Contactually CRM (discontinued) vs. Deltek WorkBook

Contactually is a very powerful CRM, even though it is extremely simple to use. It is very intuitive and fun to use! Their templates for nurturing and follow-up are phenomenal, so if you have a sales cycle, this is the tool for you. I even use it to keep track of family and acquaintances' interactions, as Contactually can alert me when it's been 30 days since the last time I talked to person A. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because price has been going up in recent years.

My recommendation very much depends on who the colleague is. I would recommend WorkBook if it is an accountant, project manager or someone similar, and if the setup is done within WorkBook and passwords, etc. are being used within WorkBook only. I would tell IT Managers to avoid the application and think twice in terms of access management etc.

• The get connected prompts is a very useful feature.
• Good data consolidation picked up from a variety of sources.
• Once added, the contact profiles are updated regularly with how the contacts' LinkedIn profile would change.

• Workbook handles all processes in a consultancy company
• Workflow options on all thinkable processes
• Support global growth and intercompany management
• Strong planning tool
• Able to manage multiple clients to one project

Incentivized

• Pipeline functions. It's pretty bare minimum right now.
• Capturing text and phone calls outside the app. It's hard to remember to initiate both from the app.
• Calendar function. You should be able to edit the calendar in Contactually and it would sync with your Google calendar.

Incentivized

• The integrations on IT level are not great and should be improved.
• Change of IP's that's used for logins are being changed without reporting it to super users.

Just doesn't provide the sophistication that I seek. It's a simple solution with some innovation automation relatively speaking, but ideal for individuals and small businesses with basic CRM needs.

Easy to use, does not require a strong technical background at all.

Gets the job done, just not the sexiest.
