Close CRM vs. Wingmate Simple CRM

Excellent software to increase sales and follow up with existing and new customers. Email and SMS handling are really easy for the sales team, managing leads is really great, and Close merges duplicate leads to help our Data Leads avoid repetitive and unnecessary calls. As mentioned in some comments before, must improve in reports, Close is not appropriate to handle or track agents' hours making it necessary to implement additional software to cover this area.

It's my favorite CRM to recommend to sales organizations. Robust Telephony options including a Power Dialer, SMS, and Voice Drop, are completely integrated into the CRM. The kicker is you can have "Unlimited" contacts where many platforms charge based on the number of users. This can make a huge difference in monthly billing.

I haven't really had the need to use their support, but the only time I had an issue with the platform, the Close team was very attentive and responded in a short span of time. Also they take minimal time to solve issues. The only con here is there is no way to reach out to them apart from email.

The support is very good. They are willing to work on updates and continuous improvements. Support service is prompt and efficient from the software team. They help in training and make Wingmate always easy to use. Even if we use it educationally and not professionally, they are always ready for suggestions to improve the performance of the software at an educational level.

Pipedrive was great for us for a long time. We used it for over 4 years. Our product and process was simple. When things got more complex, we needed something that could handle our growing needs and Pipedrive kept falling short. We built our own custom solution in Airtable and though it worked, we spend a lot of time managing it. Close was able to solve all our issues and save us hours per week in admin work.

Wingmate was used because the system was mostly used by sales/new business people rather than marketing people. Other products, such as HubSpot, [are] better suited for marketers but for simple lead management, pipeline management, and reporting to the wider team, Wingmate was used and that was a good choice based on needs.
