If you have reps and need territories assigned geographically then AlignStar is a great option. While we do not have reps in the field, I can see how powerful it can be in aligning territories not only based on estimated revenue or some other metric but also with rep location and driving in mind.

  • Detailed label options by ZIP code. I know the immediate impact of moving a single ZIP code.
  • Territory Optimizer. If we are having trouble figuring out the correct configuration for a particular area, its helpful to see what the program suggests. It may come up with something we hadn't thought of yet.
  • Custom layers. I am able to mark the previous territory boundaries, so if we want to undo a change, I know exactly where we started from.

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.

  • Easier functionality to label the territories. We currently still use the desktop app and labels for any feature are rather small and not intuitive.
  • Speed of the application. The desktop version we currently use tends to be a bit slower and runs into the "application not responding" issue quite often.
  • Ability for the desktop version to automatically update Salesforce. It would be nice if I could have Alignstar update a field on an account record in Salesforce when I make updates in Alignstar.

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

Javelin is another tool that we have used to assist us with territory alignment. Great tool. AlignStar is on par with Javelin.
