    Pipedrive Inc.
    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.

    I could not begin to think of a situation where marketing
    automation is not appropriate, particularly for small and medium-sized
    businesses that often times are challenged with fewer resources. Lead
    generation, customer acquisition, conversion, and reselling all require the
    consistency and fluidity that marketing automation can provide. For Capitol
    Corridor, we are limited by the capacity of our trains, so we cannot oversell. By
    doing so, we would lose business. And we’ve leveraged marketing automation to
    help us manage our train capacity as well as create transparency in our service
    available to help close deals successfully.

    Pros
    Pipedrive Inc.
    • 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
    Pipedrive Inc.
    • 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.

    • Some of the field mappings between Leads and Deals are not always perfect.
    • Social media interactions are not captured (i.e. you cannot make a case from a post)

    Pipedrive Inc.
    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.

    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.

    Pipedrive Inc.
    • 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.
