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 …
Pipeliner CRM
Chose Pipeliner CRM
The most important reason for selecting pipeliner CRM:-exceptional user engagement through its sales-friendly interface. With its uniform navigation and visual approach, users can learn the system quickly. Users can easily customize what they see to make the system their own. …

Conversely from competitors listed below, Pipeliner CRM does not need expensive certification for its administration daily basis. It is very intuitive and easy to use. Pipeliner CRM has a friendly interface with drag-and-drop functions. this software is designed to deliver …
Chose Pipeliner CRM
As mentioned before, way easier to adopt too.
Customization was easy to get a hang of, the training was superb, and allows anyone to quickly and easily get running with it.
Chose Pipeliner CRM
Another CRM like Creatio is not very user-friendly. With a lot of complications, it might take a long time for a new user to master it, but Pipeliner CRM is easier to use and easier to master within a short period of time, which makes it more efficient and effective than any …
Chose Pipeliner CRM
I will always select Pipeliner CRM because it is very flexible, easy to work with, data capturing is at its best, its integration to other major software’s and it aids in the monitoring of the core work process. One distinctive feature is it is very easy to learn without …
Chose Pipeliner CRM
Sales friendly interface with uniform navigation
Chose Pipeliner CRM
Pipeliner is easy to set up and it does not take time to get working other than the other CRM's that take up to 2 months before you can use it. Also pipeliner is easy to use and it is less costly unlike the other CRM's with high prices they charge.
Chose Pipeliner CRM
We wanted a pure cloud-based solution with a reliable mobile app. This was a key driving force: reducing issues around upgrade and IT maintenance of servers etc. It was the first cloud-based solution welcomed by the team with an attractive interface that was common to both …
Chose Pipeliner CRM
Easy to integrate, comprehensive navigation, and well-understanding sales process.
Chose Pipeliner CRM
It is better than Pipedrive since its features are more advanced than Pipedrive. Pipeliner has a better mobile app and its features are great to use.
Chose Pipeliner CRM
Pipeliner CRM has robust data entry functionality which is a panacea to exquisite output. On Pipeliner, customization and data viewing options are possible. We can choose the way we view data and information on the platform. Reporting is also easier and flexible because we can …
Chose Pipeliner CRM
Pipeliner's visual user interface is a favorite of our sales team. I love the LinkedIn integration. It makes searching and linking in with prospects and customers easy. I also really enjoy how it pulls the pictures. This is especially handy when meeting with someone that you've …

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.

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

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.

I gave that rating level because it reflects both my satisfaction and expectations about PipelinerCRM.Plus, the adoption rate of this software. I mean the usability rate is very low. It just takes, for learning, a couple of hours less than three days roughly. Return on time investment is low also.

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 support from Pipeliner CRM is superb; they have instant customer support and they are on time. They also give enough knowledge of sales and other material for the knowledge. They also have AI in the support by talking with customer support directly from the web or app and so on.

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

  • As a VisualCRM tool, our clients sales teams seem to accelerate their deal closes.
  • The visual tools allow those "no good deals" to be spotted and resource usage limited.
  • A great tool to manage those "pipelines" within the company. A pipe is really a series of actions that constitute a planned result.
