Considered Both Products
Chili Piper
Chose Chili Piper
I have only used the free version of Calendly so it is not exactly a fair comparison. With both of my experiences with this software Chili Piper feels more robust, especially with integrations. Chili Piper integrates with Outlook, Salesforce, and Zoom. These are the 3 …
Chose Chili Piper
This is only comparing the meeting scheduling functions of which Outreach was easier for our reps to learn and use. Otherwise they cannot really be compared.
Chose Chili Piper
Calendly was being used at the company by some other departments and still is to some extent. However adding Chili Piper fore the marketing and sales departments was a no brainer once we saw the demo. It's Calendly on steroids and the company is just getting started using it. …
Chose Chili Piper
I've used Drift and Salesloft scheduling tools. They all connect to google calendars, but Chili Piper is the only that I'm aware of that can insert time suggestions without actually blocking the time off as well as Round Robin assignment of meetings. Chili Piper has been the …
Chose Chili Piper
I prefer using Chili Piper as compared to Calendly. Both are great tools but Chili Piper seems to align better with our team needs.
Chose Chili Piper
In the past I have booked with Calendly, but were unable to set up a true salesforce integration, and were not able to set up a marketo integration. Calendly is great for a simpler flow or for a 1:1 scheduling app, but for our team that is made up of different regions and uses …
Chose Chili Piper
The end result was more in line with what we were looking for. Our main objective was to allow people to go to the website and explore our content, and then easily schedule a demo without having to wait for someone to call them and set something up. Chili Piper created the …
Chose Chili Piper
Way better tool and far easier to use than Calendly. This is the full bundle from rev/sales ops to daily use across AE's and SDR's
Chose Chili Piper
I personally have never had experience with a platform similar to Chili Piper prior to this year.
Chose Chili Piper
When we were vetting we didn't find a tool that would match Chili Piper in functionality.
Few Sales Enablement tools work with Events and can match some of its functionality, but that wasn't good enough for our needs:)
Chose Chili Piper
ChiliPiper is far easier to use for scheduling on someone else’s calendar. The ability to add a link in emails for people to schedule onto our calendars is nice as well. Neither of these things is possible in Outlook by itself, so it’s nice that it helps with those things.
Chose Chili Piper
As a startup Google calendars were adequate. But as the company grew, the ability to schedule multiple teams and even multiple sales team we had to have a way to allow a logical way to see and schedule the appropriate team. Also giving customers to schedule with certain …
Chose Chili Piper
Chili Piper meeting booking is superior to Outreach

Chose Chili Piper
It stacks up well. Much more logic and ability to customize workflows and logic than Calendly, for example. The integration with Salesforce is also very strong. If you need advance scheduling logic, this is one of the strongest options in the market in my opinion. The ability …
Chose Chili Piper
We actually have not used any products like Chili Piper as of yet here at PitchBook. In my last role at Onerent I also did not use Chili Piper... the closest thing that we used was part of outlook/salesforce capability.
Chose Chili Piper
It's not even close. Chili Piper is way more robust and effective. The support time is world class and promptly fixes issues.
Chose Chili Piper
We started with Calendly, but were unable to set up a true salesforce integration, and were not able to set up a marketo integration. Calendly is great for a simpler flow or for a 1:1 scheduling app, but for our team that is made up of different regions and use marketing …

