    We chose to work with the Basecamp product and along with it came Highrise. They're a great 37 signals package together. So we chose to work with Highrise because of Basecamp

    Observe.ai
    Observe.ai is incredibly well
    suited for uncovering trends. The accuracy of their transcripts paired with how
    easy it is for any user to find insights helps us tap of data you would think would
    be impossible to get, or at least in a very slow and manual process (listening
    to call samples, 1 call at a time it’s a thing of the past now).

    This simplicity of use and the power
    of their machine learning and AI applications have proven to be particularly
    helpful for us to boost our agent performance and training.

    Observe.ai is still at the early stages
    of real-time agent assist, so I would not recommend it right now for that type
    of application.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Easy batch upload of new contacts - if you gathered names and contact info for a bunch of people at an event or conference or what have you, put it in a spreadsheet and upload it for easy and efficient adding to the database.
    • Simple communication and outreach tracking - each user has an individualized dropbox email address; you can BCC:, CC:, or forward an email to or from a client or contact, and Highrise automatically associates and records that email with the contact in the database.
    • Task assignments - users can create and task assignments associated with specific contacts (ie - Send Suzy J. a gift box on Oct 1; Follow Marla K. and Billy Z. on Twitter & Facebook; Get an updated address from Nathan R.)
    • Tags - easily create lists of contacts who fit certain needs (I need a: food blogger, in TX, who has a Facebook page - we have "food blogger", "TX," and "Facebook" tags in our system) that is then exportable; also useful for knowing the important associations of a particular contact.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Im actually pretty happy with the system as it is. The best aspect of Highrise is that it is very easy to work with - no need to struggle with manuals and lengthy training.
    • Not really a problem I suppose but I pay for Highrise as part of a suite which includes other products - Basecamp, Backpack and Campfire. It would be nice to see more integration between these products.

    Their UI is very easy to navigate and understand. Most features are easily accessible and they seem well balanced and connected with each other. Users at our company have been trained with good proficiency levels in just a few hours, and high proficiency can be achieved in a week or less if you spend the time to practice.

    Highrise is simple to use and is run by the same folks who build Basecamp and 37Signals. We wanted something that would do the essentials without the cumbersome bells and whistles. Salesforce is almost too complicated if you don't have a whole sales operation and analytics division. One day we will probably outgrow Highrise, but not yet.
