Consensus

Pros

The feeling of accomplishment one receives when transforming a live demo into digitized collateral and then seeing prospects consume what you have created.

Cons

You have to be a realist and understand that it takes time and effort to create the content. There's just no way around it!

Pros

Consensus provides an excellent platform for you to showcase the very best of your product in a way your prospects can easily understand and engage with. The insights you can draw from prospect interaction with Consensus videos go a long way to helping you find out why your prospects will buy your solution.

Cons

We had a few issues with integrating Consensus in our Salesforce environment. However, their support team was able to iron out the kinks in a short period of time.

Reasons for Switching to Consensus

Pros

Love the watch metrics, especially being able to see which sections they viewed the most often of a demo video

Cons

Wish I could create more customized demo flows, where we can link different single experience demos together in a customized advanced branching demo to send to a single customer

Pros

I like the ability to connect with prospects and customers with more than just an email. Having an email with not only an intent but as well as a gift is a game changer that I believe a lot of customers appreciate and so that is what I like most about Consensus. The door of opportunity that opens when we have Consensus is a tool that seperates us from what others are doing and allows us to stand out.

Cons

When I think of consensus I have never seen it as something I don't like. I am always excited and hopeful when I use it to allow me the ability to change from the normal approach.

Pros

Consensus has been such an aid in helping strengthenthe sale. The gmail plug-in makes it so easy to add into email conversations with our clients. Our team has pretty high level content that we used to add as hyperlink or an attachment, but Consensus gives me better visibility into if my content is landing. It also give me insight into the content that’s not working. I literally use it everyday multiple times a day!

Cons

Not sure theres anything i would change about it

Pros

Makes my life easier, multi threading to multiple clients

Cons

integration to gmail is sometimes choppy.

Pros

Super easy to use, also allows me to send quick demos to prospects so they can easily access them and I can track when they viewed and all the metrics behind it! :)

Cons

I think the UI could be a little cleaner, but overall still a fan.

Pros

Consensus makes personalizing demos super easy. You just upload a few recordings, and within minutes, you can create a tailored demo playlist to send to clients. The impact on the sales process is huge—teams see deals closing faster, and there’s a noticeable boost in success after just a couple of months of using the tool. It’s a real game-changer for improving client engagement and speeding up the sales cycle.

Cons

Overall there isn't much to dislike - its simple and powerful

Pros

Its straight forward and really easy to use

Cons

Can be a little tedious setting up the email

Pros

Consensus is easy to use and simple to teach other teams how to use.

Cons

Some features are hard to understand at first. But with the help of support it is easy to solve.

Pros

Easy to learn, easy to use. I can get a ton of information out to my Prospects showing them details for each of our different systems. It would be nearly impossible to transfer this much info as quickly using a standard personalized email format. Also, the analytical tools in Consensus allow my team leadership to track the effectiveness of my Consensus usage.

Cons

No cons to speak of. It is a great tool to have for my daily tasks.

Pros

Sales cycles are must faster and the engagement of prospects

Cons

No complaints at this time. Everything has been amazing with this product.

Pros

I firmly believe that seeing is believing - even if it is "just" a standard demo. Being able to showcase your business efficiently and even send meeting recordings to ensure all video documentation is in one place. The hard job Is not in the tool but in the content creation and maintenance. I use Consensus on all our customer engagements. You could say why don't we send a link to the recording - we could, but then we will miss the statistics for views, not to forget the discovery of new stakeholders. I recommend Consensus for showcasing videos and freeing time for consultants doing standard demos. The fun and real value is in the customized demo after the initial standard demo - and you often need a consultant since things need to be in the customer context and with customer data

Cons

Even though Consensus is a great tool, there are - as for so many other things - room for improvement - a few things:
- A library of all videos
- Tagging
- Favorites
- Customers only want one link for all demos - it needs to be easier to add video later on and keep the statistic
- Document and link overview for all content
- Faster development of new functionality

Pros

I like the ease of use and visibility into what my prospects/customers are looking into

Cons

I do not like how we can not group together videos to make a folder or an easier way to share a group of video assets for a specific project.

Pros

Easy to use. Allows you to track which part of the video has been watched - allowing you to see which bits the customer is engaged with

Cons

Does not auto-complete so if you are sending more than one video out to the same customer, you have to type all of their details in each time

Pros

Love how easy it is to use and be able to provide recordings to clients to help with closing deals.

Cons

Nothing its amazing and I recommend to everyone!

Pros

It has been so powerful within our Sales Org to be able to provide our buyers with the right information at the right time. Consensus is helping us to qualify (in/ out) more quickly, leading to a faster sales cycle. The integration with Gmail is working spotlessly and it was incredibly easy to learn and use Consensus (took about 20 minutes to understand and get used to it).

Cons

Nothing I can think of, other than a couple of permissioning issues which are coming up because of the way our org has set Consensus up.

Pros

It's easy to use and flexible from a timing standpoint.

Cons

I don't see any gaps at this time and am an avid fan.

Pros

Send personalised demos and videos in minutes.

Cons

Nothing worth noting regarding anything i dislike.

Pros

Consensus is easily one of the most useful tools in our technology stack. It allows us to easily send and track demoboards sent to customers and helps to identify new individuals who we should contact to help move deals forward. The user interface is easy to understand and grasp.

Cons

There are very few cons while using consensus.

Pros

I like our demo library that our team has put together. It allows for quick 2-6 minute overviews of specific silos of our platforms for follow up and to help generate business.

Cons

That we don't have a demo board where a client can pick and choose multiple demos in 1 link. I heard it's on their roadmap?

Pros

Consensus allows us to send personalize demos to clients to gauge interest ahead of our client calls.

Cons

It can be time consuming to create all the content needed to send to clients.

Pros

The ability to share pre recorded demonstrations with customers. It means I don't have to go back to them to show them how do perform a particular function. The customer can share with their colleagues too which again aids the sales process.

Cons

can be challenging to find videos sometimes.

Pros

It's not just a platform for sending videos to buyers, it's a platform for sending true, personalized demos to buyers. Also really like the demolytics - ability to gain insight to what buyers are watching and interested in.

Cons

No library/repository for video files, video files are all uploaded individually within each demo. Some demolytics take a lot of clicks to get to the true insight.

Alternatives Considered

Pros

Ability to share content with prospects and to then be able to track the journey and their engagement!

Cons

Nothing to be honest. The product is great!
