Terminus ABM Platform vs. WideOrbit

I really love working with the team. If you are looking to get more targeted in your advertising approach, leverage intent data & have your sales team utilize this data for a more personalized experience - that is the best-case scenario. You do need to invest quite a bit into your advertising to be able to gather data & see [the] influence, so if your AOV would be impacted drastically by this cost, I would not recommend using the advertising experiences and chat experiences until you can invest more.

WideOrbit has the lead in sales reporting and account management. Once you get your templates created, it is easy to switch between accounts, agencies, reps, etc to drill down to the analytics you need. WideOrbit offers greater flexibility than its competitor when comparing features to support station management.

Furthermore, you can personalize the content to target different audiences based of the sender group. Example: customer content Sigstr belongs to support, while marketing new business content belongs to sales.
• Announcements. Product enhancements, Company news etc. You can use Sigstr to promote general announcements relevant to the audience.

• WideOrbit does a good job of helping to maintain revenues associated with TV and digital sales.
• WideOrbit also does a good job of allowing different people to manipulate necessary things to make sure dollars are accounted for and spots air.
• WideOrbit is fairly user-friendly, and when it does get hung up, they provide excellent customer service support.

• They recently purchased some new solutions that are being integrated into the platform so once that is completed it will be a much more robust solution.
• I think updating what is considered high value vs brand awareness on the spike report could be a little more seamless.
• For Salesforce integration, Terminus information unfortunately doesn't pull in historically, it just shows what has happened since the integration started. I think it's unfortunate because that historical data tells us a lot.

• Would love to see the inventory codes in the drop-down menu stick like breaks and weeks..and not have to re-select each time for a report
• would like to have better functionality when exporting to XL or to PDF. Formatting could use improvement with output
• offer a monthly calendar of training opportunities like Nielsen offers

Terminus is a turn-key partner in the B2B Account-Based Marketing space. Their model is flexible and efficient which in turn provides effective results. Their sales staff is great and never tries to up-sell, but rather coach and educate our teams to be better at our jobs. It has been great to collaborate

It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization as your organization continues to mature through their ABM journey.

I would say that WideOrbit is much better than Pilat in terms of its ease of use. One major factor was that WideOrbits customer support is stateside and easily reachable if help is needed. Pilat was located in Europe I believe and getting assistance was very hard. As far as just the overall day to day usage, WideOrbit is leaps and bounds better in the area of functionality

• It's EXTREMELY hard to assess total ROI with display advertising unless you're getting clicks on your ads. Even then you probably want additional tracking metrics such as Google Analytics, form fills, etc.
• Our sales guys like the engagement spike reports, which can be useful for prompting them to reach out to their contacts.

• The system doesn't seem to work well with any of our digital platforms. For example, we can input an order and track an approval process through our finance system and see the invoice, but actual execution of any digital assets are NOT done through Wide Orbit
