The team at ClearSlide was more responsive and did a better job of articulating our needs and requirements. We also felt the UI of ClearSlide was far superior to DocSend. All in all, we are very satisfied with ClearSlide as well as our account and support teams. There were some tactics employed by the DocSend team that we did not feel were professional.

They all have different use cases. Go To Meeting and Go To Webinar are the best for large groups, but has its limitations. Google Hangouts is great for internal or less formal meetings, but can be glitchy. Zoom is a platform most clients are familiar with and rarely has tech issues.

ClearSlide is amazing for the ease of sharing decks across the org and the ability to pull slides from other users decks to integrate into your own. The tracking features are a gamechanger to provide insight to when and how many times a client has viewed material. I do typically have to create decks in one of the other platforms and then upload but the ease of adding content and hiding or showing specific slides for a specific client makes it a great tool.

It is easier to see the full spate of files with Clearslide vs. Dropbox, and each slide shows individually in Clearslide vs. other products that just provide a file in name only. In addition, Clearslide provides direct intel on how customers view and interact with the content you send them, which other products don't provide.

ClearSlide was far and away, the best choice for our organization. Since we were using Google Docs and emails before signing up for ClearSlide, it was an easy choice. We reviewed a few competitors but were sold pretty quickly. Our head of Sales Planning had also used ClearSlide at a previous job to great success, so we moved very quickly.

ClearSlide is better than Groove but it also provides different values. Groove is good for clicks but ClearSlide is better to determine if your content is useful and relevant to the client.

ClearSlide was far and away the best in terms of analytics that it provided. We really wanted to see where we were losing prospects. It is also easy to use, and easy to share screen. The issue with us became that we could not allow prospects to use browsers other than Google Chrome, because it would require downloads in order for them to share screen. UberConference, Webex and Zoom require similar downloads, but UberConference offers a free option.

I like SalesLoft and Yesware's ability to alert me when an email is opened, however, they can't say how long someone looks at any attachments. This gives ClearSlide the step up in that category. SalesLoft also has very shoddy reporting and can't differentiate between an open and a forwarded email. ClearSlide had better reporting mechanisms.

If you are looking for a true sales enablement platform that improves the efficiency and effectiveness of your sales staff, curates content based on a seller's deal stage, and provides actionable analytics and intelligence, then I would go with Seismic/SAVO. That is the only comprehensive platform that solves the sales enablement challenge and can scale to meet the needs of both small and large organizations.

CS is perfect for smaller organizations that need conference/video presentation capabilities and want to place sales content/collateral in a system with a decent search capability. If the organization cares about tracking client engagement data for future use, then CS will do a fine job. I think the CS platform is great for smaller organizations that want to scale quickly and need an affordable point solution.

The rest of the applications that I have mentioned are great for storing content and letting users search for it. They are really on repositories.

They each have their own unique benefits. Clearslide bundles a lot of offerings in one tool. Email tracking, screen sharing, and meeting scheduler. It does each of these things well, but don't have all the features that you would expect in one tool that specializes in one thing.

We actually chose to pick up SalesLoft to do a lot of the things ClearSlide can do or said they could do. For example, with SalesLoft, not only can we create and store email templates, but we can blast them out to a mass amount of contacts. The data provided on email replies, click rates, time spent on email, etc is detailed and a lot better than the information provided by ClearSlide. SalesLoft also has a lot of call logging features, allowing sales reps to work directly out of the solution for most of their sales activities. When it comes to SalesLoft vs. ClearSlide, I believe SalesLoft wins that battle

ClearSlide stacks up to be as good as any of the aforementioned tools. We selected Clearslide because of its ease of use and implementation. It did not take our team too long to get acclimated with how ClearSlide works and how they would be using it, allowing them to generate more meetings and more revenue.

I find Clearslide to be much more user-friendly and the login process for the viewers to be very very intuitive. Other products make the login process and access code entry difficult. It was about 50/50 if all the viewers would be able to even get connected with other products. Clearslide has made connectivity a breeze.

I'm not overly familiar with Skype's presentation capabilities but we utilize it for internal communications (instant messaging) and occasionally video conferencing. Not sure if Clearslide has these capabilities or if Skype has the presentation capabilities of ClearSlide, but this has been my experience with my company. I think we choose ClearSlide over Skype because it is a cost-effective way for many users to share materials/present to prospective buyers as well as houses content that can be easily shared.

ClearSlide is much more robust. While webex and Skype for biz are both great for giving presentations, neither provide the email or reporting tools, nor the content management system that is present with ClearSlide.

I've sometime used GoToMeeting as an alternative when setting up demonstrations. It's far more complicated and the user experience is much more antiquated. Google Hangouts also works for online meetings but also harder for prospects to figure out and the video chat is unnecessary.
