Aviso Insights vs. Scratchpad

It is great if you are working in a sales environment where you need to keep track of your deals and sales pipeline. It's not an application for a company that only has a small sales force, where deals can be tracked manually.

Frankly, if I can do something in Scratchpad instead of Salesforce, I prefer Scratchpad because it's faster, easier, simpler, with a much more readable and useable interface. Salesforce has been getting requests to allow font size modification for over a decade and hasn't even done that. That's what sent me looking for something like Scratchpad. I sort of view it as a much more user-friendly UI to layover SF. It's faster and less frustrating than SF for frequent daily activities. It's great for creating notes and tracking tasks at a basic level in a much more user friendly environment than Salesforce. But it interacts w/ SF, which is great!

• It would be great if we are able to customize it fully, there is more information from our CRM that we can use to have more insights on our pipeline reviews.

• 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.

We were using Aviso and were approached by Clari. We reviewed Clari and went through a POC but still decided to stay with Aviso due to their flexibility in working with the data from Salesforce. Clari required us to create specific fields within Salesforce in order to push the data into the application. Whereas with Aviso, it did not matter what Salesforce object the data was on, they were able to pull the data in to the application without any customization in Salesforce itself.

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 effort.

• Positive impact: better visibility on the stages of our deals, more accurate forecasting of sales numbers.
• Negative impact: we have another tool to use together with our CRM instead of keeping it all in one place.

Incentivized

• I save many hours a week using Scratchpad to simply manage my tasks.
• I no longer waste time waiting for SFDC to load.
• I can easily create opps, adjust the pipeline, and check to see if someone is already prospecting into an account.
