    Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

    1) Great for managing your work and personal activities. 2) One of the best implementations of the Getting Things Done method. 3) Not really suited for collaborative work management; OmniFocus is managed on a per-user basis so you can't share/assign tasks.

    Pros
    Method Integration Inc.
    • The customization team is brilliant!
    • The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
    • The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
    • I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

    • Ease of viewing your projects at a high-level.
    • Ease of viewing what tasks need to be done at the present moment and the sorting of those tasks by availability, due date, start date, needed resources, and project.
    • The visual interface is really nice to work with, the UX/UI is intelligent and intuitive.
    • It's the most extensible software I've used. There is a community of people that publish compatible scripts for Omnifocus at no charge.
    • The code is robust and I've almost never had a bug or a glitch that resulted in issues.
    • The software syncs in the cloud between MacOS and iOS seamlessly and faster than other To-Do software. The sync aspect is available free of charge.
    • The development team at Omnifocus is on top of bugs and they have been adding releases regularly to increase functionality and performance.
    • While OmniFocus adheres to the GTD (Getting things done) principles, it can be used in almost any manner and you aren't stuck with just that methodology.

    Cons
    Method Integration Inc.
    • It would be great if we could attach files to a lead or account in general and not just in an activity or opportunity.
    • All custom fields do not show up as options for a view when searching for leads or customers within certain parameters.

    • I would really like to see graphic presentations of how I allocate my time, what categories of tasks don't get accomplished, etc.
    • I would like to see OmniFocus include Gantt chart functionality, such as allowing me to see how long it took me to accomplish a task from start to finish. Allowing me to actually input time spent, and seeing it on a Gantt chart, would be icing on the cake.

    The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well. If you are looking for a CRM product or any business process automation software that integrates with QuickBooks, you have to look at Method CRM

    Usability
    Method Integration Inc.
    Method has a great overall "usability". Once we started using the software; it did not take long before we were able to start editing our own web lead forms, email templates, etc. I think there is a learning curve however the learning curve is not bad. Anyone looking for a cloud CRM should start here

    The Customer Support of this app is fantastic. If you ever have any questions they are there to answer you or fix whatever issue that you are having. The FAQ pages are also extremely helpful when you want to learn about the more in-depth qualities this program has to offer.

    OmniFocus has excellent user forums. They're active as well as mature, since the product has been around for years. I've never needed to actually contact customer support because OmniFocus is popular enough that I've always been able to find an answer in the forums, or in an article, or in a YouTube video.

    Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient.

    We chose Method:CRM for the QuickBooks integration. It was important for us to have integrations that allowed us to view payments, organize our contacts, and manage our sales force. There were some learning curves, however, such as creating activities, leads, customers and making sure our payments were being logged appropriately. I do wish that payments would be added to the calendar automatically so that the sales rep could view and make a phone call letting them know their invoice is due.

    OmniFocus is built for the user with a lot going on - consequently, it does a great job at organizing lots of things in a manageable workload. It's perfect for taking a project and breaking it down into small tasks for yourself or teams. Once you get past the learning curve, it's quick at adding new tasks. Overall, it's an excellent product.

    Return on Investment
    Method Integration Inc.
    • Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
    • It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
    • It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.

    • OmniFocus keeps our tasks moving forward. Using a free script you can search all your current projects for projects that have no next step assigned to it to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
    • When we serve our clients, the attention to detail we are able to give them comes from accurate tracking of what we need to deliver.
    • We complete projects 25% faster than before and we can see where the bottlenecks are immediate. We have also been forced to document tasks in a more concrete manner which allows for better execution.
