    I would recommend this for businesses that have the time to invest in doing things the right way. Garbage in equals garbage out. If you can get over the somewhat steep learning curve and adopting their process this product would be a good fit. If you are short on time (and maybe cash) you may want to look for a simpler and less expensive solution.

    It works because it's the only thing we have to use however Reynolds does not work well with others, I.E., third-party vendors, etc. When it's up for renewal I will strongly suggest we switch

    Cons
    PlanPlusOnline
    • When it came time to move on due to larger issues the friendliness was not there from the account reps. We did not leave due to them, but due to our growth and need for more.
    • The inability to make personalized the labels for our insurance terms.

    It's great once you get the hang of it. I feel like it could be cleaned up a little. Some elements could be moved around or hidden. Overall it's a solid UI

    There are some cases where we just need something simple to get the job done. In our case, we needed a solution with a lot features for our complex setup. A lot of CRMs fell short. PlanPlus Online didn't. They had everything we needed. We didn't have to rely on multiple disparate solutions, and it was within our budget.

    • Slows people down trying to learn it
    • Every option in there costs more money so the executives do not want to pay for things such as click to call
