If your company has a lot of data and needs a way to parse through it on a regular basis, Talisma is the software for you. If you want an easy to use system that has pretty graphics and a great user interface, look at other tools to see if you can find a better one.

Cosential is very intuitive for the AEC industry and has the ability to be customized for your specific needs. The reports are especially helpful, with good visual dashboards.

My original trainer / implementation specialist was fantastic. That relationship has continued, even though I have been officially handed off to the customer service side. The customer service side seems to have higher turnover than normal, but in general they are also very supportive, although not as responsive as I might like.

Talisma Social CRM

Talisma is a little behind the times compared to the other competition on the market. It has most of the tools to be successful, but it takes some deep diving into the software to figure out exactly how to use each of these tools to get the job done on a daily basis.
