The assortment of decks is quite enormous. There is a slide template for almost every business purpose. The user tools for editing slides are user-friendly for me. I like the way our decks can record viewer information to analyze feedback we can use for statistics and adjustments to other decks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to use. We've evaluated other screen share solutions and I always push to keep Clearslide. I've used Clearslide at previous companies also and my experience has always been thee same- super easy to use. A lot of the people I am demoing don't necessarily use screen share tech every day and to some it's completely brand new. In either case it has consistently been easy for the prospect to see my screen/demo and get a visual Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once we used it, we realized it had severe latency on video conferencing, animations on Keynote and Powerpoint do not work (fixed later) rendering assets useless unless in PDFs, among other issues. I tried to work with them on it for months and finally had to migrate to other systems. I asked for a refund on performance. They switched account managers, gave me the runaround and finally denied my request based on contractual terms which they were within their rights to do...and it is clearly terrible treatment of a customer. They acknowledged the issues we were having but refused to accommodate us. If you work with this company, and I don't recommend it, be sure to negotiate refunds for performance or don't sign the contract or pay the bill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simply unreliable. The soft phone hasn't worked since we kicked off the program, and once a week the call will drop all participants on the line. When you're managing sales presentations and your technology is giving the participants a bad experience, something is wrong. Weekly calls to support have yet to solve any significant problems. I've also missed the ability to give participants on the call the ability to share their screen. WIth our license, you can only pass to other people who also have a clearslide account.

The product does not effectively translate data into sales. Also, their 90 day cancellation policy is very old school - designed to trap clients vs. retain them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I only received minimal benefits from Clearslide as we spent a lot of time uploading presentations and creative assets, only to find we could not access them in corporate presentations where internet access was restricted or slowed.

We utilize ClearSlide within our sales organization for sending materials to clients, presenting (both by phone & in person,) and for tracking purposes (both internal & external.)
When sending materials via a ClearSlide link you can effectively see additional information post-open such as the # of slides they viewed. The conference call line is convenient because it dials the # owner when someone joins the line. The suite of apps are helpful for outside sales people who need to present on the go.

ClearSlide is used by the regional sales team to deliver proposals and presentations to clients. It is also used by some of the sales staff at our resorts.
Extremely user friendly, the interface with gmail is fabulous as quick as attaching a document. The notification system tells me when my client has previewed the material, how much time was spent viewing and offers a perfect invitation to call and speak to the client to move the sales process to the next step. The responsiveness and enthusiasm of the ClearSlide support team is terrific. The detailed analysis and data available any time helps me to see what presentations are the most effective and how I need to direct my sales efforts to increase sales.

GoToMeeting and SalesCrunch were the competitors we reviewed but ClearSlide was further along in developing their video solution than both. ClearSlide also appeared to have more market momentum and growth than SalesCrunch at the time.
Delivery of video is significantly better than other options like GoToMeeting since it avoids upload latency. Tracking of follow-ups is a powerful analytical tool letting salespeople know if the prospect is still engaged after the meeting. Recording of sessions is helpful for training purposes. Storage of many presentations provides a central repository for documents across a team.

We were using Clearslide primarily for sales and marketing initiatives to present custom presentation for new prospective clients for in-person and online presentations.
Clearslide's auto-renew billing practices are brutal, and they do not inform customers before they charge your credit card. They should give customers alert in time so that they can reasonably cancel before the auto-renew period, especially if you cannot use their service. Clearslide doesn't always work well when you need it. If you are giving a presentation in a corporate environment with restricted internet access, you could be at a complete loss to deliver your presentation. Syncing issues abound, so it doesn't always make for a professional presentation option. Clearslide's customer success/customer support is non-existant in that they won't help you with issues - especially with billing and technical problems.

During my time at the AroundCampus Group (Formerly University Directories) our inside sales department used ClearSlide during our renewal period and we also used it for some new sales. I found that ClearSlide was generally easy for me as the presenter to use but often times it was confusing for our customers to get a gauge. My general observation was that they just didn't quite understand the concept of what ClearSlide was trying to do so it took a little bit of explaining. In terms of using ClearSlide in a sales capacity I think it has a market and that is for "new sales". Since most of what I was doing was account management and renewals, going through presentations on ClearSlide really didn't provide much value and often just made the renewal process even longer. It almost forced us to re-pitch our product when we didn't make enough changes to warrant a full presentation. In terms of the new sales we did virtually however, ClearSlide was extremely useful. It allowed us to present to prospects in a time efficient way and allowed us the opportunity to not travel out to the customers.

With this software, it has the potential to offer an inside look on when/where the customer is viewing the content of your email. If you are on the side of trying to acquire customers with an email blast, it shows you how many customers view the content and precisely how long they took (seconds) viewing the information sent.

Nearly impossible to cancel a contract. And even after contract is cancelled, impossible to unsubscribe to email notifications from the system.

I'm not sure if I have any cautionary tales or advice- it's been a good experience all in all it's been a positive experience.
