Considered Both Products
Seismic Content
Chose Seismic Content
Highspot was used at a different organization and seems to me to be superior in user interface, tracking metrics, and efficiency. Seismic was purchased for our current organization with no solution previously in place. In my experience, Seismic lacks features for guiding and …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to high spot but it a bit more user friendly and intuitive. Guru would be great for a small company who just needs to organize assets. But Seismic is the best option if you also utilize their ai capabilities which heavily impacts search in a positive way
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is the go to platform for content creation, sharing, and collaboration between customers and colleagues. It's saves you time having to look for information when it's a tool with everything in one unified place. We don't have to ask anyone else for slides, brochures, …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is much more high level compared to the free tools as far as features. Competitors likely just house files whereas Seismic does this along with a lot more. In my opinion, also has a cleaner layout.
Chose Seismic Content
Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content …
Chose Seismic Content
Personally I think Seismic is more built for Sales enablement whereas Brainshark is a good education/knowledge development platform.
Chose Seismic Content
I haven't used similar tools.
Chose Seismic Content
The ease of use with Seismic versus Confluence is night and day! Confluence is not a very user-friendly program and what you can find is basically by luck. In Seismic it is accessible to everyone that has the permission to view whatever it is they are trying to view or follow …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to most content management systems and integrates less easily than the Salesforce CMS (not surprising), but it is more powerful than Salesforce CMS and Highspot. Highspot is less refined and less user-friendly than Seismic but I feel it also has more …
Chose Seismic Content
I am still learning how to maximize the potential using Seismic, so I'm getting more and more savvy with its potential.
Chose Seismic Content
I honestly, personally, haven't looked into other options very much besides Google Drive. I think for this purpose, Seismic does a better job because it holds everything we need without having to share files or give people access. It is just a site where we all have a log-in …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic offers a more personalized user experience, with more analytics, a cleaner interface, and more responsive customer support.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is designed for salespeople - whereas Adobe Experience Manager (Assets and Sites) were both designed for Marketing teams to use. I think Seismic is more valuable for customer interactions than Adobe Experience Manager because it allows you to measure the amount of time …
Chose Seismic Content
We used to use Callidus Cloud, but honestly nobody was utilizing the platform, nor were we using it to the most potential. Seismic allowed for us to customize and have partner licenses.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic has a robust amount of features, LiveSend is fantastic, and the analytics for our sales and marketing team to make better informed decisions.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic and Hubspot were the top two finalists and ultimately we chose Seismic because its integration with Dynamics CRM was already ready to go. Hubspot was working on their integration but we knew from experience how difficult working with Microsoft could be, so we went with …
Chose Seismic Content
We selected Seismic because of cost, capabilities and support.
Chose Seismic Content
Prior to Seismic, we used SAVO. SAVO's user interface wasn't as visually pleasing as Seismic's, but we found it much easier to edit/update our master content within SAVO.
Chose Seismic Content
The user experience was better.
Chose Seismic Content
We're only using LiveDocs in Seismic and it's way better than Highspot's 3rd party solution.
Chose Seismic Content
The only other sales enablement tool that I've used personally was SAVO, which was acquired by Seismic.
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is very similar to Showpad and Highspot and I'm sure they are great products too. What we were really impressed by was their ability to speak to our requirements and helped us build a strong business case for implementing this platform. We felt confident moving forward …
Chose Seismic Content
Seismic is our first sales enablement tool and we didn't really research others. They hit the ball out of the park with their initial presentation and we didn't look back.
Yesware
Chose Yesware
Yesware had a lot more accurate tracking than Sendgrid and had a great integration with Salesforce to track who was sent emails. Sendgrid had no way of tracking and became hard to manage who we had sent emails. Sendgrid did help to maintain domain health and allow for far more …
