    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

    If you have reps and need territories assigned geographically then AlignStar is a great option. While we do not have reps in the field, I can see how powerful it can be in aligning territories not only based on estimated revenue or some other metric but also with rep location and driving in mind.

    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.

    • Detailed label options by ZIP code. I know the immediate impact of moving a single ZIP code.
    • Territory Optimizer. If we are having trouble figuring out the correct configuration for a particular area, its helpful to see what the program suggests. It may come up with something we hadn't thought of yet.
    • Custom layers. I am able to mark the previous territory boundaries, so if we want to undo a change, I know exactly where we started from.

    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)

    • Easier functionality to label the territories. We currently still use the desktop app and labels for any feature are rather small and not intuitive.
    • Speed of the application. The desktop version we currently use tends to be a bit slower and runs into the "application not responding" issue quite often.
    • Ability for the desktop version to automatically update Salesforce. It would be nice if I could have Alignstar update a field on an account record in Salesforce when I make updates in Alignstar.

    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.

    Javelin is another tool that we have used to assist us with territory alignment. Great tool. AlignStar is on par with Javelin.
