Teamgate CRM is well suited for companies that want to centralize leads, current clients, and communication history in one CRM. A scenario where team gate is appropriate is if a company wants to use custom sales pipelines and stages to track a sales lead that will transition to a deal. A scenario where team gate is NOT appropriate is for a company that doesn't need a cloud-based CRM because there don't travel a lot and will always use the same computer that you might as well have a CRM server on-site and save money.

• Integration with SMS gateway and Mailchimp is fantastic
• Great looking dashboard and graphics
• So easy to use and customise even I could do it

• LocaliQ could improve how it tracks and reports on customer journeys across those channels to provide a clearer view of ROI.
• The pricing structure is not fully transparent, making it hard to understand the true costs associated with campaigns. Breaking down the fees associated with LocaliQ would make budgeting easier.
• LocaliQ is able to provide basic ad creative, but there tends to be a disconnect between our brand voice and what is expected with creative. It would be nice to be able to get all design work within LocaliQ rather than have to use and outside designer all the time.

• As this is cloud-based software, we find that the servers are down at least twice a month, this is too much.
• The speed of page loading can be improved also it takes long to open reports if you use a big date range.
• There should be a way to reset another users password.

The product exceeds our needs usability-wise.

Overall usability pretty good. If we would have gotten better return on our advertising dollar I would have continued with them - their dashboard was very easy to use and the recaps they provided were helpful. They try to put data in bite-sized pieces for the client that are understandable (unlike google's reporting page itself which can be a bit difficult to understand at times). Their team was friendly, semi-responsive, and provided explanations when requested

I rated this product an 8 for overall usability because Teamgate is very user-friendly and this helps the CRM meet the required use case that companies who buy it have. The feature to sign in from anywhere that has a net connection is huge For example the home page being the leads section and the fact that each lead has all the past and current communication with the potential client allows support agents, and the sales team to be on the same page I didn't give it a 10 because the slowness issue affects performance and usability.

Unplanned outages do cause issues with this cloud platform, as they occur twice a month.

I haven't had to contact the support team as of yet but my co-worker expressed his frustration with the amount of technical product knowledge the Teamgate support team had. He said he felt he knew the product better than the Teamgate helpdesk.

I have investigated national services like American Eagle and also small market locally owned business like Red Shoes. Each year, I look into at least one other service provider to evaluate our service value. So far, no other company has come close to providing an all around service

When I say we evaluated other CRMs I think that's an understatement, we tried about ten different systems and Teamgate was by far the best.

There is always the challenge with practices that have multiple locations, trying to target a geographical zone that is sometimes to wide. But we have successfully navigated this issue when needed to target those who need the most added volume.

The sales team can use this product as much as the support as lead generating teams.
