kvCORE has a better looking IDX website and claims to have many more features and customization options. In my opinion, the problem is that the kvCORE system doesn't function well, if at all, and as far as customization in reality you can't even get it customized enough to make …
Propertybase is so responsive it makes you feel like they really care about your business. No hard sell. Price is affordable. So many different ways to reach out for help if you need to and they are very responsive.
I didn't chose kvCORE. It's the only type system my brokerage has used since I joined. My brokerage is fabulous & I will not let KV Core be the reason I go elsewhere. I wish I could tell you how it compares to others similar systems. All O know is my own sad way to isn't good …
The CRM Zillow or Realtor.com provide to you don't even come close to comparing. They aren't built to be a CRM the way kvCORE is. In my opinion, kvCORE exceeds both platforms by a landslide.
All had their strengths and weaknesses. Salesforce was very robust but the learning curve would be too great for the older agents. Real Geeks just wasn't strong enough. LionDesk was good but very pricey for what you received. Their back-office software is really good. kvCORE …
None of these other platforms provide the robust Broker agent management and analytics that kvCORE has. In kvCORE, you can log in as an admin and edit / provide support for agent websites. You can create and share smart campaigns with agents. You can see how many leads, at what …
Brivity was an excellent CRM. The new brokerage we went to had kvCORE as part of the plan and why we changed. I would definitely go back to Brivity given the choice.
Konversion and BoomTown are the only two I have used. Both have their things to recommend. Since I used Konversion, using kvCORE was simpler and I was able to upload my contacts seamlessly. This made adopting a new system easier and less likely to have a gap in contacting …
kvCore is much better than Top Producer because it is automated. If you do not have an assistant then Top Producer is basically useless. It gives a lot of todos, it doesn't just do it. kvCore is just easier to use and much more intuitive than CINC. It has things built in …
It has been over 3 years since I evaluated other systems. With how fast technology changes and features are added, I don't feel like I am up to date enough to speak to this question.
LeadSquared is a dedicated Sales CRM. Earlier we were using Freshdesk for sales following a ticket based model which was highly inconvenient as all customer activity used to get created as a separate ticket and overall effort tracking was a mess. With the Lead and Activity …
We were searching for a CRM which was customizable according to our requirements and we tried with a lot of tools but this application has really worked out for us.
Flexibility and readiness to upgrade as per client's requirement. Support is at its best - The team, including people like Pratheek, is just amazing to work with. This totally reflects the company's work culture and the ethics they operate under. They have a client first …
LeadSquared is able to provide very important and informative reports and dashboards which is something we were looking for a long time and LeadSquared gave us all the things that we need. This is the main reason we selected LeadSquared against other alternatives.
LeadSquared is easier to use and much less expensive. The cost of onboarding (time and expense) is less than that of competitors. It's intuitive ease of use does not require one to have super in depth knowledge. There was much less risk going with LS compared to competitors …

Chose LeadSquared
Much more cost-effective than the other solutions on this list. Hubspot's A/B testing and email marketing library is much better, but not needed when you compare costs.
We tried integrating Zoho CRM but couldn't integrate it well and get our agents to use it. So, we looked at many other options and finalized on LeadSquared.
I looked closely at Infusionsoft. While the nurturing/decision tree tool of Infusionsoft was far more sophisticated, the many negative reviews of Infusionsoft lead me to look elsewhere. Leadsquared had very positive reviews and aggressive pricing. It has less features, but the …

Chose LeadSquared
We have to use ZOHO for CRM, AWeber or Get Response for auto responders and LeadPages for landing pages. LeadSquared is the complete package in one place. It saves time and improves quality and productivity.
According to me LeadSquared is a complete package for any one who does marketing and needs to manage multiple leads from different sources, and I am one of them. I felt LeadSquared was the best platform for me to work on without facing any difficulties.
I moved from MailChimp to LeadSquared. Primarily because I wanted landing pages and email marketing in one software. Plus I wanted more advanced ways of segmenting customers and data based triggering of autoresponders.
When it comes to Marketing Automation, LeadSquared wins hands-down in terms of features. They also have a very friendly support team who go that extra mile to make the customer happy.
Honestly, in my opinion, if they improved customer service had a checks an balance system for their employees things would be better. Having major issues with certain features and your only source of reprieve is the person who caused the issue is abominable I feel. Not sound.
I can't name one thing I like about using kvCORE. It has so many moving parts. This was what was offered by my brokerage & the training is all via long online prerecorded training sessions. I gave them many hours before I decided it would be more advantageous to take my leads & not use any part of kvCORE.
