Apptivo vs. Veeva CRM

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

Good for larger teams with a lot of activities and therefore a good justification for the investment. Great for 'as above' + the companies looking to integrate Veeva CRM with other Veeva offerings, such as Align, Inslight, Zinc/PromoMats etc. Not so great for smaller organisations or those with more slightly more restricting budgets.

• 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.

• Commercial Cloud
• Sunrise UI
• Multi device support from browser, iOS devices

• 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

• There is no offline version of the app so it is hard for field staffs to access where internet connectivity is not strong
• Can be expensive specially for a smaller company as it is based on SAAS platform

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.

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.

Better for field based medical personnel when recording Medical calls.

• 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

• Oftentimes it is the field sales force that heavily influence the choice of the CRM solution. It appears that many of our field sales force prefer Veeva. Happy reps = more actively used CRM = clearer understanding of the reps' activities.
• Veeva offer 2 implementation versions - out of the box implementation (around 6-8 weeks to install) and 'all singing, all dancing' implementation (based on the length of your specific string). You can pick one and therefore influence your ROI accordingly.
• Again, as Veeva CRM is pretty much a de facto CRM solution, this is good for scalability if/when rolling it out across multiple regions/branches
