Discern Overview

What is Discern?

Successful businesses are founded on exceptional execution, which is driven by a deep understanding of key performance indicators (KPIs) and data insights. Achieving data clarity is challenging when sales, marketing, customer, billing, and financial data are siloed across disconnected systems and spreadsheets. Enter Discern. We automate the heavy lifting of business performance analytics, such as pipeline tracking, ARR, NRR analytics, and marketing attribution, turning what used to be days of manual reconciliation or years of BI builds into automated, real-time insights. No more wrestling with spreadsheets or questioning your numbers – just clear, consistent performance data you can trust. But we didn't stop there. Because in this new environment, understanding your own performance is only half the story. You also need industry context – and we're not talking about stale benchmarks released annually, but rather straight-from-the-source benchmarks that pick up on market changes just as they begin to manifest. Whether you're running team meetings, fine-tuning your strategy, prepping for a big board meeting, or pitching new investors, Discern helps you operate with confidence. Our combination of automated performance analytics and real-time, system-validated benchmarks gives you the complete story behind your performance, so you can focus on making the decisions that matter.

What do you like best about Discern?

Product itself: all the right dashboards for Exec to track activity & sales leaders to drive their teams based on data > a lot of knowledge/ intelligence has been put in the product & it's way better than building reports from scratch

Speed of installation: within 2 weeks, you can already get great insights

Customer service: all requests are answered so fast! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discern?

Not much.

I'm guessing we can get constraints at some point if we want to go deeper in data analysis/ cross different data sources, but so far, Discern product has evolved quicker than our needs (and team is so agile they handled things quickly if there is a real evolution need) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Discern solving and how is that benefiting you?

Pipeline monitoring

Sales leaders 1o1 with team members: structure to lead discussions based on what has moved - or not moved - in the pipeline over the past week or 2

Comparison of sales KPI (ASP, sales cycle, etc.) per region & deal origin Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Discern is a very useful tool and easy to use!!

People are very available to help you and to answer all your questions.

It allows good visualization of your data.

I recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discern?

What can be less easy is that we cannot do change ourselves.

We have to ask for every change.

The Discern Marketing part seems to be less accurate for us but maybe in the future! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Discern?

Salesforce out-of-the-box reports and dashboards are clunky and hard to manage. Tableau needs a lot of configuration to get me the charts and graphs I really want. Discern gives me all the charts and graphs, and all the data, that our sales leaders and I need to manage our business, without having to build everything ourselves in Tableau. With very minimal configuration, I can see a holistic view of our pipeline, forecast and rep productivity for the first time.

Beyond just getting all the data I want, their predictive analytics are insanely good. For example, within a week of the start of Q2, Discern was within $10K of where we ended the quarter. By day 10, it was exactly on target. Unreal. We now use the Opportunity Score predictions it produces as one of our key metrics to measure pipeline hygiene. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Discern?

Administrative tools and ability to edit some things more on our end would be helpful I suppose, but honestly the Discern team is so responsive and agile it's a non-issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Discern solving and how is that benefiting you?

Someone I worked for once said "when the lights turn on, the cockroaches scatter." Or, similarly, "sunlight is the best disinfectant."

Before Discern, we lacked full visibility of our pipeline, which obscured or hid poor opportunity hygiene, because no one could properly measure and inspect it. Discern is like throwing open the window shades on the business and making it much harder, or impossible, to hide bad behavior. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Discern?

What do you dislike about Discern?

I don't have anything that I dislike so far except that g2 forces me to enter the right number of caracter in this box. So here I am writing this long message for nothing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Discern solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working on Salesforce and do not have a powerfull BI tool in place so far. We had difficulty to look at aggregated data, to historize it and to give actionnable data to our sales manager. With Discern we earned 1 year on this topic in only 2 months. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Discern?

So far so good. The tool does what it's supposed to. It connects to SaaS configured SFDC instances and the CS team gets you up and running very quickly. Within one month of launch, we are already centering ELT conversations around the tool. New functionality appears frequently and is on-the-mark. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
