AAE Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Effortless Outreach with Powerful Video Demos" May 26, 2026 5.0 I use Consensus to bridge the knowledge gap about our product's functionalities for potential customers, freeing up my time on outreach. It lets me send informational videos and notifies me when someone views them, which is powerful for closing sales. Pros I use Consensus for my day-to-day outreach in my B2B sales role and find it extremely useful for sending potential prospects informational videos on our products. This gives them more insight into what we're offering before a demo. I like how it frees up my time on outreach; instead of chasing down prospects with follow-up calls, I can send a quick email with a Consensus video about the products or features we've previously discussed. It's great to be able to send catered demos and receive notifications whenever someone views or shares the email or video. This feature is incredibly powerful and helpful in getting the sale across the finish line. Also, setting it up was very simple. Cons I think the only improvements could come from our organization, and by that I mean, they need to create more content around our products for us to share with prospects. Our library around our AI products still seems to be limited and dated. Review Source MW Marissa W. Senior Account Executive Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consensus for Meeting Prep & Follow Ups" October 29, 2025 4.0 It's been a huge help in the overall sales cycle. It helps my clients be better equipped to have meaningful conversations. I am able to send information that might not have been addressed or perhaps missed due to time constraints on calls. It also allows for easy sharing and can access stakeholders that are crucial for the sales process. Pros It saves a lot of time and helps quicken the sales process. I will use it to send overviews to prospects for meeting prep as well as follow up material. Cons The demo board feature can be a hassle, but it's needed to be able to track video analytics. Rather than a simple copy and paste or sending to multiple people from different organizations at once, you have to create a unique demo board for every video you send. Switched from [Vidyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/125653/Vidyard/) I'm not 100% sure; however, it seems like Vidyard wasn't as robust and didn't integrate well with our systems. Review Source Reid M. Account Executive Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Scaleable demo share & tracking " December 8, 2025 4.0 I use Consensus to create and share demo boards efficiently, saving my engineer and me time. It helps in early opportunity qualification, tracks client engagement, and allows personalized follow-ups. Pros I love how quick and easy it is to use Consensus. It seamlessly integrates with Salesforce, enhancing my workflow. I appreciate that I can track how much my clients are interacting with the content I share, which helps me identify what is most important to them and address their concerns effectively. The time savings for both my engineer and myself are significant, as it allows us to qualify or disqualify opportunities early on and send personalized follow-up emails efficiently. Furthermore, as an end user, I found the setup to be super easy since I simply logged in with SSO and was ready to go, which speaks volumes about its user-friendliness Cons Sometimes it takes too long or requires too many inputs to create a single experience demo board. I wish there was a feature to create preset boards that could be easily included in emails. Review Source Ethan J. VP Presales and Enablement Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Consensus is a true partner in our customer-centric GTM motion. " May 29, 2026 5.0 I've purchased, deployed and implemented steady state Consensus programs for two organizations now. Consensus has been a great partner. They are highly responsive and engaged when I need them. Pros As the admin, I appreciate the ease of setting up users and integrations. I like the new home page and analytics. It helps me get a quick snapshot of program and content performance. Overall, I love that Consensus gives us one customer experience from first demo to renewal, any time we are sharing content. Cons There are some UI quirks, but they are mostly getting sorted out. Which I really appreciate. In a year where they've completed acquisitions and extended partnerships, they still managed to listen to customers and fix some of the complex navigation issues that were challenging users. Review Source Cynthia H. Field Sales Executive Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consensus - If you're not utilizing it, you're leaving $$ on the table!" December 11, 2025 5.0 I have had a great experience in the few months that I have been using Consensus. I look forward to seeing all it can do to help me and our team succeed even more! Pros I absolutely love that I can track when prospects open up the videos and start watching them, as well as being able to see who they forward the link onto. This is something that we haven't had prior to utilizing Consensus and it's been a big game changer for me. The content that our team is now able to upload for the video summaries for our platform is great! Sometimes it's all I need to close a sale and not have to schedule a full 90 minute interactive demo, which many clients appreciate. Cons The only issue I have is taking the time to learn everything that Consensus offers to us. I just can't seem to find the time to sit down and see all it has to offer. I'm sure there are other aspects of the system that I could utilize, but would love to have some one on one training. But I haven't reached out for it, so that's on me. Review Source Anne K. Account Executive Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Consensus is absolutely essential to my deals!" November 5, 2025 5.0 I've had an excellent overall experience with Consensus; it is a effective way to share recorded video content with prospects and clients. Pros I love the ability to send overview and feature specific product videos to clients. As well, I love that Consensus captures recipient view analytics which is insightful and informative. Cons Building custom demo boards is tedious and time-consuming. Deeper integration with Salesforce would be helpful. