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.

Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

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

  • It would be great if we could attach files to a lead or account in general and not just in an activity or opportunity.
  • All custom fields do not show up as options for a view when searching for leads or customers within certain parameters.

Method has a great overall "usability". Once we started using the software; it did not take long before we were able to start editing our own web lead forms, email templates, etc. I think there is a learning curve however the learning curve is not bad. Anyone looking for a cloud CRM should start here

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.

We chose Method:CRM for the QuickBooks integration. It was important for us to have integrations that allowed us to view payments, organize our contacts, and manage our sales force. There were some learning curves, however, such as creating activities, leads, customers and making sure our payments were being logged appropriately. I do wish that payments would be added to the calendar automatically so that the sales rep could view and make a phone call letting them know their invoice is due.

  • Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
  • It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
  • It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.
