Pros
- Listening to customers - very responsive customer success team.
- Working with customers to build the most predictable model.
- Easy to set up and get useful reporting quickly.
Cons
- A little more explanation of how different factors can affect the model in terms of the customer objectives - they've really listened here and have really focussed on the changes we needed to make.
- Update specific fields/features e.g. multi-currency support (now done), non-confusing field names (being released), custom fiscal years for reporting (coming I believe)
Likelihood to Recommend
1. Be sure to specify and understand the impact on your model when looking at volume versus value factors.
2. Ask all your potential vendors about set-up costs and time.
3. Understand, with any predictive model, how it will affect both marketing and sales - a predictive tool should bring the two closer together.
4. Remember - its predictive, not all-knowing and brief/train your teams accordingly.
