ClearSlide Reviews

That is allowed our sales reps & customers to share a screen

We had been using Clearslide for a few years. We started using the tool as a way to share screens with our customers and prospects. It worked okay. There were bugs and over time it became an obsolete solution as our customers and prospects became better accustomed to Zoom, Bluejeans, Gotomeeting, etc. They haven't really innovated that part of the solution in years. We moved to Zoom as it was a cheaper better solution for those purposes. Additionally the content storage feature really just a chronological storage for sales people. We did not have a Product Marketing Manager to determine what was being used most and build content specifically for the sales team. I can imagine if you had a devoted PMM this would be more beneficial but other solutions like Showpad seem way better. Also, if you have Sales Navigator, the PointDrive feature covers most of the bases that my reps liked about Clearslide.

Ending our relationship with Clearslide was a nightmare. I reached months before our renewal date to cancel our service. I reached out to two different account managers we had worked with over the year and received bounceback emails to both. When I finally got in touch with our account manager (that we were never introduced to) I was told it was too late to cancel our contract. Clearslide has a 90 day early termination rule and we just missed the cut. Really poor customer experience at that point. Being handed off from Account Manager to Account Manager, VP of Sales, and legal. At the end, Clearslide made no concessions and felt no empathy. My advice to anyone trying to do business with them is don't. But if you do, make sure to ensure that your contract does not have that clause in there. You probably won't be able to get it removed as they purposely hid this clause in section 10.1 of their contract - https://www.clearslide.com/legal/terms/

Clearslide became a redundancy in our business and no longer was solving a problem for us.

Putting slides together isn't all that complicated when I use a template. There are many good quality templates that allow me to get started on the right track. For the most part, I can just switch out content like text and photos and be just about done. There are great interactive and analytics features that let us know how engaged our viewers are and prepares us on how to follow up with them.

I don't really like the pricing structure where they charge per user. Also, the screen sharing feature doesn't quite perform as well as I would like. There isn't always a smooth connection and responsiveness with the other screen. I feel like there is a 25% lag in remote performance.

I feel that ClearSlide is a solid and versatile presentation platform that can be used for many types of presentations. For those that don't have design skills or the time to neatly format presentations from scratch, I think ClearSlide can indeed be a solid solution.

ClearSlide makes it easy for me and my team to put together professional presentations that can be viewed lived or at our viewers' convenience. We can great valuable feedback about viewer interactions that give us insight into viewer interests and the effectiveness of certain slides. I sometimes use the screen share feature to walk people through demonstrations, which really helps them to understand how certain products we offer and business processes we run work.

ClearSlide is a tool with many utilities. We can save numerous presentations in a single account very quickly, which makes it very flexible and easy to use. A great advantage is that you do not have to download anything to use it and you can always access it whenever you want. I also like the possibility of screen sharing, since it improves the experience. It is optimized to be used in different devices so you can access and perform various actions from any mobile or tablet.

The ClearSlide interface could improve visually, although it is not bad at all. It would be nice to be able to more easily create email templates and signatures for users. Being able to send many emails at the same time would also be positive. On occasion I had some errors for example sharing screens but they are easily solved by restarting.

ClearSlide is a pretty good platform overall. You can try it before buying it. I think it is worth it to buy with the work that it saves you.

ClearSlide is a pretty good platform overall. You can try it before buying it. I think it is worth it to buy with the work that it saves you. I can use email templates to create and send out well-designed and properly formatted emails that work best for particular needs. ClearSlide gives us automated data on user activity so we get more insight into the effectiveness of our presentations and emails.

This allowed me to track email opens on PDF slide decks.

"Our CFO bases our budget on our committed contracts, so we have a strict 90 day policy for all of our contracts." - Account Manager

Product didn't keep up with alternative solutions. At this point, I now find solutions like DocSend and even sharing Google Slides and using standard email tracking in Salesforce to be more than sufficient.

For screensharing, BlueJeans, Zoom and Google Hangouts are way better.

Compared to how much you get from those solutions, which are far more robust and less expensive, Clearslide at $35/mo or $420 a year is a ripoff.

I stopped using this service well over a year ago. I decided to cancel the service shortly after I saw the charge hit our credit card, and decided to ask for a refund. To cancel my service, CS bounced me around until sending to LEGAL to cancel the service. At that point, they informed me there was a 90-day cancellation policy.

I run a SaaS business and understand the need to maintain predictable recurring revenue, but we regularly give people grace to get refunds if they cancel shortly before or after a re-billing. Many of my friends who run SaaS businesses do the same and most successful SaaS companies I've worked like Zoom, Shopify, Salesforce, etc. do the same in the interest of customer satisfaction.

When I asked for a refund, their account manager told me, "Our CFO bases our budget on our committed contracts, so we have a strict 90 day policy for all of our contracts."

