Pipedrive vs. Xactly Forecasting®

Pipedrive's lead management features are top-notch, particularly the ability to automate email correspondence and receive alerts when necessary. It has an excellent pipeline, opportunity management, and sales automation without coding: —Exceptional cost-effectiveness. —User-friendliness. —Usability. —Top-notch search filter. However, its speed could be increased because adding new actions requires numerous taps and swipes.

I think TopOPPS is better suited for the larger sales team with shorter sales cycles. We have very long sales cycles and we have not truly seen it impact how we do business in terms of sales. I also think it's better suited for teams that have a true sales manager monitoring the reps and opps.

• Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
• The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
• The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed

• Provides a quick detailed over view of our pipeline. This will help us identify deals that need attention and to maintain a healthy pipeline
• being able to view our pipeline is also a motivational tool to help us drive success
• an aligned forecast helps us to be more confident in our sales numbers as well as providing more accurate information to our management team.

• Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
• Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
• Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

Incentivized

• Integrate with SFDC.
• The alerts need to be changed.
• Chat bot needs improving.

Unless I find something better...

There is a learning curve that caused a slow adoption but overall the UI looks great and the support is helpful when there is an issue that you need to be addressed. The marketplace integrations (developed by Pipedrive) could definitely use some work as they're not as seamless as we'd hoped for!

I have had an excellent experience so far with Xactly Forecasting®.

Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

Experiment is the only way to start

The reporting tools with Pipedrive are immensely more advanced and customizable than Clio Grow. We are able to adjust and tweak the reports to make sense for our firm specifically whereas with Clio Grow, you were sort of stuck with the default reports. Pipedrive beats Clio Grow hands down.

Xactly Forecasting has a smart AI tool, this is what puts them ahead of the competition. With their smooth interaction with other apps and programs, it makes it seamless when using other apps and programs. I find that when it uses its forecasting skill it shows us exactly what we need to see for the future.

• Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
• We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
• Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
