    Point of Reference
    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.

    • Create and manage a detailed plan for a marketing campaign: when you create detailed project plans and then task and role levels, SAS Marketing Operations Management (SAS MOM) makes it easier to coordinate between projects with very little, if any, issues.
    • Share, reuse and leverage existing marketing assets: Like some marketing tools, SAS MOM allows you to create and reuse assets across various channels.
    • Manage project collaboration and execution: You are allowed to set up a workflow that helps move processes along without having to manage each step of the project.

    Cons
    Point of Reference
    • 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.

    • It would be good to have a Storyboard feature to summarize and tie together some of the dashboard metrics.
    • Missing feature: Hubspot CRM integration.

    Point of Reference
    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.
