# Which presales tools are most trusted by sales engineers based on user reviews?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">If we go by what sales engineers themselves say on G2, three names come up most, and the pattern is that SEs trust tools built by other SEs. Current ratings:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/homerun-presales-platform/reviews"><strong>Homerun Presales Platform</strong></a> (4.9/5, 52 reviews): the most-reviewed and highest-rated of the group, with reviewers repeatedly saying it's "written for SEs by SEs." Its reviewer base is heavily SE and solutions-engineering titles, which is the trust signal that matters here.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/opine-ai-presales-platform/reviews"><strong>Opine AI Presales Platform</strong></a> (4.8/5, 24 reviews): a strategic advisor said he "finally found a platform actually built for solution engineers." SE reviewers like that it updates every connected system at once.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/products/preskale-inc-preskale/reviews"><strong>PreSkale</strong></a> (4.7/5, 35 reviews): reviewers describe it as "presales professionals who developed a tool for pre-sales professionals," with rapid user adoption.</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">All three clear a high bar. The differentiator is less the rating and more which one fits your CRM and workflow. For the SEs here: what made your team adopt the tool rather than let it gather dust?</p>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Trust from sales engineers specifically is a different bar than trust from sales leadership. The tool that makes an SE&#39;s day-to-day easier isn&#39;t always the one that shows up best in a QBR deck.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 2

&lt;p&gt;Adoption usually comes down to whether the tool removes duplicate updates rather than adding another place to maintain. If it fits naturally into the CRM workflow and gives SEs something useful back, like better visibility or less admin, it has a much better chance of sticking.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 3

&lt;p&gt;Pritha’s adoption point gets closer to what I’d want to test than ratings alone. If SEs still maintain the same opportunity details in the presales tool and CRM separately, trust probably erodes quickly. I’d be curious which of Homerun, Opine, or PreSkale reviewers describe the platform actually replacing admin work rather than adding another system they have to keep current.&lt;/p&gt;

### Comment 4

&lt;p&gt;SE adoption tends to stick when the tool is built around how SEs actually work rather than being a CRM add-on. The fastest adoption happens when it reduces the effort of tracking POCs instead of creating another place to update.&lt;/p&gt;
