Considered Both Products
Paperflite
Chose Paperflite
Paperflite is much better than what we were using because of the entire interface and the powerful features they bring to the table.
Chose Paperflite
Paperflite's features and user interface definitely stand out compared to other platforms
Chose Paperflite
Paperflite stands tall in this case because they have a support supportive team and their platform is extremely user-friendly with features like being able to edit on a document, deep analytics/reports, and e-mail gate content assets if needed.
Chose Paperflite
Paperflites discoverability feature has simplified finding content across the organization. The asset-wise analytics feature that it offers vs other competitors has helped us understand what keeps users engaged.
Chose Paperflite
Highspot, Seismic, DocSend, from Dropbox and Showpad Coach (LearnCore)
Chose Paperflite
With Paperflite, the analytics provided are much more insightful compared to DocSend. Paperflite's content intelligence helps understand how content is performing with each prospect. Easy accessibility with Paperflite, cause we can use it on a phone or IPAD and not just …

Chose Paperflite
Paperflite stands tall amongst the other tools available. Their features are something that stands out and their team is always available and helps in taking up customizations
Chose Paperflite
Paperflite’s team has always been helpful and available at all times. My entire experience with them has been brilliant and they’ve helped in various customisations to my needs. Their support staff is truly top-notch!
Chose Paperflite
The best part about Paperflite is the user interface. Very simple to learn and anyone can master it by spending a couple of hours playing around. That, according to me, is the biggest plus point when I compare it with Showpad, as an apples-to-apples comparison. GDrive & …
Sage CRM
Chose Sage CRM
We evaluated many other CRM but selected Sage CRM because it is one of the most cost effective CRM's available in the market. I would say this is the best platform to manage leads, though they have not a great customer support team still it solves the basic problem of lead …
Chose Sage CRM
Price-wise this product is more affordable so we choose the Sage CRM.
Chose Sage CRM
Sage is an awesome CRM and has several functionalities that several small business can take advantage of however for a small start up business that is trying to get its legs, Hubspot has affordable pricing and complete customization of the backend, meaning that you can create …
Chose Sage CRM
Salesforce didn't have the integration we needed in Sage CRM. The number of dollars spent on hiring developers or buying a product, in addition to the licensing for Salesforce itself put it out of reach.
Chose Sage CRM
I used Salesforce in the past which does almost everything as Sage CRM, but typically it's a bit expensive. It also lacks the advanced web interface and did not suit well with other software.
Chose Sage CRM
I have looked at and used both Salesforce and Maximizer in the past. Salesforce offer similar functionality to Sage CRM at much higher price typically. Maximer has less funtionality and because of its on premise background lacks the advanced web interface of Sage CRM.
Chose Sage CRM
I like that it is web based and it can be used remotely but the reporting of data needs some work.
Chose Sage CRM
I have a preference for Salesforce.com because of the app exchange that they have. Sage CRM is more on par with Oracle CRM and Netsuite CRM. Oracle CRM is the most similar with the dual options of on-premise and cloud based solutions. I am mostly working with Salesforce.com …
Chose Sage CRM
Since we have since left Sage CRM, due to not matching up to our current needs, I would not be able to answer this question.
Chose Sage CRM
Salesforce and Maximizer CRM. In my personal opinion, I prefer both of these products over Sage CRM. They are both more user friendly and easier to maintain. Also Sage has shot their prices up over the years and the price just does not match the product, in my opinion. Sage CRM …
Chose Sage CRM
Whilst SAGE CRM was selected around 10 years ago and we became a partner, the main contenders would have been at the time Sales Logix and MS CRM 4.0. However, we had extensive experience of the mid-market CRM's and decided on SAGE CRM since it had a clean, easy to understand …
Chose Sage CRM
I believe that Sage CRM is superior to Salesforce, having worked with both I found Salesforce tedious to work with, not very logical set up and key information was hard to find. I know that people that have not had the pleasure of working with Sage CRM were satisfied with …
Chose Sage CRM
I've not evaluated any other products and this system was in place long before I came on board. I will say I've used other systems in the past and this system is user friendly, easy to learn, well laid out, functional, and very rarely goes down or experiences technical issues. …
Chose Sage CRM
We are a partner that implements most of the mainstream CRM products in the marketplace and Sage CRM is a great fit because of the low cost to deploy, the ease of setting up and rolling out the technology, and the continued improvements and enhancements through Sage Software to …
Chose Sage CRM
Microsoft CRM has much better integration with MS Office (as expected). Salesforce has much better remote access and mobile device access.
Chose Sage CRM
Cannot comment on this because I have not used any other CRM program.
Chose Sage CRM
I have evaluated and implemented MS Dynamics CRM from a business perspective, and more recently Salesforce.com CRM as an administarator. Sage was more intuitive than Salesforce, and also less expensice than both of them. At that time, I used Sage CRM because the company I was …
Chose Sage CRM
The CRM integrates better but all talk to ERP systems in some way. Depends on customer needs here.
Chose Sage CRM
GoldMine, ACT!, MSCRM, Saleslogix, Sugar CRM, Salesforce.com
Sage CRM is stronger or equal to each. The depth that is available out of the box is excellent, and though configuration is almost necessary, it makes the product extremely powerful. Many clients rely on the …
Chose Sage CRM
Because of the better pipeline resolution
Chose Sage CRM
The ease of use for our many different types of users makes it an easy choice for me and hopefully for the other employees I have recommended it to. I have seen the results as compared to other platforms and in my experience, it is far superior and easier to work with.

