"Great product and service"

There is so much to do and so much functionality to implement. Our org hasn't gotten to all of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Strategic partnership, commitment to success"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

Amazing functionality.

Native to Salesforce streamlined deployment, upleveled cross-company support.

Company's trademark strategic, thoughtful, and expert guidance, combined with constant ongoing support and advocacy, beats any other vendor.

Side benefit is learning Salesforce, which is a valuable professional advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

Not a product failure, but any database requires data maintenance.

We use reports and dashboards to proactively flag disconnects ongoing, and also spot check request results to opportunistically catch them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Sr. Director of Engagement & Advocacy"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

If your team is on Salesforce, ReferenceEdge resides as a Salesforce native solution with an excellent user interface that will allow rapid adoption and very pleased stakeholders!

The Point of Reference Team, from initial engagement, evaluation, implementation, and ongoing consultation of best practices is fantastic.

ReferenceEdge has a broad feature set from asset management and identification of reference nominees to automation in scheduling reference conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

The biggest challenge to date has been the migration of manual, or non-existent, processes into ReferenceEdge. This has been more of a reflection of our own operational differences and complexities across business units than a shortcoming with the ReferenceEdge product or team.

The Point of Reference Project Manager and executive thought leadership has played a great role in helping us reach our outcomes.

I'd recommend phased deployment of product functionality to realize early wins and great adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ReferenceEdge has been a game changer"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

We use ReferenceEdge to house all our reference content. It used to take hours to find relevant content, but now with ReferenceEdge, we can search through hundreds of reference assets to find the right asset to help our sales teams close deals faster.

We also use ReferenceEdge reports to create dashboards to show our entire organization what we have in our reference pipeline, what assets we've published, and how those references have contributed to our closed-won business.

The support we get from ReferenceEdge is best in class as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

It can undoubtedly follow the garbage in, garbage out concept. Consider high-level strategy and real-world use cases when implementing to make it truly impactful. But the tool becomes most valuable once you've nailed down your process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have so many products and modules - I wish that it was easier to segment "attributes" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Nicely integrated with SalesForce so I'm comfortable with using it"
What do you like best about ReferenceEdge?

ReferenceEdge takes away a lot of the aches and pains I used to feel when trying to collect data for my customers. Because I am familiar with SalesForces, I am familiar with ReferenceEdge. it is a smooth transition and userability to accomplish what is need with accurate data and resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

I think this is a very solid platform and user friendly, but I feel that you have to be very on top of your data and inserting information in order to really take advantage of the real-time metrics analytics. That can be a burden at times and add up minor tasks in my day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ReferenceEdge?

The salesforce integration is very nice but could use some additional functionality, especially when working amongst a large subset of customer reviews or when trying to tie in more internal team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
