Copper is a CRM for businesses that need to manage more leads & grow customer relationships — but don't have time for data entry, repetitive admin tasks, or complicated tools.

Copper integrates with Google Workspace, so it logs emails and other interactions to the right contact automatically.

Highlights:

Google Workspace integration: Copper works with Gmail, Calendar and Drive so users don't have to switch tabs to add leads, track emails conversations, add files and manage tasks.

Copper has helped me extensively keep track of not only my own but my company's workflow. With so many projects and quotes to track, it has become essential to keep me on task and not miss any of our goals. It has been a perfect fit with our specific workflow, but I don't think it has the customizability just yet to be a perfect fit for every company out there.

Honestly, I think Copper is a great CRM for any startup. They're small enough to where they are very accommodating to their clients but large enough to have a ton of integrations with other business tools that a company may use. The toughest thing with Copper is when your business model may not revolve around a set Value derived from each customer. If your company doesn't view a sale/client as set dollar amount, a lot of the features, KPIs, etc. become essentially useless.

It is very easy to use to enter client information and opportunities, as well as follow-up tasks. I use the program every day to set myself up with a client follow-up list on a specific day each week when I either call a client, follow up on an opportunity, or simply schedule a service for them.

Copper is well suited for companies that really need to keep an up to date calendar, keep all of their clients and contacts in one space, and to make sure you do not miss any important calls, meetings, or any type of client interaction. So far, I do not have a scenario where Copper hasn't worked for me.

Positives for [Copper (formerly ProsperWorks)]:
-G Suite Compatibility: An industry problem Copper CRM is focused on solving is the lack of integration with current software systems like G Suite. Copper CRM is fully compatible with G Suite, and it is the only sales automation solution endorsed by Google.
-Copper CRM is focused on the time-to-value ratio. It aims to provide the maximum value possible while limiting the time it takes for its users to input data manually. Some of its features include workflow and task automation for users who sign up for the two higher tiers.
-Simplicity: Copper CRM is designed to be simple. The software has a handy sidebar where users can search for tasks, tracked emails, opportunities, and companies. A link to contact the Support team is also included. If users have issues, they can simply reach out to this team.
-Quick Onboarding: Setting up or switching to Copper is a quick and painless experience. Copper focuses on getting new users set up within days, not weeks or months like some of its competitors.

Negatives:
-Lack of Features: The biggest drawback of Copper CRM is the lack of features it provides its users. It is designed for simplicity. Therefore, it is missing many of the advanced features offered by its competitors. For example, it doesn’t offer users a dedicated account manager, and click-to-call requires third-party software.
-Lack of Flexibility Outside G Suite

Copper was honestly a good CRM solution that provided a relatively advanced feature set packaged in an easy to use UI. I honestly would have recommended it to many people had I not had such a terrible experience when canceling and considered using it again in the future. But their TERRIBLE customer service and DECEPTIVE cancellation policy make me unable to recommend working with this company at any time for any reason. Consider Hubspot, Pipedrive, or Insightly instead.

Copper is well suited for sales or donor prospect information and activity. I'm not sure how well it works with multiple users in the same company with the ability of supervisors to monitor activity by individual users. If one is merely looking for contacts storage this product would be overkill. I find Copper adequate for my project management purposes. My guess is that there are other programs dedicated solely to project management that might provide better workflow, etc.

Copper is INCREDIBLE for small organizations that I have found. I can't speak for the enterprise, unfortunately. Companies that are pulling their hair out trying to get sales reps to FILL in information is a key selling point here, at least for us. Using Google's Suite e.g. Gmail made switching to Copper really a no-brainer for us. Crazy as it sounds, using Copper is really fun and easy as a sales rep because it is already there inside of Gmail, making adding leads, creating opportunities just a breeze and really updating any number of accounts that you need to. It is a challenge when working with 3rd party apps like Outreach that have a slide-out bar on the right or wanting to use tasks and the side features in Gmail.

A specific scenario where Copper is well suited is when I receive emails from people in Gmail. Copper makes it extremely simple to add them as a new contact to my address book, and then also sync that new contact with my Google address book. I haven't run into a scenario where it's less appropriate to use Copper.

Copper is well suited for keeping track of sales reporting, being able to track by pipelines, sales member, and weighted probability reports. At a high level, Copper has a solid UI/UX and is a simple CRM solution.

If you are looking for a more robust CRM system to automate opportunities and automatically move opportunities through your pipeline, then Copper is not the solution for you. Their automated work flows is quited limited.

Copper is great if you need a very basic CRM and don’t plan to do anything too complex. Saving people’s information and follow up reminders/tasks are really what it’s good for. If you want an actual helpful CRM that’s super user-friendly, this isn’t it.

Copper is the perfect CRM for businesses and organizations that use G-Suite. It integrates seamlessly with Google products and makes data entry a thing of the past. With a simple click, you can import leads from your Gmail conversations or import a prebuilt list in a matter of minutes. Copper is truly customizable and is very easy to make the CRM work for you. It is very easy to create custom fields, manage leads, people and opportunities, and run reports on user activity, pipelines, and more. I think Copper is less appropriate for organizations that may need very complex CRM environments and do not leverage Gmail or G-suite products. Copper is the CRM for Google users.

Prosperworks is 100% best used if you are a G Suite customer. In my opinion, if you use G Suite as a company then you should use Prosperworks as your CRM. The only exception to that is if you have other programs that heavily tie into reporting features of SFDC. However if you're just looking for a solid CRM to track all your notes, activity, collaborate with your team, and run activity reports - ProsperWorks is a pleasure to use and will not disappoint.

ProsperWorks CRM is good if you want a lightweight solution to give you insight into your current sales that integrates completely with Google Apps and Gmail. You'll need to invest in something more robust like a Salesforce if you want lots of integrations, better analytics/reporting and more complicated work/user flows in your CRM.

It is great for small businesses that use Google Apps. If you are using Google Apps you should give ProsperWorks CRM a look. It is very powerful and with its ability to track emails and conversation it will help with client retention, especially if you have a sales or support individual leave the company.

I can't speak to less suited for, but we ventured into using it as a real estate office slightly blind. It took as a while to set it up the way we wanted it. It offers more flexibility than a RE specific program ie. top producer, wiseagent and it works directly with google and gmail

It's great for really small teams that don't have a legacy process to follow, especially if you are using Google Apps. For that type of company, there will not be much of a learning curve and the product will have the key features your small team needs. While it's quite pricey for what you currently get, I hear there's a lot of development going into the product.
