Considered Both Products
Hoopla
Chose Hoopla
The demo process was not good so we decided to go with Hoopla.
Chose Hoopla
Hoopla has been a great product to have access to in the office. They are always updating their software to stay with the times and keep things fresh. Most products are pretty comparable but I really enjoy the interface and layout of Hoopla. Overall Hoopla has continued to stay …
Chose Hoopla
Hoopla is better suited for larger organizations in order to gamify the sales portion of an organization. LevelEleven is better suited for smaller organizations in order to gamify the sales portion of an organization. They are both good programs all around and are both helpful …
Chose Hoopla
I was not a part of the purchasing decision
Chose Hoopla
They were both comparable based on the tool and results on how we wanted to Broadcast sales metrics and KPI’s across the entire sales organization. Hoopla just seemed to be much easier to use with fewer bells and whistles. We felt based on the pricing structure and how we …
Chose Hoopla
InsideSales has a tool called PowerStandings that does similar functionality but is nowhere near as good, interactive or fun as Hoopla. We switched from that product because the reps didn't like it or find it useful.
Chose Hoopla
I inherited the Hoopla contract and I am committed to its success. When I see other providers solutions (I forgot a few names) I do like the business aspect a bit more than the "all sports" theme that Hoopla uses. However it does not fail to engage so I will continue to …
Chose Hoopla
Simply the best! Easy to set up, great support team, straight forward and cost efficient!
Picnic
Chose Picnic
Picnic Hub is a much better platform than Zeta. Picnic [Hub] has [a] better user interface and personalization.

Hoopla is a valuable ally to improve the team's performance. [I]t is a great help for those teams that have defined and [created] clear automated metrics. However, if you are in a team where the metrics are manually evaluated, it can be hard to get excited about the progress, since it will take longer to refresh.

Cons
  • I wish it ran in a browser and not as a full Chrome app, would have made setup easier.
  • It was nice to have default images out of the box, more would have been nice.
  • For smaller companies, it can get pricy, quick. We 100% see the ROI to be clear.

Usability
I gave it a 9 because it really is an extremely easy service to use. I would comfortably say that a brand use user could be set up and using it within just a few minutes. Hoopla has been very great about making any new update very user friendly and easy to use and figure out

I have really enjoyed my relationship with our client success manger, Annette. She is always willing to hop on a call for a quick question and is very responsive. She has taken the time to walk me through how to upload new reports, set up new metrics and leaderboards, while also being helpful in setting up a new channel to broadcast

I inherited the Hoopla contract and I am committed to its success. When I see other providers solutions (I forgot a few names) I do like the business aspect a bit more than the "all sports" theme that Hoopla uses. However it does not fail to engage so I will continue to maximize our investment and evaluate in a couple years when the contract comes up. Nothing is or would entice me to make the change early

Return on Investment
  • We hear music and folks cheer when a "Breaking News" announcement occurs. The community level engagement can not be quanitified
  • The contest environments have helped to lead sellers to stay an extra 30 minutes and make 10 more calls just to pass someone up. We see our call volume increased because of it.
  • We measure the trails of our solution that our sellers create from leads. We can see an active pursuit of those conversions to be at the top of the leaderboard. More trails, lead to more opportunities, that lead to more sales.
