    Shared Contacts for Gmail
    Shared Contacts for Gmail is well suited for organizations that generate and coordinate long term partnerships and that have a big remote working component as a main form or working. It is less appropriate with organizations dedicated to sales and performance based ways of working. I would recommend it for medium size organizations.

    Pros
    Shared Contacts for Gmail
    • Helps manage contact lists and distribution lists.
    • Eliminates the need for the use of an additional platform, like a CRM, to manage contacts.
    • Makes it easier to share contacts with a targeted audience with the flexibility to be selective about who the data is being shared with.

    Cons
    Shared Contacts for Gmail
    • I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
    • My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

    Usability
    Shared Contacts for Gmail
    Very easy to use. Mostly related to the design of the program, but also due to the layout. I find it easy to find what I am looking for. As noted in earlier comments, greater implementation of AI would probably make the program even easier to use, as sometimes finding certain functions is not entirely transparent.

    Shared Contacts for Gmail
    My company used Zendesk Sell for a while, but the profiles weren't as manageable and easy accessed as Shared Contacts [for Gmail.] It resulted easier to update the contact information within Shared Contacts [for Gmail] and maintain the contact flow, than updating in Zendesk, and then manually go into gmail and continue the conversation. As well we don't use Shared Contacts [for Gmail] alone. We do accompany it with an internal operations system, were we manage the clients profile, but the combination between the two is perfect.