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy, Professional Demo Sharing in One Link" June 1, 2026 4.0 Positive - good ability to view and track client engagement. The link makes it easy for clients to click and view demo's. Pros Easy and professional way to share demo's with clients within one hyperlink, great way to share client facing videos in a central place for all staff to use Cons Alot of clicks through to make a demo board each time. Honestly not much I can think of regarding Cons. Review Source AS Arti S. solutions engineer Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Consensus Review" April 24, 2026 5.0 Overall, a great tool and it is heavily utilized within our organization. Allows us to streamline content creation and ensure we nurture our leads. Pros •Enables AEs to easily record and reuse demo content •Reduces the number of live demos needed in the sales cycle •Allows for segment-specific content to better target the right teams and stakeholders Cons •Reporting functionality could be more robust •Discovery demo feature lacks the ability to link multiple videos to a single question Review Source LH Logan H. Business Development Rep Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Awesome software" June 6, 2026 5.0 My overall experience has been brilliant. It’s helped streamline conversations with prospects, made it easier to demonstrate value early on, and improved engagement without adding extra complexity to my workflow. It’s a strong tool for supporting more consultative conversations. Pros Being able to show customers a clear snippet of what’s on offer without needing to run a full demo. It saves time, keeps prospects engaged, and helps them quickly understand the value before committing to a longer conversation. It’s been really useful in early stage discussions. Cons Honestly, there’s nothing major that stands out as a negative. If anything, there could always be small improvements around tailoring content more easily, but overall it’s been straightforward to use and fits well into the sales process without causing friction. Review Source DW Duncan W. Sales Executive Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Consensus - Saving me time and getting our product in front of customers" May 1, 2026 5.0 Our experience has been very positive. The platform is simple to use, and adds real value to the work we do both in terms of lead generation and following up with new leads. Pros The ability to get our product in front of potential customers. A short video demo allows us to demonstrate features and functionality that we can offer. Prospects can watch the video at a time that works for them and without pressure from a Sales Rep. It allows us to respond to new leads in a timely fashion and ensure our follow up is valuable. Cons The main menu can be confusing. I would prefer for it to be easier to see how to create demo boards, the feature I use the most. Review Source MS Mark S. Sales Engineering Manager - APAC Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Several Use Cases to effectively communicate with clients within pre-sales" November 5, 2025 5.0 Very positive - an integral part of our sales engineering function. The Account Managers are also very friendly and helpful. It is an easy to use platform and it allows us to share material easily and gage interest in quickly in what would other be a very manual and lengthy process. Pros Consensus really helps our pre-sales/sales engineering team share effortlessly with the wider (and large) sales organisation. We tend to use Consensus in three different ways: (1) pre-demo 'Netflix Trailer' so that everyone is coming to the meeting informed on what they will see (2) up-selling modules/solutions that may be of interest to clients but are at exploratory stage (saving internal time and resource) and (3) post-demo follow ups. It is slick and saves a lot of time as well as an effective knowledge sharing tool. Very popular with the sales organisation as they do not have to rely on pre-sales all of the time. Cons No dislikes - easy to use. Perhaps it could be easier to add in marketing visuals at the beginning of demonstrations, but this may be a lack of knowledge internally. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Customer Success Manager Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Game-Changer for Customer Success at Scale" December 12, 2025 5.0 My experience with Consensus has been overwhelmingly positive. It’s streamlined how I engage with customers and has become one of the most effective tools I use. It fits naturally into my workflow, saves time, and helps me deliver clear, meaningful touchpoints at scale. I’ve seen a noticeable impact on how easily customers connect with our products, and it’s made it easier for me to support a large and diverse customer base more effectively. Pros Consensus has become a key part of my daily workflow. It gives me an easy way to share interactive demos that highlight the value of our solutions. As a Customer Success Manager, I use it both for upsell conversations and during times of change, like when there's new leadership and we want to rebuild product knowledge and show the full impact of what we offer. The learning curve is low, and the content management features make it simple to find and share the right resources quickly. It’s a tool that truly helps me bring more value to customers. Cons Since I’m sharing videos daily with a large number of customers, I end up getting multiple email notifications each day about viewers who haven’t watched yet. While that info is definitely helpful, working in a scaled Customer Success model means a weekly summary report would be much more efficient and easier to manage. Also, even though it only takes a couple of minutes to create a video, any time savings would be valuable given the volume of customers I support each day. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Executive Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive system that allows for a measurable increase in client engagement " December 12, 2025 4.0 I have enjoyed working with Consensus. It has been easy to use, and it gives me another way to engage with my clients besides cold calling or emails. I like the visibility into client engagement with my demo boards, as it helps me gauge and measure interest. Pros The program is easy to use, and it gives me visibility into my clients' engagement with my demo boards. The metrics are interesting in tracking this interest. Cons There are some glitches and bugginess, particularly with the Gmail plug-in. I have also had difficulty getting the recorder function to work, and must manually record my videos and upload. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Regional Sales Director Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for sharing demos at scale" January 5, 2026 5.0 Overall, it has been a very good experience. It saves me time, helps educate prospects before our calls, and makes it easier to involve different stakeholders in the process. Once you get used to it, it becomes a strong support tool for sales conversations. Pros It is a very helpful way to share demos without needing to run everything live. I like that prospects can choose the parts that matter most to them, instead of watching a long generic demo. The insights are also useful, as I can see who has viewed the demo and what they focused on. This makes my follow up conversations more relevant and productive. Cons It takes a bit of time to learn how to set everything up properly. Some editing and formatting features could be more intuitive. Review Source Sean N. Solution Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Consensus Review " January 2, 2026 5.0 Overall, I really enjoy using consensus and have used the platform since it's introduction to my previous role and crucially in my current as a Solution Consultant. It's been a key source in understanding the work created by my peers for my own education, as well as it's usefulness during the sales cycle and customer engagement in my previous role as an SDR. Pros I like how Consensus is universally an invaluable tool across self, colleagues and customers. Reviewing and watching back material, is equally informative to myself, as is, forward facing for the customer. Cons In Honestly, the only minor con to Consensus, was quickly addressed the use of Interactive tours, or chaptered sections. Review Source ST Stanley T. Commercial Account Executive Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Streamlined Demo Sharing and Tracking" October 31, 2025 4.0 I’ve used Consensus for nearly two years to send demo recordings to clients. It’s been an excellent tool for improving client understanding and tracking engagement. The platform adds real value by offering a streamlined way to share demos and monitor how prospects interact with them. My only suggestion would be to simplify the link-creation process to make it even smoother. Pros I find Consensus incredibly valuable for streamlining the process of sending demo recordings and monitoring client engagement, which significantly aids my sales efforts. The ability to seamlessly select and send pre-established demos to clients simplifies my workflow, allowing me to focus on more strategic tasks. I also appreciate the easy creation and customization of demo links, which enables a highly personalized experience in minutes. The real-time notifications on client activity provide crucial insights into engagement levels and intent, helping guide my follow-up strategy. Cons Creating customized demo links can be more complex than I’d like. Setting up specific links sometimes requires navigating through multiple screens, which can feel time-consuming. I’d prefer a simpler way to generate multiple links from one screen to make the workflow faster and more efficient. Review Source Alfie S. Account Manager Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consensus - speeding up of sales cycles!" October 30, 2025 5.0 Overall it's been a slick and easy to use tool. It allows me to send demos out to my customers and prospects, often speeding up the sales cycle and allows customers to come to meeting with an existing understanding of our product range. Pros How easy it is to integrate to your outlook account, and as a result, how fast their demo videos are to deploy to customers! Cons Honestly, nothing. It is perfect for it's intended use case. I needed something to deploy demos to my customers and prospects and it does exactly that. Review Source Garrett E. Sr. Product Marketing Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for automating demos" February 18, 2026 5.0 We have enjoyed using Consensus and like seeing the leads and demo views come in from our buyers as we leverage it on our website and in sales plays. Pros Consensus is unmatched in its analytics and its ability to discover stakeholders in enterprise deals. We work with a niche buyer who has a complex buying group and Consensus helps us understand what each person is thinking. Cons I wish the analytics would have more options for viewing. Something like a dashboard would make reporting to executive leadership much easier. Review Source CS Caitlain S. SC Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Powerful Demo Automation Tool That Truly Elevates Pre-Sales" November 14, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Consensus