That's a terrible response to give a customer. I also have a CFO and a budget where we deal with customer refunds to manage. To tell a customer that my cancellation is not convenient to our CFO is probably one of the worst responses they could have given me for denying a refund.

Check out DocSend for sharing documents and decks, along with BlueJeans/Zoom for screen-sharing.

We used this to keep track of who was opening our investor decks.

Es una herramienta con multitud de utilidades, puedes guardar numerosas presentaciones en una sola cuenta de forma muy rápida, lo que la hace muy flexible y fácil de usar. Una gran ventaja es que no tienes necesidad de descargar nada para usarla y siempre puedes acceder a ella cuando quieras. También me gusta la posibilidad de compartir pantalla, ya que mejora la experiencia. Está optimizada para poder usarse en diferentes dispositivos por lo que puedes acceder y realizar varias acciones desde cualquier móvil o tablet.

La interfaz podría mejorar visualmente, aunque no está del todo mal. Estaría bien poder crear más fácilmente plantillas de correo electrónico y firmas para los usuarios. Poder enviar muchos correos al mismo tiempo también sería positivo. En alguna ocasión tuve algunos errores por ejemplo compartiendo pantallas pero se solucionan facilmente reiniciando.

Es una buena herramienta, puedes probarlo antes de comprarlo pero merece la pena con el trabajo que te ahorra.

Poder enviar archivos, correos publicitarios, y mantenerte en contacto mediante reuniones y más con compañeros y clientes de manera rápida y eficaz.

I love the analytics from Clearslide - specifically the engagement percentage, as this can tell me an awful lot about whether the prospect is worth pursuing. Clearslide will, for example, show that a client was not paying attention I was going over a specific slide in my presentation. If that's a very important part of the presentation, I'll make sure to cover it again in my follow-up. We've determined internally that if a client is distracted for 21% or more of the time, there's a high likelihood they aren't going to buy. When they're engaged for 90% or more of the presentation (e.g. they haven't opened another tab over the presentation), they close at an 85% close rate.

Feels clunky and a bit outdated, even after the new UI they rolled out over the past year. It's a great presentation on the client's end, but within the presenter platform it's not as easy to use as it could be.

Do it! I think the price is justified. My Finance team asks regularly about whether it's worth it, as I do only 5 or 10 meetings each month as an outside salesperson, and I would say it absolutely is. The mileage reimbursement they'd pay me to do those same meetings in person would be 7-10x the cost.

We're able to remotely present to clients and prospective clients or business partners. It's helped our sales team - especially our outside sales team - reduce their mileage and windshield time, becoming more efficient. Our inside sales team uses clearslide exclusively, while our outside team uses both in-person and clearslide meetings. Often times we'll use clearslide for low-probability prospects, or ones with an urgent need if we're unable to clear our calendar to get to them in person right away.

This tool has so many features. I love that you can upload a presentation and share it with your team. You then can see what pages/slides were viewed the most. Great way to track what's working and what's not. I also really like that I can use Clearslide for screen shares.

You have to be very intentional about tagging things you upload. It's best to give your organization a tagging convention to use. That way people can find the things they need quickly. Otherwise it could get messy.

Really think long term with this product. Be sure you're tagging and naming conventions are sustainable and flexible so that you can keep using them as your company changes.

We use Clearslide to pitch presentation to clients. We also use it as a repository for marketing collateral such as sell sheets, product descriptions, etc. The screen share and meeting feature is great too.

I like the ability to upload and rearrange pitch decks as needed and the insights. The Insights are a great way to manage customer and employee engagement during the presentation. Checking to see who is paying attention and all.

When Messaging other people viewing the presentation it opens up this tiny little chat on the bottom of their screen which can be too easily unnoticed by the person that you are trying to reach.

When in comes to Clearslide then take it with a Grain of Salt. From Remote Presentation standpoint it is great. Insights provide a lot of information and they do provide decent support. Though, they seem to go down often enough at inconvenient times since I do scheduled presentations with customers. Though over all its not a bad platform and love the ability to measure engagement with analytics

ClearSlide allows our customer training team a simple way to share and interact training with large groups of customers that are not necessarily in the same location. It also is a great way to offer presentations during meetings and to share what is going on from our local computers.

The email plugin is by far my favorite piece of Clearslide, but it is still very buggy and makes my outlook crash. Even so, the amount of time required to search for presentations and attach them has been reduced.

The platform consistently seems half-baked. The content search is not prescriptive as promised, but instead, pulls content that is most commonly used. The call/web conference functionalities have some of the worst quality (sound, video) that I have ever seen. The new UI is only slightly better than the last, which is nothing special. The best part about CS, in my opinion, is the email plugin, which is helpful, but makes my outlook crash most of the time. When CS is coupled with other Outlook plugins, my email freezes consistently. Our company also has ExecVision, which syncs with CS, but never properly pulls the call details. The new plugin for SFDC is also incredibly lackluster, especially the notes portion, which strips all formatting. Like I've said, the idea of CS is great, but the execution is half-baked.

