    As I am highly satisfied with the working of Apteama CRM I would like to recommend it to everyone with all sizes of the firm as it is ideal for firms from small to large ones. With its features, I can guarantee the best CRM solutions along with marketing automation. Although I am looking forward to it to offer more customizations.

    Hiver
    One scenario where Hiver works really well is in a shared support or billing inbox or anywhere multiple team members need access to the same messages. For example, when a customer emails about a billing question, we used to reply and manually loop in the billing team or forward the message. That often caused confusion, especially when someone forgot to “reply all” or responded only to the teammate instead of the customer.Now with Hiver, we just assign the conversation to the billing inbox, and whoever is available can respond. Everyone on the team can see the thread, status, and notes, which avoids duplicated efforts and missed replies. We also used to rely on Google Groups, but it wasn’t clear if someone had already replied, and there was no easy way to collaborate behind the scenes. Hiver completely solved that for us.As for situations where Hiver might be less ideal, I’d say if your team isn’t using Gmail or Google Workspace, then it’s probably not a good fit. It’s really designed for teams that live in Gmail so the team doesn't have to learn a new system. I'm sure some businesses will require a more robust ticketing solution but for our use case, this was a perfect option to improve outcomes, client service, and satisfaction.

    Cons
    Aptean
    • I was expecting some more flexibility in it.
    • Its customer support is highly non-vigilant and should learn how to work responsibly.

    IntuitiveERP included this CRM package with our license, so there was no extra cost to implement it. Salesforce is expensive so we felt that we could use this package to justify our need for CRM by implementing this package, and if it was improving our sales we could say that a larger package would give the ROI we expect.

    Hiver
    True ticketing solutions are certainly more robust in that you can typically manage social media channels and phones, etc. But, in my opinion, when you don't have a team solely responsible for managing a ticketing system they can be complicated to implement. With HIVER, we're already all accustomed to managing our own G-Suite inbox, so it was simply a matter of teaching the team how to utilize the solution.
