Pros
Integrates with Salesforce very efficiently. Very easy to use and recommend it to everyone!
Cons
There are some features I wish were available to individual contributors but they would prefer that goes to a paid version through management.

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

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.

Scratchpad is incredibly easy to use and it syncs with salesforce in real-time. I use SP to manage account Notes, Tasks, and Pipeline manage on a daily basis. Their latest functionality, called control-J allow you to access and update your salesforce records from ANY tab. Incredbily convient

I'm able to update my SalesForce pipeline very efficiently.
Cons
Some of the configurable features are not super-intuitive but the Scratchpad support staff's proactive and excellent help more than compensates.

Doesn't have advanced salesforce features (it's okay though because It's not salesforce)

Scratchpad itself is an awesome piece of software and I can't imagine using SF without it. 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.
Pros
The overall ease of use for scratchpad is amazing. Everything about the product from linking it to your SF account, to functionality out of the box is super impressive. It's just very intuitive and for me, saves a ton of time.
Cons
I feel like the feature set is amazing as is and saves me a lot of time daily. I would however love to see outlook calendar integration in the future, I feel this would be super useful.

Overall i am very pleased with Scratchpad and the team there!
Pros
I love the ease of use and the fact that everything is laid out in such a clean and minimal layout. I can search everything from clients to individual notes and client descriptions and it brings me the info I need. The customer service from scratchpad is also unbeatable! I was lucky enough to have a sit-down with one of the developers who helped me implement a pipeline structure and teach me hands-on how to use the program. I have recommended it to several people I work with that are hesitant to use salesforce because of its clunky UI. Also, I love the new Scratchpad command functionality.
Cons
The only issue I have come across is there are a few small bugs. Sometimes when searching tasks, it doesn't auto-populate the information, also there are a few fields that don't communicate well with salesforce. I don't know if its a salesforce or scratchpad issue, but it is something I have come across.

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 Services). It synced with Salesforce and would allow anyone with access to get full visibility into my deals without duplicating the efforts in multiple systems.
Easy to create a task to ensure I was following up with deals in a timely fashion.
We sent a survey out to our sales team that was using Scratchpad during our trial period asking from 1 - 10 (10 being the highest) how would you rate your experience with Scratchpad. The average response was an 11!
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.

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.
Response from Scratchpad
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! :)

trying to update a CRM is a little time as possible so I can focus on moving my clients thru the sales pipeline instead of updating my own.
Pros
It's many of the clunky and redundant clicks out of salesforce and simplifies it. Additionally, the technical support is top notch - very professional, timely, and helpful.
Cons
there is a learning curve but of course, and items that you don't find till you request the technical assistance, which is awesome so then you learn those additional tricks you didn't know.

Pros
Scratchpad is a fantastic tool that helps me save hours vs. using Salesforce alone every week. It lets me keep my opportunities up to date, run easy reports and make my life better as a sales rep. I'm happy we decided to invest in it.

I started using Scratchpad because I needed a way to stay organized and keep Salesforce clean for sales management. Salesforce updates were taking me hours each week and it still wasn't staying super clean - things change quick! Now, I'm able to make 1-2 second updates to my opportunities using Scratchpad and can do so right after calls. I no longer need to time block an hour a day to update my pipeline.
Pros
It actually makes me want to update my SFDC data :) I've gone from weekly updates to daily, my VP Sales no longer has to remind me to keep things clean and I'm able to stay way more on top of my deals.
