Salesforce Revenue Cloud vs. Zoom Revenue Accelerator

CPQ is great if you can devote the time to it to make it perfect for your sales team. It requires a lot of time and energy to build it out and customize, but once that's done it is one of the most powerful tools you will have. Having an expert in CPQ is really helpful as well.

Training on key features is difficult, so adoption of the platform is not where we would like it to be after 6 months of being deployed. Our team works primarily within Salesforce, so it would be helpful to have additional focus on adding ZRA components to the Salesforce managed package. Would love to see on overall customer summary for example. Rather than having to go to each conversation to get details of the customer journey. The price point for ZRA is quite high compared to meetings & phone so I would like to see continuous growth/new features being released to justify the spend. With ZRA, the sales leaders can share tactics and use cases on how they utilize ZRA to manage their individual teams. The analytics easily shows team members who are exceeding or who may need additional support based on (overall customer sentiment & engagement).

• Salesforce CPQ is great for being able to quickly and easily build product bundles in an intuitive and visually appealing way.
• The product catalog and ability to easily add fields to product records makes setting up products really simple and adds a lot of value to reporting within Salesforce.
• Basic product and configuration rules are very easy to understand and set up.

• Our Salesforce is very messy, which tells me it's not super easy to clean up.
• I always have a really hard time removing a contacts from an account - it seems like you can't simply remove the relationship so we have lots of people named DO NOT CONTACT or things of that nature.
• Sometimes when saving it doesn't seem like things actually save.

• Zoom IQ's graphics need improvement to be more intuitive.
• Zoom IQ does not allow you to analyze several voices simultaneously. It becomes very complicated to expand the conversations to more students.
• Personalized feedback does not always respond correctly to what has been said. There is room for improvement in audio and voice analysis.

The company is very easy to work with and is growing by leaps and bounds. We do not anticipate switching vendors anytime in the near future

It has certainly been useful, but now it overlaps with other tools we are using so probably we will have to be harder on ROI here

After the initial set up, end users who are not the most tech savy are generally finding it easy to navigate

Once you're through the setup it couldn't be easier. For our client facing team members it was very much an experience of. Today you're using "App A" and tomorrow log into Zoom and you're all setup. Zoom Revenue Accelerator is effortless for an end user to pick up and start using. But the setup is where you need help to understand. Various things with where recordings are stored, how calls are routed, and even who can access what phone numbers and recordings can be challenging to setup without help. And a number of docs aren't as up to date as they could be, given the Zoom UI can change so rapidly. Once they solve the sprawling admin side of the product, it'll be a 10 out of 10.

There have been some issues with multi-year pricing of certain products and services which we have been assured will be resolved but I guess are still underway, the support team apart from this has not been needed much and in the rare scenarios, it has been needed the resolutions of conflicts has been prompt and quick, so the overall support would have my high regards for being so helpful and customer-oriented so as to assure good performance of their toolset and customer satisfaction.

This has better product capabilities like Manage Order, Mobile, pricing module, select product offers service channel. What I like best is the integration with Salesforce, the ability to create and connect opportunities and there is a lot of flexibility in this tool. It has a very user-friendly platform & navigation across pages is the best Also I like how fast I can create quotes. I also like how detailed you can get with reporting. Any possible metric we can think of can be tracked, measured, and integrated.

Zoom fit into our workflow better than the rest. While all the other tools certainly worked well, and could do the job, we felt the most comfortable with Zoom. In particular the ease of use. Specifically, at the time we were assessing the tools Aircall was a product we had used for a number of years, but call quality was not something that came often. And we'd have as many as 35% of calls drop due to connection issues. (Not an issue with Zoom, call quality is >98%). Dialpad was also one we extensively tested and trialed. It felt far better suited to a team larger then us, and one with a broader Support function then our initial use case. The Salesforce offering just felt the most expensive for the least value. While it would work probably the best with our CRM, it was clunky to operate from an end user POV.

• Easy access to reporting on closed-won, closed-lost, and open quotes.
• Accuracy in data referenced in a quote - it's typically accurate as it is pulled directly from opportunity, looking up to associated subscription start/end dates, etc..
• We lose valuable time in creating quotes ourselves. Quotes were requested and created through sales ops previously, sales did not have access to the excel templates used to generate quotes.

• Conversation Intelligence Software has had a positive impact on my career in sales. I like how you can see data regarding how your conversations went.
• In general, Zoom calls, where the video is turned on, have helped me increase the number of deals I close.
• With my team, it is easy to share a clip of the video I want my manager to view.
