    Everstage
    Everstage is well suited for smaller sales teams as it is little rigid with handling changes and maintenance is a task. Managing and computing on everstage is accurate and fast but making changes will require you to take help from the support team. They have an amazing support team to help you out.

    Qstream
    Qstream is great when used for reinforcement of training conducted. Especially when that training is detailed or complex, Qstream will help to embed key concepts and drive adoption while ensuring reps are interacting.

    Qstream
    • Gamification: gets reps involved in ways that keep it interesting while bringing in elements of competition.
    • Mobile: ease of use and direct access to reps while on the move. The interface is intuitive and able to be interacted with in quick increments rather than lengthy elearning.
    • Coaching: provides direct insights into who is coping and who is not so that enablement efforts can be focused.

    Cons
    Everstage
    • Improving the user interface of Everstage could enhance its usability and make it more intuitive for team leaders and users.
    • Offering more advanced customization options would provide organizations with greater flexibility to tailor Everstage to their specific needs.
    • Integration with Third-Party Tools would be very helpful.
    • Developing a mobile app for Everstage would provide users with the convenience of accessing the tool on-the-go.

    • Reporting: we only had access to some of the reports so would have liked to see more detail and have the ability to create custom reports.
    • Licensing: we accessed qstream via Growthplay so only had access to limited features. Would like to see this extended so that we could truly experience all of the qstream benefits.
    • Content Creation: we were not able to create our own questions and streams but had to rely on the external team. Self-creation and self-directed streams would have been preferable.

    The reason to give this rating is corely because of multiple level analysis, everstage provide product level analysis which is truly beneficial for any business manager, we can understand which product is doing good in the organization and we can understand which sales executive is selling more which course. The sales executives can understand their next stage of the incentive and monthly target left to do

    Qstream
    Qstream is good in terms of gamification and driving adoption. However we are looking for a platform that supports content creation, ILT training as well as gamification. Qstream would meet only one of those criteria. We may still use them again if we are unable to find a compete platform in future

    Usability
    Everstage
    Everstage provides a modern functional incentive platform that supports accurate sales compensation calculation. With Everstage in place our organization is experienced a huge savings in time and costs, and was able to boot sales team engagement. From automation to compensation visibility, analytics to integration with our back office systems and CRM, Everstage covered all our bases.

    Qstream was easy for us to use and gain insights from. Feedback from sales leaders and reps was generally positive. Having greater flexibility about creating custom reports and streams would have increased the rating

    It was a company decision, Excel was not automated and had high chances of human error and if not updated properly there may be chances of someone losing out on their attainment Ever stage being automated and linked to salesforce there is very less probability of mistake and also transparency in the records

    Qstream was selected by default because it was offered by Growthplay as their preferred gamification and adoption tool. We have subsequently looked at acquiring Qstream for other initiatives and are in the process of evaluating options

    • Reps have adopted our new sales methodology quicker and with more rigour meaning we are more successful in the field.
    • We’ve been able to create scale to drive adoption. Without technologies like Qstream, we would never be able to meet our enablement and growth targets.
    • More reps talking a consistent message means our customer experience has improved at the sales front. This allows us to differentiate versus the competition and ensures we win more often.