Likelihood to Recommend
The sales team uses constantly all the sharing features. We share Collections and share individual assets as well to our distributors. They consume our catalogs, price guides, delivery timeline schedules, and much more. For every content, I know the granular level of consumption that is occurring. I no longer have to make any guesses based on content. I am able to schedule follow-ups based on real time content.

Pros
  • Paperflite simplifies storing content in a single repository, giving content structure within an organization. By creating streams you are able to segregate content based on the content structure your organization has planned out.
  • Oftentimes the content created by marketing is not used by sales for lack of discoverability/finding of content. With Paperflite every asset is easily discoverable by a simple search feature. Paperflite does an in-content search as well, giving in-depth results and ensuring no asset is left unseen

  • Sage CRM is very intuitive and easy to use. The benefit to organizations using this system is that users will find executing daily tasks seamless and accessing historical information easily while selling or servicing customers and prospects.
  • The dashboards and reporting are extensive at both a global and a client level. In addition, these reports and dashboards are available through any interface (smartphone, tablet, browser). This makes accessing real time information in a meaningful way available to users easy through any device wherever the user is located.
  • Escalations and workflow are also very powerful. Sage CRM uniquely provides the ability for users to execute workflow from within the context of the dashboards. What this means is that every day tasks can be executed quickly without lots of time searching through client records.

Cons
  • Nothing to mention, at this point but sometimes it takes a little more time to add assets to a collection. Not too sure if it's the internet connection or just a glitch on the website.
  • What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The analytics feature has helped me understand how my content is performing and make changes to it accordingly. The ability to create a personalized content experience for each of my prospects makes it even more better.

  • Reliance on Apache Tomcat causes a lot of headaches. There are common issues trying to start up the server, resulting from Apache Tomcat misconfigurations, or Java. Some forum posts on Sage City address common issues, but digging into server logs seems to be an often occurrence.
  • Support is somewhat lacking, less user install base means error messages are sometimes hard to find quick answers for. Most of the knowledge found on the internet is in the Sage City forum.
  • Integration with Microsoft 365 causes you to have to turn off some security features. This will result in your 365 tenants running lower security standards than recommended, it may put you at risk for targeted attacks.

There are really no other words to say, it is a very easy to use application that is more straightforward and has provided better results with the bulk of features that appeal to a very broad amount of users. There may be other CRM platforms out there that are more prevalent, but I have found them to be much more clunky and less intuitive than Sage CRM.

Excellent integration with the most important social networks (LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter) to get leads. The mobile app is quite useful for speeding up the tasks at hand and not relying on the computer or being in the office to get them done.

Performance
No answers on this topic
Sage works very quickly based on the network you are using it on. It is internet based so if your network is slow, it will perform slowly. Reports seem to run reasonably fast, if there is too much information it is trying to populate that could slow it down a little. When Sage CRM is integrated with a Sage ERP product it doesn't tend to slow down either system at all

Have been very prompt in their responses. They know the product extremely well to respond precisely to the posted queries. Not just that, they are extremely proactive in providing quality suggestions and teach ways to improve the overall user experience when using the product. You give them your problem statement, and they'll come up with innovative ways to address it.
