Method:CRM vs. Wingmate Simple CRM

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.

• The customization team is brilliant!
• The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.

• Wingmate guarantees a high level of interaction between users.
• Wingmate can also be used educationally (demo version).
• It is possible to easily create sales simulations since Wingmate is not industry-specific at all.

Incentivized

• I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
• The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

Incentivized

• Still a very basic product. Although it does the basics well, a more rounded marketing solution would be better
• Designed for people on the go, rather than desk-based marketers
• Not as intuitive as other apps I've used (for example, sometimes some information/features are not the easiest to find)

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

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

Wingmate has simple usability procedures, for instance, the communications options, the customer mapping options, and others. Further, Wingmate creates proper orientation processes, which are sustainable and they make all users more equipped. Lastly, Wingmate is less technical, more outstanding, and the customer support have knowledgeable facts regarding the tool, and they share with customers.

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

The support is very good. They are willing to work on updates and continuous improvements. Support service is prompt and efficient from the software team. They help in training and make Wingmate always easy to use. Even if we use it educationally and not professionally, they are always ready for suggestions to improve the performance of the software at an educational level.

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.

Method is by far the easiest of all platforms. It brings a lot of great features that Salesforce has as well as email campaign features like constant contact, all in one. The only thing I would add would be more reporting and custom report capability.

Wingmate was used because the system was mostly used by sales/new business people rather than marketing people. Other products, such as HubSpot, [are] better suited for marketers but for simple lead management, pipeline management, and reporting to the wider team, Wingmate was used and that was a good choice based on needs.

• Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.

• It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.

• The analytical requirements have been supported by Wingmate very efficiently.
