Chose ClearSlide
ClearSlide's screenshare tools are far superior to GoToMeeting for our team and our customers. Our customers don't need to download anything such as Java to run the software. Our team can load presentations such as a PowerPoint or PDF to display to customers. This feature isn't …
Chose ClearSlide
I've sometime used GoToMeeting as an alternative when setting up demonstrations. It's far more complicated and the user experience is much more antiquated. Google Hangouts also works for online meetings but also harder for prospects to figure out and the video chat is …
Chose ClearSlide
They all have different use cases. Go To Meeting and Go To Webinar are the best for large groups, but has its limitations. Google Hangouts is great for internal or less formal meetings, but can be glitchy. Zoom is a platform most clients are familiar with and rarely has tech …
Chose ClearSlide
I find Clearslide to be much more user-friendly and the login process for the viewers to be very very intuitive. Other products make the login process and access code entry difficult. It was about 50/50 if all the viewers would be able to even get connected with other products. …
Chose ClearSlide
Best of all worlds. Probably single biggest thing is being able to give someone your personalized URL which allows them instant access to your pitch. Other sales engagement platforms require downloads and updates....etc., which become very cumbersome in the fast paced nature of …
Chose ClearSlide
ClearSlide is not as feature rich as many of its competitors. Its biggest advantage is in its simplicity. As feature rich as WebEx, GoToMeeting, Adobe Connect and others are, there continues to be issues related to reliability and the ability to launch the application in a …
Chose ClearSlide
GoToMeeting...ClearSlide appears to have easier connectivity with no downloads.
Chose ClearSlide
Wasn't decision maker, though I've used Webex/GoToMeeting/GoToTraining and Join.Me all within a similar time period for different clients. My first preference would be GoToMeeting/GoToTraining but purchase the version that gives me the highest amount of viewers. Then …
Chose ClearSlide
GoToMeeting and SalesCrunch were the competitors we reviewed but ClearSlide was further along in developing their video solution than both. ClearSlide also appeared to have more market momentum and growth than SalesCrunch at the time.

Clearslide makes it easy to share files with anyone via a single link. It simplifies the process of document sharing in the new "work from home" age we have now and allows multiple parties to view the same document, either simultaneously or separately. It is less appropriate for sensitive information, as the link can easily be shared between parties or forwarded on, so there is no gatekeeping.

It gets the job done. As a remote worker, I find it very easy and efficient to use. With using GoTo for audio, it makes it very efficient that I only have one account for all. Its a perfect tool for a company like us who constantly communicate and collaborate virtually.

Pros
Bigtincan
  • Analytics: for sales, especially when selling virtually, it can be difficult to know if your customers are engaged with the presentation. Clearslide will give you reports that indicate how long customers were viewing what you were presenting, if/when you lost them, and at what place in your presentation you lost them. It can also show you how long potential customers spent reviewing follow-up materials you've sent them.
  • Screenshare: the screenshare functionality, when using Google Chrome, is very seamless, and the customer can take over the screenshare without needing any downloads or plug-ins.
  • Presenting: It's quite easy to present material with Clearslide, and to move between materials that you are presenting.

Cons
Bigtincan
  • Call quality with CS has always been an issue in my two (2) years of experience with the platform. CS upgraded their phone provider in winter 2018, but the call quality has only been marginally improved from my perspective. Also, with the switch to a new phone provider, users are required to use a new conference line, access number, and a leader pin. The leader pin is new and adds an extra step to setting up a conference line, which seems unnecessary.
  • Content curation is probably my biggest issue with CS. With previous experience in a sales enablement company, I've seen how content can be curated to map to the seller's specific stage in a deal cycle, which is what most companies want. CS does not have this functionality from my perspective, and if it does, then overall curation capabilities are weak. Rather than curating content to match a seller's current point in a sales process, CS relies on surfacing content that is most popular or recently added. There is a search feature, which works well if you know what the collateral is called, but it is not scanning the content of documents to find what is most relevant. I equate the content feature of CS to a search that you would do in your computer's "Download" folder or even in Dropbox. If your company is smaller and only needs to surface a few pieces of collateral, then CS will work fine. If your organization is larger with large amounts of specific collateral, then I would look elsewhere.
  • The CS plugins for Outlook, Gmail, or your web browser are great ideas but executed poorly. The integrations have caused a lot of headaches for colleagues and me since their release. They have caused our email to close unexpectedly, content to not be linked properly, or emails to not be tracked. The idea for these integrations was to reduce the amount of time a seller has to jump between windows, which is awesome, but the integrations are full of glitches. One of the biggest glitches I've seen is how CS, Grammarly, and Outlook all work together. CS is always the component of those three that causes everything to freeze or crash. In short, the integrations are a great idea but executed poorly at this time.

  • You have to download an app that doesn't work well in order to blur the speakers and hosts background. I tried the third party app a few times, but its terrible.
  • I think the Customer service is ok
  • In my opinion, if you don't have the latest updates to your computer, it won't run properly.
  • Sometimes the host video doesn't appear.

ClearSlide is embedded in our culture and in our organization. The sales and marketing teams use ClearSlide on a daily basis to share information and presentations as well as communicate "what is working." Our leadership uses the analytics to provide improved feedback and coaching regarding bottlenecks our representatives are experiencing.

While we have found GoTo Meeting to be very useful and a part of our normal way of doing business, there are alternatives that are more cost-effective. For example, Microsoft Teams is available as part of our M365 subscription. This will require us to complete a cost analysis to determine which product makes more sense for us to move forward with.

Usability

Its easy to use from a presenter's perspective. Its web based so anyone who can navigate Facebook can open a live pitch or shared file. This makes it easy to give live demos, share files, and share screens with out downloading any software or installing java patches

The simplicity of GoToMeetings desktop, mobile, and web-based applications make it a very robust and user-friendly meeting solution. At times, it may be more complex than needed, but it is nice to have so many features that can be used if needed. Once installed, it is very easy to use and navigate.

I was mostly involved in the implementation process and syncing ClearSlide with Salesforce, and I would say the support was mostly average. It took a few times to get everything scheduled, and a lot of the process was left up to me. I was reading through the documents that they supplied. It wasn't complicated, but more direct support would have been appreciated.

When we have issues, they seem to respond quickly and do everything they can to help us. They have even tried to find other ways we could get more use out of their product, or improve the way we are currently using it. Overall, their support has been fairly good for us.

ClearSlide stacks up to be as good as any of the aforementioned tools. We selected Clearslide because of its ease of use and implementation. It did not take our team too long to get acclimated with how ClearSlide works and how they would be using it, allowing them to generate more meetings and more revenue.

This product ROCKS!!!! ClearSlide shortened my sales cycle by over 50% by enabling to jump right into a LIVE demo on an initial client call so I don't have to waste time scheduling a demo at later date. People are busy and finding a time to schedule a call can take days or weeks
