Considered Both Products
Clari
Chose Clari
Clari is incredible compared to just using SFDC, helps augment the service to another level
Chose Clari
At the time of selection, Clari was a more mature product than Xactly forecasting. We did not want to experience growing pains with Xactly.

Pipeline Inspection from SFDC was just becoming available. We had already selected Clari before we learned about Pipeline Inspection.
Chose Clari
We also use sales force in our office, the management thinks sales force at times does not give better prediction like clari. As per me both the tools are at par with each other. And the best part if integration of sales force to clari, the only challenge I have is about …
Chose Clari
Clari Revenue Platform is a robust sales management solution that offers a range of features and capabilities designed to improve sales performance and forecasting. When compared to similar products, Clari stands out in several areas:
  1. Data integration:Clari integrates with a …
Chose Clari
Clari was selected due to the flawless integration with salesforce, updates are made in real time. Being able to monitor everything at a scalable level has also been critical for our team. For example, we have different views established that show the rep level, manager level, …
Chose Clari
I have not used other forecasting tools other than the built-in functions in Salesforce, Gong, and Outreach. I think that the benefit of Clari against these other tools that almost any Sales organization has is that their whole focus is on forecasting and visibility into your …
Chose Clari
Have evaluated Clari against Outreach. Outreach has a much simpler UI and is very easy to use, and it is also famous amongst sales teams for campaigns, deals tracking and analysis. However, Clari's deal analytics and forecasting is way too superior than Outreach and dasboarding …
Chose Clari
Clari is heads and tails above Microsoft Excel when it comes to forecasting and tracking the numbers for both sales and management. It's not even close.
Chose Clari
Actually, Clari complete what salesforce is providing to my organization, both tools together are integrating to make our business planning cycle much more controlled and visible.
Chose Clari
I've only used Salesforce prior to Clari
Chose Clari
i don't have any insight on this one. I am not familiar with Clari competitors and am a user rather than a purchasing decision maker.
Clari seems like a predominant solution in this category. Perhaps some orgs just stick to a CRM tool like SFDC reporting rather than investing …
Chose Clari
Even if I don’t have some experience with Datahug, this platform doesn’t have an excellent end-user experience as Clari. Also, Clari has simple integration with Sales Apps, mobile application and notifications work very well, and is faster than Datahug. Reports are more …
Chose Clari
Clari is a salesperson's view on their book of business in an easy, yet defined way.
Chose Clari
Clair is additive to other tools like Salesforce or your BI tools. It gives great visibility at each level. We know throughout the quarter where we are likely to fall. When we have shortfalls we know where those are coming from. This helps us drive the right actions to close …
Chose Clari
The only other tool that we use that is close to the Clari offering is SFDC. The nice thing about Clari is how easy and quick it is to make changes to your forecast without having to go through all of the required steps in SFDC. The mobile app is also extremely useful and …
Chose Clari
Haven't used anything like Clari in the past, this is a game changer. SFDC does a great job of showing you your forecast but lacks the insights that Clari provides.
Chose Clari
The only other funnel management we have is SalesForce itself. We've made some adjustments within our own SalesForce platform, but Clari is significantly easier to navigate for funnel management than deals individually within SFDC.
Chose Clari
Not familiar with other products in the quote to close space. I have not used others, as Clari has been our first and we have been very pleased with it, so I have had no need to evaluate other competitors to it.
Chose Clari
Clari is MUCH better for reps to use/consume than the other products we've attempted. While the other tools we've used have been a bit better from a Sales Ops perspective, if they don't get used by the sales team, they are not nearly as powerful. Adoption of the tool really …
Chose Clari
Clari was able to start generating advanced analytics within 3-4 hours after connecting to our Salesforce data and immediately in opportunity data. With Birst, there was some implementation needed, IT setup and configuration and some additional training for admins and advance …
Chose Clari
Clari is the only forecasting tool we looked at.
Chose Clari
Clari's UI was easy for our sales team and customer success team to use and to adapt and utilise effectively. The Pipeline Management of Clari provides real-time insights into our sales pipeline, enabling us to track progress in real time and make correct decisions.
We selected …
Chose Clari
The only other forecasting tool I've used is Salesforce, and Clari comes out on top without a doubt. It's way more user friendly and I love the user interface.
Chose Clari
Clari is the most user-friendly platform in my opinion, and I've had the best customer service experience with my support team. Clari has continued to prove its ROI after each sub-platform we've implemented, and has built trust and adoption from the AEs to C-Level mgmt.
Metabase
Chose Metabase
It does not stack up against Metabase, they complete each other.
Chose Metabase
I used Looker in a previous role and found it clunky, difficult to navigate, hard to collaborate on, and ultimately massively expensive. I evaluated Looker to see if it would be right to implement it as a solution in my current role, but Metabase was the clear winner - the ease …
Chose Metabase
I thought Metabase was the easiest option that allowed for flexibility. However, I did need dedicated engineering resources to get the system configured and basic queries started

User Testimonials
ClariMetabase
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well-suited for sales and customer service processes where the intent is both to sell the product and give customer or technical service post-sale. It is best to search for calls with different phrases. However, as far as I am concerned, it is less suitable for processes that are not defined. Like sales inbound, where we may not know the conversation direction.

Getting data using query with multiple joins is very fast with Metabase, and role-based access to the reports can be provided to users. The only place it lags right now is the filter for page and page size. This comes with great support for container-based deployment and on-system deployment, too. I did both container and system direct installation, and direct deployment became a bit challenging. On the other hand, it really provides very good support for data representation.

Cons
  • When there is maintenance done in the backend our total numbers disappear so would be great to not impact production environment when doing improvements on the backend
  • I think Clari can train more the champions at customer to drive utilisation rates in your customers

I will renew my Clari Subscription for many reasons. 1. Streamlines Sales - Clari automates many manual tasks like note-taking and transcripts. This frees my sales team so they can focus on closing deals. 2. Increased customer retention - Clari helps me identify potential churn risks and take proactive measures. 3. AI-Driven Insights

Usability
Clari is very good when it comes to usability as I'm accessing it on daily basis as long as I'm on my Notebook, it helps a lot having visibility on my business status and progress on achievement. I can estimate my weekly, monthly, and yearly opportunities closure and revenue. I have some saved views which are so useful to get what I want to see.

The tool serves as the purpose of what we were looking for. I am giving us eight because it is cumbersome and needs separate deployment on production; otherwise, it creates memory issues for small servers. Apart from this, this is an excellent tool, providing data features some analysts want. Its backend is heavy, but it works pretty smoothly on front-end users.

Support Rating
Clari is very willing to jump in and build out use cases. They will work to do anything for you. That said, their follow up is not great. We have had to reach out for follow up several times on a project, which is still not complete. I wish they taught us how to complete what we want, rather than doing it in house for us

Gainsight was clunky. We had a dashboard for CS renewals but it was difficult to update. If you typed something and didn't save, and you started updating another opportunity's notes, your previous notes would not save. With Clari it auto saves
