ClariSalesforce CRM Analytics
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.
Salesforce CRM Analytics
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
It is better to the integration with all our existing systems, despite of the higher cost if you compare it with the others
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce is having the positive as it has inbuilt other modules where they have their own data but other tools have to get the data from other systems
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau CRM is capable of providing powerful data visualization and analytical insights into your data set. Also, it produces a simple and understandable graphical representation of data. When compared to PowerBI, If you are an enterprise Microsoft user, there may be a clear …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Compare to other solutions Tableau CRM provides more attractive GUI and interactive dashboards. Cost and integration are still a challenge as It cost around $150 per user license cost.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau CRM no doubt has best GUI compare to any other existing BI tools we are currently working on. We are already using Salesforce as a CRM tool for sales/services/marketing and Tableau CRM has easy connectivity and development with Salesforce data. After demo the sample …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Compared to tableau and quicksight, [Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is quite similar and the preference depends on which database you use. Quicksight is more useful if you are using aws service and Salesforce Einstein Analytics is better if you are …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Before this our company have been using lots of other tracking tools but mostly it is very manual when it comes to generating reporting view which is resolved when using Salesforce Einstein Analytics since reporting feature is automated. Tons of time have been saved from …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
[Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is far far better than these alternatives as everything can be done on single platform from data extraction to data transformation. Sharing of data is very easy and secure. One dashboard is suitable for different users …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce needs fully baked data for its architecture and design to give you the best results you deserve. Teams not having used Salesforce previously take some time getting used to EA. But its ability to give the data points for KPIs to the sales team in real time and to the …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
The collaboration feature is second to none, and the way we can assess our business in real-time is really nifty!
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Einstein Analytics is the leader in the CRM industry when it comes to capturing and understanding the relative date. Therefore, many sales leaders and professionals are accustomed to utilizing the tool. Because of this factor, there is a more exceptional …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Tableau is more of a developer tool and for non-technical workers, it is hard to learn. The product is superior to Einstein Analytics, but if the first goal is to get this out to an entire company, then Salesforce is the way to go. For the technical workers, the limitations of …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Have used Tableau before which is my all-time favorite. I would recommend Tableau over any other BI tool. It is widely known, widely used, and easily imported into your business no matter what other software or tools you use.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
The analytics from Salesforce doesn't stack up against competitors. I'd love a one-stop platform, where I could get all of my email automation, CRM, and website KPI data tracking done, but that isn't Salesforce. I really like the website analytics from FullStory, and I like the …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Analytics Cloud was chosen by the higher ups and I had no say in it. And it's really the only analytics tool we use. But from what I have heard from my co-workers, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud is by far the best in its class. But I have not personally used any …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce is the leader and the giant. I did not know so much about analytics before employing in our enterprise, so went with known name. The brand and what it stands for is imperative to me.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Our company chose it while trying to use other analytics software. The team all agree that this is a very good product and that it deserves to be put up against all others. Managers were very happy with the way it helped promote the sales team to better themselves. Highly …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Cloud has a much more robust system compared to Zoho and Hubspot. Hubspot is easier to use but Salesforce can do way more once you learn how to use it. Salesforce can easily scale with your growing company. I found Zoho very complicated to use. They are a growing …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Salesforce Analytics Cloud is easier to integrate with Salesforce since it has a native integration and connection point. It does lack in functionality compared to heavy tools like Tableau and Microstrategy. If you want more functionality and are not currently using Salesforce …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
The reason is that this requires less development and is more of a point and click system that every user will enjoy more.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Well it's backed by a really big name, so that always helps. People are already comfortable using Salesforce, so switching to the analytics software makes it even simpler to excel and really do well. This platform is perfect for the average person. It's very easy to learn. It's …
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Very strong, but again once you’re tied into Salesforce, you’re quite stuck so begin learning how to optimize its use personally very quickly. Otherwise, you’ll be depending on very expensive consultants who don’t always have your best interest in mind.
Chose Salesforce CRM Analytics
Microsoft Dynamics CRM has more modern user interface. However, Salesforce Analytics Cloud is more smooth in terms of functionality and user support.

ClariSalesforce CRM Analytics
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.

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
Read full review
  • Implementation takes time and resources. It is a heavy lift to implement and at first, it can take a little bit of time to understand what you are looking at. But once it's implemented it's easy to get started.
  • Without any BI expertise or resources available to your organization, the implementation of this is difficult. If you aren't used to BI tools and don't have an expert in house, the terminology can be difficult to understand at first.
  • Their support is not on hand to help you if you encounter any issues, at least not on all the plans or the basic plans. Real-time support service is an add-on, so you'll need to be patient if you require help or pay extra money.
  • More functionality for the tool is needed to compete with other heavyweights in the arena like Tableau, Qlik, and Microstrategy. Still lacks the robustness, functionality, and flexibility other competing products possess.

Likelihood to Renew
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.
Read full review
Overall usability is absolutely worth the price. It help me to save tons of time working on raw data in Excel file. It also minimize the discrepancy in data format when there are multiple user inputting the data. Every data inputted in Salesforce is standardized, therefore it is very easy to keep track / generating performance report even though you are having more than 20 projects recorded in Salesforce Einstein Analytics.

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

An implementation partner would certainly result in greater output in a more efficient amount of time. However, I have found implementation partners to be extremely expensive for the output received (at least working for a non-profit company they are frequently unaffordable). Internal implementation does help with usable output though since internal knowledge would better know the data architecture and business processes

Alternatives Considered
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

Compared to Tableau and quicksight, [Salesforce Einstein Analytics (formerly Wave Analytics)] is quite similar and the preference depends on which database you use. Quicksight is more useful if you are using aws service and Salesforce Einstein Analytics is better if you are planning to use the data in salesforce. Also, that is under the assumption no further transformation is needed.
