CRM is used by the Business Development Department. It does not address any business problems.
  • Reporting
  • Import emails via Outlook
  • Database
Cons
  • Pipeline
  • Rapidity
Some things to consider are: Do you manage a lot of client accounts? Do you have a large customer service team?

We use Sage CRM across our entire organization. In sales department it assist us in opportunities and lead management.

In our accounting department we use it in collections or receivables tracking not to mention how easy it makes it for us in turning quotes to invoices easily accommodating the tax element.

In customer service they use the software in logging and tracking customer related issues.

The marketing department also uses the software to maintain our clients database.
  • Workflow. CRM has assisted us in ensuring workflow around our key business processes.
  • Reporting and dashboard. CRM has great reporting and dashboard capabilities that allow you to visualize key business performance parameters efficiently and quickly.
  • Integration with other software. CRM integrates well with other sales and accounting applications which ensures the ability to store data in one place.
  • Integration to accounts and sales departments.
  • The software allows sales and accounts department to exchange data with ease making people in sales view accounts data and vice versa.
Cons
  • Improve on screen interface, currently there is so much screening.
  • There is great integration with other cloud versions, but tool for improvement is still there.
Sage CRM is well suited for organizations already using other Sage products.
For us, CRM has been a good software to use but I always recommend you ask [about] the ability to integrate with other softwares being used in your organization.
The product is easy to use and easy to install. The product is good for medium sized companies.

We use Sage CRM as our central repository for all customers we deal with in our company. As of now it contains around 9,000 customers. All leads and eventually opportunities are found and worked on.

We also use add-ons such as knowledgesync to hook into the CRM and generate reports for things such as new leads and tasks. It is mostly used by the sales and management team.
  • Rather high amount of customization when it comes to allowing your own custom fields on each screen.
  • Search/Find function is rather quick and breaks down by categories (person, company, leads, opportunities, etc).
  • Not very resource intensive when it comes to size and memory usage/sql.
  • Easy to visually see all past and current opportunities and their statuses.
Cons
  • Can only have one primary contact attached to each company. This causes quite a few issues when many of the companies we deal with have multiple primary contacts that need to be reached out to.
  • Report building is lacking and the interface to do so could use work. Better off building custom Crystal Reports than using what they provide.
  • Minor issue but no "copy" when making new users. Have to set up all the roles/permissions/settings individually.
Only having one primary contact can cause issues for companies who are more specialized and custom. We deal with many people throughout the company so this can cause issues on trying to figure out who to contact. Creating advanced custom screens are also rather complicated and many times would require outside work to complete.

For retail it is much more simplistic and easy to use. Storing all customer information along with communication info is simple.

It is being used for internal management of sales, opportunities, and leads.
  • Opportunities and lead tracking and reporting
  • Communications hub of information all employees can access to create sales, orders, and follow ups to more sales
  • Additional access to the SAGE ERP entry and inquiry functions
Cons
  • SAGE ERP access should stay for orders and inquire. Sales and CRM go hand in hand not a data entry tool.
  • Better connections with email suppliers and easier processes to send information back and forth to leads.
  • Make the enter key the same as action on the screen, setups simpler for users. Make training material for users more accessible.
If the product is presented with SAGE ERP and a shipping solution, price shopping on shipping costs. For customers, complete purchase price is needed for any retail store fronts and those that ship goods from phone orders.

Diverse Consultant's Review of SageCRM Implementation

Sage CRM was used strictly as a CRM solution for many of the clients that I consulted with. So, basically it was used for customer data collection and marketing campaign management especially with email circulation. The product modules were also used heavily for the smaller business clients. I mostly worked with smaller businesses with Sage CRM. They also had Accpac implemented as well.
  • Great value for what Sage CRM provides.
  • It provides either onpremise or cloud based options which is still important with some clients.
  • It links with ERP solutions that the client may already have especially other Sage products.
Cons
  • When compared to other products such as Salesforce it doesn't compare.
  • Sage CRM doesn't have the extensive app store that other CRM products have.
  • Implementing the on-premise version can be difficult depending on the host database.
I think Sage CRM is suited very well for veteran customers of other Sage products. It is a great value for smaller businesses as opposed to other CRM products out on the market. It is very easy to use which is also something that makes it stand out amongst its competitors.
