None so far, with Showpad you can do anything and can be easily integrated with any other tool and is also user-freindly and easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to work 24/7 is critical for sales. We want to be available when our clients/customers are available. Showpad makes this happen as they can access materials any time without needing to download numerous items; all shared seamlessly. Compounded multi-tasking at its best! This supports me as a salesperson doing more in the small amount of time I have. I also love using the Powerpoint presentations I can utilize through Showpad on Teams Meetings, as well as video. Showpad is critical to my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Presently, there is nothing I dislike about it since the email feature was updated and improved upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The part that I think is most interesting is the ability to organize any kind of digital content, in a very simple way.

The GUI is really intuitive and allows users to find and share files while saving a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using showpad within my business organization for about 3 years and I must say that I have not encountered any negative points. Improvements are made every year, and it has come to a really good version lately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Showpad brings unified content management and integration with our Salesforce CRM home in a way that other platforms don't. It's helped us create a professional sales enablement tool for our team when speaking to prospects that syncs with all of their activity in both Salesforce and Outlook, making adoption easy on them and version control easy on us. There are a lot of options to customize the experience for your business, and the reporting system is simple, easy to use, and highly effective from both an organizational and individual standpoint.

It's a little more expensive on a per-user basis than many competitors, setting up new experiences could be more intuitive, and there are a few key integrations (like HubSpot) that aren't fully fleshed out yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Showpad as a platform is easier to set up, update, and get ready for the sales team. Its integration with Outlook is also an added advantage. The analytics part is helping us understand our customer journey and the flow of information in a particular organisation. As your team members start using it frequently, their ease of use will Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They can process most of the file formats. But if it is a complex PDF with a lot of layers, it may sometimes not process it. But this will not be a huge issue as there are workarounds the support team can help. Otherwise, I feel it does a good job for the intended functionalities. They can give an update to compare analytics month on month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Showpad has become a valuable resource for our field team, allowing us to design a series of libraries and more, hosting all types of content to ensure the best possible user experience. What's even better is that it allows us to accurately track how the shared material is being used. I appreciate that the support team is always available to answer questions. Currently, we make use of the libraries, coach, shared spaces, and homepages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like the ability to design for mobile (I believe this is already in progress). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the flexibility Showpad, how easy it is to share information and large files and track who is opened and looked at information I've shared. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike if I create a shared space and the file gets updated I have to go into each shared space and manually update it rather than it happen automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We came from a world where we had a very messy document repository of sales assets and no control on versions - with Showpad, it is really simple to use, sellers have their key content at their finger tips and there are powerful customer sharing capabilities. Now, Showpad is regarded as an essential tool within our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an administrator, the back-end and the reporting is not always easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Showpad makes it very easy to centralize all sales content and share it with prospects, clients, and partners. The integration with Salesforce makes it easy to tie and track activities back to the sales opportunity and most importantly, Shared Spaces have become our defacto means of communicating and collaborating with our prospects during key stages of the deal. I've been always impressed with the Showpad team about understanding our use cases, taking our feedback and making requests back to their product team to continuously improve their features and functionality.

There are still a few concerns about having unauthorized users accessing sensitive content when Showpad links can be forwarded on and on. Showpad has built some safeguards (such as link expiration dates, limitation to download), however, this still doesn't prevent share links from getting propagated and viewed by unintended recipients.

I think the cellphone accessibility is what makes ShowPad stick out for our business. With limited cell service and quick-needs, it is nice to have a tool that is compatible with our cellphones. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I could benefit from a dictionary provided. It seems like many of the options are similar and better education to how to manage and organize content would be helpful. However, the team is amazing and provide great support whenever needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
