Bigtincan vs. Showpad eOS®

BTC is well suited for a mobile environment where information needs to be pushed continuously to a remote or field based work force. It is not appropriate for organizations that congregate in an office or have heavy use of desktops and laptops; there are other applications that are better suited for this environment.

Showpad Content works well to provide a central hub for all document hosting. The interface is simple and easy enough to use. Our sales team likes that you are able to see when a user has opened your file once it has been shared with them and how long they spent viewing it.

• Administration interface could be made slightly more user friendly.
• Customisation of dashboard / homescreen is only possible by engaging third-prties.

• Not truly a limitation, but I would love it if I could customize the design a bit further within the shared spaces that I create.
• Loading large resources sometimes takes a few seconds - not particularly long and not an issue, but it is not instantaneous in some cases.

I have not been involved with support from Showpad so I am not entirely sure. However, we have received some emails from our help desk about an outage and it seems like it didn't last very long so I would say that it was pretty effective support to that extent.

Diligent [Boards] was less user friendly than the Hub, and certain security and annotation features were lacking.

Honestly, I have yet to see another service similar to Showpad. You might have email trackers that tell you when your clients opened up an email or which links from your email were clicked. Showpad has it all, in addition to having a hub of resources where you can easily share with your clients. The level of engagement tracking from using Showpad is next-level.
