What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Suger is to manage our cloud marketplace operations and make the sales process easier. It helps us handle deals and keep things organized without spending too much time on manual work.
A quick specific example of how I use Suger in my daily workflow is when our sales team needs to create a private offer for a customer. Earlier we had to manage several steps manually and keep checking details between different systems. With Suger, we can handle most of it in one place, which makes the process much easier. It saves us time and reduces the back and forth between team members.
Regarding my main use case, one thing I didn't expect was how much easier it would make coordination between our sales and operations teams. Earlier even small updates could involve a few emails and follow-ups. Having everything in one place makes it easier to track what's happening and avoid confusion. It's a small difference, but it makes a significant impact in our daily work.
How has it helped my organization?
Suger has positively impacted my organization, as the biggest improvement has been in how our teams work together. Our sales and operations teams can track offers and updates without constantly following up with each other. It has reduced a significant amount of manual work and helped us move things along faster. I cannot say exactly how much it has impacted revenue, but it has definitely made our daily workflow more organized and efficient.
To share more about how it has improved efficiency, we have not tracked the exact hours saved, but the difference is noticeable. For example, when we were working on multiple customer offers, our team can check the status and updates in one place instead of going through emails or asking each other about the updates. Earlier even a small change could take several follow-ups. Now the process feels much quicker, especially when we are handling several deals at once. It has made our daily work a lot smoother.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, the best features Suger offers are private offer management, marketplace integration, and having everything in one place. Creating a tracking offer is straightforward, and we don't have to keep switching between different tools. I also appreciate how it helps our sales and operations teams stay on the same page. It makes everyday work easier and saves a lot of unnecessary back and forth.
Out of those features, I would say private offer management saves us the most time. Earlier creating offers and tracking updates involved a lot of manual work and follow-up sums. Suger makes the whole process much simpler, and we can see what's going on without constantly checking with different people. I also appreciate that the platform is easy to use and nothing feels overly complicated, which is a big advantage when you are handling multiple deals.
What needs improvement?
Regarding possible improvements for Suger, one thing I would appreciate is an improvement in reporting and dashboard customization. It would be helpful to have more flexibility in how we track deals and view updates. Also, some parts of the platform could be a bit more intuitive for new users. These minor improvements would make the daily experience even better.
In terms of needed improvements, one thing that would help is being able to customize the dashboard based on what each team member needs. For example, our sales team mainly wants to see pending offers and deal status, while the operations team needs different details. Having separate views would make things easier. Also, finding certain settings could be simpler, especially for someone using the platform for the first time. These small improvements would enhance the overall experience.
Additionally, one more thing that could be improved is the onboarding experience. A few more practical examples or short guides would help new team members get comfortable with the platform faster. It would also be beneficial to have clear notifications when something needs attention. Overall, these minor suggestions would make Suger even easier to use.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Suger for one year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Suger is stable. It has been reliable for our day-to-day work.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding Suger's scalability, Suger has handled our growing workload quite well. As we have started managing more offers and involving more team members, it has helped us keep things organized without adding too much extra work. We have not tested it on a very large scale, but for our current needs, it has been working well. I think it has good potential to support us as we grow further.
How are customer service and support?
My experience with Suger customer support has been good overall. Whenever we had questions about the platform or needed help understanding a feature, the team was approachable and helpful. I appreciate that they explained things clearly rather than making them overly technical. Faster response during busy hours would enhance the experience.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Suger, we were not using another dedicated platform. Most of the work was handled manually through emails, spreadsheets, and different tools. As the number of deals increased, it became harder to keep everything organized. That's when we started looking for a better solution. Suger helped bring everything into one place and made the process easier for our team.
What was our ROI?
Regarding return on investment, we have not calculated the exact ROI, but we have noticed improvements in our daily workflow. Managing offers and tracking updates takes less manual effort, and our team spends less time going back and forth on emails. We have not reduced our team size, but we are able to handle the work more efficiently with the same people. The biggest value for us has been saving time and keeping things organized rather than direct cost savings.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was straightforward. The main consideration for us was understanding what was included in the plan and whether it makes sense for our team's needs. I think clear details about additional costs and pricing options would be helpful. Overall, the setup and licensing experience was manageable, but there is always room to make the process simpler.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Suger, we looked at a few options but didn't do a very detailed comparison. Our main focus was finding something easy to use that could simplify marketplace operations and reduce manual work. Suger seemed a good fit for what we needed, especially for managing private offers and keeping everything organized.
What other advice do I have?
I choose nine out of ten because it has been a really good experience. It makes our work easier, saves time, and helps the team stay organized. The only reason I didn't give it a ten is that I feel there is still some room for improvement in dashboard customization and a few parts of the user experience. Nothing that seriously affects our work, just small improvements that could make the platform even better.
From our day-to-day use, we have not noticed any major concerns. That said, I would appreciate more transparency around how AI handles customer data, who can access it, and what controls are available. Having clear information on these areas would give us more confidence.
For the features I use regularly, the platform has been reliable overall. I have not noticed any major issues, but I still prefer to double-check important information rather than rely completely on AI-generated results. It would be helpful to have more visibility into how the AI produces its outputs.
My advice for others looking into using Suger is to first understand what you actually need and check if Suger fits your workflow. Don't try to use every feature from day one. Start with the basics, especially private offers and deal tracking, and gradually explore the rest. Also, spend some time with the support team during setup. Overall, I think it is worth considering if you are managing cloud marketplace sales and want to reduce manual work.
