"ReferenceEdge is My Favorite Advocacy Tool!"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

ReferenceEdge makes customer advocacy so much easier to manage. It allows for our sales teams to successful with the use of the references in RefEdge. Alongside that, RefEdge allows for us to track all of our marketing activities and keep track of important data on our advocates.

Also, our CSM, Alison Stellar is absolutely AMAZING!! Whenever we are in need of support or guidance, Alison was always ready to assist and share her knowledge. I highly recommend Alison to be your CSM if you're thinking of getting RefEdge! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Identify references quickly to accelerate sales motions"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

The software allows you to customize profiles to align with your company's solutions, products, use cases, etc. That is critical to capturing the right information for GTM to easily identify references for their customers. I also love the account managers - all great. This is the third time I have used ReferenceEdge, and their account relationship managers and leadership care about your success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

Customizations are often not easy, but Point of Reference is open to them if they are also a priority for other users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool, great support!"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

ReferenceEdge has everything we need in one tool! As the admin, I can manage all our reference accounts and content, create reports and dashboards to measure our progress, and manage the request process from beginning to end. Sales and marketing users can easily search through our reference content, nominate customers to become references, identify relevant reference accounts, and submit requests – all without leaving Salesforce! Plus, its extensive feature list provides essential core functionality, along with the flexibility to customize the system and workflows to meet our specific needs.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

I haven't encountered any downsides with ReferenceEdge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Salesforce native and easy to use for account owners"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

Moving from a spreadsheet to an RMS like ReferenceEdge helped increase our awareness of customer advocates and monitor the activities that our advocates participate in. Being salesforce native made it a seemless integration into our crm. The process for account owners to find and approve peer to peer calls is easy to use and understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

It can be a little clunky on the reference/customer advocacy teams in terms of tracking activities, but we've also only tapped the surface of what they system can do. As we utilize the system fully, I'm sure the clunkiness will be less of an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and scalable reference tool!"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

ReferenceEdge has helped us go from a program that was difficult to use and impossible to report on to knowing exactly when and how our Sales team uses the program and the direct ROI of our references. The tool is very easy for our sellers to leverage and we've been able to make quite a few customizations to make it work even better for our organization. We've been able to use this tool to support not only reference management but also content sharing for things like case studies and quotes. The support we get from RefEdge is fantastic, they're very receptive to product enhancement ideas and are always making improvements. Our business systems team helps us manage the backend of ReferenceEdge and continuously raves about the positive experience of working with ReferenceEdge. Their product releases are always comprehensive and easy for the team to implement. Working with this vendor has been the ideal experience for our team! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

I'll be honest, I can't think of a downside to ReferenceEdge! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines the reference request process creating great value for the company"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

ReferenceEdge is a Salesforce app that is a seamless transition between the two platforms. It enhances the efficiency as it doesn’t feel like another system to learn. The customization options allows us to tailor the configuration to our needs. Point of Reference is committed to customer satisfaction by seeking feedback and implementing enhancements to meet their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

As this is an application within Salesforce, we are limited by constraints of the environment when it comes to user permissions and reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feature-rich Customer Advocacy Tool with Great Salesforce Integration"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

ReferenceEdge enables sales teams and customer account managers to manage reference requests and recording reference use without using their core Salesforce screens. It's intuitive to use and requires very little training to get users up-to-speed. It's feature rich and I particularly like that it's fairly configurable to map to different reference program initiatives. The dashboards provide helpful metrics on the health of your customer advocacy program.

The reference search capabilities are good and you can search on keywords as well as by your configurable filters.

I like that I can configure and use manual attributes to add to accounts so I can build in reference use cases.

The account team are great partners and really address and own any issues you have in ReferenceEdge. It feels that they are invested in the success of your advocacy program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

The reference prospector features are a bit clunky but I believe it is on the roadmap to address and to enhance this aspect of the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reference queue is easy to use, lays everything out simply and makes my job easier when I have every reference activity right in front of me. I am able to send notifications through ReferenceEdge to fulfill requests and having the ability to do it in ReferenceEdge on one platform is crucial to the success of our reference program.

Not really anything - we have been pleased with our implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
