Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used Sage CRM before in the past which was very effective in regards to keeping our client interactions current as well as allowing us to all know what the last engagement was with the client internally.

Pros and Cons

When in client profile, it is very intuitive, allowing you to easily transcribe notes in the clients profile.
Sage allows 3rd party plugins, so if you utilize a particular phone services or would like to import something as simple as google drive, its compatible.

Sage doesn't have the best backend when it comes to communicating within the platform, our goal would be to solely work in the crm and not utilize as many plugins.

Return on Investment

Overall our experience with Sage has exceeded our expectation however the pricing is over our budget in regards to what our niche is.

Usability

Overall the usability of Sage is very intuitive for businesses of all sizes. I would recommended any and all small business that are seeking a CRM, especially companies that have experience utilizing CRM's to give it a try.

Support Rating

Sage is a great CRM for a mid (250k - 500k) business as the price points don't align with a small business ( 0 - 249k) business. Although we have changed CRM since utilizing Sage we are considering utilizing it again in Q3 as our business is growing rapidly.

Likelihood to Recommend

Our company is 100% remote so onboarding remote employees has been fairly easy as the CRM is very intuitive. I can easily log into Sage CRM and see my team members activities, know where they have left off with clients and in turn where I should pick the conversation up with the client. Overall the experience has been great however the expense ( monthly packages ) were over our budget.

Sage, its 100% worth a try!
