    We have been using Adapt for almost a year or more and it is the best CRM solution and has helped us in saving our time and also in finding various contacts from our LinkedIn connections. It enabled us to grow our network by connecting us to the market for our products. when it comes to its price its subscription rate is quite high and it gets buggy sometimes.

    SugarCRM
    Sugar CRM is a good tool, but it's complex to customize. It often requires expensive 3rd partners to implement more complex scenarios that SugarCRM struggles to support; coming back with explanations was usually time-consuming and unsupported. The back end is overly complex in terms of what it needs to be, with many redundant database tables and columns.

    • It provides a nice, single package of multiple features as in all in one solution business program. It can be used to help run many operations in an organization.
    • ADAPTcrm provides a fairly robust interface that can be individually tailored to each user, making it a bit more personable.
    • The program can be linked into other systems like Outlook which can alleviate the need for manual entry of contacts.

    • It has a nice layout [that] does not seem to be cluttered. I find it to be very user friendly.
    • It has customizable dashboards which I find beneficial

    • 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.

    Adapt CRM is the perfect tool for everyone looking for the solution to manage customer relations. It has proved itself as a time saver and we can focus on other parts of our organization too without any compromise on our customer relations. It has many features for customization. Additionally, its customer service is so good and helpful and unlike other software of this kind, we have found it quite user-friendly.

    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.

    The support overall at least for us has been phenomenal. Anytime that the system has any Issues at all IT gets in contact from someone from support to get the system back up and running. Have never gone more than 30 minutes with the system not working. So overall I will be definetely recommending this system in any other company that I may work for in the future.

    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.

    ADAPTcrm is a bit different than other programs with similar feature sets. It offers a more well-rounded set of features that can be beneficial for an organization looking for an in all-in-one solution without much customization. On the other hand, if customization or changes are needed, the costs can be increased greatly with the need for developers or support from the company. Some CRM solutions may require a great deal of programming which ADAPTcrm does not necessarily need, potentially saving a great deal of time in implementation.

    SugarCRM is a lot better in many ways then LogicsCRM which I started using when I started as a sales rep at Community Tax. Yet there is still room for a lot of improvements to accommodate a steady workflow. They integration of old CRM files seems to have worked great from Logics to Sugar.
