features built for managing government contracts and RFQs
-
AI that understands federal contracting and compliance
-
Modern interface—productive in hours, not weeks
VARStreet:
-
Commercial VAR platform with limited government add-ons
-
Government compliance features sold as separate modules
-
Basic federal contracting capabilities added after core platform
The Bottom Line. VARStreet is a solid commercial VAR platform with some government contracting features—but compliance and federal contracting are afterthoughts, sold as add-on modules. You'll need to purchase additional modules for the government features you actually need.
