Workbooks
Chose Workbooks
We felt the high amount of customisation available from Workbooks was much more beneficial to us than the offerings from the larger CRM companies. We also liked the smaller company mentality of Workbooks as it reminded us of ourselves. Ultimately the price also paid a factor as …
Chose Workbooks
We selected Workbooks because it had a more powerful reporting engine and a much slicker way of managing the sales pipeline and territories. It also gave us the ability to manage the support contracts better and ensure that the support team knew exactly who was in an active …
Chose Workbooks
The ability to customize Workbooks really gave them the lead against the other products that we have used or that we considered when upgrading from the Base CRM system.
Chose Workbooks
I've only used SugarCRM, Workbooks is a much more sophisticated product. A huge step in the right direction and the company are much better organized now, all across the board. The reporting, lead and support management are much more reliable for our business. We can do a lot …
Chose Workbooks
Workbooks was the best overall value. It had the functionality the client needed at the best price and the quickest implementation set up and overall time frame.
Chose Workbooks
Workbooks is highly customizable, affordable, scalable, and a workhorse when it comes to being able to design a system to get things done. There is almost no limitations to what can be done with it, and even if you don't want to use their built in automation engine to design …
Chose Workbooks
Stacks up well against private sector CRM, membership MRM and fundraising management systems - We needed functionality only normally seen within one or another of these system types and we chose Workbooks due to the comprehensive nature of what it can do, ease of use, …
Chose Workbooks
For us, SFDC was like using a sledge hammer to crack a walnut. Plus the cost put us off.
CallPro CRM came a close second in our review, but what made us eventually go with Workbooks was the UI. It was a much more friendly environment to work in.
Chose Workbooks
Have worked with the likes of SugarCRM, Salesforce, Siebel, and some of their predecessors. Most of them are too much, too complex and too expensive. Have seen most of these implemenations fail. Buying these typically require much consultancy and much bespoke implementation …
Chose Workbooks
We were previously with Sugar and this served us well when we started with very little money and a few staff, however we quickly outgrew Sugar and additional functionality required custom work or 3rd party plugin's. We needed a scalable system that could grow with our business, …
Chose Workbooks
We looked at Salesforce and Sage, they were too heavy and the custom work required meant any change would be cost prohibitive.
Chose Workbooks
Much lower cost than both products Very favourable comparison in user experience with M'soft Better GUI than S'force
Chose Workbooks
Salesforce, Pivotal and Sugar. I find Workbooks much easier to use and more efficient.
Chose Workbooks
Haven't used any similar products.
Chose Workbooks
Easier to use…….and less expensive to customise.
Chose Workbooks
Sage CRM overall is a good product, but it's ease of use left something to be desired, especially with our administrative department that had little to no experience with CRM.
Another BIG PLUS of Workbooks.com over Sage is the fact that it's somewhere between 50% to 30% cheaper! …

Workbooks offers great support, as do ( in our experience) local partners. It works really well for our sales and marketing departments. Workbooks is really effective in tracking our marketing campaigns. It also keeps tabs on existing clients, and gives insight on how quickly potentials are turned to customers.
As with all CRM it strongly depends on how well it is being maintained and used by the user. We have found that with the ease of use of Workbooks its become much less of an issue. Where as before we didn't only look at the data produced but actually had to keep track of the system being used accurately. We constantly needed to keep tabs on the actual level of maintaining.
The fact that we see data being produced organically (naturally being updated and tracked) to me is a testament of the user friendly nature of workbooks.

Pros
No answers on this topic
  • Sales process management from enquiry to delivery of product
  • This was previously on as many as 4 systems using excel and legacy applications such as the written word in log books
  • Automatic reporting for financial compliance: once built, the reporting process reduced the workload on a monthly basis from 2 days to 20 minutes
  • The FD loved it
  • The overall capability of the package enabled the sales force to rapidly pull our pertinent data for a sales call, plus managing time and resources better for increased efficiency
  • Business development and focussed marketing became so much easier, we noted that the process paid for itself many times over

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • We use it for support but find it difficult to easily link support emails that arrive to organisations, it requires a lot of manual input to open/close a case
  • The flexibility can be a hindrance as it can be difficult to work out exactly what you wish to see, especially in reports. Sometimes a simple report is all thats required but it provides a lot of information
  • Can sometimes be a little slow and goes down from time to time but this is fairly rare

Workbooks is highly customizable, affordable, scalable, and a workhorse when it comes to being able to design a system to get things done. There is almost no limitations to what can be done with it, and even if you don't want to use their built in automation engine to design highly specific workflows, the functionality out of the gates is a tremendous asset for most businesses

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • Tracking of customers who are in active support or not has benefited the support team's time by not supporting non paying customers.
  • Keeping track of why sales are won or lost has meant we can call upon times when new leads have the same characteristics as old wins/loses.
  • Creating auto invoicing scripts has drastically cut the finance team's invoicing time.
