CloudShare vs. Consensus

I mentioned that during the last two years, a lot of the training we do at my business was impacted, just like a lot of companies. My biggest thing was getting everyone on the same page, and I feel some software does that better than others. With Cloudshare, It allowed me especially to see an accurate snapshot of what was going on with the learning portion of the work that we do by making it easy to digest what was going on in my workplace.

Within the last 6 months, I've run a personal A/B test on opportunities with and without Consensus videos being sent after every meeting. Those opportunities where I sent Consensus videos after every meeting had a >50% likelihood of closing and/or progressed past the Proposal phase. Those opportunities where I did not send Consensus video, I was left unanswered more often than not

• Virtual classroom
• Collective management
• Learning features
• Flexibility

Incentivized

• The ability to tailor demos and demoboards to show various functionality of the product.
• We appreciate the features Consensus has to customize demos in various forms.
• The customer service and post-sales trainings the Consensus team has held for our company have been extremely beneficial. I personally appreciated learning how demos are better received when they're not 'perfect'

Incentivized

• Took more time to onboard everyone with how to use it.
• VM can be very slow at times.
• Feel like some process are overcomplicated.

Incentivized

• The front-end UX could be improved to look and feel more like a mature SaaS solution
• There's a limited amount of help resources to assist throughout the video building process
• I'd like to see more integrations with broader SaaS solutions to unlock more use cases (i.e. Engaging in group formats, long-form webinars, etc)

Consensus has been a valuable and vital sales tool at every stage of our sales cycle. In the very early stages of prospect education, you can send videos to get them familiar and up to speed with our product without a solution consultant's involvement. It is also a very powerful tool at the later stages of the sales cycle, with the ability to tailor demos and intro videos and record exec alignment itro videos, which we have had great success with

There is some level of enablement necessary for those that will actually be creating demo videos There are several things that you have to turn on to make sure everyone can see the demo videos in the library and it took some time to realize that I wasn't turning on all the triggers I needed

I just felt that Azure had little to no help on the base tiers, whereas with Cloudshare, I felt a fuller "user experience" as it pertains to getting help when I and when my team needed it. I think that was the biggest and main thing in my opinion. In this software space, sometimes the little things can be the difference in picking one software over the other, and that basically was it for us!

Consensus was much more robust in what they offered compared to other products. We have been using them for years with no plans on changing because of the time and effort saved by being able to send out videos that showcase different parts of our software and the full suite when necessary

• We save time as we can keep virtual classrooms always ready.
• It may vary according to the usage scenario, but the user interface is comfortable. When you go into a little detail, you may not need counseling for initial use.
• You can manage the jobs that you would do multiple times on other platforms at once from here.
• All of these actually give you a profit. Time wasted, less application usage, less resource consumption, etc.

Incentivized

• I have been able to close deals where offices were not able to join a meeting
• This has been a great resource for saving time on training the team. We dont have to take time out of the day to sit in classes, we can learn as we go
