    Korero would be the best choice for freelance professionals, small and medium size companies, in my opinion. It is also a great platform for those who are looking for ATS and CRM together at an affordable price. For a one man company it becomes expensive to buy software and manage relationships and recruitment process online and in that scenario Korero platform comes handy with its offerings and price. Its relatively new in the market so I would say they can bring more add-ons with time but for now I feel it has a lot of potential to support the recruiters like me and many other businesses.

    Zendesk sell is best for organizations that want a clean and simple, yet powerfully effective CRM tool. It's intuitive, extremely user-friendly, supplies lots of video tutorials and access to the California team for FAQ's, and has all the features other, more complicated, expensive CRM's have. Great for institutions that have a need to tailor their database to fit your needs; and track sales, tasks, and pipeline projects in graphic form. It's affordable and has a great app for mobile phones that allows access to contacts, notes, tasks, and a workable platform while on the go in real time. It's simple to teach new users how to navigate and utilize. Adding or deleting users is simple, and access to the CRM information can be limited/private or made public for the entire team to access. Not as costly as some of the competing products, so if you are on a tight budget this may be the tool for you.

    • My favorite piece is the Tasks connected to the Clients OR the Deals themselves that keep the process moving with the right steps, and helps our team from doubling our work, or missing a piece that is crucial for the completion of the sale.
    • The email integration helps to keep all things housed in one place also, so that you're not bouncing back and forth in multiple platforms to stay on top of the orders.
    • Customizations are a HUGE part of why we use Base CRM right now. We can make sure we are recording all of the right information, and not wasting time by having to fill in or skip over content that doesn't apply to our business model.
    • I also like the ability to tied Deals to multiple people, especially as Referrals come across, so we don't forget how we got in touch with different clients.

    • There was no ability to add prospects from a company domain or email to auto-fill any data.
    • You had to type in all of the data you gathered about that prospect.
    • The default only gave you two phone numbers for the company, too few.

    The integration with the other Zendesk products is key. Allows other people in the company, such as support, to be involved in the sales process.

    I’m pretty happy with Korero as it gives me an easy to use interface and a holistic view for my sales and recruitment requirements. It helps me keep a tab on various open opportunities and ones in the pipeline. At this point of time, my business requirements are well met.

    I received about two hours worth of training on Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM). I will say it's a clean look and the ability to change views is extremely helpful. I do wish there were other features that allowed the views to be more simplistic. Some views can be overwhelming to look at. Nevertheless with the minimum training, I am still able to navigate through Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM) successfully due to the ease of usability.

They give us the feeling that we are important for them. They don’t charge extra for any small questions. The support is very friendly.

    Due to the ease of the product, I have not had the chance to reach out to support yet. I’ve had no reason. The resources provided to clients are extremely helpful and detailed. So far my questions have been pretty basic and I generally just ask my colleague or teammate. They're able to assist with the answer.

    This product has a great backing of users, but needs more options direct from Base CRM on all operations of the software. YouTube videos do a great job of helping implement, and the back end support is a great help as well. The CRM is a great free option, and should be treated as such.

    Price point is a great advantage as it combines ATS and CRM . Easy to navigate and the best part is if I feel something is missing and needs improvement, I leave feedback and the company acts upon it. The support team is very responsive and my work has never been hindered.

    Simpler than most CRMs, which can be good if your sales team is not very tech savvy. We switched to HubSpot which provides a lot more value than Base did, but it isn't right for everyone. HubSpot is focused on capturing in-bound leads and has its own flaws and limitations, but overall it's a better fit for our needs.

    • Using Base has allowed us to double the number of active sales and partner engagements that we can keep track of and make progress on.
    • This has led to us being able to follow up on many smaller deals that were falling through the cracks.
