    Clari
    This is the only forecasting tool you need. Best for CSMs renewal forecasting. Can even forecast churn as far out as you'd like. Example: we forecast 3 quarters out (even if it's just a rough guess). Helps ELT determine OKRs for H1 & H2. Best for Sales for net new opps or existing customer expansions. We're able to segment and see that mid market is closing more deals in a specific tool than enterprise and can segment down by industry or AE/CSM to see what's working and what's not

    Pros
    Clari
    • Creates call summary and add them in created tags to help us to targeted monitoring.
    • Help us create battlecards that agents can use on live calls.
    • Help us create library and playbook of good and bad calls for training.
    • Help us provide a call overview by team.

    • I can easily see if there is communication occurring between the sales rep and the appropriate contacts at the prospect company. I can quickly see if the communication stream is a mutual back and forth conversation or if it is mostly a one-way stream from the rep to the prospect. If it is mostly a one-way conversation, this tells me something isn't right about this opportunity.
    • The system looks at this communication and using AI, it highlights if it interprets any negative sentiment from the prospect allowing the rep or the sales manager to dig deeper into the opportunity and see if they can discover the reason for this negative response and correct it if possible.
    • The software "learns" from previous successful deals we have closed and uses this information to alert us if a deal has been in a particular sales stage for longer than similar deals. And it learns who is the business decision maker or technical decision maker is for previously closed deals and points it out to the rep that they should make contact with this same position in the target company.
    • The software coaches sales reps on actions that should be taken, based on our sales process, at each stage of the sales cycle. And it does so without feeling like its looking over your shoulder, by recommending the rep send a "confirmation of needs" email once the deal is moved into the 30% stage.

    Cons
    Clari
    • Occasionally it can be difficult to save specifically formatted criteria views
    • The QBR dashboard has a lot of information on it, would be helpful if that was simplified to show what is most important
    • The Salesforce integration is not immediate, so when updating opps it can take Clari 10-15 minutes to accurately reflect (but honestly still works great)

    Clari
    I will renew my Clari Subscription for many reasons. 1. Streamlines Sales - Clari automates many manual tasks like note-taking and transcripts. This frees my sales team so they can focus on closing deals. 2. Increased customer retention - Clari helps me identify potential churn risks and take proactive measures. 3. AI-Driven Insights

    Clari
    Clari is very willing to jump in and build out use cases. They will work to do anything for you. That said, their follow up is not great. We have had to reach out for follow up several times on a project, which is still not complete. I wish they taught us how to complete what we want, rather than doing it in house for us

    Clari
    At the time of selection, Clari was a more mature product than Xactly Forecasting. We did not want to experience growing pains with Xactly. Pipeline Inspection from SFDC was just becoming available. We had already selected Clari before we learned about Pipeline Inspection.

    • Positive. We have better insights into our deals. We can see when deals are getting bogged down, or when a deal may not close, even before the sales rep recognizes this.
    • It makes it much easier to accurately call your monthly and quarterly forecasts.
    • Our sales managers use it for their weekly one-on-one meetings with their rep and virtually no additional work is required of the rep or manager.
