Prophet and its ACT competitor are both CRM software. The ACT competitor while being a solid product does not have the rich list of features that Prophet does. There are many things about the ACT competitor that make it inferior to Prophet, so read below to get a good idea of what the head to head differences are.
The ACT Competitor Disadvantage
Prophet’s ACT competitor has been a popular software in the industry for many years. As a consumer this is not a benefit to you. Our ACT competitor already has a large list of companies that it counts among its clients, but you are not on that list. When in a crisis who do you think will be more important, you or them? While our ACT competitor has continued to lose market share quarter over quarter, Prophet is gaining new customer in large amounts because we know how to take care of and service new clients. Is enough to be an industry leader, or unlike our ACT competitor to you the customer demand more?
There are substantial differences between Prophet and its ACT competitor. The first is our target markets. While our ACT competitor is designed for large enterprise level clientele our software can be used by companies of all sizes. We value our mid and small level companies as much as the large enterprise contracts. Each user presents their own challenges and unique needs, and unlike our ACT competitor we strive to make each client as important as possible. This means better support, better service, and a better product.
While I could sit here and denigrate the ACT competitor, I would prefer to talk about the features of Prophet that make it stand out from its ACT competitor. The first is the ability to look at numbers, facts, figures and quotas quickly. In our ACT competitor you can look at these things as well, but with Prophet the integration and ability to bring the data forward is vastly superior. The Prophet software uses the sales dashboard to quickly and concisely consolidate data into charts and graphs that anyone can read. In addition, unlike our ACT competitor, these charts and graphs are optimized to load quickly through you email client of choice so that you or your employees can check them quickly. Unlike our ACT competitor no one in your organization can claim to not have quick access to relevant data.
In addition to this, the Prophet program offers full integration with all of your Microsoft products. While our ACT competitor will integrate with Windows the level of integration is not on the same level as the Prophet software. The integration in Prophet takes all of the information and uses Windows to present it an easy to load easy to read manner. This separates us from our ACT competitor and makes IT people happy.
The quotes in Prophet are much more customizable than the ones found in our ACT competitor’s program. You can fully adjust and tailor the quote to your individual client so unlike the ACT competitor each quote is unique and the same. You can carry the same logo, same company information, and same layout but fully adjust and tailor any other portion of the quote to the client’s need. While some of this is possible within our ACT competitor’s software, Prophet makes this process easy and seamless.
As you can see there are differences between Prophet and our ACT competitor software, but in all I prefer the ease and integration of the Prophet software. This is not to say that the ACT competitor software is bad, just that for my money I want a program and a company that I feel I can work with. I do not get that from our ACT competitor. Their company does many things well, but I feel that Avidian has taken care of me and my small business better than I could have ever anticipated. If I had to do it all over again I would not hesitate to buy Prophet over any ACT competitor software. The tools are there to do exactly what I need, and the software simply makes my and my sales team’s lives easier. |