I'm sure that CS has a good price point for the functionality, but the product is half-baked with full of functionality issues. I would recommend looking at other platforms with improved functionalities and a content platform that truly enables sellers, rather than simply pushing the most "popular" collateral to the top.

Being able to track client engagement for collateral and minor improvements in efficiency thanks to the outlook plugin.

Lots of functionality, new UI a good improvement over previous iteration (generate content links, send templated emails, live screen share)

Admin UI not as easy to manage as would be desirable. Lacking some capabilities and/or the level of granularity that would make said capabilities useful. Some end users have difficulty leveraging tool to max effect as often requires a lot of clicks to accomplish tasks and default behavior is to use as content repository and not a distribution vehicle as well (Partially an adoption/utilization issue but is made more challenging by navigation)

Consider what the admins need and weigh equally against desired functionality for end users (ex: user management, file version control, reporting, etc)

Like many other CMS, the internal team managing the implementation is largely responsible for planning, configuration and rollout + adoption without a great deal of expertise from vendor to help guide the way.

This platform is evolving and is one of the only tools I am aware of that makes it easy to see if your prospect is actually viewing your materials. In our business this test of validity of our prospects is vital to our continued sales investment in that prospect. We rely on this tool to help us see not only what they viewed, but how long they spent viewing each page of the document/ppt. Oh, and it has tools to help you present, at any moment without requiring your prospect to download something from Webex/GTM; just a simply url and you are in a conference with that prospect. Very useful also for our overseas conference calling needs.

I might have organized the information a bit differently, but like any application getting used to the look and feel takes a bit of time.

If you are not sure of your content being viewed by your prospects and/or need to better understand which content is being viewed regularly, then this platform can assist. This technology also can replace any Webex/GTM web conferencing technology and help sales centralize all content and make it available to all sales, for every conference.

better understand any suspects actual interest, by their viewing behavior of the materials we send to them.

I like that it's easy to share presentations and documents with prospects, and that you have visibility into their activity.

CS video is a great concept, but it's too long of a process to upload the video to Clearslide after you've recorded it. And it take FOREVER to load.

I'm also not a fan of the new conference call lines. I have to do a lot of international calls - Canada, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, etc. A number of times, when all parties are dialed into the conference line we won't be connected on the same line. Somehow the international dial-ins don't connect back to the main conference number. It's quite frustrating for both the host and the prospects.

Streamline the CS Video process. It's good, but could be better. :)

I'm in sales, so for me it's critical that I have an easy way to share out presentations to prospects.

The ability to tag, sort and organize assets for the team is amazing. In the past I've struggled to gain insight into which pieces of content are most useful to the sales team. ClearSlide helps me understand what's working and what's not, without putting the onus on the sales team to remember what they're using most from day to day. The Salesforce and Gmail integrations, while not perfect, have been extremely helpful in encouraging adoption.

The interface isn't entirely intuitive, which has made adoption a little harder than I anticipated. Uploading videos is quite slow, but not prohibitive as long as you're not uploading a ton of video content at once. The web slide functionality is a great concept, but it doesn't work terribly well with certain sites (for instance, Intercom-hosted customer support sites).

Have a clear plan for how you'll organize and tag content before you start uploading to make sure you stay organized -- ClearSlide's tutorial videos have some good examples. Always err on the side of overtagging to make content more discoverable to your team.

We've been able to have better version control over sales enablement assets and get better insight into how prospects are using our content. It's great to be able to have the workflow around finding and sharing content be more streamlined. We're optimistic that we'll be able to take a more data-driven approach to sales enablement moving forward because of ClearSlide.

Blast emails to customer and letting them view my screen. I like how easy it is to upload content for my teams. It allows us to pivot quickly in a changing market.

I am not sure why this no longer works but this is a huge problem for me. If I have my screen sharing my entire screen I cannot bring a snipped image onto the screen. To further clarify you cannot drag over many different windows such and skitch, calculator, jpeg images. The customer can not see them. You can reach back out to me if you would like me to demonstrate for you but this is a huge business problem for my team.

I lost the ability to share screenshots. This is a must feature I am extremely disappointed it does not work.

I am able to show my customer where we are headed and to clearly differentiate why they should chose us. However, I can't show them the financials of my product because of the problem described above.

Its really awkward that you ask for a screen shot to show I am a user but the software isn't allowing me to show customers screenshots while sharing my screen.

