Apptivo vs. Contactually CRM (discontinued)

I would absolutely recommend Apptivo! We have used Apptivo for years, and we wouldn't consider another platform to keep all of our contacts together in one place. It's easy to export certain lists for certain mailings and to add/remove new contacts and move things around as needed over time. There's freedom to adding new contacts and the pricing is phenomenal

Contactually is a very powerful CRM, even though it is extremely simple to use. It is very intuitive and fun to use! Their templates for nurturing and follow-up are phenomenal, so if you have a sales cycle, this is the tool for you. I even use it to keep track of family and acquaintances' interactions, as Contactually can alert me when it's been 30 days since the last time I talked to person A. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because price has been going up in recent years.

• Built in support for new users.
• Basic crm works...just dont expect it do anything well beyond the basic.
• Price.
• Google Apps integration is better than a lot of the competition who charge and anwful lot more.
• They are open to and try adapt quickly based on customer feedback.

• The get connected prompts is a very useful feature.
• Good data consolidation picked up from a variety of sources.
• Once added, the contact profiles are updated regularly with how the contacts' LinkedIn profile would change.

Incentivized

• Dashboard and interface subsections are a bit clunky re: functionality.
• Built-in email client isn't always a feasible option for efficiency (signatures are different, contacts don't always update accordingly).
• Consistency and integration between apps is not always optimal.

Incentivized

• Pipeline functions. It's pretty bare minimum right now.
• Capturing text and phone calls outside the app. It's hard to remember to initiate both from the app.
• Calendar function. You should be able to edit the calendar in Contactually and it would sync with your Google calendar.

Just doesn't provide the sophistication that I seek. It's a simple solution with some innovation automation relatively speaking, but ideal for individuals and small businesses with basic CRM needs.

Without a doubt, the best thing about Apptivo is that it has become a perfect internal and external communication platform. This platform will allow you to know who is taking care of certain tasks with clients and control all projects with your clients. With very affordable plans for your pocket, it has a free version for up to 3 users. It far surpasses quite a few CRMs in the same category. Apptivo CRM allows you to customize many details and work with it does not consume time or resources. You are faced with a very comfortable software to use, simple and well designed.

Easy to use, does not require a strong technical background at all.

Apptivo is always quick to respond whenever we have had a problem over out time of using the program. The customer service reps are always very polite and professional in their responses and are very knowledgeable! I have never gone to them with a problem that they don't do everything in their power to help solve, and most times they have (abbreviating states is the only issue we weren't able to solve).

If you are starting a business and want a free app or nearly free app that can grow with you....then apptivo could be for you. However if you grow faster than them then you will be quickly seeking alternatives

The price was right for what we needed to use Apptivo for (the CRM and the contact management/project management models). And, we needed something basic and easy to implement so we could get up and running with little down time. The other systems we evaluated didn't seem to have the exact pricing and features/functionality we were looking for so we made the determination that Apptivo would be the best fit.

It seemed to have everything that I wanted and wasn't too expensive.

• It's had a very positive impact in building and maintaining my relationships. The ROI has been positive as an affordable and user-friendly CRM.
