Playbooks does a great job being able to be tailored to your specific organization or business. Playbooks does a great job of having a very friendly user experience. Read full review This product gives me the liberty to very easily and freely navigate all things on my own, which does not require many skills to start working. This product gives us the leverage of creating our own tailored and personalized templates for our teams in just a matter of minutes. This program is so automated that it performs everything on its own from LinkedIn to email search, to even booking meetings. I found the onboarding process pretty great and efficient. I am really happy with the overall customer support. They are some of the nicest people I have met who are there to willingly help me at any time of need and problem. Their usability is also hands down very good. However, I find their user interface to be slightly less user-friendly, so there is some degree of scope in the improvement of their user intuitiveness and user-friendliness.

The ease of use and overall usability is fantastic in the sense that it's pretty straightforward once you get enough repetitions in the tool. I also like all of the videos and resources available if support is needed

Read full review Alternatives Considered The Insidesales Playbooks is by far more intuitive and organized than other programs I have used in the past. Unfortunately I have not had experience with other products that are available out there. I would hope we will see more improvements from the ISDC tool as we all use it more and provide feedback
