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 …
Showpad eOS®
Chose Showpad eOS®
The only option our company used was cloud-based file-sharing services (Box, Dropbox, etc) and emails like Outlook or Gmail. Both options make it hard for version control and for ease of navigation. Generally, end-users had an easier time finding content on Showpad.
Chose Showpad eOS®
Showpad Content is professionally dedicated software for sales business with better presentation features and completing Crm software features. That's why it's recommended for complementary software for better sales management even in front of the customer.
Chose Showpad eOS®
Honestly, I have yet to see another service similar to Showpad. You might have email trackers that tell you when your clients opened up an email or which links from your email were clicked. Showpad has it all, in addition to having a hub of resources where you can easily share …
Chose Showpad eOS®
This is the first sales enablement tool that I've used. Prior to this, the company I worked at used Google Drive to manage content and it was very tedious.
Chose Showpad eOS®
Showpad Content provides more features than other file sharing tools like Dropbox, Box.com, and Google Drive since it allows you to see who has viewed your content and how long they spent viewing it. This information can impact the approach used during a sales cycle to help …
Chose Showpad eOS®
Showpad allows users to understand the engagement between content and recipients. Provides a tool to understand how to engage/ tailor the next conversation.
Chose Showpad eOS®
I was mainly using Cornerstone for training and onboarding and now we use Showpad for the training part as well. I honestly don't see much difference besides the fact that Showpad is better as a library than to do training. Cornerstone was good enough but my company …
Chose Showpad eOS®
We originally changed from ClearSlide because I felt we had too many crashes during demos, and it was very slow. Also, the audio quality was poor.
Chose Showpad eOS®
ClearSlide offers a similar solution to Showpad. We found that Showpad had better reporting capabilities and the UI to be easier to use.

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.

Showpad Content works well to provide a central hub for all document hosting. The interface is simple and easy enough to use. Our sales team likes that you are able to see when a user has opened your file once it has been shared with them and how long they spent viewing it.

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.

  • Not truly a limitation, but I would love it if I could customize the design a bit further within the shared spaces that I create.
  • Loading large resources sometimes takes a few seconds - not particularly long and not an issue, but it is not instantaneous in some cases.

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.

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.

I have not been involved with support from Showpad so I am not entirely sure. However, we have received some emails from our help desk about an outage and it seems like it didn't last very long so I would say that it was pretty effective support to that extent.
