# Best RO&amp;I Software for Sales Teams Ready to Ditch Spreadsheet Forecasting

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Short answer is that, for real-time pipeline visibility without a forecasting spreadsheet, <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-sales-formerly-salesforce-sales-cloud/reviews">Agentforce Sales</a>, <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/revenue-grid/reviews">Revenue Grid</a>, and <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/clari/reviews">Clari</a> are the three that score highest on the actual forecasting and dashboard features in G2's <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/revenue-operations-intelligence-ro-i">RO&amp;I category</a> data, not just on overall rating.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I've been comparing options because our team is still stitching forecasts together in spreadsheets, and the G2 Data on predictive forecasting and dashboard analytics narrows this down fast:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/agentforce-sales-formerly-salesforce-sales-cloud/reviews"><strong>Agentforce Sales</strong></a> (4.4/5 overall on G2; 2,876 reviews in this category, formerly Salesforce Sales Cloud): The Leaders-tier standout here, with a 91% score on dashboard analytics and 86% on predictive forecasting. Reviewers consistently point to real-time pipeline dashboards replacing manual roll-ups.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/revenue-grid/reviews"><strong>Revenue Grid</strong></a> (4.6/5 overall on G2; 225 reviews in this category): Scores just as high on predictive forecasting (86%) and edges ahead on data visualization, and reviewers describe it as the pick when the CRM's native forecasting feels too rigid.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/clari/reviews"><strong>Clari</strong></a> (4.6/5 overall on G2; 1,617 reviews in this category): Slightly behind the other two on raw feature scores (84% predictive forecasting) but has the deepest review base of the three, and reviewers describe it as the most mature option for revenue leaders who've outgrown spreadsheets already.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Are you optimizing for replacing forecasting spreadsheets specifically, or is pipeline visibility the bigger pain point? The two aren't always solved by the same feature set.</p>

Oh Clari is the one built exactly for this transition, heavily reviewed and highly rated, it replaces spreadsheet forecasting with a live, deal-signal-driven forecast that updates as the pipeline moves, and it&#39;s trusted by large enterprises specifically for that reason. Aviso is another strong forecasting-focused option, well-liked for AI-driven pipeline and forecast accuracy. If you&#39;re already deep in Salesforce, Salesforce&#39;s own RO&amp;I tooling is worth a look too since it&#39;s native to data you already have. To be real, the actual &quot;ditch the spreadsheet&quot; moment happens when reps trust the tool&#39;s numbers over their gut, so I&#39;d pilot it for a full quarter and compare its forecast against your old spreadsheet&#39;s accuracy before fully cutting over. What&#39;s breaking in your spreadsheet process, visibility, accuracy, or just the manual rollup work?
