While InsideView seems more comprehensive than LinkedIn SalesNavigator, when you're looking to identify and save contacts with a particular area of responsibility (IT, for instance), Navigator provides results and means to track them more quickly and easily. Having to "unselect" every other job area category when initially landing on a company overview page in InsideView is tedious and time-consuming.

SAP Sales CLoud is not useful in cases where it needs zero downtime upgrades or new monthly releases or micro frontends.Although it is great for any cloud deployments, provides a unified view for the customers. Helps in AI insights recommendations and analytics. It is also optimised for mobile . It is robust and a highly scalable cloud plaform

Pros
Demandbase
  • 'Call Prep' - a list of industry-related questions to ask my prospects during the phone call to enhance trust and credibility as a business partner.
  • Regularly scrubbed email and phone numbers of prospects. The verified direct-dial mobile number is GOLD. You may be able to get some of these elsewhere by paying extra with a separate standalone service. Having this integrated has improved my workflow, saving time from switching in and out of different apps.
  • The family tree of organizations is particularly useful for targeting enterprise accounts that often come with convoluted company shareholding structures.
  • 'Challenges' and 'Trends' - information to engage prospects during conversations.

  • Help sales teams decide based on relevant data
  • Provide a framework to guide sales teams on activities such as status updates, customer success, sales qualification, etc
  • Reduce manual work by predictive analysis, that is, by understanding when a template can be helpful, updating a manager on a finished task, etc

Cons
Demandbase
  • As a system administrator, I wish I had access to real time reports regarding usage. Often times, senior leadership wants to know how their teams are using the information and who is using the software to its fullest. It's a pain to have to email InsideView and ask for a report.
  • We are a global organization and there is not a lot of information regarding companies outside the US. I know they are working on this, but my global field reps are anxiously waiting to use the software too.
  • I wish InsideView put out more "tips and tricks" documents. There does not seem to be a large repository of training documents. I am always looking to learn more, as are my reps.

  • One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud
  • While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes.
  • The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required.

Relatively inexpensive service for a decent current awareness service. They have added little in sales functionality in the past year as they focused on building a marketing version of the product. Except for the addition of broader European coverage last spring (thin Equifax records), the database was static over the past year.

SAP sales enables organizations to manage their sales activities, such as inquiries, quotations, orders, deliveries, billing, and payments. Also integrates with other SAP modules, such as finance, logistics, and marketing, to provide a comprehensive solution for managing the entire sales cycle. thats makes SAP a good choice

Usability

InsideView was extremely user-friendly. I was able to quickly understand how to efficiently use the software and get the most out of the service. I only had a short time to quickly learn how to use the functions offered by InsideView, and I felt confident within the first day of my understanding and ability to successfully use this tool.

We had an intro session with a customer success rep and were given a rundown of the platform and it was absolutely perfect. The rep was able to show us advanced search options and shortcuts that cut our search time.

SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.

We had to work with InsideView for some custom configurations example we have a custom field in Salesforce called ha location that needed let's say NJ to spell out New Jersey and make certain fields mandatory. They were easy to work with though.

The API documentation is good. Development team was able to implement in under two weeks, and normally we were told it was a 12-14 week process.

In my previous company, I was using both Linkedin and ZoomInfo, both of them were good, but there was a lot of restrictions with the basic versions, and when we shifted to the LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and ZoomInfo the quality improved but there was not much to get like InsideView. In my current company, at first we were using LinkedIn, but now I appreciate the decision made by our seniors to shift to InsideView. It is my personal opinion that I feel InsideView is better than LinkedIn and ZoomInfo.

We went with SAP Sales Cloud over Oracle Sales Cloud because it just clicks better with our way of doing things. SAP is like the superhero of sales software – it plays super well with all our other systems, grows with us as we get bigger, and gives us really smart insights into our sales. Plus, it's easy for our team to use, and we can tweak it to fit exactly how we work. While Oracle is good, SAP is like the perfect fit for our sales superhero team.
