It works flawlessly with Salesforce. Saves me time vs doing extensive boolean searches on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On occasion it does pull the wrong company's info but usually that is due to incorrect information in salesforce that I have no way of changing at my level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great UI, does just what our 80 person startup needs it to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've not come across any parts I dislike yet. I am only a user, not an administrator though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Charlie was very simple to set up and worked like a charm. Everything is automated and takes very little on the user's end to access. Charlie gives you an accurate briefing of upcoming meetings that you have on your email calendar. Info that would typically take me 30 minutes to an hour to search and find is available all in one email (Think Charlie as your personal assistant minus the yearly expensive salary you would typically pay for one).

Some companies have very little info and info is just not available/accessible.I have only ran into this instance once when a report was not available before an upcoming meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before most meetings, I have to do a number of things, including checking news on the company via Google or Crunchbase, looking at my contact's LinkedIn. While Charlie App does not do the latter, the first part of my job is really well done. The ability to see company funding and recent happenings gives the impression that you did your research, when really, it's Charlie. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on the size of the company, the information is not always applicable. Larger companies are flooded with updates, so the insight that Charlie App gives isn't great. As I mentioned earlier, many of my meetings are focused on the contact himself, not the company as a whole, so the fact that Charlie App does not pull information from their LinkedIn is a shortcoming.

I like how well this app keeps me connected and helps me gain insights on the people I am meeting with. It provides effortless information that is relevant to my prospects and helps me intelligently approach a scheduled meeting. It is also awesome how it connects with your calendar, so you don't even have to think about researching your business meeting, it just knows your schedule and provides the information automatically.

I wish there was a way to correct the profiles that it links with. Sometimes a contact with have the incorrect twitter linked to my insights and I am unable to adjust this or alter it in any way. I would like to be able to do this so that when I meet with someone more than once, the second time I meet with them I have the correct twitter or linkedin profile connected and it will provide me the correct information for whoever I am meeting with.

I actually really like this product as it does research on candidates before your meetings. For each person you're meeting with it will present a one pager for you to review before you speak with them. This allows you to make sure you know what your'e talking about or can bring up relevant points during the conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can sometimes duplicate or send you a review of yourself. This is a minor bug though. Also sometimes there are incomplete reviews but this is based on information that it can find publicly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Charlie is simple, yet intuitive. It integrates with your GMail and pulls from LinkedIn, Google+, and other associated social media sites to give you a quick briefing before your meeting. It is a great way to get a quick update on a prospect's role, company, or personality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The accuracy and relevance of the information that you receive from Charlie all depend on how active the person you are having a meeting with is on social media. This has proven to be an ineffective tool when people don't use LinkedIn especially. This makes the briefings on meetings with people not in the United States particularly bland.

Note that Charlie is just a brief overview of who you are meeting with... if this is an important meeting or call, do your research! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With numerous meetings and little time Charlie App makes it easy to keep track of notable company events, press and other relevant information that can assist prospecting calls. Charlie app delivers an email an hour before the meeting with a link to all their research - its free and invaluable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Email notifications require you to sign in to view all the details but its only a minor issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When preparing for meetings, you can receive background summaries of the attendees that are linked to the calendar invites sent with the email account linked to the application. These are quite useful as small insights or talking points to bring up in conversation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The application takes a bit of time to sync with your calendar, and occasionally will mix up information regarding attendees if they have a common name or if they work for a company with a simple name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app saves us time in two key areas: 1) finding "tough to locate" email addresses and 2) building client briefs before meetings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app reminders that "you haven't used me in a while" that pop up on my phone--as I more often use the web app... wish it would realize and reconcile that-- but it's just a nice to have not a major gripe of mine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
