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.

We prefer Oracle BI because it continues to support and is more user-friendly.

Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Very easy to use and understanding the technology could work well for your organization. Sometimes the majority of the business unit's key stakeholders don't utilize the data for the needs of the business.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
BI Discoverer is simpler and lighter. It offers a much lighter option for data access when compared to most other business intelligence tools. However, the features on BI Discoverer are limited and cannot solve deeper analytics requirements. For such use cases, it might be …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Oracle BID was a better alternative than AER for our department. Since we are an Oracle-heavy department, using Oracle software for all tasks, from data storage to reporting was the way to go. BID has proven to be a cheaper, more efficient alternative to AER. It has served its …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Power BI is mostly for visualization and dashboards whereas Discoverer is for lifting heavy reports outputs. Oracle Apex can be used for building reports but not very complex ones. Pivot functionality in apex reports is not all good when it involves multiple nested groupings …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Regarding to Power BI and Business Intelligence Discovery I think the principal difference is Business Intelligence Discovery allow discoverer data from web services and there are a lot of tools for only one purpose, manage data! Regarding to SAP BusinessObjects and Business …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Both produce the same end results for creating reports used by higher management for decision making. The way they are designed and featured, the process is what makes them different.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Microsoft Power BI and Tableau Desktop
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
We selected this tool because it is easy to create an end-user layer which is the repository in the database. The data that is being used is from the datamart which we have built on a daily basis. This tool was selected because it is a web-based and available 24/7.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
They offer completely different functions. OBIEE is better for detailed data and Tableau is for visualization and summary of data.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
We have used several products over the years, including Sisense and Tableau. They both stack up well against Business Intelligence Discoverer, however, the costs for us are what split them apart. Feature-wise, there isn't much to separate the products.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Discoverer is more of a departmental BI tool. OBIEE is much more expensive compared to Discoverer. OBIEE needs an ETL and Reporting team to develop reports. OBIEE involves complex modelling of RPD whereas it is much simpler with Discoverer. With Discoverer, it is as simple as …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
I did not select Discoverer.....however, I do prefer it to the other tools that I have used for report creation. I do like the mix of GUI and SQL direct code avail. I have mostly used the desktop version, but migrating over to the web based version and starting to build reports …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Tibco Spotfire or SaaS BI are much more flexible and comprehensive, being compared with Business Intelligence Discoverer, they support many ways of scripting and has rich data visualization options, and furthermore, they can be linked with recent popular ML/DL frameworks.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Before our team grew to incorporate more database savvy members, Discoverer was an easy and efficient tool for reporting and analyzing data. As our team added more database members, though, we quickly outgrew the need for a simpler program and expanded into one where we could …
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Both Tableau and Argos are newer products and have much improved features. Argos in operation is closer to how Discoverer is. Tableau is a top rated analytics product.
Chose Oracle Discoverer (discontinued)
Discoverer was already in place when I joined the company so I was not involved in the selection process. However, I have been involved in the review of Discoverer as compared to alternatives including Business Objects, OBIEE, and SSRS. On a cost benefit analysis Discoverer …

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.

Discoverer is definitely well suited for a company that is working with a lot of data but does not have a large database knowledgeable team. It allows for basic database management while permitting users to access the data in a simple and efficient way. Reporting is easy to do and, again, does not require a lot of database know-how. If you are looking for more in-depth customization and multiple data sources from various vendors, though, you may want to look into a more robust platform.

  • It would be useful if users could be allowed to write subqueries.
  • It would be helpful if there was a way for users to download the reports on their PC.

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

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

Discoverer is more of a departmental BI tool. OBIEE is much more expensive compared to Discoverer. OBIEE needs an ETL and Reporting team to develop reports. OBIEE involves complex modelling of RPD whereas it is much simpler with Discoverer. With Discoverer, it is as simple as importing database tables, defining joins and running the queries. Discoverer stacks very well on top of ERP systems directly. Users can run reports on ERP tables using Discoverer. To perform similar jobs through OBIEE, one has to either use Noetix or another transactional model.
