MethodCRM
Chose MethodCRM
Method:CRM is a more affordable and user-friendly CRM. It is easier to manage Method:CRM without having to purchase a bunch of add-ons like you do with Salesforce. You get what you see in the demonstration without hidden costs. The ability to create custom fields is great. …
Chose MethodCRM
Method communicates with QuickBooks better than Salesforce did. Method also provides better tools for notes and opportunities than Business Central or ACT!
Chose MethodCRM
Easier to use than Autorask or Manage. Less expensive than Salesforce while still delivering a lot of functionality, 8n a slightly less elegant fashion.
Chose MethodCRM
We were using Quickbooks Desktop Enterprise for a very long time. However, the software is archaic and dated. Method allows us to step into the 21st century. We now have much more online / automated interactions with our customers. We like that Method also lets us customize a …
Chose MethodCRM
We chose Method over Salesforce because we felt as though they were not tailored to our size of the company and our specific needs overall. They offered many things that we found very appealing but at the end of the day, we knew that with most importantly we needed a CRM to …
Chose MethodCRM
Work is essentially a calendar and a set of tasks. Method allows me to set up recurring onboarding task lists and keep track of all customer touchpoint in one place.
Chose MethodCRM
I am not familiar with any other products
Chose MethodCRM
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 …
Chose MethodCRM
Method is by far the easiest of all platforms. It brings a lot of great features that salesforce has as well as email campaign features like constant contact, all in one. The only thing I would add would be more reporting and custom report capability.
Chose MethodCRM
Method is really designed for those who use QuickBooks. I like there is no cost to integrate with the software. Like other crm the user would have to an additional to integrate, but all features of QuickBooks would not able to integrate especially payments. Method has all …
Chose MethodCRM
I believe that Method:CRM is far superior to Salesforce and the others mentioned above for the following reasons:
  1. It is scalable and affordable.
  2. It doesn't take an engineering degree to learn how to use it.
Chose MethodCRM
I have not used other similar products.
Chose MethodCRM
It's highly customizable and user friendly.
Chose MethodCRM
We also have used a few other tools such as Insightly. Hands down Method: CRM lead management, quickbook automation & notifications wins the game.
Chose MethodCRM
I was not a part of the selection process of Method:CRM but I was part of the decision to cancel the service and I was a part of the decision-making group that found the alternative solution to what Method was doing for us. The thing that set the others apart from Method was …
Chose MethodCRM
Connectwise was a great product it was just not cost effective for our company. We actually really liked how Connectwise worked, it was just WAY too expensive.
Chose MethodCRM
I love the infinite customization available in Method CRM. No other CRM offers as much ROI and flexibility of design of the user interface. However Method's built-in feature set doesn't include many of the extras that might be found in a more niche product. Furthermore, while …

Sharing some of the use cases where Assistive CRM is best suited, Best for Funnel tracking 0% Lead leakage BFSI Best Mobile CRM for Reports and insights FMCG Healthtech Field first CRM Edutech I'm personally using Assistive CRM for managing my leads and improving sales productivity, earlier I was using excel and was not able to track the sales person and manage the funnel but Assistive CRM has streamlined our sales process and increased our revenue

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
  • Marketing
  • OCR
  • No improvement as such
Read full review
  • I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
  • The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well. If you are looking for a CRM product or any business process automation software that integrates with QuickBooks, you have to look at Method CRM

I'm fairly new to the company and have only been using Method for the last year and the ease of use has been a blessing for me. I've self trained on most of the aspects and have incorporated new operations in the company, based on what Method has to offer, that have enhanced the productivity for all associates.

Support Rating
The team is super responsive and helped us in every step. We contacted their support team whenever we face any kind of queries while using the web or application, every query raised is tracked and TAT is shared. The CS team is even available on weekends if there is any requests from our end, and for any extended support.

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient.
