Game-Changer When It Comes to Sales Enablement Platforms
The ease of activation and the intuitiveness for our reps truly set vPlaybook apart from other visual sales enablement platforms we've trialed in the past. The ability for a sales rep to log in from the field, find a piece of content that's tailor-made for them, and capitalize immediately is an incredible asset for out organization.
CONSTruly, there isn't anything I would change about vPlaybook. The support team is fantastic to put out small fires or implement changes whenever they're needed.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your feedback, Spencer! Our partnership with Comcast is valued. All the best, Allison Banks May; CSM

An invaluable resource for sales team and certification
The vPlaybook from DSG was sourced and implemented to solve a few business and enablement needs for our company. We needed a central location where we could access key sales messaging such as customer profiles, business value, objection handling and assets that can be accessed online or offline. A bonus we began to utilize more after we rolled it out was the Challenges portion and that we use for certification and learning tracking.
CONSAs with all new systems, there are a few items that will take repeated use to master and use on a regular basis. With the resource drawer, we initially had issues with new assets being added appearing at the bottom rather than at the top. Customer support was able to correct that but there is still a drawback in reordering items that have been previously uploaded.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your review, Paul! We'd be happy to assist with reordering the resources that were uploaded before the change; shoot us an email at support@vplaybook.com.

Admin setup of vPlaybook experience
Overall is positive. vPlaybook will help us in deploying a new sales style and training to it. It is going to be a great leap in the right direction for our company. I had a very good experience working with the teams at DSG and vPlaybook to deploy and config the tool in our org.
PROSI mostly enjoyed working in parallel with the team at DSG and vPlaybook. I found everyone to be very easy to work with and willing to help on a moment's notice. Instructions were often clear and concise. The business rules are easy to set up, the playbook is easy to add to Salesforce record pages and experience cloud pages, overall a positive experience.
CONSSeems a bit static - just a iframe on a record detail page. Open the iframe and information is available. Business rules are driven by fields only. Maybe if we could display pages to certain users a certain number of times that would be advantageous. As a company we are exploring myTrailhead for a training platform, the team at DSG felt they can meet our needs, but I disagree. The UX of vPlaybook is functional and does what it is supposed to, but doesn't feel like a state-of-the-art tool to me.
Vendor Response
Hey Jason - thank you for the thoughtful review! We're happy that the experience has been good, and hope to partner with you as we enhance our integrations in the near-future.

Very satisfied with vPlaybook
We are enabling our sales team (and now our product/marketing team) to have access to great methodology and best practice content in a secure an easy way.
PROSThe integration with SFDC is a must to enable our team to use the platform. The ease of access once in SFDC is great. The on-going support from the dev team was really a game changer to help us enable new features and improve user experience (copy paste, translation tool, drag and drop, etc.)
CONSI think our translation firm would have like to be involved in the development of the translation tool to better suite their needs.

Happy Client
The vPlaybooks are a great new tool we have on the Sales Enablement team. It provides a dynamic way to train and certify sales roles at ACI. Obviously, when a new tool is launched, it takes some time so people can understand how to use it and the benefits it brings, so some people is a bit skeptical about it. I personally think is a great tool for our team, I love it!
PROSI really liked the challenge feature because it enables to roll-out training and certification for various teams, but integrating the manager role. Managers can know how their teams are progressing, provide feedback and score. Last year we launched a certification without this tool and it was complicated, but this year with DSG the certification project was easier (launching, enrolling, managers scoring, reporting, etc.).
CONSIn the reporting part, specifically for challenges, you have to select many times the challenge title to include it that report. It would be easier if you can select the challenge title just one time.
Reason for choosing vPlaybook
I was not part of the decision-making so I'm not sure about the other alternatives on the table. However, I feel very happy that ACI leaders purchased the vPlaybook tool, it is an asset for our Sales Enablement team.
Vendor Response
Hey Victoria - we've enjoyed seeing the success with ACI! We are currently scaling some exciting updates to the Reporting console. Stay tuned!

Our Sales Enablement Everything!
The vPlaybook continues to impress me as both a user and an admin in a few ways. First and foremost, their ability to keep making improvements on it really aligns with how we operate as in SaaS as well. For our sales organization, the vPlaybook tool is an ideal vehicle for all of the content they need at their fingertips and its ability to be online/mobile helps with our need to be agile. From an admin standpoint, the reporting and coaching functionality have enabled us to track ROI flawlessly!
CONSI know it is on the roadmap, but global search I believe is the biggest missing feature at this time.
Vendor Response
Hi Rachael - so glad we have been able to have a great partnership the past few years. We expect to release the global search this spring!

Excellent Sales Enablement toolkit .....
The most popular features are the "Conversation Prompter" and "Objections" pages. Our sales team is comprised of independent reps, so they have many manufacturers vying for their time (and mind share). These two pages enable them to have a couple of great tools to take into any sales meeting and address concerns while at the same time adding value for our customers.
CONSPulling reports is a little "clunky," and adding dashboards that capture different measureables (pageviews, etc) visually would be a great tool to add.
Vendor Response
Hey Mike - thanks for your feedback! We love that the sales team has utilized the Playbook content created by DSG. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Robroy as we continue to enhance the UI. All the best, Allison Banks May; CSM

I have been using the vPlaybook for a number of years now and it is a great tool for enablement
Providing a point for consistent sales messaging. This tool tends to be most useful in onboarding.
PROSIt gives the Sales teams the ability to access the sales messaging in the field. The softwareitself seems very flexible to build upon.
CONSThe reports are not as user friendly as they potentially could be. There is an opportunity to build gamification into the GUI that could help people use the vplaybook more.

Great training and development tool!
Overall, this is a great quality training, development and enablement tool. I highly recommend it.
PROSThe software is very easy to administer and use. It's designed to be user-friendly for both normal users and administrators. Transitioning throughout the software is very seamless.
CONSIt took some time to learn how to use the editor as the editor functions are unique to vPlaybook. Once I was able to understand, it became a lot easier to make edits and changes.

Honestly, that has been a nice experience. It helps me think of "what to say" and "how to say it". And also allows me to house all of our messaging, positionings, and talking points in one place.
PROSIt has the ability to report on activities from the playbook which very useful by the way, and also to edit on the fly is also great. The support team is excellent. Easy to navigate and use as the admin.
CONSThe reporting function can be done more better.

DSG is great to work with. They are extremely experience in sales enablement / training and playbook design best practices. Customer support was very responsive when needed.
PROSDSG vPlaybook is flexible, easy to use (to create playbooks), and nicely integrated with SalesForce. Integrated challenges really help reinforce learning and the newly added quiz feature is welcomed.
