Overall Satisfaction with Workbooks

We currently use Workbooks in a few different departments. Sales uses this to track sales cycles, as a CRM Database, and to track their target revenue. Finance uses this for orders and invoices to track who has paid, and Marketing uses this to send mail shots as well. We used to use this in support for support cases.
  • The opportunities database for sales staff, very detailed but still available at a glance.
  • Functionality with GatorMail, being able to receive data from email shots.
  • Reports are a great way to pull together different records within Workbooks, and being able to send these as automated emails helps with sales cycles.
  • Search functionality isn't great, could be more advanced.
  • Reports are hard to create if not familiar with the process.
  • Being able to see a pipeline for sales cycles helps with cash flow forecasting.
Workbooks is best suited for a sales CRM, it has all the functionality to track sales cycles and targets, combined with GatorMail it's perfect for this. It also works well for marketing purposes. However I would not recommend it for support or finance as such. I use it daily for all of these departments.
