The team at ClearSlide was more responsive and did a better job of articulating our needs and requirements. We also felt the UI of ClearSlide was far superior to DocSend. All in all, we are very satisfied with ClearSlide as well as our account and support teams. There were some …
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 …
ClearSlide is amazing for the ease of sharing decks across the org and the ability to pull slides from other users decks to integrate into your own. The tracking features are a gamechanger to provide insight to when and how many times a client has viewed material. I do …
It is easier to see the full spate of files with Clearslide vs. Dropbox, and each slide shows individually in Clearslide vs. other products that just provide a file in name only. In addition, Clearslide provides direct intel on how customers view and interact with the content …
ClearSlide was far and away, the best choice for our organization. Since we were using Google Docs and emails before signing up for ClearSlide, it was an easy choice. We reviewed a few competitors but were sold pretty quickly. Our head of Sales Planning had also used ClearSlide …
ClearSlide is better than Groove but it also provides different values. Groove is good for clicks but ClearSlide is better to determine if your content is useful and relevant to the client.
ClearSlide was far and away the best in terms of analytics that it provided. We really wanted to see where we were losing prospects. It is also easy to use, and easy to share screen. The issue with us became that we could not allow prospects to use browsers other than Google …
I like SalesLoft and Yesware's ability to alert me when an email is opened, however, they can't say how long someone looks at any attachments. This gives ClearSlide the step up in that category. SalesLoft also has very shoddy reporting and can't differentiate between an open …
If you are looking for a true sales enablement platform that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales staff, curates content based on a seller's deal stage, and provides actionable analytics and intelligence, then I would go with Seismic/SAVO. That is the only …
They each have their own unique benefits. Clearslide bundles a lot of offerings in one tool. Email tracking, screen sharing, and meeting scheduler. It does each of these things well, but don't have all the features that you would expect in one tool that specializes in one …
We actually chose to pick up SalesLoft to do a lot of the things ClearSlide can do or said they could do. For example, with SalesLoft, not only can we create and store email templates, but we can blast them out to a mass amount of contacts. The data provided on email replies, …
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 …
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. …
I'm not overly familiar with Skype's presentation capabilities but we utilize it for internal communications (instant messaging) and occasionally video conferencing. Not sure if Clearslide has these capabilities or if Skype has the presentation capabilities of ClearSlide, but …
ClearSlide is much more robust. While webex and Skype for biz are both great for giving presentations, neither provide the email or reporting tools, nor the content management system that is present with 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 …
ClearSlide's integration and support team was fantastic in setting up the technology in our department. It integrates seamlessly into Salesforce and is very user friendly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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
