Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Protection Officer

Weighted verdict

Sees two groups being measured who never signed the vendor's terms: the buyer's employees in every tracked room and the company's own sellers in every scored call. Wants the tracking documented and switchable, recordings with a consent step and a retention period, transcription and AI providers named, and seller analytics a works council can agree to.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Sales content management

How this is scored

Getting the right, current, approved material in front of the seller: a central library, search and recommendations in deal context, versioning and expiry so outdated decks disappear, approval workflows, templates that keep the brand, and content in several languages.

0 — Not a content tool; the product neither stores nor shares sales material.

3 — A central library of sales content with folders and search, shared to buyers from one place.

5 — A searchable content library with permissions by team or region, content surfaced in deal or CRM context, and updated versions replacing outdated material for sellers.

8 — Versioning with expiry dates, approval before publishing, content recommended by deal stage or CRM field, superseded versions replaced everywhere they were shared, brand-locked templates sellers can personalise within limits, content tagged by language and market, and usage per asset reported to the content owner.

10 — Content governance a regulated industry can rely on: every shared copy traceable to its approved master, automatic retirement of expired claims, a documented review log per asset, and export of the full library with its metadata and version history.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The Content Hub is a genuine library: central administration, search, view and edit permissions, contexts, bulk actions and archiving, with content recommended by stakeholder role, process stage and industry and machine learning pushing the most effective material forward. Usage per asset feeds back into what gets recommended. We found no public information on versioning with expiry, approval before publishing, brand-locked templates, or tagging by language and market, which is where the governance a regulated buyer needs would sit. 2 3

Buyer engagement & digital sales rooms

How this is scored

The shared space with the customer: digital sales rooms, mutual action plans, proposals and trackable links — judged on what the buyer is told about being tracked and whether tracking can be limited, because the people opening the room are another company's employees.

0 — No shared space and no trackable sharing; content leaves as email attachments.

3 — Trackable links or a simple sales room for sharing content with buyers, with view notifications to the seller.

5 — Digital sales rooms with shared content and a mutual action plan or comments, engagement analytics per room or link with what is recorded per visitor described, and access controls such as expiry or email verification.

8 — Rooms in the customer's branding, tracking switchable per room or link, a notice or consent step for recipients, anonymous or aggregate-only analytics as an option, a retention period for visitor data stated, and the vendor's role as processor for visitor data set out in the DPA.

10 — Engagement designed around the buyer's rights: tracking off or aggregate by default until the seller enables it with a recorded notice, visitors able to see and delete what was recorded about them, a TDDDG and GDPR assessment published, and room content and history exportable for both sides.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Email tracking is at least documented honestly — an invisible one-pixel image, open and click notifications, per-recipient status, a 30-day statistics window and an off switch in the seller's own settings — and Content Rooms exist for sharing with buyers. We found no public information on any notice or consent step for the recipients being tracked, a retention period for their data, or access controls such as room expiry, and no mutual action plan appears in the captured material. 2 3 5

Onboarding, training & coaching

How this is scored

Making sellers ready: onboarding paths, courses and certifications, role-play and practice with feedback, and call recording or conversation analysis where offered — judged on whether recording respects that every participant in a German call has to consent.

0 — No onboarding, training or coaching features; the product is content or engagement only.

3 — Courses and quizzes in a basic learning area for sellers, or call recording with transcripts.

5 — Onboarding paths with courses, quizzes and certifications, practice exercises or role-play with feedback, and — where calls are recorded — a recording notice or consent step for participants described.

8 — Training linked to content and deal stages, AI role-play with the scoring criteria described, manager coaching workflows, recording consent configurable per country with external participants able to decline, a retention period for recordings stated, transcripts deletable on request, and German supported for transcription and training content.

10 — Readiness that can be evidenced and defended: certifications tied to measurable skills, scoring models documented in a form a works council can review, recordings and scores restricted to defined roles, retention configurable per data type, and every coaching feature usable without recording calls.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

There is a free four-unit Elevate course, two hands-on onboarding workshops, coaching notes, sessions and plans, and role-based skills assessments company-wide. Coaching references link out to externally recorded meetings and scorecards rather than a recording feature of the product's own; we found no public information on certifications, role-play with feedback, or participant consent and retention for recordings. 4 6 7

Analytics, AI & seller monitoring

How this is scored

What the platform measures and concludes — content usage and influence on revenue, seller activity and AI-generated scores or recommendations — and whether the customer can see how a score is built, limit what is measured about individual sellers, and switch AI features off. A system that rates employees is a co-determination matter in Germany (BetrVG § 87 (1) 6).