Leadsquared is well suited for small to medium-sized enterprises where the team is small and you have a lot of areas to explore. Every team can have their suites/ accounts customised accordingly. I am not sure if I can compare it for bigger enterprises but I feel this best of best to get your work done more efficiently.
Effortlessly keeps me in touch with my leads- kvCORE automatically sends texts and emails to my leads when they favorite a property, begin their search again, or sign up on my site. It also calls me to directly connect to any new leads that I haven't yet contacted. I don't even have to think about it or schedule it, kvCORE automatically does it all for me.
Effortlessly generates leads for me- with the squeeze page feature, all I have to do is copy and paste my customized direct link into my ads and kvCORE does the rest for me. It prompts the person for their contact info, sends them homes in the area and price range that is similar to the ad they clicked on, lets me know that I have a new lead, and automatically texts them from "me" thanking them for visiting my page and letting them know they can contact me with any questions. If they don't respond, kvCORE then calls me to automatically connect me with the lead to make sure that no one falls through the cracks.
Helps me to effortlessly stick to a daily schedule- kvCORE keeps me on schedule by giving me tasks to complete each day to be sure I'm staying in contact with my leads. All I have to do is login, click on my notifications at the top and follow the instructions. Call this lead....add a search alert for this lead.....add a market report for this lead....it makes it so easy to stay on task!
Call history is recorded like dialed calls, connected calls, total talktime in a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and on a custom basis.
The activity history of both customers, and employees are shown clearly, which help us a lot in understanding the interest of the customer, and their communication history with the organization.
Daily attendance history and man-days management can be done.
Sales performance and their values are mapped clearly.
Literally everything. I think their free websites are terrible. Good luck getting it to pop up well on a google search.
In my experience, their campaigns are useless on their own.
In my opinion, Support is terrible
Emails lack options to add attachments
System doesn’t remove duplicate clients
In my experience, when you transfer a lead, they will keep getting the previous agents campaigns. I think this is super confusing for consumer and terrible for agents since you need to constantly babysit kvCORE.
It is an excellent value for money solution and is fulfilling all our needs quite efficiently. They keep working on the product and each month sees an update allowing for a bug free experience and faster incorporation of newer tools. I see no reason why I would not like to renew the subscription for this fabulous product.
It doesn't deserve a zero because you can access contacts and get reminders to contact them. In my experience, you can not use the system for proper communication with both prospects and their spouses.
1. The learning curve is not too steep; it is fairly simple. The UI albeit old looking, is fairly simple. 2. It has a lot of integrated apps using which you can directly access other systems under a single umbrella. 3. Processes and permission templates allow for role based access, thereby further simplifying the system by removing unnecessary element with respect to a specific group
I have not used support for myself, but my team has to upload contacts into the Smart CRM. Since there are specific categories used in kvCORE, the template is very important to make sure they match and can be reconciled. The team members who used support were very excited to have their help.
Great to work with and also Easy to work with Do not just listen to the problem but provide upfront solutions Always available and are ready to support on holidays Considerate of user's knowledge and always ready to explain the smallest / dumbest doubt a user can ask Always available to help with the internal tasks as well like creating automations, drip creations etc
kvCORE has a better looking IDX website and claims to have many more features and customization options. In my opinion, the problem is that the kvCORE system doesn't function well, if at all, and as far as customization in reality you can't even get it customized enough to make it function at the most basic level. Firepoint was far superior in all functional aspects and they never took our website offline over 5 years time where kvCORE seems to do so every month or so.
LeadSquared is a dedicated Sales CRM. Earlier we were using Freshdesk for sales following a ticket based model which was highly inconvenient as all customer activity used to get created as a separate ticket and overall effort tracking was a mess. With the Lead and Activity model, tracking became much easier and yes, Freshdesk is a support tool and Freshsales does exist but LeadSquared fulfilled our usecase at a much lesser price.
We haven't converted any leads yet, out of about 800 total leads. But it's a tough market. And FB leads just suck in general. The reported cost per lead in kvCORE is artificially low since the number of leads it tracks is much higher than actual conversions. Their support says this is due to duplicates, but I consistently track about a 30% overreporting due to duplicates, which is unreasonably high.
Super high perceived value to our agents. They love kvCORE and love that we 1 on 1 help them set it up and use it. I think this 1 on 1 support is the key, but it wouldn't be possible without a great system.
The efficiencies of the system have dramatically reduced our operational time to onboard new agents. We used to go through a long process to create and set up new websites for agents. Now it takes about 5 minutes to get a new agent going with kvCORE, and a website live!
