We are a financial planning firm with a staff of 9. GoldMine has been great for a number of things, namely: Keeping track of communication with clients, so our team can stay in the loop and we aren't calling clients multiple times by multiple team members. Forecasting and tracking business and prospects. Scheduling appointments, next actions, calls, etc. Managing workload balance by easily identifying how much work someone has using next actions, calls, appts, etc. Automating processes (e.g. appointment reminder emails and calls, birthday and anniversary greetings, client address changes, etc.). When activated, it schedules next actions for the different team members involved so steps aren't missed. Also, it's great for managing action items for clients' financial plans.
Customer support is helpful. GoldMine has a lot of capabilities, so training our team on everything has been a challenge, but as long as one or two of us understand it on a broader scope, everyday use is pretty simple to train staff on.

We bought a 10 seat Goldmine licence in 2005 and was sold a licensed version by their authorised dealers in Australia.
Within weeks of the implementation and as soon as the ink on the cheque was dry, we were advised that we had bought a version that was no longer supported by Goldmine and that for a further $6,000 we could upgrade to the current version.
Goldmine HO was contacted and couldn't care less.
Having managed the system for several years - trying to recoup our investment - we ended up agreeing to pay the extra (now $8000) for the upgrade and a further $2000 a year for software upgrades and support.
We paid the first year and that is the last we ever heard from them until we refused to pay the second years software upgrade and support fee - then they said - oh, if you pay us we have some really great upgrades we developed a year ago.
Needless to say we are changing CRM systems

We have distributors worldwide and 5,000+ contacts.
I think the directory is slow and emails and phone numbers get linked randomly to the wrong contacts.
The application crashes and it offers poor control over how we send out mass emails ( there's no way to send "X amount per X time interval"). It's expensive. The GUI is old. Training over the phone is a joke - their salesmen don't know the difference between a dedicated server and a cloud server.
Unfortunately, I have to say it is among the best when compared to other CRMs.

We started using GoldMine in 2007. As a small lobbyist organization, we use the filter and group settings in the contact fields to organize, simplify and optimize important correspondence.
Before GoldMine, we used the basic contact functions in Outlook, as well as Excel spreadsheets. GoldMine helps us keep the contact records updated in one sophisticated database so that we can reference different contact lists that have been created for various functions and events.
The implementation went smoothly. I have received many additional hours of training so that we can maximize our utilization of the product.
Anton Systems, specifically Irshad Mohammed, has been extremely responsive to all questions, updates, recommendations, tutorials, etc. that arise. Kara Schwab ensures that we receive fast, professional service so that we can get the most out of our GoldMine database.
I cannot imagine what our database might look like without their assistance.

As an organization dedicated to providing pertinent information to our customers, the North Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau could not operate without GoldMine. This system allows us to manage the contact information and history of every single company and person with whom we work. We have so many records in the system that exist for multiple reasons and GoldMine is wonderful for keeping the data clean and up to date. GoldMine stops staff from entering the same record twice or deleting it accidentally. I, personally, have used GoldMine for almost twenty years and have never found any other program with its ease and ability to be exactly what I need it to be. This latest version of GoldMine is so intuitive and my staff absolutely loves it! The implementation of the upgrade was easy and the training was so well done.
I would highly recommend the Goldmine system to EVERYONE!

We've used GoldMine for almost 10 years now and could not be more pleased with the solution. It is by far the most important, critical, useful and profitable business tool our company possesses.
The user interface is super easy, which translates into quick training and also means that our team uses the technology and all of the rich features associated with it. Before GM we used ACT. Not only was it NOT powerful but the GUI was pretty clunky and we struggled to get team members to use it.
Customer Support at GoldMine is great. We recently upgraded from an old d-base version of GM to the new SQL 9.0 version and we never felt alone. The team at GM was right there with us and walked us through the conversion. As expected there were issues along the way. But the issues we encountered weren't mine to contend with by myself. The GM team made my issues their issues and worked quickly to resolve each of them.
There is no better out of the box CRM solution on the market for the money. You can pay a lot more with the promises of more power but you would only be wasting your money.

Our company specializes in spirit wear merchandise designed for high schools, colleges, destinations and events. We have an extensive customer database that we needed to keep organized and also have the ability to cross-reference our customers with local schools and organizations (ie. names, mascots, school colors, etc.). With GoldMine we're able to achieve all of the above and more, like keeping an employee calendar available, sending out marketing pieces and running reports by territory.
When we initially began using GoldMine 8 years ago we were a smaller company. When we grew and it came time to upgrade our servers, the transition was seamless. Whether setting up for the first time or migrating to a new system, GM just works. For the most part we're able to run everything ourselves but there are times when we need support. Support has always been extremely helpful and thorough. They don't just log in and fix your problem, they explain what they're doing and how to fix it with you right there.
GoldMine is the best thing to happen to our company since our customers.
