Incentivized

• Eufora templates
• Marketing campaign to select from to build a whole years program
• A person to come into business to train employees

• The UI is a bit outdated and the system is somewhat lacking flexibility overall
• The reporting functionalities are very limited - it's great to gather data but a 3rd party solution is needed to get some meaning out of it
• Pricing. Veeva are big and therefore not that flexible. This does not make them the most small/midsize customer friendly

We are constantly being contacted by comparable organizations. If Mindbody Online integrated a feature like Demandforce, we'd move over there to keep everything in one platform.

I do not have any alternative products to compare this service too. It was in place when I came aboard this company and I have no say in its continuation or replacement. As from what I can gather, there are many alternatives to this platform, but Demandforce is the only one I am aware of that runs in your system tray and is passively ran in conjunction with your accounting database.

As Veeva CRM is built on Salesforce' platform, both solutions have rather similar look, feel and offered set of functionalities. Veeva CRM is geared up specifically for the pharmaceutical industry - to my understanding, there is an agreement between the companies, preventing Salesforce.com from stepping into the pharma market. So if you are familiar with the Salesforce.com experience - from the solution to their implementation, training and support approaches - you can expect similar from Veeva (CRM).
