Saleo vs. Storylane

Saleo is well suited for SaaS businesses who want their SolCon and Sales teams to demo out of a real production account, not a fake one. With Saleo our commercial sales team can easily select an Industry template and go...literally no prep to show the product with industry data. Our SolCon team can build out a custom demo with the customer's data in a few minutes. There is also a sharing feature, so if someone built something cool they can share it with everyone. Also, our product marketing team has started using it for screenshots and videos.

Basically if you want to provide a walk-through of a website, then Storylane is well suited. I can't think of a scenario where it is less appropriate unless you are trying to use it for something it isn't intended for. I'm not sure if it will work with a WASM page, so if you are working with WASM, you should at least test that out.

• Creation of custom demo's by Sales Engineers in minutes
• Reducing prep time for demos. Click on a template and go.

• Allows you to easily grab the visual assets to create a walk through.
• The analytics that are integrated give you a very specific view of engagement.
• Even the most complex web pages can be saved in Storylane, definitely a robust engine.

• When we first rolled out, it was hard to changing a data point in multiple places quickly. This was just fixed by the roll out of personalization strings.
• We have very complex tables. At first the table editor needed some help handling the nesting. The newest release of Saleo fixed the issue we had.

• The relationship between "pages" and "steps" can get very confusing if you are having to do a mass revamp of a saved story.
• Some of the interface is less than intuitive than it could be.
• I'm not a fan of mouse over features, I realize it is a modern metaphor, but it's a bad one.

Our CRO did not like using video recordings. He felt that would backfire on us. Our CTO would not allow us to make a copy of our application or it's data, so most of these solutions were eliminated. Saleo is the only solution that lets you demo out of a production account with no videos or copies of your data

They are both good products and pretty similar. Navattic definitely had some strong features, but with Storylane, they were incredibly responsive to requests for help and feature requests and it just "looked" better. Storylane also "felt" better in terms of working with it. There were some design flow decisions made with Navattic that I found to be a bit counterintuitive.

Incentivized

• We've reduced prep time for demo's by hours per demo
• Our commercial sales (velocity business) now demo's on their own with no help from SolCon
• For large enterprise deals, we create a custom demo every time now. That was not possible before Saleo

• We were getting thousands of engagements on our Story's.
• We are able to use them as an educational resource when potential clients asked a question.
• The SDR's were able to use them as assets to create interest.
