LeadDelta vs. vcita

I signed up for LeadDelta because I heard they were the best CRM for business professionals using LinkedIn. I spent hours getting it set up and configured. I wanted to update my CRM contacts with the contact information from my Google account. So I went through the effort of migrating my Google contact data. But it created duplicates of all my contacts. I then tried to delete the duplicates, but the only option is to hide the imported contacts, there is no way to remove them. But hiding them does not remove them from the dashboard data. I reached out for help and had to argue with the customer support that my dashboard was indeed showing data for the hundreds of contacts I manually selected and hid. I was told they could not remove the contacts from their end. As a software engineer, I know it is not that hard to update a database. But I was told it was impossible. I politely asked for a refund, twice, but they refused, even though I had just subscribed 2 days prior and was never able to use the software to track my contacts. I had to contest the charges with the credit card company, and now LeadDelta is fighting the refund. I cannot believe their lack of customer service and care.

It makes client communication extremely easy - we can message and schedule online appointments. Clients really like those options. We also like the online payment portal. That way clients can pay at their convenience, and we don't end up with credit card information that requires PCI compliance. It also helps with payments. It would also help with invoicing, but unfortunately, there are only 3 linked payment options (Square, Stripe, and PayPal). If you don't use one of those payment processors, you cannot link to billing.

Incentivized

• Update contacts from Linkedin
• Displaying data
• Tagging Contacts

• Great for online appointment bookings.
• Good for taking payments.
• Good for onboarding new clients.
• Integrates with your website.
• Integrates with Facebook Pages.

Incentivized

• They should not require payment to clean up data when uploading from Google
• They should allow deleting contacts and cleaning up the dashboard
• They should allow rolling back failed merges with external databases

• Payment collection: We want to have an option to allow clients to choose the amount they wish to pay.
• Improved ease of use with forms.

Overall - easy to use. There are some missing features (like fillable pdf forms), and it also requires using certain credit card processors to link billing (otherwise it doesn't work).

I do miss the days when I could easily call up a rep and talk to them about any issues I had with the service. But I still do hear back from the customer service rep during the week within 24 hours.

LeadDelta was supposed to be easier to use and update. It was recommended to me as a better way to track my contacts and organize my followup. But with data corruption, LeadDelta became unusable for me, and they were unwilling to make it right.

I liked vCita a lot more for my home services company mainly because it handled scheduling through the software which was terrific.

Incentivized

• Cost me 2 days of work before it became unusable.
• Cost me $300 which they do not want to refund despite their inability to fix my dashboard.
• I wish I had never used LeadDelta in the first place.

• I have no clue
• I'm assuming that we would not have people making appointments with us if we didn't have this service
