"Power is back in my hands"
5/5
What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

I love the idea of accountability. The fact that there is a tool that allows me to stay on top of my deals without having to resort to the "Sales Executive" CRM is wonderful. It is very easy to use and allows for just enough customization. I use this tool every morning and at the close of business. Our SF deals flow over into the platform without a hiccup.

What do you dislike about Homerun Presales Platform?

At the moment, nothing really. It has just enough that I will continue using it without feeling like im in full blown analysis paralysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My New SE Operating System"
5/5
What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

Homerun is one of the first platforms i've used specifically designed for SEs.

The platform really helps me keep my opportunities organized, like "post it notes" to remind myself where each deal is and what the key risks are.

Homerun does an excellent job of reducing friction. Unlike other tools, it's easy to input information and see what matters most to me as an SE.

Honestly the calendar sync alone is worth its weight in gold!

The reporting, filtering, and dashboard features are flexible and powerful enough to show me what's important.

The live eval plans seem like a great way to stay on top of POCs and communicate with my prospects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Homerun Presales Platform?

Some of the chart features are a bit clunky, and it would be helpful to be able to see all action items at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

As a team we struggled to adequately keep track of all our opportunities through the sales process. Homerun provided us with the visibility of our opportunity pipeline across presales deal stage and allows the team to actively track activities / tasks at opportunity level. As a multi-discipline Solution Consulting team Home has given us the ability to collaborate together more easily across opportunities as we work various aspects of a deal based on the expertise needed. The ability to clearly see and report on activity, utilization, and opportunity status with a few clicks is exactly what this team needed. We use tool as our landing now for the team and almost exclusively work out of Homerun.

From an implementation standpoint Homerun was very easy to implement and configure within Saleforce. The Homerun team has a clearly defined process for getting the application stood up quickly with a very easy integration plan. Customer support has been outstanding and the team was has very responsive to inquiries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Homerun Presales Platform?

There are a few small items that I would like to see changed within the application. The Homerun team has been very receptive to listening to my feedback and helping to address the needs. I have not run into anything during my use of the application that would preclude me from recommending this product to others. In fact, I would say that you are doing yourself and your team a disservice by not giving this tool a try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Immediately Impactful"
5/5
What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

Living in the world of pre-sales, we preach everyday about how the solutions we are selling allow the end user to have a very immediate Time to Value experience. Rarely do we in pre-sales get to experience or appreciate what that means firsthand.

The team at Homerun are top notch, forward thinking, knowledgeable pre-sale titans that have designed a solution that delivers immediate value on several aspects. We have gone from holding a candle in a windy dark tunnel attempting to answer questions and clean meaningful information to huge spotlight shining the way forward on where we should go and what issues we should address. What an awesome way to start the year!

Homerun is truly a grand slam! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Homerun Presales team is a Leader's Best Friend!"
5/5
What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

Homerun Presales was our success story for 2023! Homerun Presales and the team at Homerun were my most trusted partners and advisors as I built out our Global Presales organization this year. It helped me understand the things we should be thinking about as a leadership team.

Additionally, the POC templates are GOLD- this was what initially brought us to Homerun. For a product where over 90% of our deals go to POC, this has changed how we approach our POC's and our post-sale implementation.

My team has loved being a user of Homerun- it has made their day to day job easier, giving them an easier way to log their calls, their notes, and an easier way to stay focused on what is most important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Homerun Presales Platform?

I always appreciated the Homerun team's openness to hearing our feedback and ideas about the future product roadmap! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Phenomenal tool for sales engineers!"
5/5
What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

Before Homerun, every sales engineer on my team was utilizing a CRM that was more geared for account executives. For each opportunity within the CRM the SE had limited fields to provide meaningful context. Tracking activity from a KPI perspective was also a very manual and tedious.

With Homerun I can quickly assess the SEs sentiment for each opportunity to identify which deals are in a great, decent, or bad spot. It’s such a simple view but it’s amazing because context is king. This type of information allows my team and I to make informed decisions on when additional support is needed or if we should consider qualifying out of an opportunity and spend our time wisely elsewhere.

Tracking activity couldn’t be easier as Outlook integrates and syncs with Homerun on a regular cadence, so every meeting that each SE must track is automatically populated within the platform and very rarely has to be entered manually. Homerun continues to get better for the team and I as we continue to leverage additional modules within the platform such as the “Feature Requests” and “Evaluation Plans” component. Excited to see what Homerun has in store for its customers next and greatly appreciate the consistent support we get from the Homerun team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Homerun Presales Platform?

I would like for there to be a manager's notes section within each opportunity. When I have a one on one with an SE to review their opps I take notes, but all my notes are in a separate application. It would be nice to have everything in one place so the SE can refer back to my notes if need be without me having to DM them or email them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Homerun Presales Platform?

Prior to HR, our team was utilizing a CRM that had built with Sales reps in mind first. Much of the functions, fields and reporting was structured in a way that allowed for the sales team to have good insight into their business, but it made it very hard to track Sales Engineering metrics. Homerun has given our team the ability to build custom metrics, review sentiment on deals (separate from the sales reps) and therefore gauge pipeline better.

Tracking activity was also one of the biggest wins we had. Manually tracking activity in the CRM lead to misrepresented metrics and activities across the team, making it very difficult to make decisions on quota alignment year over year, areas of improvements that could be made and nearly impossible to identify what good looked like.

Lastly, the tool has revolutionized how we organize and track our POCs through the use of Evaluation Plans. These give us an easy format to provide Success Criteria to the prospect, transfer documents the prospect and evaluate overall success rates of POCs. At the end of the day, the ease of use and learning curve is very low. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Homerun Presales Platform?

I would like for there to be more granular tracking under the Evaluation Plans that allow us to measure each specific line item/Success Criteria and the time taken on each so that we can more granularly track what is being used the most in a POC, where are we getting stuck etc. With that said, the HR team has committed to building this out. Another positive item working with these folks. If we need it, they will find a way to build it. Customer support has been great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
