Copper vs. Streak

For small businesses and businesses that use Google Workspace, Copper is a great solution. It integrates well with Google, boosts features and capabilities of email, and provides an easy to use CRM system. It's also cost effective. For larger organizations, a more powerful tool is recommended that is more customizable. Might not work well outside of google either.

If you receive a notification that a prospect just read your email and you don't receive a response, you're then aware they've received it and your pitch or product is on their mind -- making a call later that day all the more effective.

• Allows for contacts to be synced and organized directly from Gmail.
• Gives a flexible style and customizable settings to match our company's specific needs.
• Does a great job of helping us keep track of projects. We easily created a customized "Status" field with several status options that help us update the many phases of our project.

• The e-mail tracking feature is easy to use and very handy.
• The snippets feature are very good, have shortcuts to use and save a lot of time.
• Having a CRM platform inside your Gmail/Gsuite account is great for improving the use in a day to day basis.

• Window change: for mobile - when you tap on a card from a pipeline it takes you to the lead’s basic info. I wish it would immediately just open all activities so I can quick see notes
• I usually use Copper on the go. When you open the Copper app, it immediately opens a collab window. I wish it had some sort of easy dashboard….plus a notes area. I open Copper on mobile to quickly search for someone’s name or to take quick notes from a sales meeting

• Streak should work better with Microsoft. Often you need to run your excel files through Sheets in order for them to be compatible.
• Having a Dashboard rather than being a tab in your email might add to its usability.
• Automated progression through the stages

Realistically, Copper (or any CRM for that matter) can't be everything to every company. It's difficult for any CRM to be well-suited to fit every industry and every business model. Thankfully, Copper's ability to customize things within the platform, as well as Copper's drive for customer success/satisfaction, has led us to be very satisfied with the platform. The only reason Copper isn't a 10/10 is due some of the inevitable shortcomings that any CRM would have because it isn't something that was bespoke for our company. This is no fault of Copper's but it should be mentioned.

There have been a few times when I contacted the "help desk" or "support team" and they just told me to watch a video or join a seminar to learn what I am looking to do. I would have expected someone to take a few minutes and literally walk me through the steps one by one until either I figured it out or accomplished the goal of my request.

They do a great job of explaining the product beforehand so support interaction is not needed as much.

When I switched from being an employee to employer, one of my first tasks was to find a CRM that was suitable for me. Moving from Pipedrive to Copper was an easy decision. I only needed a place to store my contacts, have a great calendar, and be able to email directly from the CRM. Copper has all of that. Pipedrive had some issues and I wanted to move away from them. Copper has been great.

HubSpot was almost too freeform, I had a hard time grasping how it could work for me because there was so much that could be changed around. Streak was so easy to figure out without much time invested and I like that it just lives in my Gmail without needing to go to a separate website/login.

• It has helped me save time on reaching out to people thinking that they didn't get my first email.
• It had the positive return on investment in the fact that the time I spend using Streak is much less than the time I would spend not using it.
• Streak has taught me the importance and ease of mail merges, since nothing else out there was as seamless to start with.
