    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.

    Pipedrive is a fantastic tool to help monitor and track lead generation and referral sources. It helps maintain accountability with the sales team and helps ensure that we are doing appropriate marketing to maintain a steady influx of cases. The weekly and quarterly sales reports that it can generate are incredibly helpful and insightful. They help inform us of what we need to focus on each quarter/year.

    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.

    • Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
    • The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
    • The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed

    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.

    • Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
    • Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
    • Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

    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.

    Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

    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.

    I much prefer the interface of Pipedive when compared to Zoho. Much more user friendly and the team is always readily available when we need them. Pipedrive allowed for many custom integrations to be added, as Zoho was a tad more complicated to manipulate. We would not go back to Zoho in any case.

    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.

    • Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
    • We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
    • Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
