Ontraport vs. SAP Sales Cloud

Starting a business you have enough stuff to deal with. Ontraport takes the headache out of the tech side. Everything works together and you don't ever get left alone to figure things out. I would beg any new business to invest in Ontraport. Or if you want to grow and scale an existing business it would be great. I think it more for service-based business.

1. Better understanding of customer choice and sales insights. 2. High chance that we can convert the lead into sales as SAP analyzes the customer's need and behavior. 3. As it analyzes the data behind the scenes, a better price deal closing is possible, as it gives that level of insight.

• Campaign builder. The visual campaign builder is very easy to use and feels pretty modern.
• CRM: customizing what type of data I'd like WHERE has been great. Custom fields, being able to move them around.
• Task Management: one of the things that set ONTRAPORT apart from other similar automation platforms is the tasks. You can trigger automated tasks that cause your salespeople to take action, and the tasks stay in the queue until the salesperson takes that action and checks it off. This is great for putting together a web of accountability.

• Help sales teams decide based on relevant data
• Provide a framework to guide sales teams on activities such as status updates, customer success, sales qualification, etc
• Reduce manual work by predictive analysis, that is, by understanding when a template can be helpful, updating a manager on a finished task, etc

• Ontraport is a very powerful and robust system capable of a great many things. The time it takes to get to know the program is a little intimidating. Don't get me wrong, you can get started right away, but a year in I know I am still not making the most of all Ontraport can do. I am UK based so access to their advanced trainings means international travel, maybe some online events could be initiated.

• One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud
• While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes.
• The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required.

My client was already using Ontraport and had a decent investment in the tool. As soon as we turn around the revenue situation with my client's products, we will be ditching OAP immediately, despite the significant re-implementation cost we are going to face moving to a new system. I am part of a high-end, professional marketing group, and the overwhelming sentiment with these other professionals is that one should run away from this as fast as humanly possible. I thought their words were just ungrounded opinion, and I deeply regret that I did not heed them more closely before sinking still more time and effort into OAP.

I know what SAP CRM can do in the future. We are very happy with the product and think it is a great choice for both SAP ERP users and even those who do not use other SAP products. We have both Salesforce and SAP CRM, and we feel that Salesforce is a good product for a few years, but SAP CRM is a more fully-featured product and is a better choice for complex organizations capable of running installed software of this complexity. It is often just a question of budget.

The software is just easy to use. The UI is fairly intuitive. The help system is pretty good. I find it is pretty quick to get my work completed and if I don't document my things well, I can always figure out how I did something when I need to make changes. When I have a problem the tech support is easy to deal with and when things need to get escalated they are resolved quickly.

In short, SAP CRM is a complete service that will help improve marketing strategy and productivity. It covers various topics, from big data analytics to resource management and housing sales data. SAP CRM has a long list of features and can do them all.

Product was mostly available. A couple accessibility issues did exist when sending API calls, and there was either no response, or a delayed response.

Most of the time OP runs fine. But I've had to submit more support tickets this year do to messages, seq.'s or rules not running correctly. Also experienced slow response times moving in and around OP.

The techs are reasonably savvy, highly courteous and want to do right by their customers. Unfortunately, the product they are supporting is so deeply flawed that there's only so much they can do when your legitimate business requirements are simply not supported.

SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

I went to their Ontrapalooza event, and it opened my mind as to how the software can be used.

Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.

If you know your business, ONTRAPORT is easy

I would rate the implementation a 7. While the process overall was successful, there were challenges related to data migration, integration with other systems, and initial user adoption. However, the support from SAP during the implementation phase was helpful, and we were able to resolve the major issues as the process progressed.

We used it because it was recommended by other coaching companies. It meets well the need we have which is mostly about creating different type of access based on when the clients joined our program. You can easily create automations and rules to be notified when clients evolve in the program. It allows us to send them our messages at the right moment.

One of the most outstanding features of SAP Sales Cloud is its easy integration with our existing SAP ecosystem. This was essential because we used SAS/4HANA in our operations. Its ability to have a single platform that easily integrates sales data with other company operations was a huge advantage for us. In contrast, some of the other systems we explored required significant changes or integration work, which would have raised our overall costs and level of complexity.

With the new lower priced options, it's now easier for newer businesses to start with a more basic version and upgrade as they need more features.

I choose this rating because the sales and supply chain network has been strengthened by the use of this product. Sap Sales cloud has seamlessly unified the backend business processes into more transparent effective ones.The customer satisfaction have also increased with better customer collaboration and relationship.The vendor management process has also been significantly impacted and all for good
