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.

  • In my opinion, SUPPORT IS AWFUL!!!
  • If you want to get in touch with a support representative, your best bet is to call the sales number and demand to speak with an agent.
  • Each of the tools operates in a silo, from a support perspective. Some applications, like books, have chat-based support and others require an e-mail.
  • In my experience, expect any e-mail to the main support e-mail to go unanswered.
  • The first year of support was great, but after we renewed for the second year, it has become terrible.

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.

We've been a long time user and are always tweaking our automation to gain efficiencies while improving our service levels. It's pretty easy to come up with what you want to do and then do it yourself. Though, if you're looking to do some really tricked out automations, use of a Zoho Consultant would be a better idea as you'll get exactly what you need much quicker.

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).

Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

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.

There is nothing quite close to what Zoho offers with Zoho One in terms of breadth and depth of applications integrated together as a single product. Also, you get to manage a single license and user management on Zoho One, whereas you would need to work with multiple vendors and also simultaneously take care of billing and contract management with all of them. It is much easier with Zoho One
