Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
Allego has the below advantages vs. Salesforce. 1. We call through the software & calls are automatically captured along with the call records & captured as tasks completed. 2. We use call coaching from the recorded calls to enable our team to improve further. Salesforce is …
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
We considered these products but they did not seem as adaptable to our purposes
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
Aleego stood out because of the value for the money and the problems they can solve. Their customer service is great.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
we have not used any other platform
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
Allego is easier to use, more engaging for the user, and easier for the administrator. Our teams have leveraged this tool more than other tools we've tried.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
I was not personally involved in the purchase of Allego, but came to the organization shortly after. I would say that Allego stacks up to both Gong and Litmos pretty well with a few differences.
Gong is a little more robust when it comes to the functionality of call …
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
You have more creative control and do not have to go through their team to make changes. Cost to create courses went from $5 - 8,000 to virtually nothing as now we can build our own courses or programs without assistance or excessive cost.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
It's 50/50. Allego offers functionality that others do not (video creation and simple sharing), and others offer functionality that Allego does not (contact management, integration with loan origination software). It just comes down to what the tool is going to be used for. …
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
Allego is much more independent. I did not use CD2 much, however from input from previous users, we have more control with Allego, and more ownership in our own content.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
The ability to drop and drag documents to the needed location within Allego was a game changer for me. As well as utilizing the ability to notify users within the system itself, prior I had to send emails to users. The efficiency of this system has really been a time saver.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
I do not currently use, but it is used by others.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
Better features, pricing and customer support.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
We chose to replace Google Drive with Allego because of Allego's custom tagging system, ensuring content is far more findable and thus gets used more.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
Allego has many more functionalities — virtual exercises, searchable library, recording video direct from platform, to name a few — and can act as a single source of truth for company learning. Our previous platform only let us create lessons to follow and didn’t allow for …
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
This is the first program of this type that I have used.
Chose Allego Revenue Enablement Platform
We evaluated two other platforms, Boco and Acto. At the time we felt the video coaching aspect at Allego better suited our needs and was more user friendly. When we considered Acto, we were interested in the micro-learning capabilities, but after seeing how Allego had evolved …

N/A. We have not evaluated other programs as a Allego has satiated our needs
Scratchpad
Chose Scratchpad
Gong is terrible compared to Scratchpad. I wish that Gong would buy Scratchpad so that everything would be in one place, but Gong's equivalent tool is as far away from easy and intuitive as possible. It's clunky, and I hate going in there and clicking around.
Chose Scratchpad
Only compared to Salesforce functionality
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 …

You get out of Allego what you put into a Allego. We are a two-person training team with other job responsibilities. Allego requires a driver of content as content will not just create itself nor will people be apt to just film a video themselves. As easy as the software is to use it requires manual planning and execution to ensure consistent content. If you have a good content calendar and planned and hold subject matter experts accountable as well as Sales Management, you will have a robust platform where all users benefit.

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.

Cons
  • We have yet to discover something about the system we don't like.
  • If hard-pressed to find a flaw, it would be that whomever authors content, the content is tied to that individual; however, Allego has the capability to "reassign" content to a different author when needed.

  • 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.

I was not personally involved in the purchase of Allego, but came to the organization shortly after. I would say that Allego stacks up to both Gong and Litmos pretty well with a few differences. Gong is a little more robust when it comes to the functionality of call intelligence and coaching and has a little more to offer when it comes to syncing up to Salesforce. But doesn't have the content storage or LMS capability. Litmos has the badging capability that Allego does not, but it didn't have the CI and content storage like Allego does

Return on Investment
  • We use it as a CRM for our customer interactions. This tool allows us to manage our customers efficiently.
  • We call through the software, and calls are automatically captured along with the call records and captured as tasks completed.
  • We use call coaching from the recorded calls to enable our team to improve further.
  • Data upload of the past customer records are very cumbersome.
  • UI is not in the same level as the market leaders like Salesforce etc,

  • I'm using the free version and unfortunately our organization as a whole doesn't use it because we now use Gong. My manager has complimented me many times as always having an updated pipe compared to my other team members. It helps me be on top of it.