Chose LeanData
Lane Four is no longer in business (I think LeanData acquired) but Leandata is more flexible and reliable than it. Also more so than the custom code we used prior.
Chose LeanData
Its better and more modern. The UI is a much better experience
Chose LeanData
Salesforce flows are getting more and more powerful and similar to what LeanData does, but the routing function and territory mapping in LeanData is far superior to SFDC functionality, especially when it comes to the visibility and audit trails that it captures as people go …
Chose LeanData
LeanData solved all of our needs and allowed ownership and management we needed to scale our routing engine. We also loved working with the LeanData team and had an extremely positive experience with our sales rep and implementation team. I would want LeanData at any company I …
Chose LeanData
LeanData is easier to use, has a nice visual and handles more complex routing logic.
Chose LeanData
LeanData's native CRM structure made it the clear choice for us. No configuration is needed to read from all CRM fields and objects. We've been customers for 4 years and have never had any issues with its performance.
Chose LeanData
We were not able to devote the developer resources to solving the problem in-house at the moment in time we needed to move on this solution. We wanted (needed) a bespoke solution where implementation could be handled outside of our organization. LeanData was able to offer that …
Chose LeanData
We tried using Ringlead for routing purposes but the way the logic needed to be built was super complex, repetitive and prone to manual errors so we like Leandata as auditing and testing is better and you can even see where the error is for your graph. Having a graphical or …
Chose LeanData
N/A I was not here to evaluate other products nor have I used similar tools.
Chose LeanData
I have not used other products for lead routing besides doing manual distributions and this is much better than that!
Chose LeanData
LeanData Bookit replaced Chili Piper for us, and made it much easier to manage out routing for meetings since we were already using LeanData for routing. We have recently evaluated Qualified, and territory management/round robin logic is much simpler in LeanData.
Chose LeanData
Compared to SFDC out-of-the-box routing it is far superior. Giving you the ability to quickly make changes on the fly and test in a sandbox environment. The ability to troubleshoot leads and how they are routed is also a plus. Built-in email alerts also reduce the amount of …
Chose LeanData
We have routing cababilities in Marketo, Salesforce's out of the box Lea Routing Rules, and custom code. [LeanData] is by far the easier and most flexible for an agile business.
Chose LeanData
The main competitors to LeanData are Lane Four and Distribution Engine. While these solutions are definitely improvements from the native lead routing rules in Salesforce, they do not compare against LeanData. They lack the robust fuzzy matching, visual routing canvas, …
Chose LeanData
At the time of evaluation, in addition to looking for Salesforce.com to solve the issue, I looked at a couple of other, smaller solutions that I can't even remember their name. They didn't offer the same level of robustness or complete solution. The Salesforce.com solution …
Chose LeanData
We didn't thoroughly examine alternatives.
Chose LeanData
The most powerful lead routing tool I’ve seen. It allows you to have so many different ways to route the most complicated of situations.
Chose LeanData
The above are all excellent products in their own right, but lack the specialized focus of Lean Data.

It is very well suited for anyone looking for a scheduling tool that integrates directly with Salesforce and/or Marketo, or other marketing automation platforms. Especially if you need to route to teams based on different regions or other criteria.There are other simpler scheduling tools out there, but this makes routing and tracking on the back end much easier with the best integration with other tools.

LeanData is incredibly configurable. The drag and drop nodes are easy to use and while it takes a little practice, once you know how to configure the nodes, the amount of flexibility you have to customize your instance is impressive. We can route to specific individuals, to Round Robins, to Territory Teams and more. Timezones and vacations rules can be established and respected. The tool is incredibly scalable to large teams. We have two different business units each with different routing practices and we are able to configure LeanData to work smoothly for both unique processes.

Pros
  • The Google Calendar integration is seamless, a unique zoom link is also automatically created when a meeting is booked on my calendar.
  • The booking link is simple for my prospects and customers to find time on my calendar.
  • The chrome plug in is useful to use no matter what tab or page im sitting on.

  • Lead-to-Account Matching. LeanData has far and away the best fuzzy matching system for identifying the appropriate Account where a particular Lead belongs.
  • Lead Routing. LeanData's visual routing canvas allows business users to construct very sophisticated, yet reliable, routing branches that determine what to do with every lead (both new and existing) based on business rules.

Cons
  • The ux interface could be easier to navigate for admins
  • The set up or meeting types could be more intuitive, as an admin I have had to help our reps set this up a lot as they have gotten confused
  • Chili Piper can have certain words they use like booker assignee which could be better defined in the onboarding process for reps
Read full review
  • I think implementing data tables is by far a superior way to achieve complex routing scenarios, but the feature could be more at the forefront (I was previously building very complex webs to achieve similar results before I was aware of how to use them)
  • I wish there were a way to have multiple entry nodes of the same type (ie New/Updated Campaign Member) with different filters for better router organization. I realize this could be implemented by adding additional filters to the existing node, but for viewing cleanliness as opposed to functionality itself, I wish this could change.

Support Rating
  • Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
  • They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

There is no way I would have such a successful implementation of this product without the implementation and support team. They have been patient, helpful, and very responsive. Even after I had gone live and had been so for a while, our org and thus our criteria had changed. They continued to help me make the necessary tweaks to ensure I was up and running.

We were not able to devote the developer resources to solving the problem in-house at the moment in time we needed to move on this solution.

Return on Investment
  • More qualified opps
  • Increased efficiency. Much less time spent trying to line up availability etc. No more back and forth email chains trying to find times to meet.
  • Increased transparency. All meetings and Chili Piper events are logged directly in Salesforce for us.

  • Using the Outreach integration in LeanData that allows us to auto-sequence an inbound prospect that hasn't booked a meeting has brought our average time to touch from 10+ days to >1 day.
  • I can't speak to specific numbers, but using LeanData to route our different onboarding related objects has significantly reduced our onboarding time for new customers.
  • Adding LeanData Bookit has also reduced our spend by consolidating tools. When we acquired a company last year, we were able to use LeanData on their website and get rid of their routing/meeting tools without having to pay for another instance.
