Bigtincan vs. Scratchpad

BTC is well suited for a mobile environment where information needs to be pushed continuously to a remote or field based work force. It is not appropriate for organizations that congregate in an office or have heavy use of desktops and laptops; there are other applications that are better suited for this environment.

I have over 250 accounts in my name, and it can be difficult to prioritize and find notes on past conversations my colleagues may have had. Scratchpad makes it super easy to reference past notes and add new ones to organize my book of business and make the best use of my time.

Great functionality and a great intuitive tool

Diligent [Boards] was less user friendly than the Hub, and certain security and annotation features were lacking.

Scratchpad is just a much more enjoyable way of interacting with Salesforce for the features it currently supports. It's not an alternative to Salesforce, it's an alternative UX for certain daily activities in SF, and it's great at that.