Chose Yesware
Groove has a simple and more user-friendly interface. It also allows mass emails to be sent more easily. Yesware provides this as well but some of the features were off - like the preview ones. It just needs an interface update. I believe if this feature was fixed, Yesware …
Chose Yesware
Yesware is far superior to the free or included-in CRM email trackers I have tried over the year; it is just more accurate and tracks the opens more reliably,
and can filter out your opens and opens from people in your own organization so you don't get any false positive results.
Chose Yesware
Our team evaluated Salesloft, Saleshandy, RightInbox, and Boomerang. We felt that the Yesware integration with GMail was simple and unobtrusive. While none of these tools integrate directly with our CRM, Yesware's ability to upload contacts via .csv files helped ease that pain …
Chose Yesware
I preferred using Yesware to Outreach in terms of the templates themselves because with Yesware as an end user I could still customize the messaging and make the email sound like me. With Outreach templates were locked down so end users could not change any of the messaging and …
Chose Yesware
WE were looking for a sophisticated tool to solve our outbound efforts and one name keep popping up. Outreach. We tried to set up meetings with them but they discovered us over an email and told us that someone from my org tried to look for their solution however it is not best …
Chose Yesware
We use both Yesware and Moosend and they each serve their own purpose. Yesware is better suited for plain text emails, whereas Moosend is best for HTML emails. They do work together sometimes when we need our counselors to have access to an email we built in Moosend when we …
Chose Yesware
I've had deliverability issues with Mixmax and downtime issues with Apollo. No real service issues using Yesware, but it does lack in some features behind the two. Ultimately, deliverability was the most important factor for me in choosing Yesware. I like Mixmax's ability …
Chose Yesware
I think they compliment one another. While Outreach also provides great analytics, Yesware is more seamless.
Chose Yesware
We ended up changing from Yesware to Groove due to some functionality and integrations we needed like SFDC and LinkedIn Sales Navigator. We wanted to be able to track inmails and upload LISN leads automatically.
Chose Yesware
I found Yesware and Streak to be fairly comparable but Yesware's data analytics were superior.
Chose Yesware
Yesware is much more reliable compared to others. The tracking feature is the most outstanding feature of this software which is not provided to the same extent by other software. Users can track each and every email, whether email has been opened or not, which device has been …
Chose Yesware
Yesware was the only product that we evaluated. We thought about using Hubspot in tandem with it, but realized this was unnecessary.
Chose Yesware
I evaluated both Yesware and Salesloft. I found that Salesloft offered a ton of additional features that weren't necessary for our needs and had a price point to reflect the additional functionality. Yesware fits our needs with its product offering and price.
Chose Yesware
Yesware is much more efficient than its competitors and gives much more real-time results compared to SalesLoft for example that in my experience has lagged. Yesware is much more dynamically priced as well which makes it easy to fit any business's needs. We selected Yesware for …
Chose Yesware
Yesware is extremely limited in functionality compared to something like SalesLoft, which is a much more comprehensive tool. We originally moved to Yesware from SalesForce Inbox and Engage as that did not offer the flexibility to deploy templates and was much more cumbersome …
Chose Yesware
Yesware is so much simpler to use. Because of the integrations and how easy it is to use it actually gets used by our team. I've used many systems like this in the past and nothing gets used as much as Yesware.
Chose Yesware
Yesware is less robust than Outreach. Outreach might be overkill for your needs. Outreach is a great SDR tool. Yesware is great for strategic email outreach.
Chose Yesware
I like both of these systems. YesWare did feel pretty easy for most sales reps to use and implement into their workflows.
Chose Yesware
We had previously used HubSpot Sales. Yesware provides more detailed tracking analytics than HubSpot Sales.
Chose Yesware
Yesware is simple. There is less of a hassle upon implementing it and setting up multiple users. The pricing is also much more reasonable and pragmatic. Hubspot was overly complicated and not as specialized, trying to do too much instead of perfecting one aspect. With Yesware …
Chose Yesware
We use both and outreach has more functionality in terms of automation but it is 3-4X the pricing which is why I still stick with Yesware for a majority of my teams.