User friendly, never have any problems connecting with prospect, Use ClearSlide, it is fantastic, my prospective clients never have a problem getting on and viewing, I have never had a problem connecting, no lag time, screen share is great, ability to store a lot of slides, the ability to toggle between presentations is a very useful tool as well, the ability to store maps when discussing territories is priceless, dependability is great

nothing, ClearSlide is great, always works great, prospective clients are able to connect without a problem and are always able to see what I am doing in real time, no lag, no delay, screen share is absolutely phenomenal, great tool,

Use ClearSlide, it is fantastic, my prospective clients never have a problem getting on and viewing, I have never had a problem connecting, no lag time, screen share is great, ability to store a lot of slides, ClearSlide gives you the ability to share slides, maps, presentations, screen share is awesome, my prospective clients can get a very real sense of the visual nature of the Houzz platform thanks to Clear Slide

Great to be able to do visual presentations for potential clients, Houzz is a very visual website and it is imperative for me to show the visual nature to prospective clients, words do not do Houzz justice and it must be seen visually to be able to fully understand the power of Houzz

Lo mejor es que se carga fácilmente en cualquier navegador web para reuniones orientadas al cliente, lo cual es increíble. Ya no tener que depender de una aplicación de carga de complementos para presentar diapositivas o hacer un uso compartido de pantalla simplifica las cosas para nuestros equipos y clientes.

También me encanta poder compartir enlaces a material publicitario desde un panel de ventana de correo electrónico existente ha sido alucinante mente útil.

lado.

Los complementos de CS para Outlook, Gmail o su navegador web son excelentes ideas pero se ejecutan mal. Las integraciones han causado muchos dolores de cabeza para nuestros colegas y para mí desde su lanzamiento. Han provocado que nuestro correo electrónico se cierre inesperadamente, el contenido no se vincule correctamente o que no se rastreen los correos electrónicos. La idea de estas integraciones fue reducir la cantidad de tiempo que un vendedor tiene que pasar de una ventana a otra, lo cual es increíble, pero las integraciones están llenas de fallas.

El beneficio principal es que está siendo utilizado principalmente por nuestros equipos de ingresos como una forma de acceder rápidamente al contenido y compartir garantías con clientes potenciales o clientes actuales

I really like that Clearslide is a very flexible platform. Another system we use is very ridged and requires an entire upload every time you want to update a slide. Clearslide is a nimble and dynamic product which allows you to swap out certain slides, reorder slides, and hide and show different slides on the fly. Ease of use is good.

I've had some issues with the system lagging and drops calls at times. The one thing I wish would work better is re-ordering slides. It's a bit clunky and doesn't drag properly at times.

Great product for sales enablement- I recommend it.

I love sending my presentations to prospects after a call and tracking when they view them. It is also really easy to customize the presentation for them by showing and hiding certain slides and re-ordering individual slides without having to re-upload your deck.

We can get feedback on whether people open slides, how much time they spend looking at it and what they do with it, which gives us a more in-depth feedback and understanding of our presentation quality. Managing content is very easy and intuitive. We can share screens with our customers to provide a more interactive and thorough communication experience. There is also a mass email function with valuable tracking data.

Some people might find the system confusing to use. Some recipients don't know that they need to download a presentation, which can be frustrating. Connections are sometimes easy to drop. Overall though, I like ClearSide way more than I dislike it.

If you are too busy or booked, ClearSlide is a fantastic way to keep you in the game with more clients and leads. It allows you to conduct business remotely as if you're there in person. I recommend ClearSlide to anyone that needs to make clear and concise presentations with immediate feedback tools and extensive communication capabilities.

Allows you to have rich and meaningful interactions with clients. You can get instant feedback on what's going on during your presentation, which can be useful immediately or for future decisions and activities. This is a powerful tool for anyone in sales, especially those that have contacts across many geographic locations. You can stay more competitive and potentially convert more leads with ClearSlide. I impressed quite a few clients just by using it.

Tracking software so we can determine what prospects are engaged. Also, we love the way Clearslide is organized so we can always go back to previous presentations to build new ones.

The conference line was delayed, but in the past 2 weeks, the problem seems to be fixed.

Take advantage of all of the training when starting out. There are so many features to get used to.

In the simplest form, Clearslide helps your pipeline meetings be more effective, while allowing each team to collaborate best practices.

It is a seamless way to keep all of our material organized via one source. It comes off to the customer as a high tech, simple tool we use to share the necessary information. Wouldn't be where we are today without it.

I love that Clearslide allows me to become my own marketing team. I can disperse strategic information to large quantities of my clients all while specializing the message and tracking the responses of those in my send out.

My largest issue with Clearslide (which still is not very problematic) is when developing my own custom emails to send out in marketing blasts, images are never easily transferred into the body of the email message. Lots of times the images in your emails will be formatted to the creator's screen perfectly but then changes upon sendout to your clients. Again, not a large issue but something that can be perfected.

Take advantage of Clearslide newsletters so you can stay up to date when changes and upgrades occur. It's great to stay in the loop. Bring in co-workers so they can benefit and you both can learn from each other. Get creative with the tools they offer!

