    It is well-suited for mid-sized companies. And the pricing is relatively better. I don't think it will work well well with companies handling bleeding-edge tech. But if u are looking for a typical CRM which does what it's supposed to do, then go for it. And it works well with your ERP software too.

    More Appropriate Scenarios: 1. It helps in visualizing opportunities with our customers that help us strategize and execute good sales activities to drive our business. 2. It helps in improving the flow of communication between the different departments. 3. It is extremely easy to log call notes and schedule future calls so we never miss an opportunity to reach out to our customers and get the sale. 4. We can create reports that show where my sales are up, and down. It allows me to focus on customers that are down in specific categories and pinpoints the exact products. Less Appropriate Scenarios: 1. The pipeline is very basic which is a bit of a let-down as this is a function we require so have to use a stand-alone product for this. 2. Difficult to pull specific information about a group of customers.

    Usability
    Ardexus Inc.
    Firstly, it's relatively cheaper than the other products in this segment but offers more features. For mid-Sized companies, this CRM is the best choice. If the company is already using Lotus Notes, the integration becomes easier. And finally, this is IBM-based.

    Oracle CRM on-demand is better for a huge company; it doesn't offer the level of customization this CRM offers. It provides less scope for 3rd party integrations. The analytics are far better with Ardexus CRM. Oracle CRM has not changed in 10 years, whereas Ardexus CRM gets constant Updates.
