Mediafly Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I implemented the solution for a client of mine in the beauty industry. The customer sold products into big box beauty stores and had problems understanding the revenue and generating insights to allow active decision meeting.

The scope of the implementation was to implement the solution for all sales teams in the US.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think InsightSquared Slate is well suited for a small to medium company with 1000-1500 employees and a fairly straightforward business model that does not have complex sales pipelines and methodology. The cost of the software is reasonable and a company that fits the above crtieria should do great with it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Best collateral version control I've ever experienced. We use Mediafly for version control of our collateral across the company and wherever our content lives. Using Mediafly share links, we are able to post collateral to our website and portals. If a piece needs to be updated, it's easy to upload the newest version to Mediafly, which will then farm out the latest version everywhere the share link lives. If you are tired of having to update a piece of collateral in 12 different places every time a change is made, you need Mediafly.

Likelihood to Recommend

I'll keep saying it: Mediafly is excellent at version control. I am confident that what's loaded on the website, our partner portal, and what reps are able to share is always the most recent version. This has been especially helpful as we went through an acquisition followed by a rebrand.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Mediafly is being used to host and provide interactive sales and marketing tools that are utilized by the business value consulting team as well as prospects and customers to evaluate the financial benefits of a product investment. They are also used to develop executive ready business cases and assess the current level of maturity for prospects and customers in our current target market. Their tools address the problem of stalled deals, non-compelling sales conversations, prospects not understanding the full value of their investment, and the challenge with elevating the sales conversation to higher level executive buyers.

Likelihood to Recommend

The Mediafly platform is well suited for organizations that need assistance developing their value story and delivering more interactive and compelling sales content to their field and prospects. It's well suited for all stages of the buyer journey and I can't think of an area it would be inappropriate to utilize.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used by Executive team, Sales and Sales Ops. We use it to understand AE performance comparisons, sales cycle trends, ACV trends, and more. We use those inputs to then drive our projections + modeling.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited: you don't want to invest in a big Sales Ops team and you just want the same data each day/week (etc). Also, you want it to hookup to salesforce (a CRM you use)

Not well suited: you're tight on budget and can reproduce many of these visuals in Salesforce itself

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InsightSquared Analytics for forecasting and retro for our Sales organization. Our Finance team also uses InsightSquared Analytics to create board-ready reporting. Sales Leadership uses it to help coach and address performance within their teams. InsightSquared Analytics is not widely used on our business development team but rather our account executive team. It has extremely robust filtering which keeps us out of Excel and inside Salesforce where InsightSquared can be embedded.

Likelihood to Recommend

InsightSquared Analytics is phenomenal in forecasting, reporting of pipeline, and retrospective discussions. The ease of filtering and being able to use multiple filters provides a deep view of your data. It integrates well with Salesforce and is cross-team functional (Finance, Sales, Marketing). When there are bugs or issues with the UI, resolution time is not always the fastest. Creating dashboards is very easy and fast.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InsightSquared as a dashboarding and analytics tool for our sales, finance, and marketing organizations. We have custom dashboards built for each team within the sales department, rolling up to our VPs and CSO, as well as general use by the rest of our executive team. Finance uses it for pipeline history analysis, while marketing has utilized some customized reporting for attribution data.

Likelihood to Recommend

InsightSquared has been a great tool for quick reference dashboards for the whole organization and teams within the sales org. It presents a standardized individual dashboard for all the reps on the team. It doesn't fare well when trying to deep dive things like campaign and lead source inquiries, as well as activities associated with that opportunity.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InsightSquared in our sales organization to provide analytics and metrics on pipeline health, process bottlenecks, sales cycles, progress towards goals, forecasting and individual team member performance in order to better manage our business. We're able to gain insights that we can't obtain from the standard dashboards and reporting Salesforce provides. Prior to obtaining InsightSquared, we had hunches and suspicions about what was happening in our pipeline and sales process, but those things became visible, by individual seller, when we had the tool. That allowed for individual coaching and improvement based on data. We did look at Salesforce's Einstein tool that provides similar functionality, but found InsightSquared to be more affordable and just as capable if not more so.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think the tool is well suited for individual coaching and mentoring on sales performance, really helping you understand how/if your pipeline is changing/growing, which was a top concern for us when we purchased the tool, helping the exec team easily understand how we're tracking towards goals and why we're being successful or why not, and identifying trends on why we're winning or losing deals as well as getting a sense of which open deals are most likely to wind up in the won or lost columns. We're not an inside sales team and haven't yet gotten into measuring and reporting on activities.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use InsightSquared Marketing Analytics in direct integration with our Salesforce instance. It's our only marketing analytics and business intelligence tool. We use it in conjunction with our sales operations BI tool to provide our business with a complete, multi-touch, profile of our marketing and lead gen business results.

Likelihood to Recommend

InsightSquared Marketing Analytics is well suited for businesses with multi-touch marketing analytic requirements, as well as the need to report across multiple object types for accurate details on the MQL funnel/flywheel. Works very well with integrations using Salesforce and HubSpot. You will likely need an established campaign hierarchy in SFDC or in your marketing automation system to be able to get the full benefit of InsightSquared.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

All of the sales positions within our company utilize InsightSquared. We use it to track KPIs and monitor activity. We also display a leaderboard on our bullpen TVs to keep track of the "movers and shakers" in sales. It's integrated into our daily process and is the first place we go to locate any sort of activity information.

Likelihood to Recommend

InsightSquared Sales Analytics is perfectly suited for recruiters and/or business development to log in and easily see their daily/weekly/monthly/annual activities. It's great to see how far you've worked towards your goals and KPI metrics. We like displaying the leaderboards in our bullpen to keep people constantly motivated to be #1 in a given category.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

InsightSquared Sales Analytics is being used heavily across the whole organization, although when I worked on the internal Revenue Ops team at my company I used it more often.

We use itInsightSquared Sales Analytics for forecasting, pipeline management, win songs feature (which is a great one, by the way), sales leaderboards, and more. We have it built into our very business process and reviewing the data. We have recurring reports for both individual reps and management. The visualization options and custom pivots work well.

Likelihood to Recommend

InsightSquared Sales Analytics is best suited for sales analytics and pipeline management. We haven't delved into their recurring revenue reporting as we are not a SaaS model, but seems like it would do well there as well. The ability to pivot revenue-based reporting on any given field and have it dynamically updating in dashboards is very helpful. The card views are clean and effective at sharing data.

It's less appropriate for fusing marketing analytics with revenue. The integration with marketing automation platform seems a bit weak. If your SFDC activity data isn't well configured, that can cause issues as well with SDR type metrics.
