Really Simple Systems
Chose Really Simple Systems
Really Simple Systems has less features than Zoho [CRM] but is a lot easier to use and therefore more suitable for our smaller business with employees using it who also have many other tasks.
Chose Really Simple Systems
It's like it takes the best bits from the above and puts it all into one easy-to-use system. Nowhere near as complicated. A couple of tweaks to be perfect but [it] certainly does the job I need it to.
Chose Really Simple Systems
[Really Simple Systems is a] good price for package value, [and we] can add more users.
Chose Really Simple Systems
Really simpler systems [are] a lot more simple to use for employees are not as confident with computers/technology, in comparison Zoho CRM was a lot more complicated to use. Really Simple Systems was the better option for our business.
Chose Really Simple Systems
We like it as it's good value for the price, [a lot] of us like to use it and it's a great location everyone knows to access for contacts[.]
Chose Really Simple Systems
Active campaign - much more expensive and hosting issues for us based in JSY[.]
Chose Really Simple Systems
We choose RSS due to cost. We are a startup and needed a great solution that did not cost [a lot]. RSS [fits] all our needs at the perfect price. We could not be more thrilled with our choice and it has simplified our client interaction[.]
Chose Really Simple Systems
I originally used Zoho CRM, but made the switch to REally Simple Systems and haven't looked back. Really Simple Systems at the time provided a more comprehensive customer database management and task tool than Zoho. Easier to use and nicer to look at. Never regretted the …
Chose Really Simple Systems
I was placing all my client information on Trello by using an excel file and adding to the upload documents cards on the Marketing Moon office board. This was all for the employees to see what going on with clients. The problem is, it was so frustrating excel UX was not as …
Chose Really Simple Systems
Goldmine was an older technology platform [that] became outdated in look, feel, and functionality.
Sage CRM was really built for Sage account users and is well integrated but limited in its marketing functionality.
Microsoft Dynamics took too long to build and implement. [We] got …
Chose Really Simple Systems
I have tried several other customer database programs and none have been as user friendly and at the same time very comprehensive on its capability.
Chose Really Simple Systems
We evaluated multiple products, and for our purposes Really Simple Systems appeared to be the best fit. Other than a couple of little quirks, we are not disappointed at all.
Chose Really Simple Systems
Really Simple is lower in cost and provides better customer support. salesforce doesn't provide a lot of back office support and is very expensive.
Chose Really Simple Systems
While Really Simple Systems doesn't have an APP Exchange like Sales Force does, most small businesses will find Really Simple Systems easy to use, affordable, and most of all their customer service is EXCELLENT! When you wear multiple hats like I do, Really Simple Systems …
Chose Really Simple Systems
I'm very familiar with salesforce.com and frankly speaking, they place a high mark for anyone in the space. I like the simplicity of Really Simple but I'm concerned that it comes at a price (giving a more comprehensive CRM).
Chose Really Simple Systems
Easier to use. Customer Service better. Better Value.
Chose Really Simple Systems
RSS was just significantly cheaper, I was able to manage everything myself, and I didn't get bogged down with an implementation team. I spent probably 5% of what I would have spent on these larger systems. I also really like the fact that I am not "tied" to RSS, and can switch …
Chose Really Simple Systems
simpler, less expensive, default organization is by company instead of by contact. RSS does not overcomplicate things. You don't have to take a 20 hour course before you can start using RSS to good effect.
Chose Really Simple Systems
I selected because of ease of use.
Chose Really Simple Systems
Really Simple Systems has the ability to be tailored by the user to the needs of the business with help if required provided very quickly and efficient processing and if very much part of our culture not simply a tool to process data. THe key selling point is the fact that we …
Chose Really Simple Systems
We were limited in terms of budget and our IT department wanted the data hosted in the UK. RSS fit with all of our requirements. We looked very closely at Kinetix as this also has an integrated event booking system which would have been ideal for us but it was too expensive.

I think one of the plus points is the simplicity of sending a simple email to your database and managing your prospects list. However, if you wanted to manage your sales pipeline in more depth it might not be right for you.

  • Wish I could sort by tags a bit easier. I manage this by using their Reports feature. But I would like to assign the same task to a list of prospects with the same tag, and the only way I can do that is to either add the task one-by-one or export a report with all the accounts with that tag, add the task in excel, and then import it. Not ideal.

Ease of Use Easy to configure Simple, Light and Fast UI Loved by the team No coding needed Helped us streamline our sales Process Automated tasks and reminders through prompt notifications Helps to close deals and no lead leakage Better customer support team who helped us in every step Reduce time spent on manual tracking and helped to get actionable insights

Simple systems is great for smaller sales and marketing teams to log their territories and report on progress on their opportunities. There are many useful features such as tasks and reporting to show to management how opportunities are progressing and when the estimated close date would occur. The two main issues are scalability within larger [organizations] and the ease to duplicate contacts.

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.

Whenever I have had any issues, which is probably only 3 times in 10 years, the back office support has been fantastic and got me up and running again in a very short time. Cannot fault them at all. But as I stated, problems have been very few and far between.
