Considered Both Products	ClearSlide Verified User Anonymous Chose ClearSlide They all have different use cases. Go To Meeting and Go To Webinar are the best for large groups, but has its limitations.

JP Josh Peterson Client Partner Chose ClearSlide ClearSlide is amazing for the ease of sharing decks across the org and the ability to pull slides from other users decks to integrate into your own. The tracking features are a gamechanger to provide insight to when and how many times a client has viewed material. I do … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose ClearSlide It is easier to see the full spate of files with Clearslide vs. Dropbox, and each slide shows individually in Clearslide vs. other products that just provide a file in name only.

Alex Brielmann Director Sales Operations Chose ClearSlide ClearSlide was far and away, the best choice for our organization.

Groove is good for clicks but ClearSlide is better to determine if your content is useful and relevant to the client. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Carlage Director of Sales Chose ClearSlide ClearSlide was far and away the best in terms of analytics that it provided. We really wanted to see where we were losing prospects. It is also easy to use, and easy to share screen. The issue with us became that we could not allow prospects to use browsers other than Google … Incentivized Helpful?

Incentivized Helpful? Cassidy Ebert Client Services Manager Chose ClearSlide ClearSlide gives the most data of all of the products I have used. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose ClearSlide I like Salesloft and Yesware's ability to alert me when an email is opened, however, they can't say how long someone looks at any attachments. This gives ClearSlide the step up in that category. Salesloft also has very shoddy reporting and can't differentiate between an open … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose ClearSlide SalesLoft better. They have more cadences set up and the information received after emails sent is more in-depth and more accurate. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Isenga Director, K-12 Education Chose ClearSlide If you are looking for a true sales enablement platform that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales staff, curates content based on a seller's deal stage, and provides actionable analytics and intelligence, then I would go with Seismic/SAVO.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	ClearSlide is quite easy to use and effective when presenting information and sharing screen. It's also easy for the prospect to access your site; they just click on a link. If an inside sales manager was looking to find out where his/her team might be losing prospects, Clearslide would be a great choice because the analytics show exactly how engaged a prospect is and at what point they start to lose interest. There is a monthly cost/annual contract involved to Clearslide, so for a startup that is very cost-conscious it might be best to investigate free conference/screenshare options, but the case could be made that the analytics will earn back the fee. Incentivized Jason Carlage Director of Sales Read full review	ADR is a great interactive tool for B2B businesses that sales deals one-on-one with the customer. I don't think it would be well suited for B2C businesses because of the need and cost for individual licenses per user. I would highly recommend this tool to B2B companies that practice traditional sales with a technological edge. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Email Functionality - Creation of general templates to be constantly used as well as allowing the team to gain insight as to who is opening and viewing the material. That makes the follow up much easier to have. Presentations - Very easy to provide customers with a source link of where to view our presentation and also very easy to provide them with the ability to show their screen if needed. The fact that we can have several people on the presentation is helpful as well. Salesforce Integration - Very important in our organization as we like to have any and all activity pertaining to customers housed in our CRM. Incentivized David Cortez Sr. Manager of Operations/Salesforce Coordinator Read full review	Content Mangement System - Our Marcom department is able to maintain and update the app in real-time and push updates directly to our team without going to an outside vendor. The CMS has a great UI/UX and is easy to use and maintain. What's New Feature - Our sales team can easily see every time we make additions or updates. 3D capabilities - the ability to use animation image sequences on the app really impresses our customers. Support - ADR provides great support. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	I don't love the conference line. The recording message at the beginning is particularly annoying. I also wish it were easier to share multiple links quicker. It's somewhat of a cumbersome process. It can occasionally be challenging to find the right materials to share at the moment quick enough. Incentivized J. Carter Saunders Director, Corporate Read full review	I wish the App UI was the same across all platforms. The app looks different on Windows than iOS. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	This has become a vital tool for our sales process and as we grow as an organization, the ability to deliver content efficiently and effectively will become a key performance indicator in measuring our business goals for the coming fiscal year. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	App Data Room has been instrumental in allowing our sale representatives to present up-to-date and innovative marketing collateral to potential customers. A second value add is that our Marketing Department is able to create and upload the most current material to the app so that our sales representatives have access to the most up-to-date information to present to our customers. Incentivized Stan Pflueger Director of Sales Operations Read full review
Usability	Its easy to use from a presenter's perspective. Its web based so anyone who can navigate Facebook can open a live pitch or shared file. This makes it easy to give live demos, share files, and share screens with out downloading any software or installing java patches Incentivized Matt Judice Onboarding Account Coordinator Read full review	Overall, the App Data Room product is easy to use. Our Marketing Department is able to quickly upload updated and new material once they create the documents. Users are able to quickly find material filed by subject matter. Once the appropriate material is located, it can be presented on their iPad and emailed to prospective customers who indicate interest in the products.

Support Rating	I was mostly involved in the implementation process and syncing ClearSlide with Salesforce, and I would say the support was mostly average. It took a few times to get everything scheduled, and a lot of the process was left up to me. I was reading through the documents that they supplied. It wasn't complicated, but more direct support would have been appreciated. Incentivized Alex Brielmann Director Sales Operations Read full review	The few support requests that we have submitted have been resolved within 2 business days. The App Data Room staff has also been responsive to suggestions from our staff to upgrade the product - specifically in the area of analytics.

Implementation Rating	Web based so easy for them to configure account Douglas Jensen Regional VP Sales Read full review	No, key insights. Implementation was easy. The App Data Room staff hosted initial training sessions for our support personnel, and then these support persons conducted training and support sessions for our users.

Alternatives Considered	It is easier to see the full spate of files with Clearslide vs. Dropbox, and each slide shows individually in Clearslide vs. other products that just provide a file in name only. In addition, Clearslide provides direct intel on how customers view and interact with the content you send them, which other products don't provide. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We've used custom developed tools in the past but the upfront cost is very high and the solution we had was very costly to update.

Scalability	This product ROCKS!!!! ClearSlide shortened my sales cycle by over 50% by enabling to jump right into a LIVE demo on an initial client call so I don't have to waste time scheduling a demo at later date. People are busy and finding a time to schedule a call can take days or weeks Kyle McDonald Director of Sales & Marketing Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Reduced the amount of time that our sales staff have to spend searching for content or collateral. Everything is available in one area and can be surfaced as long as you know the keywords of the collateral you would like. CS doubles as a conference line and online presentation platform, which is incredibly helpful. Rather than having to use multiple systems or launch an application that requires a plugin, CS launches right from my browser. Prospects that are viewing our presentations have the same ease of use with CS as well. The integrations with Outlook, Gmail, and web browsers are a dual-edged sword sometimes. They do make it easier to link documents to emails, but they also tend to crash or cause issues with other software. I would say that overall the savings in terms of efficiency are greater than what has been caused by glitches, but not by much. The tracking details on collateral sent to prospects are incredibly insightful and help us improve our future communication strategy. This has made us smarter about our future engagements by providing targeted information that the client cares about. Incentivized Scott Isenga Director, K-12 Education Read full review	I don't have any hard numbers. But all I get are good reviews and compliments from our sales team and customers who interact with ADR. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
