Overall Satisfaction with PathFactory

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a marketer who works closely with sales, PathFactory gives me the ability to create URLs for PDFs and make updates to such PDFs without losing the URL that is distributed through marketing channels. For this reason, sales are always eager to use a PathFactory link rather than a PDF attachment. Also able to provide viewer stats/metrics as sales intel.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy viewing experience as a consumer of PathFactory content that is published
Once understand some of nuances how to use it, it's pretty simple to use
Document maintenance

Cons

Ease of use for replacing content and maintaining same URL
Sales intel email notifications would be a plus
For content hubs, better design options

Return on Investment

Sales enablement
Asset management and upkeep
Light reporting

Likelihood to Recommend

PathFactory is good for sales use as a replacement for sending PDFs. For that reason, it is good for asset management though that is not necessarily what the tool feels like it's meant to do. PathFactory is less ideal from a marketing perspective since it doesn't provide the ability to make simple landing pages; if this were possible would be a big plus.
