Pros and cons

I use scratchpad notes daily, and I love that I can attach them to an opportunity in Salesforce with ease.
The ease of use and ability to update my forecast in 2-5 minutes. Everything works so fast and I love breaking out my pipeline into different views depending on what I am focusing on.
On top of that, whenever I've reached out to the customer service team they've been super response and helpful, plus friendly as well. Even as a free user, the response was just outstanding.
I'm convinced that most of my dislikes are related to our org's setup. I've still been able to adjust Scratchpad to minimize these errors when they do come up.
Some reporting functionalities are limited when cross referencing related fields (example: related account owner at the lead level).
I wish they all started when first joining the company. The only bad thing is we didn't have it sooner.

must have sales tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

it's been pure bliss. i've brought my exec team and fellow sales savages on to scratchpad. it's the best, no other way to put it.

Pros

Imagine sfdc if they actually built features for modern sales people. easy to use, integrates with your note pad, and quick to add new features.

Cons

it's a small, growing company so you're going to run into challenges working with startups. the value of the app vastly outweighs any challenges ive had thus far.

Vendor response

Hey Joseph! Thanks so much for the great review. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help and if you have any issues that we can help resolve. Thanks a million!

Making Administrative Tasks Enjoyable

Reviewed 2 years ago

The more work that I can do OUTSIDE of my CRM while maintaining pipeline hygiene and keeping management happy, the better! Without Scratchpad my sanity would be significantly impacted, this solution is helping me to stay organized and keeping all the details I need to be successful easily accessible.

Pros

In working with necessary evil of a CRM, more clicks, fields, and loading pages burn valuable selling time - Scratchpad helps to reduce the amount of time it takes to keep Sales Management satisfied with up-to-date notes and your pipeline accurate with easy adjustment. Being able to create notes, easily tie them to opportunities, and manage those opportunities in your pipeline in a swift and accessible manner makes the process significantly easier and even enjoyable!

Cons

Nothing is perfect, but Scratchpad and the team that supports it are very close! The solution is almost plug and play, but there is some light customization required in order to make sure that you are editing the proper fields. This isn't a painful process by any means and legitimately a necessary evil. If Scratchpad were somehow able to magically and automatically identify fields - that would be great, but otherwise, there is absolutely nothing to complain about.

Vendor response

Thank you so much, Andrew. We love this review and appreciate all of your support!

Fantastic productivity tool - the best I've come across

Reviewed 2 years ago

Organization can be challenging for me because I work with many accounts, and they are constantly changing. Scratchpad allows me to stay organized and methodical about my approach for each one.

Pros

I use scratchpad notes daily, and I love that I can attach them to an opportunity in Salesforce with ease. Because I work with 20-40 accounts a month, it's challenging to remember every conversation, so detailed notes are critical. Now I can easily pull up important information on each account, whether in Salesforce or Scratchpad. I am also a big fan of Scratchpad being immediately available each time I open a new tab.

Cons

I really can't think of anything. For my purposes, it works great.

Thank you!

Save Time, Keep Data Updated, Amazing Customer Service

Reviewed 2 years ago

Saving time and getting complete data into Salesforce has been the greatest benefit to our organization. Scratchpad has solved an inefficiency that we did not even realize we had.

Pros

The pipeline grids are the most helpful feature in updating multiple accounts, contacts, and opportunities quickly. The layout is similar to using an Excel spreadsheet and autosaves the data automatically. The templates are very helpful for my team as they provide a focused view to complete only the fields that are needed for the specific task at hand. This has increased compliance in getting data into Salesforce.

Cons

Updates and new functionality are being developed constantly - if you have any suggestions on what you would like to see in Scratchpad, their amazing team is open to your suggestions!

Wow, Elizabeth. Thank you so much for your review. We appreciate you!

Great for Salespeople. If you are having trouble getting Opps updated - you need this tool.

Reviewed 2 years ago

Product team was great and always wanted feedback on how to improve the product. I had the product owner build me a custom dashboard on our call that highlighted what features I changed in the opportunity. Makes it much easier to do my job. The templates allowed me to create standard questions I would ask during a sales cycle and share among my team (BDR, Solutions Architect, Manager, Professional...

