Crowdbase (discontinued) vs Deltek WorkBook

Likelihood to Recommend

I wouldn't suggest Crowdbasefor smaller companies, even for bigger companies a more integrated solution would be desirable. It may suit companies that want their collaboration separate from project management and CRM, but at least for our organisation it seems to make more sense to have most of our work tools in one place

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 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.

Alternatives Considered

Crowdbase's strength may lie in its ability to do just one main thing well, but for us this was a massive limitation. I know that it is not trying to be Podio and it is therefore unfair to compare the two but there are features that overlap. for us Podio was better suited.

WorkBook is one of the cheaper solutions on the market, which, in the long term, gives a great ROI.
We have spent a lot of time on support which is a negative impact.
