Introhive vs. Shared Contacts for Gmail

Introhive is great as a sales enablement tool. It helps to track relationships, especially when going after a new prospect. We spend a lot less time updating information in our CRM. I like that data is real-time and syncs in the background, making sales relationships easier to manage and pinpoint.

Shared Contacts for Gmail is well suited for organizations that generate and coordinate long term partnerships and that have a big remote working component as a main form or working. It is less appropriate with organizations dedicated to sales and performance based ways of working. I would recommend it for medium size organizations.

• The login URL is tricky for users to remember.
• Smartsync can be tricky and not work at times.
• There are potential data concerns with personal information/contacts being synced if you don't opt-out.

• I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
• My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

We love the tool but it has gone way up in price from when we first implemented it

My company used Zendesk Sell for a while, but the profiles weren't as manageable and easy accessed as Shared Contacts [for Gmail.] It resulted easier to update the contact information within Shared Contacts [for Gmail] and maintain the contact flow, than updating in Zendesk, and then manually go into gmail and continue the conversation. As well we don't use Shared Contacts [for Gmail] alone. We do accompany it with an internal operations system, were we manage the clients profile, but the combination between the two is perfect.
