From day one, they were organized, knowledgeable, and always quick to answer questions.

But layering that into the hiring plan is probably the most powerful thing that Lative offers our team. **What do you dislike about Lative?** As a sysadmin, I wish they surfaced more configuration options to admins. They make up for this by being incredibly hands-on partners that are happy to jump in to solve config issues on their side.

I've had many scenarios over the past few years where having Lative would have enabled me to simulate and make strategy decisions much faster, and they keep iterating with new capabilities every few months. **What do you dislike about Lative?** As with any useful piece of Revenue software the biggest value comes when you integrate this with existing systems especially finance, however this can be challenging in an enterprise business - where you would ideally want Finance and HR data points alongside your CRM. **What problems is Lative solving and how is that benefiting you?** I've been evaluating Lative's capabilities as part of a future buying cylcle and i can see it gives a really fast path to simulating both the current sales productivity and potential, as well as building scenarios for future deplyoments, shifts in strategy & structure, along with managing potential with ramp times or role shifts.