I am able to maintain quick and organized templates to send out to my current and prospective clients without re-inventing the wheel over and over. Clearslide allows me to tackle so many challenges in my day to day operations and it really allows me to manage my territory and thousands of clients with ease. Communication becomes simple and targeted and best of all using this interface has produced success.

No downloads but a clickable link for live meetings. I also love that I can call folks directly through the system, they answer, they are added to the meeting. CS will also call me once people join. Very user friendly.

Template editor and correspondence system is very buggy. Newest version of Outlook connector crashed my system. Good design, good ideas, but unstable. Correspondence tool should be much easier to use and customize. Outdated and formatting is terrible. Spacing can be off and hard to change fonts. Button to send are only at the bottom of a template. Should be at the top too. I can't search for emails sent by company name. Silly. No search function on main dash. Bummer. Cannot see everything I sent to a particular company. No birds eye view or scoring system to see how involved there are with all things sent. No integration with SFDC at the lead level. Bummer. Only connects if they are an account.

Hate WebEx? Use Clearslide. Do you clients/prospects have trouble calling into your conference line? Use Clearslide.

Quick access to traceable prospect communication and most seamless demo tool I have ever used.

The ability to easily connect with others and share screens. For the most part, anyone can connect on it--they can easily call in using any phone and if they have a computer in front of them, can access the corresponding screen(s).

The major issues are: occasionally the audio is distorted or crackly. Furthermore, it will sometimes kick either myself or the other party off of the call, causing us to have to call in once again (this is somewhat rare, but does happen from time to time).

Almost every time I utilize Clearslide, the screen goes black after having shared it for 30-40 minutes. The solution is to do a "refresh," but it is still an interruption to the presentation.

Seems to be the most convenient out of all other screen-sharing services I have encountered. Future users will just want to write down / save their call access information (I have it as a post-it on my desktop which I often copy & paste to send out to customers).

Easy communication yielding better understanding among the customer(s) who are in turn learning more about our products.

The ease of sending email pitches is great and the live presentation feature is amazing. I rely on this toll everyday when i do my demos with clients. I also send out mass email pitches to thousands of clients at the same time. I have experience with Webex, but clearslide has made my life 100x easier.

Lately the live presentation feature takes a few try's to to work. Not too bad but i have had to stall with a few clients. I have only had one experience of not being able to complete a presentation because of this. Could be my network and not necessarily an issue with Clearslide

If you want to reach many clients via email marketing blasts, ClearSlide is an amazing tool. U would definitely recommend this to anyone in sales or marketing.,

I use clear slide for email marketing blasts and live demo presentations for a Time & Attendance Software. Almost all of my business is generated from using the email pitch feature. I would not be able to complete my job without the use of this site.

I love being able to screen-share ClearSlide and give clients the URL in meeting invites, allowing them to access my personal ClearSlide account. Also, it is nice that you can upload your PowerPoint presentation beforehand, so you can navigate through it, or click on a particular slide in your presentation deck, and quickly refer back to the slide.

When in a conference, it does not show you who is exactly in the meeting, but shows their location. Maybe include their names so you can see who has entered the meeting and is viewing your screen or presentation.

ClearSlide is a good tool if you train clients or prospects with PowerPoint presentations. It is easy to send everyone the URL link to enter your ClearSlide account, and for them to copy and paste it into their device, to access your web conference. Screen sharing is my favorite usage from ClearSlide.

The integration's that it offers with day to day software's that we generally use be it for outlook or PowerPoint.Simplifying mail integration is its single biggest plus point as it integrates well with outlook .So, no need to check your mail boxes constantly by switching windows. This one is a strong workhorse at easing you menial jobs such that you can focus on the larger challenges .

The integration's need to ironed out a bit as sometimes the end result that we get is not the desired one that we expect.

There are multiple SaaS platform out there.Though if you are in the mood for some experimentation you can try this one out for your own suitability.Therein I also must say that the price point is generally within budget considering the plethora of features it offers.

Presentations ,regular business conversations within the organization all rolled up into one suite .

The best thing about Clearslide I think is its simplicity – it's probably the easiest to use for both the presenter and the client/prospect viewing the presentation. The ability to create custom URL's on the fly is priceless as is the insight and analytics that show viewer engagement with your presentations.

The biggest thing was that Clearslide is a bit more expensive than some of the other presentation software products out there.

If presentations/demos are key to your sales process it's worth investing in Clearslide

Clearslide was used as our primary Sales team demo/presentation software. It helped convey our product features and benefits to clients and potential clients in an effective way. Analytics helped reps focus on Opportunities that demonstrated engagement/interest.

ClearSlide is a powerful application that meets the definition of Sales Enablement or Sales Enhancement. Not only can you send and track emails, but you can host live meetings (a la WebEx), but without the hassles of WebEx. You can record meetings for playback later. You can record presentations for educational purposes. Finally, you can record and send email that include personal videos for your viewer. Check out the stats, emails with personal videos have a 5 - 10x open rate over traditional email.