It is excellent for a cloud-based workspace between you and your customers. I find the chat feature to be a cool and underutilized tool. I appreciate how you can consolidate all your information on one page, rather than having multiple attachments. Easy to clone DSRs (Digital Sales Rooms), which saves a significant amount of time. Especially when all you have to do is make minor changes between customers.

Yesware has had the best deliverability of all the email senders I've used (beating Mixmax, Apollo, GMass). Yesware is perfect for sales teams sending outbound. It's not well suited for sending marketing campaigns/newsletters. It's great for startups/SMBs/early mid-market companies on the Premium team for sales teams <10. I haven't experienced the enterprise option, but for small teams it's hard to beat.

Pros
  • Seismic allows for one location to store all relevant content so that associates are not having to spend as much time searching for what they need.
  • Seismic provides the ability to fully customize content such that one template can serve many needs with the simple ability to answer questions that drive the customization in the content. This customization can range from simple to quite complex depending on your level of expertise with the tool.
  • Seismic provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to organizing your content and how to make the experience of accessing that content unique to the needs of each user in the system.

  • Personalization- Yesware does a great job at allowing you to customize and edit emails in a way that allows you to send a mass amount, but still have them feel like you spent a lot of time personalizing each one. Allows you to move faster and more efficient.
  • Tracking and reporting- the tracking and reporting is very detailed, clear and concise. Allowing you to gain insight into how well your emails are doing in terms of open rates, clicks and reply's. This is extremely helpful for testing out different subject lines and email copy to find out what emails are the most successful and why.
  • It is all around easy to use- does not require much training on the tool, if at all. Easy to navigate and set up through Salesforce. Any member of your team can use it to their advantage and hit the ground running very quickly.

Cons
  • There have been a few times where issues with a server leads to a slow user experience or users are unable to use the platform for a small period of time. Bringing these to a minimum would greatly enhance the user experience.

  • We don't use Yesware's dialer tool because it doesn't measure up to the quality or speed of their competitors
  • Yesware has kept on a legacy tool, 'MailMerge' which is essentially duplicative to the main tool 'Campaigns', but has one neat feature that allows us to 'CC' another recipient, which is useful we want to reach out to two people at the same account
  • Yesware makes sure that users don't add the same prospect to multiple email/call campaigns, but it does not offer that safety measure across users, so theoretically, two sales/marketing reps can be reaching out to the same person

I like the product, but due to the limitations I don't love it. I'm curious to revisit other options, particularly in lieu of Yesware's recent price increases (although I'm on a legacy plan). Some of my challenges to be browser related (I'm on an older computer) -- I'll have to see how things go when I receive my new computer. If the glitches (especially with regard to tracking accuracy and send later feature) go away, I'd be much more inclined to renew

Usability
Seismic is super easy to use and has so many different features and functionality to take advantage of. But being a company who utilizes Google platform a lot we have some issues with the api connections and integrations across the board. But all in all it is not a huge issue, I would just like to see them improve the integration more
Read full review
Pretty good overall, but again it needs some tweaks to ensure user frustration is kept to a minimum. This would go back to the autosave feature I mentioned which would immediately be a value add but not something that should need a user to move into a paid tier.

Support Rating
I have never tried chatting/calling with Support for Seismic. However, from others that I have talked to that use Seismic in more of an administrative role, they have been easy to work with and are of great assistance. I think it's a good thing I've never needed to talk to support, as it means I haven't had any issues to this point.

Because it deserves this rating. The features and functionality provided are great. Our Sales team is very satisfied with this software as it integrates very well with our other software like Outlook, Salesforce, etc. Yesware provides great follow up with customers, which is essential for sales. Meeting scheduling is also flawless.

Both Highspot and Seismic are great tools. They each provide an extensive library that can be easily customized based on the rep/team/deal cycle stage etc. Seismic has a much cleaner look and feel. As a rep, I felt it was much easier to navigate the tool and organize my content the way I wanted to. Highspot tended to feel cluttered and even overwhelming at times. Along with that, the AI and saved search feature ran smoother in Seismic. I could easily find the document or sales deck I was looking for, whereas in Highspot I felt I had to look around longer than I would have liked.

WE were looking for a sophisticated tool to solve our outbound efforts and one name keep popping up. Outreach. We tried to set up meetings with them but they discovered us over an email and told us that someone from my org tried to look for their solution however it is not best suited. I replied, that I would still like to look at their tool to understand if this could solve our newly created team for outbound but they decided not to move onto a demo as not having Salesforce kinda was a deal-breaker for them. Hence, we decided to stick to Yesware as we thought it solved our problem, and outreach maybe just looks for Enterprise level customers.

Return on Investment
  • The bespoke resources we have created and implemented in Seismic have increased our reps efficiency and effectiveness and ultimately increased their confidence with our prospects.
  • Better time management as connecting different lines of businesses and/or functions like Marketing with Compliance allows for a smoother workflow and less time consumption.
  • Improved workflows as Seismic allows the distribution of resources either internally or externally quickly with links & PDF files directly into email correspondence or Slack messages.
Read full review
  • I think net positive ROI from generating meetings that lead to closed deals. Ultimately very difficult to quantify the ROI since it is essentially automating a lot of the manual prospecting done by BDRs/AEs - so ROI is likely higher than just that quantifiable number around deals closed.
