Consensus vs. Highspot

I would greatly recommend Consensus to a colleague or organization that has a sales team and focuses a lot of time on hosting demos. This would bring a seamless experience to that team and open up the doors to utilize resources in areas that bring in more revenue. Thanks again

Great for delivering insight on which personas are engaging with the material shared. If I've had multiple meetings with personas, but they have not engaged with my proposal, I'm now able to understand the priority of our partnership and how it ranks within their other initiatives.

• The ability to tailor demos and demoboards to show various functionality of the product.
• We appreciate the features Consensus has to customize demos in various forms.
• The customer service and post-sales trainings the Consensus team has held for our company have been extremely beneficial. I personally appreciated learning how demos are better received when they're not 'perfect'

• Outlook Plug-In is very easy to use and allows users to easily access Highspot content
• Highspot provides instant feedback when an email is opened and data about the length of time the reader spent in the document.
• Overall ease of use. Highspot is very easy to use and navigation is very intuitive.

• The front-end UX could be improved to look and feel more like a mature SaaS solution
• There's a limited amount of help resources to assist throughout the video building process
• I'd like to see more integrations with broader SaaS solutions to unlock more use cases (i.e. Engaging in group formats, long-form webinars, etc)

• The search function can cause some issues if the platform is not set up correctly.
• It can be hard to build pitches - I wish it was a little easier to maneuver
• It seems like the tracking does not always work for pitch views.

Consensus has been a valuable and vital sales tool at every stage of our sales cycle. In the very early stages of prospect education, you can send videos to get them familiar and up to speed with our product without a solution consultant's involvement. It is also a very powerful tool at the later stages of the sales cycle, with the ability to tailor demos and intro videos and record exec alignment itro videos, which we have had great success with

I love Highspot, it saves me a ton of time every single day. I like how my correspondence looks professional and I know what I'm sending is accurate and company approved. I'm able to add it to an email template in seconds and choose multiple brochures if it fits the information the student wants or requested. I can also customize templates to make them company specific when appropriate

Firstly, the ability to sort, organize, and classify the demo libraries is a real advantage for managing read and write permissions for our users who are in different divisions across various countries. Then, the easy creation of demoboards is a plus, and it has become even better since we can now associate tours with them

I use Highspot every day. It is basically my go-to spot to find anything I need to know about the product, like pricing and internal processes. It also helps me provide value-added emails to my prospects with extreme ease. Without Highspot I would not have the current success that I have right now in sales.

I have not needed any customer support until now, I guess this is because they work on a proactive maintenance of the platform. We have an internal team working with Highspot so if I need help I go to my internal team not directly to Highspot. I have never heard any complaints.

None. Consensus has been my first exposure to long-form demo/content delivered besides using zoom to record a demo and then sharing a link with my prospect. Consensus has changed the game in regards to how I engage with prospects from a product perspective

From an investment perspective, Highspot was very reasonable in price for both the main platform and the LMS. The ease of use and management seemed to be a lot less than some of the others we looked at. If we had a more robust solution, I could see where there could be value in what the others offered, but for what we needed Highspot checked all the boxes.

• I closed 3 deals last year by prospects using Consensus and finding additional modules they wanted to purchase.
• Consensus speed up the buying process in 6 of my deals last year to close in quarter.
• Consensus saved me time from doing additional live demos.

• Highspot has created more efficiency within our Sales team as reps no longer have to "hunt" for up-to-date collateral
• Highspot helps us understand what collateral gets deals in pipeline
• Highspot aids in new employees getting ramped easier and faster with one location to review training content
