    This is best suited when there is territory management at the field or rep level. One can easily distribute the area/ locality, balance revenue, and optimize sales/outcome. However, this may be less appropriate for organizations that operate entirely on remote sales or for those where geographic location does not matter.

    In my opinion, the most valuable characteristic of SPO is that by answering simple questions a very complex product can be configured; therefore the scope of delivery is defined very well. In addition, SPO has great flexibility to manage prices and costs. However, SPO is configurator of parts that allows incorporating basic design rules for their selection. SPO is not a optimised for developing complicated engineering design rules.

    Cons
    Salesforce
    • They just restructured their pricing model and we are ending our contract because of it - you have to pay for 10 users.
    • The crossover with accounts and contacts are hard to map.
    • The window sizes when navigating the maps are difficult to work with.

    Usability
    Salesforce
    It aligns well with business needs. We clearly get productivity gain, and its seamless integration with Salesforce makes things easier. The ability to visualize things and performance geographically helps us to make better decisions. It also saves us lots of time and effort and increases efficiency.

    Support was comical. It was barely available and the few times I did get help the language barrier was extraordinarily problematic

    The previous product we used was developed by ourselves so my experience is very limited. I can say that having a software like SPO we can configure the product without any programming experience and this makes things faster and better. Moreover, I can say that MS Office compatibility is a strong point.

    • For the first time, we were able to see donors on a map which was life-changing.
    • Its allowed us to target donors on trips and other email campaigns when we haven’t been able to before.
