MindTickle
Chose MindTickle
When compared to Highspot, I found Mindtickle to be much easier to navigate. The UI is way cleaner and intuitve. The capabilties are relatviely the same. Overall I certaily prefer Mindtickle. The one thing I will give to Highspot is that their analytic capabilities (especially …
Chose MindTickle
Mindtickle is superior to Saleshood as Mindtickle has intelligence and makes prescriptive recommendations. Saleshood is only a content management system.
Chose MindTickle
MindTickle has enlightened our minds and thinking point of view, now I collaborate with top sales personalities via this platform and arranging the coaching sessions for my team this tool has helped me to up bring my sales effectively approach as numerous business to business …
Chose MindTickle
I have not used anything like MindTickle. If anything, we used old training videos by Joe Verde or Grant Cardone. I disliked watching a guy lecture me through a screen.
Chose MindTickle
Overall, I have not used other software like MindtTckle, but I believe that my company chose them because they are effective in what they do. The software is extremely user-friendly, and provides an experience that is useful and productive. I would recommend this to anyone or …
Chose MindTickle
MindTickle is definitely more interactive to the individual user, but this train is a bit different in the style of which learning was conducted. Staples, for instance, is a larger company with the resources for learning and development. The teaching style for Staples was more …
Chose MindTickle
I haven’t explored the above-listed products, but the kind of advantage on user experience and diversified solutions on one platform made the decision easier to choose among platforms. On the whole, MindTickle gives you value for money. None of our users have faced any major …
Chose MindTickle
We moved to MindTickle from this tool. Apart from this, I am not much aware of the difference in both tools. Haven't worked on the formerly used tool.
Chose MindTickle
The only thing I've used like MindTickle has been Canvas from Instructure. I used this in college as my learning platform, and I think that Canvas has a better overall design and functionality. However, in a corporate setting, MindTickle makes sense. Going back to my earlier …
Chose MindTickle
MT lets us customize our material, content, and delivery. Some of the others are for areas of content where we are not experts. And we use them to fill the gaps.
Chose MindTickle
MindTickle is definitely a better tool. It was simpler to implement and better liked amongst employees versus competitors.
Chose MindTickle
I used SalesHood at a previous organization. We had personalized trainings from the CEO. The platform was easy-to-use, and great for housing trainings for later review. MindTickle seems to have some more integrations, but the format is simple and it is a bit clunky to use. …
Chose MindTickle
Mindtickle does everything. They're a jack of all trades. This means that they aren't particularly strong in one aspect, but they provide all the features we need. This means we don't have to have several different systems to accomplish what we do.
Chose MindTickle
Easier to deploy and manage.
Mindtickle platform delivers better engagement and experience overall
Scalable solution in terms of cost
Scratchpad
Chose Scratchpad
Scratchpad's pipeline views allow for better forecasting. This saves me time using multiple tools and views to get a better pulse of where I am at and where I need to be. I selected Scratchpad as it was recommended to me by a colleague, and once he showed me how he was using …
Chose Scratchpad
It doesn't. Scratchpad is more agile and much easier to use as a seller managing a large patch with lots of opportunities. SAP is robust but is far more complicated and involves a lot more inputs to get the same outputs that you can get with Scratchpad in half the time and …
Chose Scratchpad
I can't think of another tool similar to Scratchpad. The only other sales productivity tool that I've used in the past is Mixmax which is also an excellent tool. Mixmax has more features embedded in Gmail with the ability to view and edit Salesforce fields like Scratchpad, but …
Chose Scratchpad
Scratchpad is just a much more enjoyable way of interacting with Salesforce for the features it currently supports. It's not an alternative to Salesforce, it's an alternative UX for certain daily activities in SF, and it's great at that.
Chose Scratchpad
Before finding Scratchpad, logging account movements and mapping were done over OneNote (account management), Excel (pricing), and Word (call notes). Now I can get rid of the OneNote and Word aspects as they both sit on Scratchpad that links directly back to SF. This has helped …
Chose Scratchpad
I prefer the usage and benefit of Scratchpad over Coda, and easier & faster to use than Salesforce. I feel Coda has very little benefit (basically google page), but Scratchpad helps me stay organized for opportunities & discovery notes which is crucial. I highly suggest …
Chose Scratchpad
Scratchpad is far better and has way more ability to make changes than IQ does.
Chose Scratchpad
Scratchpad has more out-of-the-box features like centralized note-taking and the ability to pull in reports.
Chose Scratchpad
Scratchpad customizations stay within the margins of rules set by our organization. We didn't do a deep dive of Dooly and can mainly speak to the quality and effectiveness within Scratchpad. Currently, my entire team of 10 reps is using it, and we all have found usefulness. …
Chose Scratchpad
Before Scratchpad, I made all updates through Salesforce. Reports don't load super quickly and can be tough to change. Scratchpad makes this much easier.
Chose Scratchpad
I haven't ever used anything else other than your typical pen and paper or notes section on my Mac. I wouldn't have any info on how they stack up compared to the competition. I would venture to say they are the only ones trying to change sales reps' lives. It's just what they …
Chose Scratchpad
I selected Scratchpad because the depth of integration within Salesforce is very useful; I don't have to use a separate application than what I'm already using, Scratchpad is imbued within my Chrome and SFDC instances. Their free capabilities don't block you from viewing notes …

I have over 250 accounts in my name, and it can be difficult to prioritize and find notes on past conversations my colleagues may have had. Scratchpad makes it super easy to reference past notes and add new ones to organize my book of business and make the best use of my time.

Pros
  • MindTickle is very well organized, the user interface is easy to read and navigate. This is important because it is very friendly towards both tech-savvy individuals and non-technical individuals.
  • The viewable points on MindTickle helps boost individuals who are competitive and does well to inform users of how they stack up against their fellow peers.

Cons
  • You can't organize the trainings yourself, you have to stick to the filters MindTickle and your company use for organization. It would be helpful to be able to provide your own organization.
  • The badges are arbitrary. Points help you see where you're colleagues are at, but the badges aren't really useful at all.

  • When pulling in Salesforce reports, it doesn't have full ability to do grouping/sorting.
  • When looking at pipeline view there's not an ability to expand the default view to see more than 5 people per group.
  • It'd be nice if comments would go as a task rather than a buzz.

Support Rating
I guess it would be great. I have not needed to utilize the customer support team since I have been using the MindTickle platform. I would say that a good thing. But on the flip side, I am just one user. I would imagine people who are actually putting in the content deal with customer support more regularly for any issues on how the product is operating.

The one thing I will give to Highspot is that their analytic capabilities (especially in the library) are more robust.

Return on Investment
  • I'm not in a position to know the specifics, but I will guess the three biggest impacts. One positive has been that MindTickle has kept us sales reps up to date and able to talk about all of the products. I'm sure that these trainings have led to better pipeline numbers.
  • MindTickle has had a positive impact on diversity and cultural training as well, as more people are learning and open to learn.

  • I credit Scratchpad to saving me on average about 1 - 2 hours a day (what it used to take me) and about 5 - 6 hrs per week.
  • Scratchpad makes me feel better about where I stand in regards to my quota cause it gives me easy visualization into my pipeline making forecasting discussions easier with managers.
  • Scratchpad enables me to stay organized and helps me feel less overwhelmed with Admin work.
