    Pros
    It helps me keep track of our advocates and match them to requests that are a good fit for them. It also allows me to protect them from overuse and recognize them for their contributions.
    Now my information is very organized and it's pretty easy for me to pull the information I need out of it. The RO team is very responsive and easy to work with.
    It was wonderful to have one place that held all our reference information, and it was easy to access and find the information that we needed within a few minutes, rather than hours.
    Cons
    Getting other aspects of the business on-board and trained on the application is sometimes difficult.
    Developer resources are limited - sometimes it can take a very long time to see enhancements to the platform. In some cases we have had to wait over a year on things to roll out.
    We implemented RO almost 2 years ago because we had no main hub for all of our content.

    Reference View has been a great too for me. I can keep track of

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    I'm able to organize information about or advocates that allows me to match them to requests, protect them from overuse, reward and recognize them for their contributions. I've been able to report trends and the impact that our advocates are having on our bottom line.

    Pros

    It helps me keep track of our advocates and match them to requests that are a good fit for them. It also allows me to protect them from overuse and recognize them for their contributions. We've grown our advocacy program a great deal over the last 3 years and I can't even imagine trying to do what we do out of a spreadsheet! Now my information is very organized and it's pretty easy for me to pull the information I need out of it. The RO team is very responsive and easy to work with.

    Cons

    There are a lot of features/fields that we don't use, so there's some clutter, but it's not a problem to work around it.

    modern and supportive

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Able to handle all historical data on all referenceable customers which enables sales/marketing to easily find customers that they are searching for which empowers them to do a good job!

    Pros

    Easy to use. Like the Dashboards that were created for us when we first came onto the software. It doesn't ever seem to be slow to respond, usually very quick.

    Cons

    Does not have the capability to show you how often you have used a reference without running a report and when viewing the Requests queue, we can not view by person on the team that the request has been assigned to - again, you have to run a report.

    Decent starting point for young reference programs

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    We are not using the content/spotlight features, although I wish we were. Without leveraging this functionality, I am not sure that the software is worth its cost. It is helpful to organize and track reference notes, but reporting is challenging.

    Pros

    RO provides a nice framework for a company who is getting started with a reference program. The search functionality to search for customer and/or content by criteria such as use case, industry, key competitor, ex... is very helpful.

    Cons

    Admin reporting requires a bit of manual attention before it is useful. Email notifications triggered by the system are a poor user experience.

    Best in class, but needs work.

    Reviewed 4 years ago
    Pros

    RO Enablement is the best in class reference management platform available. Full featured, flexible, and many, many options. RO has options for not only reference management, but Content (Marketing Asset) sharing, and sales ennoblement tools.

    Cons

    Does not live up to the sales pitch in many areas. The User interface is dated (even the new Responsive design). Reporting is clunky. Total lack of modern "Dashboard" views.

    RO Innovation is an excellent customer advocacy tool that I use daily

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Finding reference customers

    Pros

    Ease of use and for both the advocacy team and sales team. Easy to find out who the contact person is an what they have done. Great for tracking

    Cons

    Not as easy to build custom requests on the fly. But the engineering team is awesome and will help build your request and meet your needs