has been really positive. It helps me work more efficiently, improves the quality of my discovery, and elevates the buyer experience before I ever join a call. Even with a few limitations, the value it brings to my workflow far outweighs the drawbacks. Pros I like that Consensus scales me by automating repetitive demos, so I can focus on higher-value conversations. It gives buyers a polished, self-guided experience that helps them pre-qualify and come in more informed. I also get cleaner discovery because I can see exactly what they watched, skipped, and cared about. It’s especially powerful for multi-stakeholder deals since anyone can view the demo without waiting for a live session. Overall, it shortens sales cycles, protects my time, and gives me clear insight into buyer intent. Cons What I don’t love about Consensus is that the setup can feel time-consuming up front, especially when building branched paths or updating content. It also can’t fully replace a live demo, so prospects sometimes still need clarification even after watching. And when prospects don’t engage with the guided demo, the insights and intent signals you rely on just aren’t there. Review Source Keri S. Business Consultant Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consensus is so helpful for my clients!" March 6, 2026 5.0 Pros I love how it integrates with my Gmail and I can easily add in a consensus demo right in the email without having to bridge to the website. There is so much customization which I love and it takes the repetition out when sending out the same demo boards but customizing the receiver Cons Sometimes it doesn't always stay connected with Gmail so it's a hassle to reconnect. It's a learning curve at first when creating your own personal demo, but once you've done it for the first time, it gets easier. Review Source Vicky O. Account Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great demo automation platform - highly recommend. " November 10, 2025 5.0 Really good. The cons are only small but overall it's a great product. It's easy to use and the reporting and info you get back is great. Pros I really like how easy it is to share a video inline in an email with a customer. I like that I get notified as soon as they watch it and who they have shared it with. The reporting and analytics are really good. Cons Plug in can be a bit glitchy. It can be annoying if I draft the email first and forget to put the names in the to field then I click through consensus and have to type all the names out manually. It's also not that clear on personal video which one is before the demo, which is part of the demo etc Review Source Alain B. Enterprise Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Add in a Consensus video to convert more deals " November 4, 2025 5.0 Consensus is a killer tool to aid Sales People in their day 2 day, I've add in a Consensus video to convert more deals or help with onboarding new customers Pros The ability to securely share content and see detailed engagement insights. It saves time compared to manually sending files and guessing whether someone has looked at them. Cons Occasionally the setup for new content takes a few extra steps, but once it’s live, it works smoothly. Review Source LW Luke W. Solution Consultant Warehousing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Consensus elevates the entire sales process" November 20, 2025 5.0 The use of consensus has played a huge role in our growth over the last year. We leverage Consensus for all engagements, and our prospects love being able to watch digital content on their own time. It provides us with a platform to easily distribute the content our prospects requested more information on and allows us to continuously stay top of mind. Pros I enjoy the ease of use and the ability to stay Infront of our of our prospects in-between scheduled meetings. Cons Sometimes we like to send content via public links so there's no "front door" entry to watch the content. However, the analytics for public links are very limited. Review Source Marco Pablo C. Director, Solution Engineering Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Consensus Made Demos Easier - and Now We Use It Everywhere" April 22, 2025 5.0 Consensus has had a noticeable impact on how we run things, especially in early-stage sales. It helps us qualify leads faster, and our presales team now spends more time on strategic work instead of repeating the same demo over and over. The onboarding and support we received were excellent, which definitely helped us get value from the tool early on. It’s become a key part of our sales motion. Pros What really stands out about Consensus is how much time it saves our team. We started using it for presales demos, but it quickly became useful in other areas, too. Creating interactive, self-guided demos is pretty straightforward, and the fact that we can track how people engage with them has completely changed the way we handle follow-ups. It’s a much more informed and efficient process now. Cons It took us a little while to get comfortable with the layout and the terminology. Words like “demoboard” or “demolytics” didn’t click right away, but once we got the hang of it, everything made sense. A few things could probably be more intuitive out of the box, but nothing major. Review Source HH Hannah H. Sales Executive Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool for engagement" October 29, 2025 5.0 Positive experience with Consensus - I really like it and feel like it spruces up my emails to prospects, especially as a follow-up after initial meetings. Helps with engagement! Pros Really quick and easy way to send relevant content to prospects and showcase features/functionalities visually Cons It can be a little time consuming to put demoboards together and demos are not always easily located Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
