Likelihood to Recommend
EngageBay Inc.
I would absolutely recommend EngageBay to any customer looking to switch from Marketo or Salesforce that wanted a cheaper solution while still highly effective. Those platforms require hands-on integration consultants and full-time employees that know how to handle those CRMs. This CRM is easy to use for any beginner marketer.

Advantages
  • The price-quality ratio is excellent, even though Odoo has become very competitive.
  • The time to implementation is also great, if not one of the best.
  • Excellent billing and service desk apps
It is not the best solution if you are looking into a collaboration-focused software suite.

Zoho
  • The integration is loose and needs to be more stable and a true integration
  • Development appears to take long periods of time to bring customer enhancements into the next release. I have seen numerous obvious business application needs to be brought to the attention that is still 2-3 years old without an update
  • Unified User Interface and back end functionality/configuration across applications

Usability
EngageBay Inc.
EngageBay's incredibly easy to use. I was able to pick up the CRM and start using right away with little issues. Anyone with basic CRM knowledge should be able to get started on EngageBay easy. Their customer service team also makes onboarding very easy and will work with you on any issue.

Zoho One it’s pretty user-friendly and pretty easy to learn. It makes a lot of sense, but then there are moments when it’s kind of confusing and written in a really odd way. Overall, it’s a really great product and it does a great job with all of its tools

Support Rating
EngageBay Inc.
Their support team is incredibly response, with a livechat option anytime during business hours. I was able to work with them on a variet of issues and they were extremely hands-on. The same reps are always there and friendly and ready to work with. There isn't a CRM that has better customer service.

Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

Alternatives Considered
EngageBay Inc.
Salesforce and Marketo are the strongest CRM products out there in the space. The drawback they have is that they are immensely expensive and complex to set-up / use. Salesforce is extremely complex, especially when using in conjunction with Pardot. EngageBay is simple, easy to use, and easy to build from. And their customer service is far more responsive than those platforms.
