Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM) is a CRM that aims to give reps access to integrated tools that provide the full context of a customer account. This keeps them in the loop and allows them to capitalize on opportunities. Zendesk Sell can be extended with Reach, a lead generation and engagement tool that automates the process of finding and keeping leads interested, so reps can focus more on building relationships and crushing their quotas. Base CRM was founded in 2009, and acquired by Zendesk…

Considered Both Products
Vtiger
Chose Vtiger
It's not complicated and very easily to use compared to the CRM I used from my former company. There not too much to click just to finish the tasks. Easy to generate data for reporting.
Chose Vtiger
The selection of Vtiger as CRM wasn't on my hands. The decision was made before I arrived to the company. Nevertheless, I know that the pricing was one of the main reasons and the overall performance of Vtiger. It was feature on the top of Gartner's Magic Quadrant. And the …
Chose Vtiger
Synaptica is mainly for taxonomy, but it stores our product attribution as well, just like Vtiger. Vtiger is a more robust software, and stores product data beyond selling attributes. At our organization size, we like a program like Vtiger because it's more broad with more …
Chose Vtiger
VTiger had better overall cost and native capabilities that other solutions lacked. We used Nutshell CRM for over a year. It was a very efficient contact management system, but it seemed that if we needed to do anything but record contacts, we had to use an add-on. We spent a …
Chose Vtiger
Just being a user of Vtiger since I got hired at GB Advisors. Used those solutions on previous experiences, Microsoft Dynamics was deployed in my previous job for opportunity management, it was not so friendly as Vtiger, not sure if it was a bad deployment. Salesforce was used …
Chose Vtiger
SugarCRM is a very powerful CRM let down by a complex UI which means that most organizations would have trouble self-managing the database. leading to a high cost of ownership.
MailChimp is a great email marketing tool for databases below 2000 contacts as that is the point at …
Chose Vtiger
I have used MS Excel to manage such kind of operations but during reporting I faced lots of difficulties. Where in Vtiger CRM I got the most advantage out of MS Excel. It has a dynamic communication history system and a real time activity log where I can track the real time …
Chose Vtiger
The selection of vTiger was done by my management team to be able to see invoicing status in Quickbooks. Unfortunately, this feature has never worked but I think this might be a problem on our end, not a vTiger issue. We looked at Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, and ACT before making …
Zendesk Sell
Chose Zendesk Sell
The contact management system is better and the association between contacts and deals is a big improvement. Tracking emails in addition to notes is an improvement.
Chose Zendesk Sell
I am currently using Hubspot, which we upgraded to from Zendesk Sell.

I used SalesForce many years ago, but too long ago to comment on any current functionality.
Chose Zendesk Sell
We moved away from the platform above because integrations and reporting through Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM) are far better. Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM) is definitely a more modern approach to our ever-changing company. We needed a system that provided accurate and …
Chose Zendesk Sell
Simpler than most CRMs, which can be good if your sales team is not very tech savvy. We switched to Hubspot which provides a lot more value than Base did, but it isn't right for everyone. Hubspot is focused on capturing in-bound leads and has its own flaws and limitations, but …
Chose Zendesk Sell
Zendesk Sell is not as robust as other leading CRM tools I have used in the past like Salesforce. Salesforce is the market leader and is always leading the way in innovation. Salesforce objects management is better simpler and allows the user to customize different screens and …
Chose Zendesk Sell
It does everything salesforce was doing only easier and the mobile app was much better and cheaper. I have been able to both run a sales team and do the sysadmin and setup work on base as a sales manager.
Chose Zendesk Sell
Much more efficient and cleaner interface allows quicker and simpler contact/pipeline management for all members of staff regardless of seniority.

Additionally, it's a much simpler platform designed for sales compared to more traditional CRMs.
Chose Zendesk Sell
Let's face it, there's a lot of competition in the market of CRM systems. From Salesforce, Hubspot, and Zoho, which offer other modules that integrate other elements of the business into the CRM, to options like Sharpspring, CampaignerCRM, and SugarCRM that integrates marketing …
Chose Zendesk Sell
Much easier to use! It's more updated, more modern. It feels like using a Mac Laptop as opposed to using an IBM that runs Microsoft Office 1997.