Pros

Easy to use and could customize it to fit my workflow. As a salesperson, my job is to keep sales opportunities moving. Updating notes, close dates, deal amount, stages, etc can be cumbersome. It's not that salespeople do not care to update, it is often very time consuming and a low value activity for us. Scratchpad makes it quick and easy to update opps, create new tasks, and create templates that can easily be synced with Salesforce. Keeps sales management happy and reduces the burden on a salesperson communicating activity on an opportunity.

Cons

That my company chose to stick with Salesforce and not leverage Scratchpad as a tool to save time across a large sales team.

Love this review! Thank you so much Jonathan!

What will I do with all of my free time?

Reviewed 2 years ago

I went from managing a pipeline for hours at the beginning of the month to under 30 minutes to submit forecasts. The ability to edit and control my pipeline without having to click dozens of times in each opportunity has saved me an enormous amount of time and energy, and can help keep the data relevant so those relying on the information don't have to wait for an office day for update opportunities/forecasts.

Pros

Simplifies the process of adding new opportunities to Salesforce, making edits to (stage, amount, close date, etc), seeing my whole pipeline to understand my forecast, and adjust any projects I am working on in real-time within SF.

Cons

The reporting feature is not as robust as Salesforce, so doing custom reports and dashboards is still a Salesforce operation, but the raw data and making edits is infinitely easier in Scratchpad.

Vendor response

Thank you, Cody. If there are some specific reporting features you would like to see, please drop them in the product wish list. We see you! :)

MUST HAVE FOR AE's

Reviewed a year ago

Absolutely love it - the best productivity tool for salespeople, hands down.

Pros

Scratchpad is easily the best tool for managing your pipeline and salesforce hygiene. It's incredibly intuitive and fast to make tons of updates to your pipeline - which keeps your manager off your back. Although difficult to quantify exactly how much - I do save loads of time every day working within Scratchpad vs Salesforce directly, or even a platform like Clari. You can progress deals quickly, update next steps, stages, close won, make custom "Tiles" for required fields - all very easily and quickly.

Cons

Every once in a while things wont sync to Salesforce and I'll have to run it a few times - but it's not often and it always ends up working in the end.

Scratchpad makes updating Salesforce incredibly easy

Scratchpad has been the best company to work with - I have submitted many wishes, most of which have already come to fruition. Their support is unbelievably click to respond.

Buy this for your reps, yesterday

Reviewed 2 years ago

Updating my pipeline used to take up to 4 hours each Monday in addition to each update I would make with calls and emails that needed to be logged in Salesforce. This now takes me less than 30 minutes on Monday before our pipeline review and keeps me and my teammates much more on top of tasks and logging interactions with deals.

This tool saves an incredible amount of time in my day to day in managing my pipeline and updating what's going on with deals.

Nothing I can think of - maybe having a mobile app?

Every sales team should be using Scratchpad

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Keeping CRM data clean and up-to-date used to be a battle. The company needs it, but for any individual rep updating data fields is just painful friction. Scratchpad solves this by making it so fast and easy for reps to navigate and update Salesforce data. It puts every piece of Salesforce info you need (fully customizable) all on one screen, and enables instant real-time updates from any chrome window. It provides customizable list views for prospecting and prioritization (with in-line edits) as well. No extra logins, no load times, no page navigation. If you do need to go to Salesforce, all the records are a click away. The result is that our reps are capturing more data, and using more existing data, that ever before.

Cons

It does a very specific thing (make data entry and review infinitely faster). I don't think it could do this any better. Drawbacks are that it doesn't do more, and that is only works for Salesforce and Chrome.

Vendor response

Hey Sebastian! Thank you so much. You are too kind. Please let us know if these is anything we can do to help you out.

Best sales tool ever

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

It saves me so much time in my day-to-day. Instead of updating everything in various Salesforce, I can update everything in one, easy to use place.

Cons

When updating opportunities, I will always open up the tile and type in what I need. However, when you open the tile it blocks off tiles below that. I would like to see it more dynamically push those tiles lower so none get hidden by the open one. I manage my email follow ups through these opportunity tiles, and occasionally I will miss a follow up because it gets blocked off.
