    We actually just implemented Klue for competitive intel. It basically gives you a single source for all competitive intel and then allows you to build real-time battlecards based on that data. The product marketing team has been really happy with it so far.. and more importantly, our go-to-market teams are loving it too. During our buying process we also looked at Crayon, but ultimately went with Klue.