The video function of the application still records the views as if it was a mirror, meaning any writing or logo on your clothing is backward. This is something that should be simple to fix, but it still remains. I've been using the application for 18 months - it's time to fix this

Lead generation, customer follow up, general marketing, and recorded presentations and demos have all enhanced my brand and client and prospect communication. No direct measurable benefits yet - but I'm generating conversation sooner, thus shortening my sales cycle.

I THINK THE EASE OF USE OF CLEARSLIDE IS THE BEST FOR ME. I am able to track emails and see what templates are working and what is not. My everyday emails have become more streamlined and more valuable to me and my customers.

Navigation is difficult between pages sometimes. but the new updates have made this less of a issue. I have very little to say that I do not like in Clearslide.

I think that if you set up your email templates and video templates as soon as possible you will enjoy using the service. I am able to set up drip email campaigns and send out information to multiple contacts at once.

Setting up digital marketing for clients, sending clients web slides and mock ups of work that we have completed. I am able to have drip email campaigns and have the emails sent out at the time and date that works for my clients

The userface isn't bad. Everything is organized in a manageable way - you know where your dial in info is, pasted meetings, etc.

Doesn't pair well in SFDC, which we use exclusively as a CRM tool. Functionality is not the best, clearslide often breaks and the phone line/connection doesn't work. Just needs some updating by their data science/engineering team. The link to my line never hyperlinks and its really confusing for clients to dial in or get in.

Running meetings is a lot easier. Streamlined service that gives me full control over my meeting and control over what the client is seeing when, and what they're looking at. helpful when running meetings over the phone.

Easy to use, you can do it all: share a deck, share your screen (or only part of it which is great), point at areas on the slides with different pointers, draw on slides, chat, see what viewers are on the presentation, share presentation via email and track engagement, track engagement after a pitch, have access to presentation from other members of my company (and get ideas from that).

Even if it is better since the last update, it's still tricky to share animated ppt.

It's a tool that still requires another media for the oral communication, there's no phone integrated like for hangouts or Skype for example.

A great tool, easy to use

It allows me to show slides while pitching over the phone and make my presentation more visual and clearer (easier to follow for the audience)

The fact that I can view if they have opened the email, how long, re-sent, etc. This way I can change subject lines, customize the template more when I see more people are opening the emails sent.

I can only send it to 10 emails to people at one time. I'd like to send it to more than 10 at a time. It takes a while to reload after I send out and email as well.

It allows me to connect to Calendly and my calendar to set appointment without me having to actually talk to someone to set an appointment. It save me time personally and it weeds out people but it also has a soft feeling to it. What I mean by "soft feeling" is it's not overly aggressive like my industry usually is. If you interested set a time if you're not you're not.

The content sharing and the fact you have a consistent link to your conference are both very nice.

It's simply unreliable. The soft phone hasn't worked since we kicked off the program, and once a week the call will drop all participants on the line. When you're managing sales presentations and your technology is giving the participants a bad experience, something is wrong. Weekly calls to support have yet to solve any significant problems. I've also missed the ability to give participants on the call the ability to share their screen. WIth our license, you can only pass to other people who also have a clearslide account.

Hope that the product does not cut out on you during important calls like it has for many users at my company, repeatedly, for months and months.

Content sharing and centralized sales documentation have been made easier through Clearslide.

I love how easy clearslide makes for me alternate between a preplanned presentation to sharing my screen to walk a client through anything we are doing online! In addition, the links for a user to type in our client friendly, so anyone can easily sign in!

One thing I wish you were able to do, was edit a slide within clearslide without having to go through the process of uploading & deleting a slide. For example, when I just need to change one metric on a slide or a client name -- it would be beneficial to just add or change right within clearslide!

make sure to select an easy user name! that way people can find you more easily when they type in the URL!

I use clearslide everyday to walk clients through our product along with show slides that can portray our business.

Very reliable, very easy to use. I don't fully understand what the email functions are for but I imagine they're pretty cool too

Better instructions on the viewer's side for screen sharing (the plug-in stumps many)

Better instructions on the viewer's side to enlarge the display

Better training on how to leverage the email options

I use CS multiple times a day to demonstrate products to end users

I like that I can control the pace of the presentation. That way clients can't skim through a presentation on their own while on a video/conference call. Sending a proposal takes a lot of space in an inbox so the fact I can send a hyperlink is much more helpful.

The conversion sometimes messes up as it sometimes does not format slides correctly. I also wish there was an Outlook plug-in. I wish there was a way to email through the webpage better as well.

I would say it is an elite system that helps us stand out against our competitors.

I am able to more clearly explain proposals and clients focus more when viewing the same deck at the same time. I am able to add video and audio in to a deck whereas in PowerPoint it is more difficult to do that.

