Consensus vs. Showpad eOS®

There have been a few situations in the past where we have only engaged 1 person from an organisation. However with the share feature Consensus offer to viewers it has allowed us to discover who else would be involved with the project. Pre demo stage we have been able to share long form video content with the prospects and easily identify what sections of the video are being watched multiple times. Based on this info we have been able to tailor our demos as it shows whats important to them.

Any person who is interested in understanding the level of engagement from a client needs Showpad. It is a must-have software if you have people within your organization that are customer-facing. If your role is primarily communicating with employees within your own organization, then this software might not be as useful to you. For those in sales, account management, or who needs to know if your recipient has seen your emails/content, this is a useful tool.

I have not been involved with support from Showpad so I am not entirely sure. However, we have received some emails from our help desk about an outage and it seems like it didn't last very long so I would say that it was pretty effective support to that extent.

Videos had been recorded using platforms previously but the distribution of these videos was often uncontrolled and untraceable. Consensus provides a platform where we can control, distribute and track shared content. It also allows us to build up stakeholder maps based on video engagement. The platform provided means we no longer have to choose what communication send out with the video; as the platform manages that aspect.

The only option our company used was cloud-based file-sharing services (Box, Dropbox, etc) and emails like Outlook or Gmail. Both options make it hard for version control and for ease of navigation. Generally, end-users had an easier time finding content on Showpad.
