Soffront CRM vs. Veeva CRM

Lead generation and follow-up with sales are well suited. Social media integration and reporting/dashboards for insights can be improved.

Good for larger teams with a lot of activities and therefore a good justification for the investment. Great for 'as above' + the companies looking to integrate Veeva CRM with other Veeva offerings, such as Align, Inslight, Zinc/PromoMats etc. Not so great for smaller organisations or those with more slightly more restricting budgets.

• The email marketing platform is wonderful. It allows for tracking and you can do AB testing with it as well.
• Landing page and form placement with other companies have also been easy. Regardless of website or landing page that you use the forms integrate and you get an email notification whenever a new lead is added to the database.
• The overall layout of the CRM is also nice to use. You can open up different tabs with information on and then go back to a previous tab without having to use the browser controls. It makes navigating and comparing information very easy to do.

Soffront performs many of the same functions as both of these providers but it offers a great deal more all in one place. I do not have to log into different programs or switch programs to get the information that I need. This has greatly increased efficiency. The pricing for Soffront is also better when you add in the other features that it comes with, in fact it saved me money when I switched.

As Veeva CRM is built on Salesforce' platform, both solutions have rather similar look, feel and offered set of functionalities. Veeva CRM is geared up specifically for the pharmaceutical industry - to my understanding, there is an agreement between the companies, preventing Salesforce.com from stepping into the pharma market. So if you are familiar with the Salesforce.com experience - from the solution to their implementation, training and support approaches - you can expect similar from Veeva (CRM).
