What is CI Radar?

Competitive Intelligence Radar ("CI Radar") uses a “hybrid” approach of AI technology plus our internal analyst team to achieve 99% accuracy along with much greater depth of intelligence than what “software only” solutions can deliver. We do the work for you, freeing up client resources to work on higher-value tasks. In addition, with plug-in integrations for Salesforce, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Slack and others, it’s easy to deliver key information directly to specific audiences. This include sales teams which benefit from our automated updates to Sales Battlecards within your favorite CRM leads to drive higher win rates against the competition.

Product Description

CI Radar is an all-in-one competitive intelligence solution for businesses.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

-- Innovation and disruption monitoring to stay ahead – We monitor new markets, innovation, changing ecosystems, technology trends and more to assess the impact on clients' markets. Other vendors tend to focus on competitor websites and their digital footprint missing key trends.
-- Daily curation by your personal CI Radar research analyst - Every day your personal analyst spends hours reviewing all worldwide content to remove irrelevant items, rewriting summaries and transforming each item into exactly what it means. Other vendors tend to offer only “helpdesk” analysts which force you to login to a portal every day wasting time.
-- Deliver deeper insights with “below the waterline” documents - Our AI technology finds key documents not publicized in newsfeeds and NOT found on competitor websites. These valuable documents may include product roadmaps, sales presentations, pricing PDFs, RFPs, feature comparisons and more. Other vendors miss this depth of information leaving you at risk.

What do you like best about CI Radar?

We've embedded CI Radar in our Sharepoint which allows easy access for everyone in the organisation. The CI Radar team has been helpful every time I've asked them questions. The pieces of news featured in our feed are usually relevant, and if not, you can always tell the team so that they know what is of interest to you/the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CI Radar?

I think CI Radar delivers on what we need it for: getting relevant news/competitive insights from one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integrate CI Radar with other platforms for a seamless experience. In our case, we have it in our team's SharePoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CI Radar?

The frequency that we receive updates and articles is excellent. We've been able to customize and update the parameters of the competitive alerts we receive, which has provided agility in collecting relevant information as market trends and strategies change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CI Radar?

I've had a few instances where the articles sent have been behind paywalls, which I don't have access to. I've also seen some duplication in the articles that are included in email updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CI Radar solving and how is that benefiting you?

CI Radar minimizes the time and effort required to stay up to date on competitive and industry knowledge. It allows me to spend my time more efficiently while conducting market research. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CI Radar?

Once the curation is tuned, having the daily automated industry news feed is really useful. Our team relies on this service to publish a daily curated digest of relevant news with commentary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CI Radar?

The UI is a bit dated compared to other modern SaaS services. Being able to self-manage which competitors and topics we track would significantly enhance the current change request process via email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CI Radar solving and how is that benefiting you?

My team needs to stay abreast of relevant industry and competitive news, blogs, tweets, etc., without spending a lot of time combing through individual sites and sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CI Radar?

It's has great capabilities to keep you connected to your industry. The Customer are success team does a great job insuring the information is valuable. It also has some great capabilities in Salesforce for sales enablement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CI Radar?

The UI is a bit outdated, but it doesn't matter cause the tool works as it should. It doesn't feel modern, but we don't mind cause it doesn't take away from the value. Also wish we could integrate it with Chorus or Gong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CI Radar solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have the finger on the pulse of our industry better than we did with google alerts. Saves time, the cost is great. It's easy to justify it and make a business case for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CI Radar?

CI Radar delivers exactly what we want -- well-curated instances of competitor postings or "events" in the public sphere. It's also nice that the output is available as an embedable RSS feed or a widget , not only as SaaS. Other vendors offer more "frills" for a higher price. Even CI Radar provides features and capabilities we don't use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CI Radar?

Some of the fonts and graphics of the exported deliverables could use some work. The tool does not seem designed to create customizable deliverables for an executive audience. There have been some "growing pains" in terms of data management, but there has been gradual improvement in the tool's maturity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CI Radar solving and how is that benefiting you?

For a fairly complete set of competitors, CI Radar allows us to stay current on what our competition is communicating to their external stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CI Radar?

I like the email notification alerts and the ability to 'mark as read' the articles I've seen, but also leaving notes for future reference and for others to read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CI Radar?

There's nothing I really dislike. I suppose the platform itself could have a nicer, softer UI. At the moment, it's very functional and has an old-school Microsoft feel about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CI Radar solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to keep a pulse on competitor activity, being alerted to happenings across the industry in a timely manner which allows me to focus on what's important in my role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