Love the integration with Google Calendar, that it requires no download on the customer's side, that I have a personal URL I can always use on the fly, that it has conference dial ins for every country, that it can easily record meetings and keep them in a library, that I can create links to presentations including recordings.

We've had constant problems- long lag times during meetings (it's not our internet)- which is the main thing that is unacceptable, failed recordings, people getting bounced out of conference calls, back to back meetings getting wires crossed. Their support has been fairly responsive but always with the explanation that they have known bugs they are working to fix. Lag times have gotten better but there seems to be a glitch of some sort every week. We are looking for another solution. Wish it worked!

Sales presentations, software demos

They used to make it convenient for sales teams to create, share, and track opens and engagement of multi-format sales presentations. The strongest feature, however, is near real time email notification of presentation viewing and slide engagement which can be handy for making an opportune call to ask questions of the prospect at the exact moment they are viewing a presentation.

I dislike their customer service and billing practices, the fact that video playback can be spotty and delayed when multi-parties are sharing, and that presentations become useless in corporate environments that restrict internet access.

PipeDrive, Kissflow, and SamePage are better alternatives. And for presentations in secure network locations where restrict access to certain websites like ClearSlide or have a laggy internet connection, I recommend power points on flash drives over a mobile app option.

Problem: Remote sales presentations to multi-remote locations. Clearslide benefits: enables you to conduct a single online presentation to multiple online viewers who might be in multiple different locations. Lagging can be an issue as can sound and online screen sharing which is mostly dependant on your and your viewer's internet access at the time of the presentation.

Clearslide is a great tool to share presentations with clients, but my favorite part was being able to see the analytics behind what they saw – which slides they stayed on the longest, if/when the downloaded a presentation.... it enables our team to call right when they know a client is looking at a file!

Our team had trouble with customization of materials. We used specific fonts that were not available, so we had to do a lot of updating of slides outside of ClearSlide, and then bring them back in. It wasn't a huge issue, but the updating capabilities was a bit of a dislike.

I

Follow up. ClearSlide allows us to do better follow up with clients right when they are most engaged with the files, AND lets us know what interests them based on the time spent on certain pieces of information.

Tracking of presentations...easy to upload and send links

I don't like how I can't edit the slides right within the platform. I have to download to make edits to the slides. Additionally, I'm not able to make presentations through the platform...i need to set up a separate phone call in. I spoke to someone who wasn't able to help me with this and was going to get back to me but never did.

if you just want it for saving your presentations it's great. If you want it to be able to present and screen share, you need to have another software to set up a conference call. Additionally, the slides don't move swiftly when presenting online.

Clearing house for presentations in an easy to find hub. Being able to track those that open it and go through it.

Great customization, the fact that I can call a number and bring in into the conference call, the smoothness of it, it combines with salesforce very well. I've really liked how easy it has been to bring it into my processes.

The only thing that I had issues with was the training. The person seemed more interested in showing us all the available features when there were really only 3 or 4 we wanted to focus on. I would have liked to do a deep dive into those things and had him cover the others later.

Do it, you won't look back.

The biggest thing has been that the screen share doesn't stop in the middle of the meeting anymore. That and the notes and the calendar sync have been very helpful.

What I like best about clearslide is how easy it is to use. Very intuitive and they constantly improve their software allowing for more international capabilities.

Sometimes the recordings fail and I can't get my hands on a recording of a pitch I did. It usually magically pops up a few hours later but I'm in the dark until then.

If you do digital presentations and often hop into screenshares, this makes it super easy to do so. Also the international capabilities make it much easier to talk to people around the world.

Business problems it's solving for me is that I pitch to several Agencies everyday and it makes it super easy and seamless to hop from on presentation to another. The other is that is simplifies conference calls for international companies.

I love the transparency I have with the client. It's so much easier to share data, educate the client on different products, and explain solutions I am proposing. I must admit, if it weren't for clearslide, my sales would be negatively impacted!

I don't really dislike anything about Clearslide since the new update where I can choose the screens I share.

I love clearslide. I no longer have any recommendations for Clearslide since the latest update. It is now more user friendly and easy to connect with my clients! Thank you!

I am able to establish more credibility with my organization by being transparent and showing the customer I have nothing to hide. It lets the customer's guard down, and they are more receptive of what I have to say.

Launching a meeting is simple, screen share is easy to use, no software to install for prospects, custom weblink is professional. Lengthy list of international call in numbers available. The smartphone presenter clicker is very slick too.

Relative to other products like gotomeeting or webex there is very little to not like about this product. Connecting clients is fast and easy. Managing content is quick and my fear of clients not being able to get logged in is gone.

Consider the cost of a poor user experience or meetings that simply can't happen because clients can't get connected with other systems. Firewalls, downloads etc made other systems no longer a good option for us.

