REASONS WHY COMPANIES CHOOSE PRECURSIVE.

Success Story.png

TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP

FinanicalForce uses more than double the number of custom objects within their tool than Precursive. More custom objects within the solution correlate to higher maintenance and a more intricate setup. This directly translates into a higher cost of ownership for users that choose FinancialForce over Precursive.

EASE OF
TRAINING

FinancialForce users report that the tool is complex and difficult to become an admin of, let alone quickly train new users. This leads to frustration with the tool, and the inability to use all aspects of the product. Precursive has a dedicated customer knowledge base. We incorporate training into your onboarding and throughout the customer journey.

PROACTIVE CUSTOMER SUCCESS

FinancialForce users report slow user support response time and confusing error messages. “Support often times cannot find solution on time. Glitches are usual”.

As Precursive is Salesforce native not only do we have our own dedicated support team and user community but any questions around features such as reporting can also be researched within the Salesforce Community.

What’s best about Precursive is its ease of use, especially compared to other tools on the market. The UX is super clean and its simplicity tying different pieces together, from resource allocation to project milestones, makes it an easy project management tool to use and therefore our adoption of the tool is high. The fact that it’s 100% Salesforce native is key.

DIFFERENCE IN EXPERIENCE BY INDUSTRY.

USER: FinancialForce Admin

TASK: Ensuring the product is up to date and fit for the use-case of their organization. Becoming an expert in the system to empower full utilization.

FINANCIALFORCE EXPERIENCE

PRECURSIVE EXPERIENCE

Being Salesforce native, anyone with experience using Salesforce can very quickly become a Precursive admin. 

Working from the same UI, all reporting customizations can be completed within the UI using Salesforce functionality. 

The UI is intuitive and easy to navigate as it follows the workflows of Salesforce. 

All answers to Precursive product questions are housed in our own community. 

FinancialForce is a complex and in-depth platform, with many legacy and newly developing features.

The UI is clunky and difficult to navigate without in-depth training. Reports and customizations must be completed by FinancialForce and not by the user. 

As the software is standalone and not Salesforce native the product does not work in  the same way as Salesforce and requires a completely separate learning journey. 

The user interface and the integration with Salesforce is what makes Precursive the best tool. Its attractive UI and user friendly features are the best.
