SharpSpring from Constant Contact is more streamlined (and cost-effective), especially for smaller businesses that don't need all the complexity and confusion of bigger options like Salesforce.
I found SharpSpring to be the easiest CRM to use. On a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the easiest to learn and use, I'd give Salesforce a 1, SharpSpring a 5 and the others fall in between. It's customizable, it's easy to update leads, and most of all there are no quirky error …
SharpSpring has way more robust marketing automation features. The only plus for Salesforce is the ability to run a report for conversations had this week and make it easy to pull up those advertiser cards. SharpSpring has a big advantage over Salesforce as far as persona …
From my research, SharpSpring has every functionality that is needed to effectively deliver omnichannel sales and marketing solutions for most businesses. It is ahead of the market in terms of dynamic personalisation, automation, and retargeting. In terms of value for money, it …
I believe SharpSpring stacks up against Salesforce and HubSpot quite well and beats the price of them significantly. I am would definitely recommend anyone familiar with these sales and marketing automation platforms to give SharpSpring a try. I believe you will be quite …
SharpSpring has in some way more features than the top 5 solutions, but it's way easier to use, not to mention the price. SharpSpring is almost a tenth of the price and is a monthly-based payment solution. Every other star destroyer promisess a lot of features but you need to …
While I wasn't around when SharpSpring was chosen, I've worked with Salesforce for a number of years as well as various proprietary CRM services at other companies. While not as powerful as Salesforce in terms of capability/reporting/analytics, SharpSpring certainly brings a …
I find it more effective than Salesforce. Better reporting and more detailed data capturing. Also the ability to launch marketing campaigns and follow up. The reporting and emailing capability has been extremely effective.
SharpSpring is superior in price and marketing capability. Hubspot is more user friendly, though when it comes to CRM ability. However, with SharpSpring's ability to have multiple marketing e-mail campaigns going at once, tracking all of that, and being as affordable as they …
SharpSpring is comparable to Insightly, Pipedrive[,] and Zoho Assist. I'm giving the edge to SharpSpring because it's what I'm using now, it's easy to use and I like the layout, and it's easy to move leads through the sales process as well as set tasks and reminders. I much …
There are 2 tiers of marketing automation software. Highly customizable, feature rich enterprise applications, and out of the box simpler solutions for smaller businesses. SharpSpring is unique in that is offers enterprise feature sets at the small business price point.
I've selected SharpSpring because they have a more complete platform with marketing automation, social media integration, a lot of API integrations and finishing with a great sales CRM solution. All others softwares that we have at our disposal right now have only some features …
Salesforce was a lot more expensive than SharpSpring and they didn't give us the ability to white label clients. We were looking for a CRM system and we found that SharpSpring had a lot of integrations and features that are all in one. Their customer service was a lot better …
Lower cost - higher-value solution with a focus on marketing automation with core CRM capabilities. It is a simpler solution because it focuses on the essentials. They have several features that exceed the competition. Their visualizations and Ux around workflow automation, …
I think SharpSpring is overall a better option, especially for mid-size businesses. The platform is much less costly than Salesforce and depending on your contact list, can be less costly than HubSpot as well. The features are great and it allows you to grow with it as your …

Far better user interface and support team. It seems like those who have used both see the two as night and day. SharpSpring seems like it's the future, especially since it's not built on "old bones."

Chose Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM
Salesforce would have been a stronger CRM, perhaps. But they required the purchase of Pardot before they could provide the marketing intelligence tools we needed, and Pardot is expensive. In the end, we needed strong, scalable marketing intelligence and enough CRM capability to …
I've personally used HubSpot and Salesforce in the past. While I liked the other platforms, there were almost too many features available and that made it easy to get lost on the platforms. Salesforce, of course, is a monster of a platform that sometimes feels like you need a …
SharpSpring offers nearly all the features that the competitors do at a fraction of the price. Also, SharpSpring is far more economical than any of the competitors. However, even if price was no object, SharpSpring is more user-friendly, has a more logical interface, and has …
I wasn't involved in the decision to choose [Salesforce.com] but I know that in at least one of the organizations I worked in that chose it, the analytics and reporting functionality it provides a large sales organization are second to none. It also allows for a wide variety …