Getting prospects connected, managing multiple slide decks and switching presentations mid meeting used to be very difficult. Clearslide makes those things very easy to do. With other virtual presentation tools I used to cross my fingers and hope the client could get logged in. With Clearslide they just access my custom web link and they are connected.

ClearSlide was a good product a couple years ago. The novelty of download-free screen sharing was cool, despite the fact that it's hard when one is doing back-to-back meetings to prevent others from joining an ongoing call.

First, the price is absurd. They are charging over $100/mo+ just for screen-sharing and then propose to charge per minute for conference calling. Why would anyone on Planet Earth pay per minute when UberConference charges $17/mo for unlimited conference calling? Admittedly, I had a specific use case that made the download-free screen sharing worth it until recently. See point 2.

Second, you have to sign-up for one year and their agreement auto-renews yearly. I just emailed to cancel (it's July 2018) and they said they would be happy to cancel at the end of my term, which is Feb 2019. What?! They already got a year out of me. Now they refuse to cancel because of some BS auto-renewal clause that's cleverly hidden in the original agreement? That's very shady. No wonder why they have dedicated Customer Retention staff to handle this stuff.

If you use ClearSlide, use a burner card from Privacy.com. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with them hitting your card.

Do not purchase ClearSlide.

Download-free screen sharing. Was novel at first, but now there are other, better/cheaper options.

I don't see ClearSlide lasting much longer. Check their Glassdoor reviews.

I like how easy it is to upload our key marketing/sales assets & then get a real-time look at who's actually reviewing them & for how long.

ONCE, I had a technical issue that was difficult to diagnose, but their tech team fixed it SAME DAY.

Track EVERYTHING on Clearslide! It makes sales follow-up much more efficient.

We need a better way to determine how our marketing collateral (presentations, whitepapers, articles, videos) is resonating with our new business prospects. With Clearslide, I know who's actually engaging with them and which ones are performing better than others.

How easy it is to share my screen with my prospect for demos. No need to download anything. Also, you can switch over the controls so they can jump in and click around. It's a great tool for that. Another great thing about Clearslide is when you send emails, it tells you who opened if they looked at your content and for how long. A great prospecting tool as well.

When I send bulk emails in Clearslide, it does not link up into Salesforce. You have to pay for that feature.

Mass Marketing Emailing

Integration with Salesforce.com; Having the ability from Salesforce to create presentation and send out email to the contacts and having your notes integrated into the CRM. Uploading new material, presentations and documents. Tracking information easily regardless of time since sending. Able to create a web demo easily and expeditiously.

too many iphone apps. to confusing which one to use.

Sales is a result of focusing your efforts on key initiatives and not wasting your time on opportunities where the prospect is not engaged. This is the best tool to help create a more focus pipeline. Improving sales performance, starts with developing a laser focus on the sales opportunities. Clearslide gives us that ability

Reducing the number of presentations. Improving live and email by understanding what the audience wants to see and hear about. Open ratio has improved as we do more and more web meetings

I like that you can store multiple presentations on one account, makes it very flexible and user friendly.

Also love the ability to screen share, as it enhances the experience for both client and host.

Sometimes there is a bit of a lag on the other side that we cannot control, and at times one needs to refresh the entire page. Also trying to convey the URL to get them logged on to clearslide can be a bit frustrating. Also knowing that a previous client could hop onto that URL at a different time when you could be taking a seperate client through a presentation feels awkward, that you do not even know who it is!

Sometimes when I tell the client to log on it comes up with this product is not safe and other warnings about how this program could give the computer viruses etc. - not comforting when you are trying to sell something and it looks like we are fraud or selling them something dodgy.

I would recommend Clearslide to any company who has a concept that is otherwise difficult to explain to a 5 year old simply. It has the ability to really shape and mould your idea so people dont lose you on the way. They will be able to make a fully informed decision about any product or service your company is providing and you will also be able to determine the fit between your business and client more effectively.

As my title suggests, clearslide is able to communicate through visual learning by simple measures, which otherwise would be difficult concepts to grasp.

The lack of download means there is never an issue getting someone on a demo. From someone who has used G2M for 10 years, this is a huge improvement. The built in slides make it easy to walk through a professional demo then switch to screen sharing.

The inability to include hidden text for presentations like you would in a powerpoint demo.

Making it easy for prospects to join demos means less wasted time and ensuring every demo takes place. The focus shouldnt be on the technology you are using to demo, it should be on the technology youre selling.

The platform is useful for sharing presentations across borders and remotely.

When we wanted to cancel the contract (60 days ahead of renewal) because our team wasn't using the service, the customer service team let us know that there was no way to cancel unless we gave them 90 days notice. This seems like an unusually absurdly long cancellation period (1/4 of the entire contract period).

Please please please ensure that you read all the terms especially the cancellation terms in the contract.

We were attempting to solve the remote presentation issue. We're an 85 person company but located across the US and in the UK so we were hoping for a system that would allow us to share presentations easily across borders.
