Currently only one using it, I have a unique role in that I handle all add-hoc negotiations and for this I need a reliable database CRM to be able to track my interaction and follow up points. Critical for me is to have a logical flow of communication and to be able to act on discussions.
  • Layout, it is very easy to see the whole picture
  • Workflow, not only for individual contacts, but on the aggregate too, where in the pipeline are we with everything
  • Timeline in communication, critical in negotiations.
Cons
  • Make it easier to link related contacts
  • Dialing function, so that software dials the number and automatically records date and time of call
  • Interact with Thunderbird mail.
It all depends on the type of organization, what one is wanting to track and the knowledge one has with CRM in general. Compared to Salesforce, e.g., Sage CRM has a much easier and logical layout, the overview is much better and it is easier to learn. I cannot speak about capabilities in total, but for my purposes Sage CRM rules.

CRM needs work in a support call logging use

I use Sage CRM for support call logging at CBS Inc. and I find it to be slow at times and inaccurate when using the insert note function. Sometimes it will log me out at random. Sage CRM is not very stable when [I am] using it for fast paced support call logging.
  • Integration into accounting
  • Custom workflow
  • Custom dashboards
Cons
  • Integration into Confluence
  • Integration into HipChat
  • Statistic reporting
Sage CRM is well suited for sales leads but not as well suited for a support call logging.

Ease of use makes Sage CRM a smart choice.

We have prospective and current customers throughout the world and Sage CRM allows us to instantly see their relevant contact information, we track how frequently we contact them, what they have previously purchased and how interested they are in furthering their business with us in the future. The interface is very straightforward to pick up and use on a daily basis from our more novice users to the more advanced. It is used primarily in the sales and marketing divisions at our company.
  • Tracking customer interaction
  • Looking up all contact information about a customer
  • Keeping track of a user's sales funnel
Cons
  • Lack of social media integration
  • Smaller feature sets limit some of the application usage for smaller companies
After using three of four of the top CRM platforms, I look for ease of use first and foremost. I see so many remote users who simply cannot or will not use a product due to it being too complicated to enter in every touchpoint or request for information or even customer contact information because its too slow, too many clicks, whatever. Sage CRM does a fine job in that area and is one of the reasons I enjoy using it more than other CRM platforms.

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.

Honest Sage CRM Critique from a Seasoned CRM Expert

We sell and implement Sage CRM to help organizations manage any customer facing and operational goals as it relates to the execution of marketing, sales and service job functions. In helping those organizations we have found that Sage CRM can be an excellent tool not just to provide infrastructure for meeting company goals but to help with the execution of process execution as well. Well over half of our Sage CRM customers are using the tool in all facets of their business and most of those organizations have also found benefit from integrating other technologies to manage their customer experiences and provide meaningful customer engagements. Integration includes marketing automation, ERP and order fulfillment as well as project management and billing systems.
  • Sage CRM is very intuitive and easy to use. The benefit to organizations using this system is that users will find executing daily tasks seamless and accessing historical information easily while selling or servicing customers and prospects.
  • The dashboards and reporting are extensive at both a global and a client level. In addition, these reports and dashboards are available through any interface (smartphone, tablet, browser). This makes accessing real time information in a meaningful way available to users easy through any device wherever the user is located.
  • Escalations and workflow are also very powerful. Sage CRM uniquely provides the ability for users to execute workflow from within the context of the dashboards. What this means is that every day tasks can be executed quickly without lots of time searching through client records.
Cons
  • One of the areas that Sage CRM is different is the way that Appointments and Tasks are delivered to the user in the interface. This presents a challenge in the way that most people utilize a Calendar in their daily execution. Many companies want to see a color coded Calendar for multiple team members and this is provided through a 3rd party.
  • Executing workflow through the mobile device is another area that users have requested. With such a strong workflow and escalation engine extending to the mobile interface would be groundbreaking in the CRM industry.
  • The data loading tools also need some work. In today's world we often extend the platform for unique entities and today we use 3rd party tools for any data migration besides basic customer and contact information.
Sage CRM is well suited horizontally across the business marketplace. The product is easy to install, works across all browsers and mobile devices, and is easily configurable and customizable in a way that is upgrade safe. In particular, Sage CRM is a great system for emerging businesses that are growing quickly as the system can be configured quickly for a team of people and scales to hundreds of users easily. Lastly, Sage CRM integrates quite well with other systems and there are many examples of significant ERP integration (especially Sage ERP products) that would be costly using other CRM technologies.
