Pipeline CRM vs. Talisma Social CRM

If you have a small business where you are trying to keep things simple, then PipelineDeals is a perfect fit. Once you get to where you are wanting to tie your marketing efforts and create marketing campaigns that are tied to leads, it starts to miss the mark

If your company has a lot of data and needs a way to parse through it on a regular basis, Talisma is the software for you. If you want an easy to use system that has pretty graphics and a great user interface, look at other tools to see if you can find a better one.

• I wouldn't say no areas for improvement exist, but I will say that PipelineDeals takes customer input, shared product roadmap, and supports what they have very nicely. What they provide works out-of-the-box. Improvements can always be made with respect to pre-packaged integration with 3rd party services/solutions, and with extended attributes, but you also want to avoid something that attempts to boil the ocean.

• Not easy to use.
• Takes a lot of time to understand the basics.

If we can integrate and easily export and clean all of our data such that it can be used for multiple purposes, i.e. outreach to guests, sending out newsletters to subscribers, doing research and tracking progress, we will definitely renew

The cost is much better and it is much easier to use. Salesforce was way too robust and I never want to hire a consultant to set up a CRM. PipelineDeals CRM has the best visibility of our sales efforts.

Talisma is a little behind the times compared to the other competition on the market. It has most of the tools to be successful, but it takes some deep diving into the software to figure out exactly how to use each of these tools to get the job done on a daily basis.
