    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.

    Zinrelo
    Zinrelo is the perfect platform to reward frequent buyers, achieve larger AOV’s, and encourage your customers to become your marketing team. Because Zinrelo was not appropriate for our B2B relationships, direct integration with our e-commerce platforms would have allowed us to restrict its use to only eligible customers via the e-commerce customer type.

    Zinrelo
    • Customer service is fantastic.
    • They are always asking for feedback, so that they can understand what is working well for us, and what isn't working well.
    • They are pro-active and frequently offer suggestions to us, for promotions that they think would be worthwhile, and help us to keep shoppers coming back.

    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.

    Zinrelo
    • Though perfectly functional, Zinrelo’s interface seems slightly dated and could use a visual update.
    • Zinrelo should develop direct integrations with BigCommerce and NetSuite, so all Zinrelo account management can be handled within those platforms.
    • Zinrelo should allow for custom reasons for the addition of points. Sometimes the the established reasons do not address the situation, and the flexibility to add custom reasons with reduce or eliminate the need to add notes to transactions.

    Alternatives Considered
    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.

    We also looked at SweetTooth, prior to choosing Zinrelo. Zinrelo had a much smoother integration with our Netsuite System, however.
