    If you are in any type of sales, and meeting with people, it is a must. If you already know you contact well, it doesn't have as much value for that particular meeting. Also I wish there was a way to not sync internal meetings, as it just provides clutter, and I don't need info on those people.

    For what my team uses GeoSurf for, it is well suited for jumping from country to country to quality control content placements very quickly. For the most part it is reliable, efficient and fast, changing countries and loading content instantly. Our company uses it for a fairly specific task on only our company website, but for what we use it for, it is a very powerful tool.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • At times it doesn't pull a social profile for the contact correctly, or at all, when I know the person has a profile.
    • The interface is a little clunky, and the font is too large. It could be a lot smaller and still effective.
    • It takes a lot of time to sync at points, which is frustrating.

    • It has been very difficult to set up GeoSurf for a device like an Xbox or Playstation, requiring significant experimentation and multiple devices daisy-chained and we needed to write detailed integration guides for testers. Device-specific solutions or guides would help tremendously.

    The thing that Charlie does best is it aggregates everything in one place. It allows me to have a one-stop shop, that I can quickly review prior to heading into a meeting. People are usually amazed with the amount of info that Charlie can give you, and it almost always works its way into my sales call.

    Geosurf blows them out of the water in terms of features and liability. Freedom offers a cheaper cost but when you are working for a big company it is time to bring out the big guns and that is where GeoSurf comes in. Reliable is an understatement for sure.

    • The info I pull from Charlie prior to the meeting is almost always brought up as a conversation starter.
    • Charlie helps my relationships go deeper than just surface level info.
    • The ability to go deeper in my relationships while using Charlie has absolutely closed me business.