0 — No analytics on content, engagement or seller activity.

3 — Dashboards on content usage and seller activity, with AI features described by what they do.

5 — Content usage and engagement reported per asset and team, access to individual seller reports governed by roles, and AI features described with their purpose and switchable by the admin.

8 — Analytics configurable to team-level aggregation, each AI feature documented with its inputs and the model provider or subprocessor named, AI outputs shown with their sources, customer data excluded from model training by default and stated so, EU processing available for AI features, and documentation aimed at works council agreements.

10 — Measurement the people measured can trust: every metric and score defined publicly, individual-level tracking off until enabled by policy, access to individual data logged, AI features off by default until the customer enables them, and the vendor's EU AI Act position published.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

This is squarely a system that measures individual sellers: personal performance views, coaching insights, forecasting from real behavior, and AI deal-risk and next-best-action scores are all public, with the Insight Engine included for everyone. Daily credit limits and credit usage reporting give an admin a brake on consumption, but we found no public information on a true off switch for AI features, the model providers or subprocessors behind them, role-governed access to individual reports, or any material a works council could review. 1 6 8 9

CRM, workplace integrations & exit

How this is scored

Fitting into the seller's day and the company's stack: CRM integration in both directions, email and calendar add-ins, Microsoft Teams and Office, single sign-on and provisioning, an API — and getting content and history out when the contract ends.

0 — No integrations and no API; content is shared by downloading and re-attaching files.

3 — A connector to one CRM such as Salesforce or HubSpot, or a browser or email extension for sharing content.

5 — Documented integrations with Salesforce and another CRM such as HubSpot or Microsoft Dynamics with engagement data written back to the record, an Outlook, Gmail or Microsoft Teams integration, and SSO via SAML.

8 — SCIM provisioning, a documented REST API with webhooks, integrations with the e-signature, CPQ and learning tools named, field mappings configurable, and bulk export of content library and analytics.

10 — Integration and exit designed in: a versioned API with a deprecation policy, deletion that propagates to connected systems, and a documented exit process that hands back content with versions, rooms, training records and analytics in open formats.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Membrain positions itself as the CRM, with MCP read-and-write access to CRM records, projects and activities, a mobile app, an integrations section whose specific connectors the FAQ leaves unnamed, and a help-centre page on the API. Exit is half-covered: everything created in Membrain exports with saved, shareable configurations, dashboards go to Excel and PDF, and processes import back — but uploaded documents and images must be downloaded one by one. 1 8 9 10 11

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Who the contracting entity is, where content, buyer engagement data and call recordings are stored and processed, and who the subprocessors are — including the transcription and AI providers that recordings and documents are passed to. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.

0 — Proven non-EU throughout: non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting outside the EU, and no data processing agreement offered.

3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, while an EU contracting entity and EU hosting are not shown, or EU hosting is an option under a non-EU contracting entity.

5 — EU hosting stated (as standard or selectable) and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, with a data processing agreement; parts of the chain such as transcription, AI, email tracking or support may run outside the EU.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published with locations including transcription and AI providers, and a DPA covering buyer engagement data and recordings.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, transcription and AI features running within the EU on providers the customer can see, and certification published.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A data-security FAQ, an AI-security FAQ topic and a dedicated SOC 2 page exist, and the vendor trades as Membrain AB. Beyond that we found no public information on hosting location, a data processing agreement covering engagement data, or any subprocessor list — including who provides the AI behind the Insight Engine — so the captured pages do not show where buyer and seller data are processed. 1 9 10

Pricing transparency not rated — the vendor publishes no price

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: the per-seat price and which roles need a seat, platform fees, minimum seat counts, which modules (content, rooms, training, coaching, AI) are bundled, and the minimum term.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A public "from" price or one tier priced, with the rest on request.

5 — Per-seat prices public for each tier with the billing period (monthly or annual) and the main features per tier.

8 — Every tier priced publicly with seat types and minimum seat counts, module and add-on prices (rooms, coaching, AI) listed, platform or implementation fees stated, minimum term and VAT treatment given.

10 — Complete price computability: the annual invoice derivable for a given number of sellers, content creators and managers, with every module, add-on, platform fee and overage published.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The public material gives the model — "Flexible per user per product" — plus tier names (Basic included for all, Plus in Small, Medium and Large) and a feature-by-feature AI comparison, but we found no public information on any monetary amount for any tier or role. The Elevate onboarding service defers pricing to a Customer Success conversation. 6 8 9
