Apptivo Inc
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

Cons
Apptivo Inc
  • 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.

  • The product development team at Pipeliner CRM always seems to be a step or two ahead of what I'm experiencing. Therefore they've already addressed improvements I could have suggested. They are really in touch with their users and overall user experience.

Currently the company is using the Pipeliner CRM because we believe it is a tool that puts the customer as the main focus of business processes in order to understand and anticipate their needs, and then serve them in the best way.

Usability
Apptivo Inc
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.

I gave that rating level because it reflects both my satisfaction and expectations about PipelinerCRM.Plus, the adoption rate of this software. I mean the usability rate is very low. It just takes, for learning, a couple of hours less than three days roughly. Return on time investment is low also.

Support Rating
Apptivo Inc
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).

The support from Pipeliner CRM is superb; they have instant customer support and they are on time. They also give enough knowledge of sales and other material for the knowledge. They also have AI in the support by talking with customer support directly from the web or app and so on.

Apptivo Inc
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.

The most important reason for selecting pipeliner CRM:-exceptional user engagement through its sales-friendly interface. With its uniform navigation and visual approach, users can learn the system quickly. Users can easily customize what they see to make the system their own. Best user interface & fast to learn.

  • As a VisualCRM tool, our clients sales teams seem to accelerate their deal closes.
  • The visual tools allow those "no good deals" to be spotted and resource usage limited.
  • A great tool to manage those "pipelines" within the company. A pipe is really a series of actions that constitute a planned result.
