Considered Both Products
Highspot
Chose Highspot
I think Drive is a lot more intuitive, but it’s hard to know what is allowed to be public or private in Drive. Additionally, Drive doesn’t have the best way to send content, whereas Highspot offers a better solution for that.
Chose Highspot
Sharepoint has been difficult to search (not a very powerful user interface or search filtering functionality). Brainshark didn't provide everything we wanted.
Chose Highspot
Showpad is very similar to Highspot, but we found Highspot more user-friendly and [has] a better interface, so I have not actually used Showpad.

As for SharePoint, we still use this for other reasons at our company, but we used to share files with our sales team, and it is …
Chose Highspot
We use Highspot in conjunction with our other programs and it works great. We are able to use the features and functions from each to help us with our daily outreach and have an idea of what is working and what isn't.
Chose Highspot
Highspot has a more elegant way of displaying the assets, whereas Google just organizes everything by folders.
Chose Highspot
We did not review other vendors. We used Google Drive to store and maintain marketing materials before Highspot, and that was not efficient.
Chose Highspot
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 …
Chose Highspot
We previously used Google Drive for all of these resources, so Highspot was a considerable upgrade.
Chose Highspot
We don't need extensive screen share capabilities, and Highspot is a great value for the cost. Ease of sharing department-wide materials was a huge plus for us, as well as the ease of use with adding new content.
Chose Highspot
They're pretty similar from a content management perspective, but Showpad has a lot more to offer outside of that. Highspot's searching algorithm seems better.
Chose Highspot
I have never used a tool/platform similar to Highspot.
Chose Highspot
We used Showpad for the last few years, however, since switching to Highspot our team has actually seen more success and collaboration. Our sales enablement directors are able to leverage better marketing materials for our sales and BDR agents leading to higher conversions from …
Chose Highspot
Highspot is great for metrics and for tracking interactions. It is very user-friendly and really easy to start engaging. The possibility of tracking both employees and prospects/clients is one of the best features. It is easy to implement and everyone can see how they are …
Chose Highspot
Highspot is so much more versatile than Google Drive. Its feels more secure and easier to organize content. It is also much more Sales Focuses and allows for collaboration and features to share content clients with tracking.
Chose Highspot
Although I was not privy to the selection process, our product marketing manager was extremely heavy in selecting the right tool for our Sales team and collaborated with us to figure out exactly which features we needed, and what we didn't. Highspot checked all the boxes and …
Chose Highspot
We felt like Highspot had a better user interface and was easier to navigate. We like DocSend and it works much like Highspot. At the time it was a more expensive solution that had essentially the same features.
Chose Highspot
Dropbox was sufficient for storing content in an easy to access space but, provided us no value beyond that. SharePoint actually made us less productive due to the amount of time our sales team had to spend searching for the right piece of content. Neither solution provided …
Modus
Chose Modus
App Data Room was the only product that we evaluated prior to implementation. Prior to implementation of App Data Room, our Marketing Department was working with a third-party vendor to create documents. Our reps were limited to being able to provide hard copy materials and …
Chose Modus
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. We did not have a CMS previously so real-time updates were unheard of. App Data Room has all of the features we previously had plus so much more.

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.

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.

  • 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.

Cons
  • 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.

  • I wish the App UI was the same across all platforms. The app looks different on Windows than iOS.

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

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.

Usability
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Return on Investment
  • 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

  • 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.
