    Chili Piper is GREAT for sales development teams booking for sales people. This is especially true when there is a "round robin" system that needs to be abided by. I've experienced a lot of bad round robin systems and Chili Piper's is fantastic. This is also a great tool to schedule with people across multiple time zones, which I don't want to have to focus on while speaking. It enables sales reps to focus on the prospect, not the time change. Chili piper would not be a good fit for underperforming sales teams that don't book any meetings (:

    Homebase is a very cost-effective program that does a good job tracking employee hours as well as what employees are working on. It is extremely easy to use and has a lot of self-service features, which give employees information at their fingertips. Homebase integrates well with our payroll provider.

    Pros

    • I can send the link to each of my meeting templates for different prospects

    Cons
    Chili Piper, Inc.
    • They are continually improving their offering and we've seen great leaps over the past 2 years.
    • Would be nice to be able to modify the email reminders for every single contact and event versus have set templates
    • Faster load times, but we can’t complain too much!

    Homebase
    • The messaging features in Homebase are not consistent across the platform. In the app you can mass message everyone, however using the website you cannot, at least not at the price point that we are using.
    • The roles for employees and how to navigate them can be confusing especially when trying to schedule one employee in two different departments.
    • The separation of departments is a bit rigid and makes it difficult for universal employees to be scheduled easily.

    Homebase
    Homebase is very easy to use. Not a lot of training or direction is needed to get it going. Easy feature to track employee hours. Able to use centrally located tablets for employees to clock in and out. A very cost-effective system that also saves time when processing payroll. Employees love its features.

    Support Rating
    Chili Piper, Inc.
    • Support was very responsive during our integration phase, and after that too.
    • They have the whole infrastructure built to notify customers about bug/outages, which is excellent. Entire System outage only happened once, but being updated on fix progress helped a lot to keep our team calm.

    Calendly was being used at the company by some other departments and still is to some extent. However adding Chili Piper fore the marketing and sales departments was a no brainer once we saw the demo. It's Calendly on steroids and the company is just getting started using it. I'm sure we will see even more benefits as the years go on.

    Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!

    Return on Investment
    Chili Piper, Inc.
    • More demos held by simplifying the scheduling process. More demos = more opportunities
    • Initial set up was frustrating and created a lot of mix up which allowed some leads to slip through the cracks early
    • Integration with Salesforce.com saved our reps time because they didn't have to log activities manually

    • Homebase has made the day to day management of employees easier, freeing up time for management to work on other things that help secure customer satisfaction.
    • It has also made payroll easier since it's implementation and allowed for fewer mistakes than the previous manual method, leading to less monetary mistakes and happier employees.
    • Homebase has made monitoring hours and overtime, as well as completion of internship and volunteer hours, much easier to monitor, leading to less confusion and more satisfied volunteers, interns, and payroll managers
