The best features Zuora offers include the automation, which is probably the best they have with the extensiveness of automation and the post-sale tasks that they are able to automate for people so that the close times take a lot less time. The automation helps my clients by ensuring that the billing, payment collection, and revenue recognition are all automated, so they are not having to take extensive time to reconcile billing and ensure payments are collected and make sure the revenue recognition rules are followed. That is all built into the system for them so that they can do that quickly and efficiently. The integration with Salesforce definitely helps streamline my clients' operations there as well as their ERP so that they are not worried about data migration missing the completeness and accuracy. It all integrates seamlessly. Zuora has definitely reduced the close time that it takes my clients to close the periods and it has also helped with their pricing models that they are able to make much more sophisticated and easy to follow within the system. It has reduced the close time by four days, down from a ten day close to a six day close.
