It's great if you want to set up all of your client management so that you don't have to keep manually going through every step. It's so nice for me and my clients to have all of their forms streamlined and automated.

If your organization has needs or requirements that it seems cannot be met by the industry leaders in CRM, I would urge you to talk to Sugar Sell (SugarCRM). They bent over backwards to work with different groups of people within our company to prove to them how committed they were to making the product work for us. It seamlessly integrates with our email and other applications we use frequently. And they helped us configure detailed reporting for our very complex sales territories and organizational structure.If you are looking for a very basic CRM tool that doesn't require much configuration, Sugar will still work for you, but you certainly have other options.

- Very easy to set up and configure reports among teams. Very customizable and allows me to build reports that illustrate how the team is performing.
- Exporting granular reports into excel for in depth analysis and actionable measures.
- Ability to mass upload lots of information and leads. Important for our team to import lots of information on prospecting clients.

- Prior to this I was using only Stripe for my invoices and I loved that I could see all of my recurring client payments under "subscriptions." There might be a way to do this in 17Hats, but I'm just not sure. I like to be able to quickly see all of my current clients at a glance.

- The back-end programming (logical hooks) for advanced customizations could benefit from a more user-friendly interface
- General layout could be improved by the addition of modern templates to customize the standard look and feel
- Support communities could be further improved with the addition of videos on how to do specific configuration, modules.

Our organization will continue to use Sugar as long as it remains cost effective and it addresses the majority of our needs. I will, however, recommend looking into other options once our needs increase and there is additional budget for some bigger named and more robust platform options. I feel if the application was friendlier to end users we would get better productivity as well.

It's been really great to use with my clients, but I cannot speak to setting it up as my VA handled all of that for me. I anticipate using it for a long time.

There's a learning curve associated with Sugar. Right away, it's not as easy as an out-of-the-box CRM. Once you learn how to use Sugar, the system fits what your needs are. With any other CRM, you'd be trying to figure out how your company can best fit the CRM. You don't want to change your business cycle for your CRM, the CRM should fit your business cycle.

Sugar Sell's support team is great, they helped us during the implementation process when we were new to the Sugar Sell CRM. They explained to us the essential feature sets that we can explore and implement tailored to our use case, requirements, and expectation of the platform. They are also super responsive and are available on multiple channels like call, mobile support, chat apart from email which makes them very much reachable in case of any mission-critical issue.

We feel clasroom training is essential to ensure user adoption and buy-in. Video and on-line training courses gave their place but being in a classroom setting enables the Team to make any potential CRM issues visble right up front.

Study, study, and study. Be prepared to train everyday until all processes are flowing nicely. The CRM is the elephant and figuring out where to take the first bite can be a challenge. But there is only one way to eat this elephant, one bite at a time. Systematic planning is very important.

GoldMine was an archaic platform. Adding custom fields was difficult. Reporting was horrible. Sugar CRM blows it out of the water. It's also easier to use and navigate. Having all of the data available from any browser is also a tremendous advantage compared to our private installation of GoldMine which required their software and a VPN connection.

- Just one of our customized modules allowed us to automate multiple processes and saves us on average 500 man hours a year.
- It allows each user to have a 360-degree view point of our databases at any given point.
- Incorporating some of our onsite operational pieces within SugarCRM has given us the opportunity to reduce the number of places information is stored to one.
