Likelihood to Recommend 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

Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Redtail CRM gives the capability to have a place to store all client-related documents in a readily accessible, yet secure, location. Redtail CRM has a feature to input notes and comments on particular clients in order to keep track of communications with and steps taken for those clients. Those notes can be easily accessed across the firm. Redtail CRM allows all email communications to be stored in a safe and secure manner as well as making those communications accessible on demand. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review I would like to see the ability to push annuity business into Redtail like brokerage accounts. I would like to be able to attach documents to specific notes instead of just contacts in general. Those are the only two cons that I have. Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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).
Read full review Implementation Rating 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
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Quite honestly, I have visibility into a number of CRM systems and Redtail stands alone as the strongest contender. It has the most thorough and customizable interface of any I have encountered. There are few other tools that offer the unmatched flexibility and the depth that any business could stand to profit from.
Read full review Return on Investment It allows me to get a vision of what is happening with the business control sales, marketing and customer service processes from a single point facilitates administrative tasks Read full review Redtail makes it easy to log customer interactions for compliance related fields. With Redtail, you don't have to worry about losing information. Just pull up the customer's profile and make some notes on what is going on. You can never be too detailed in the advisor industry. The integration ability at Redtail really saves us heaps of time. You can feed information over from the custodian straight over to another 3rd party. API is game changing!
