I feel fully supported by their team, but having to keep a PC to manage content on the backend is really a deal-breaker. I'd rather be able to work in GoogleSlides on a Mac than have to work in PowerPoint on a PC.

The fact that I know, without a doubt, that we now have a single source of truth that our sales and marketing teams can go to and have direct access to the most recent (and verified) documentation to use solves a major pain point that has been plaguing us for years... gone are the days of hunting through external HDD folders, bugging co-workers, or trying to find PDFs in buried SharePoint folders. With other features like content sales stage mapping, native SalesForce integrations, and the ability to set expiration dates on the content so teams can review and update as needed. Seismic is in the process of transforming how we view and utilize our content. The analytics behind the tool are extremely helpful as well... from the pre-made dashboards for reporting to the ability to notify users when their content is opened and viewed, this tool has seen nothing but rave reviews from our team!

Seismic is always great for us when we are communicating with potential customers. It's awesome to see who is interacting with our material the most. We don't use it much with our current customers.

If you do not have a centralized place for content, Seismic can absolutely help manage this for you. Also, if you're unsure of what content is being leveraged or sent by your teams - having the ability to track this information is huge so you can work with marketing/sales enablement to create relevant content for your buyers.

This is well suited as a CMS and not an LMS. We still use an LMS for our rep learning and have a Seismic integration with it. Seismic is meant to be used to store content, send it to clients/prospects, get analytics and collaborate when building/editing decks. It's great for sales and marketing teams.

Seismic has been a game-changer for us. I'd recommend it to any marketing team who is getting constant requests for the latest and greatest content. We love how easy Seismic is to use and update and how it's customizable for our sales team (LiveDocs). Having a single source of truth for all our marketing materials and being able to easily update our LiveDocs with one single data source is priceless.

It shines the most when used for LiveDoc functionality within Salesforce. The analytics are also pretty good and it can suggest content to keep or remove. Gmail integration is also nice! It could use some improvement when it comes to the organization on the content management side.

Seismic is well suited within larger organizations that need to manage their documents that may be scattered amongst several different repositories. Situations where Seismic might be less appropriate, are smaller companies that might not have issues with content management or where materials are not sensitive to the audience.

Seismic has been a game-changer for reducing the back-and-forth between sales and marketing on where and how to access certain pieces of content. Now, everyone knows to leverage Seismic as the first means of discovery which has alleviated many headaches and has also increased the number of content pieces delivered to prospects (by 90%). As our content consumption has increased, so have our view rates (by about 40%). We have also seen the time spent on the content jump from <1 minute to upward of 5+ minutes.

Seismic is great for a prospect you are unsure about. I used it for assessing their level of interest. I can look at which pages they're spending more time reading, which helps me strategically position follow up calls. It's difficult to gauge who is reading your document in Seismic. For example, I've had live sends sent around to multiple staff members within the same organization. The LiveSend summary only shows that email address I sent the Seismic to, but doesn't know users it has been forwarded to. I'm not sure if this is possible but in a perfect world, it would be great to see who is being forwarded a LiveSend.

Good for a sales group that needs to have content available to send to prospects. Very valuable for those who are looking for a vendor to support them and provide service above and beyond what was signed on the dotted line. I would recommend this to any mid-sized company as long as they are willing to admin the content that is in the platform.

Extremely well suited for organizing collateral for quick reference. Given that it is searchable and also filtered, the time to find each piece of information that I or my clients need is lowered significantly, and the tracking and reporting capabilities around the LiveSend features work extremely well. It has been able to drive results for me as I know what matters to prospects, how engaged they are with the collateral, and where I need to start my sales conversations. The integrations within Salesforce.com and Outlook are both great for streamlining process work as well, and all of it adds up to consistent delivery and performance for outreach and sales.

We have a plethora of content available to individuals. Seismic allows you to segment content by type and use, then easily supports access to key content without having to put in much effort to do so. The ability to track when the recipient reads your content and how they interact with the content is pure gold!

It is great for managing content in a set format which doesn't change from period to period. For instance we use it primarily to update our presentation decks in which the data is laid out the same way each quarter. In a situation where the structure of the content is constantly changing, some of the efficiencies may be lost.

I can only recommend based on my experience as I'm not familiar with Seismic's other uses cases if there are any outside of providing a platform for housing documents. But for this particular use case that it's deployed as at my organization it works well, is easy to use and is a dramatic improvement over our prior solution.

Seismic is really helpful when reaching out to a prospect who requests additional information but doesn't currently have time for a conversation. I'll send them a bunch of different links in Seismic, and then I receive a notification when they view the content so that I can be prepared for our follow up conversation and can steer the conversation toward their specific interests.

I believe that in any sales organizations, Seismic would be a great tool. It has so much functionality that allows me as a salesperson to choose from a variety of tools to accomplish the same outcome. I have opened my way of approaching prospects to a whole new way, as sending good material and tracking it has increased efficiency.
