Act! CRM has been used by businesses and non-profit organizations for over 20 years, functioning as a reliable CRM system to track prospects, activities, and milestones across the entire organization. With its integration capabilities, Act! CRM seamlessly integrates with Sage Quantum, allowing for efficient management of the sales prospecting process and integration with the Sales Invoicing Customer module.

Act! CRM serves as a valuable tool for managing business and marketing activities, keeping communications organized between the company and potential and existing patrons, vendors, and colleagues. It acts as a repository of history, enabling users to refer to past events and interactions. This software is particularly useful in direct mail marketing and lead generation initiatives, utilizing Swiftpage Connect for email marketing. With its user-friendly interface and available templates for auto mailers, Act! CRM makes it easy to streamline sales development and current client processes. The convenience of mobile applications further enhances productivity by allowing business tasks to be managed on the go.

Act! CRM is widely adopted by sales and marketing teams alike. Marketing teams find value in using Act! CRM for mailing lists, while the software's ability to track activities of outside sales reps effectively manages day-to-day business operations.

CRM is especially beneficial in industries such as insurance, where it facilitates sending targeted emails to agents with information about senior health insurance products.

Moreover, Act! CRM features robust contact management capabilities that allow users to capture details of customers and prospects. It empowers businesses by enabling them to manage contacts effectively, group them by customer type or other criteria, and maintain ongoing notes and updated documents. Additionally, Act! CRM facilitates contact segmentation based on company affiliation, membership status, and participation in committees or work groups. This makes it an invaluable tool for managing communications with various stakeholders such as membership organizations, allied industries, government entities, and product users. The integration with SwiftPage email marketing solution further enhances Act! CRM's functionality by providing lead call lists and integration with surveys and databases.

By leveraging Act! CRM, organizations can track metrics, generate meaningful reports, and make data-driven decisions. With its web-based version allowing multiple users to sign in simultaneously, Act! CRM fosters collaboration by enabling teams to update records and add notes in real-time.

Outdated Interface: Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the dated interface of ACT CRM, stating that it is not as easy to use compared to newer products.

Limited Social Media Marketing Capabilities: Several reviewers have mentioned that the software lacks strong social media marketing capabilities, which can be a drawback for businesses looking to effectively engage with their audience on various platforms.

Issues with Email Campaigns and EMarketing: Users have reported experiencing issues with email campaigns when using the third-party service provided by Swiftpage called EMarketing.

  • Total waste! We have lost vastly more time than is reasonable for any client to absorb.
  • The subscription fee increase is outrageous but your total loss is vastly higher with all the wasted time trying to get defective software to work.

  • Very poor return on investment. It is now quite costly and the support service no longer offers assistance except if the program crashes.
  • Swiftpage seems to have replaced their skilled UK based support team with a call centre?? The service I got was dreadful. This is a difficult program to use and support is vital.
  • You will need some IT skills to properly use ACT! Don't rely on their support which is not good.

  • ACT! pays for itself by keeping me organized.
  • I don't have to remember to contact a prospect, ACT! remembers for me, letting me schedule follow ups for a date and time that works for me. That means greater sales success.
  • ACT! enables me to search for information as well as contacts.

  • It's been easy to keep track of progress of goals with the software. This provides the opportunity to know what is working and what is not.
  • We have had to adjust a lot of things since the Virus issue took a foothold, but it is providing invaluable to make those adjustments.
  • Our ROI has increased at least 30%.

  • Integration with Sage accounting software eliminated double entry of prospect data into Customer/Sales accounting functionality. Thus, this provided a positive ROI.
  • Excellent flexibility in designing customer fields and adapting to unique requirements of a specific business/industry make for a positive ROI and further business goals/objectives.
  • Weakness in providing as much social media functionality as other competing CRM systems not as desirable if one's business is a heavy user of social media and uses that as an integral part of their marketing/sales strategy.

  • SwiftPage has allowed us to send out communications which have led to newly contracted agents. However, given the time it takes to create a decent-looking template and preview it on various browsers, it is costing our company a lot more than it is worth in labor expense.

  • Increased mobility and flexibility to get data via the Moblile and Web access which helped increase activity.
  • Improved data analysis and segmentation because of the ease of adding fields to capture which were specific to our needs
  • Increased call volume due to "hot" lists provided with email marketing integration
