Absolutely the best for managing customer references/ advocacy. Comprehensive functionality and attentive and responsive support model, and they don't charge extra to use value-add functionality, such as the automated check-in on reference status, contacts, etc. They know this field and need thoroughly and have thought of everything. Native to Salesforce streamlined deployment and up-leveled cross-company support, and also were my full partner in educating me on how to use Salesforce reporting, which is a valuable professional advantage.

This scenario is true, especially for SAAS industries. Often times we focus on giving rewards and incentives to either employees or customers. But, we forget one another important segment of people i.e. the vendors/channel partners. Running channel incentive programs is a great way to increase sales of your software. Linking gift cards with X% of sales is a great way to keep partners motivated to sell your product more than your competitor's.

Cons
  • Ability to pre-populate a 'win wire' with deal info from SF. I believe this is being developed now.
  • Standard organization of 'attributes' so it's easier to break out that report column into per-attribute columns.
  • I like that they have an active Trello board for user suggestions and incorporate requests with each update.

  • Difficult to customize as per requirement.
  • High price is a worrying factor.
  • Lack of help desk support in my experience.

Alternatives Considered
We also evaluated ReferenceView from ROInnovation/ Upland. ReferenceEdge from Point of Reference was lower cost for complete functionality, plus their ongoing support model is second to none. SlapFive has great video functionality, which we may use at some point, but isn't a customer reference/ advocacy management platform. And its comprehensive marketing functionality was more than our team needed. ReferenceView was a failure, unfortunately. Way more expensive. limited functionality, and an abysmal support model.
