Chose Consensus
Use them side by side and do not need to choose
Chose Consensus
We did not find a similar solution that could provide the prospect experience Consensus provides. We did not seriously evaluate any other platform like we did with Consensus.

Consensus allows your prospects to select their interests and only show them the relevant parts of …
Chose Consensus
Consensus has the most personalized approach out of all the solutions I have used and I love the data driven approach to ensure that the person viewing the video is being watched and understood to help equip the salesperson tools to ensure a successful outreach. A lot of …
Chose Consensus
Consensus has less video editing power.
Chose Consensus
Consensus was much more robust in what they offered compared to other products. We have been using them for years with no plans on changing because of the time and effort saved by being able to send out videos that showcase different parts of our software and the full suite …
Chose Consensus
I have not ever used a competitor to Consensus so I can not answer this question.
Chose Consensus
We evaluated Consensus vs Highspot 2 years ago, and although we still have Highspot, we use Consensus around 90% time vs 10% Highspot. Highspot is suitable for sending analyst's reports and product and industry whitepapers; Consensus is far superior with pre-recorded demos and …
Chose Consensus
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.
Chose Consensus
Videos had been recorded using platforms previously but the distribution of these videos was often uncontrolled and untraceable.

Consensus provides a platform where we can control, distribute and track shared content. It also allows us to build up stakeholder maps based on …
Chose Consensus
As a user, I was not involved in the selection process - but I am very glad we use this system!!
Chose Consensus
I have previously used the Smart Links feature in Sales Navigator for LinkedIn.

This was quite similar to Consensus but it feels more like a 'junior' version.
Seismic Content
Chose Seismic Content
Highspot was used at a different organization and seems to me to be superior in user interface, tracking metrics, and efficiency. Seismic was purchased for our current organization with no solution previously in place. In my experience, Seismic lacks features for guiding and …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to high spot but it a bit more user friendly and intuitive. Guru would be great for a small company who just needs to organize assets. But Seismic is the best option if you also utilize their ai capabilities which heavily impacts search in a positive way
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is the go to platform for content creation, sharing, and collaboration between customers and colleagues. It's saves you time having to look for information when it's a tool with everything in one unified place. We don't have to ask anyone else for slides, brochures, …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is much more high level compared to the free tools as far as features. Competitors likely just house files whereas Seismic does this along with a lot more. In my opinion, also has a cleaner layout.
Chose Seismic Content
Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content …
Chose Seismic Content
Personally I think Seismic is more built for Sales enablement whereas Brainshark is a good education/knowledge development platform.
Chose Seismic Content
I haven't used similar tools.
Chose Seismic Content
The ease of use with Seismic versus Confluence is night and day! Confluence is not a very user-friendly program and what you can find is basically by luck. In Seismic it is accessible to everyone that has the permission to view whatever it is they are trying to view or follow …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to most content management systems and integrates less easily than the Salesforce CMS (not surprising), but it is more powerful than Salesforce CMS and Highspot. Highspot is less refined and less user-friendly than Seismic but I feel it also has more …
Chose Seismic Content
I am still learning how to maximize the potential using Seismic, so I'm getting more and more savvy with its potential.
Chose Seismic Content
I honestly, personally, haven't looked into other options very much besides Google Drive. I think for this purpose, Seismic does a better job because it holds everything we need without having to share files or give people access. It is just a site where we all have a log-in …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic offers a more personalized user experience, with more analytics, a cleaner interface, and more responsive customer support.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is designed for salespeople - whereas Adobe Experience Manager (Assets and Sites) were both designed for Marketing teams to use. I think Seismic is more valuable for customer interactions than Adobe Experience Manager because it allows you to measure the amount of time …
Chose Seismic Content
We used to use Callidus Cloud, but honestly nobody was utilizing the platform, nor were we using it to the most potential. Seismic allowed for us to customize and have partner licenses.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic has a robust amount of features, LiveSend is fantastic, and the analytics for our sales and marketing team to make better informed decisions.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic and Hubspot were the top two finalists and ultimately we chose Seismic because its integration with Dynamics CRM was already ready to go. Hubspot was working on their integration but we knew from experience how difficult working with Microsoft could be, so we went with …
Chose Seismic Content
We selected Seismic because of cost, capabilities and support.
Chose Seismic Content
Prior to Seismic, we used SAVO. SAVO's user interface wasn't as visually pleasing as Seismic's, but we found it much easier to edit/update our master content within SAVO.
Chose Seismic Content
The user experience was better.
Chose Seismic Content
We're only using LiveDocs in Seismic and it's way better than Highspot's 3rd party solution.
Chose Seismic Content
The only other sales enablement tool that I've used personally was SAVO, which was acquired by Seismic.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to Showpad and Highspot and I'm sure they are great products too. What we were really impressed by was their ability to speak to our requirements and helped us build a strong business case for implementing this platform. We felt confident moving forward …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is our first sales enablement tool and we didn't really research others. They hit the ball out of the park with their initial presentation and we didn't look back.

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

It is excellent for a cloud-based workspace between you and your customers. I find the chat feature to be a cool and underutilized tool. I appreciate how you can consolidate all your information on one page, rather than having multiple attachments. Easy to clone DSRs (Digital Sales Rooms), which saves a significant amount of time. Especially when all you have to do is make minor changes between customers.

Pros
  • 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'

  • Seismic allows for one location to store all relevant content so that associates are not having to spend as much time searching for what they need.

Cons
  • 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)

  • There have been a few times where issues with a server leads to a slow user experience or users are unable to use the platform for a small period of time. Bringing these to a minimum would greatly enhance the user experience.

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

Usability
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

Seismic is super easy to use and has so many different features and functionality to take advantage of. But being a company who utilizes Google platform a lot we have some issues with the api connections and integrations across the board. But all in all it is not a huge issue, I would just like to see them improve the integration more

I have never tried chatting/calling with Support for Seismic. However, from others that I have talked to that use Seismic in more of an administrative role, they have been easy to work with and are of great assistance. I think it's a good thing I've never needed to talk to support, as it means I haven't had any issues to this point.

Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content the way I wanted to. Highspot tended to feel cluttered and even overwhelming at times. Along with that, the AI and saved search feature ran smoother in Seismic. I could easily find the document or sales deck I was looking for, whereas in Highspot I felt I had to look around longer than I would have liked.

  • Consensus saved me time from doing additional live demos.