The integration and windows for emails and tasks is much easier to use. Notes is something that anyone on the team can jump on and …
Chose Zendesk Sell
I have used Base CRM for 3 years now and I haven't looked back. Compared to Salesforce, Base is significantly more functional and intuitive.
Chose Zendesk Sell
Base CRM is great for beginners, or small sales forces. API/integrations need help. As a CRM it works just fine, but could use some improvement, and backing. A lot of Base CRM users are great help, but there needs to be a more robust back end to help your customers implement …

Vtiger has evolved in the interfaces design. You can access all required data from one screen, similar to a control data. You have also sales and support dashboards predefined, but you can create your own. As less appropriate the templates design, it has not evolved from old versions of Vtiger.

I think that for a company that creates any sales and needs to house their client information, the Base is perfect. The price of the program makes it completely worth the investment. And to be able to use customizations makes it possible for any business that does sales use Base for their orders. I would say for companies that use legal contracts or binding contracts for their business, Base may be too simple for their needs. We work in tandem with a company that always has contracts going back and forth, and the build out of the customizations here weren't really going to work for them.

Pros
  • I love reporting. I can build a custom report using all or any of the dimensions of my choice. This is great when other programs often limit this ability.
  • I like that is a source of truth across the organization. We can all go in and see the same thing.
  • This also works for communication with our teams in other countries. We are a global organization.

  • Integrates well with FullContact, Slack via Zapier, and Gmail and google calendar.
  • Excellent mobile app for iPhone lets salespeople have data at their fingertips and enter notes at conferences, in elevators, wherever.
  • Does all the basic things a salesperson needs to be productive, contacts capture, deal capture, documents, smart linking of contacts to deals, and nice reminder features.

Cons
  • Although Vtiger integrates well with email, like most CRM systems it assumes that you have one email system and therefore it is less suitable for use cases where multiple email systems need to be supported.
  • Although Vtiger supports Twitter it does not support other social media systems in the same way. You can tailor the system to hold the URLs of your contacts' social media profiles but if SM is a big thing for your organization then there are better systems available.

  • There was no ability to add prospects from a company domain or email to auto-fill any data.
  • You had to type in all of the data you gathered about that prospect.
  • The default only gave you two phone numbers for the company, too few.

The integration with the other Zendesk products is key. Allows other people in the company, such as support, to be involved in the sales process.

Usability
In the Last versions they have done a strong effort in creating a powerful data screen. Inside the screen you have access to signing, communications with multiple tools integration and connections with all modules related. With a single view you have all control over your data relations. It is similar to a control managing.

I received about two hours worth of training on Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM). I will say it's a clean look and the ability to change views is extremely helpful. I do wish there were other features that allowed the views to be more simplistic. Some views can be overwhelming to look at. Nevertheless with the minimum training, I am still able to navigate through Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM) successfully due to the ease of usability.

there is not much problem in using CRM. There were times it was lagging or bugging, but later on it will be fixed and I can use it again.

Due to the ease of the product, I have not had the chance to reach out to support yet. I’ve had no reason. The resources provided to clients are extremely helpful and detailed. So far my questions have been pretty basic and I generally just ask my colleague or teammate. They're able to assist with the answer.

This product has a great backing of users, but needs more options direct from Base CRM on all operations of the software. YouTube videos do a great job of helping implement, and the back end support is a great help as well. The CRM is a great free option, and should be treated as such.

Zendesk Sell is not as robust as other leading CRM tools I have used in the past like Salesforce. Salesforce is the market leader and is always leading the way in innovation. Salesforce objects management is better simpler and allows the user to customize different screens and have different dashboards for reporting reasons. This is definitely a good alternative to Salesforce especially if you are currently using any other Zendesk products like Zendesk support.
