I dislike the length of time it takes to get to a complete resolution on issues that are found in the software.

Having the ability to customize reports and letters, as well as track data and due dates, is so beneficial. The CGC staff is certainly worth commenting on.

ECMS is updating the software constantly to provide the customer with the best product. The menu options are very organized, giving you the ability to navigate quickly and efficiently.

For me the best feature about the software is the Reporting. Every construction ERP that we reviewed  did not have a powerful Biz Intelligence reporting writing tool.

The system need a custom installation and very difficult to try to understand.

The customer support has remained strong. CGC modules we like best are Accounts Payable, Document Imaging and Workflow routing, IBM software maintenance program, General Ledger, Data Inquiry.

We have been using  eCMS since it was CMS, we are fairly familiar with the system. Introduction browser as interface did add and open more windows and we are happy with it.

I have used this for 11 years and love everything about it from billing to check writing to reporting.

ECMS is an excellent out of the box solution that doesn't take a handful of programmers to develop and setup.

Their customer support is amazing. So knowledgeable, helpful and kind.

All of our Job Costing data flows back into the Estimating Department to continue the cycle of successful project bidding.

CGC's commitment to constant improvement, as well as it's customer's needs, has yielded a product that continues to evolve.

Its ability to handle imaging smoothly and effortlessly is still what sets it apart from the competition.

Solid ERP system with excellent data imaging capability and customer support.

User Friendly, Comprehensive ERP Construction Software.

Computer browser restrictions has limited some functionality over the years but is soon going away in the new anticipated release.

I have to manage our projects through a variety of stages in order to be successful and this ERP allows me to do that with ease.

Visibility and accessibility of actual Job Cost is straight forward and easy to use for project management and accounting staff. We upgraded to eCMS4.1 in October 2018.

Their customer support is always great and gets us answers and help quickly. With even more new features coming soon, it will only make our investment in eCMS even more valuable.

You need to make sure it is configured to meet your needs as a company. If it's not done right the first time, it could be painful going back and changing the way the system operates.

We are very happy with the integration of the accounting and project management sides of the software. Integration is key for our efficiency.

We have been using eCMS on the cloud version for almost 10 years. The reliability and flexibility of eCMS is excellent.

Experience has been good overall, It's a stable platform that can do may things required of a construction software package, and can do it all under one system.

It gets a bit frustrating. I also hate the double authentication because I do not always have my phone with me when I need to get on the software.

Salesforce is a really great product I loved the tools used and tips to help you create sales and serve better for customers.

Salesforce is the best customer relationship management tool in the market right now. The best thing I like about this software is the features.

There is little to be said about cons. I experienced minor trouble when accessing customer support at some point which would probably be the worst of it.

I love using Salesforce. It is very user friendly and helps me be able to track my progress and create a clean pipeline.

Ref IDs are my biggest pet peeve, they don't always work and I've lost emails this way from clients. This leads to a bad consumer experience for everyone involved.

Ease of use and works great for small (that's us) or large companies it blends well with other programs is customizable and tracking is good,  reach out is also very easy to use.

If you could get the innovative nature of Salesforce to your business you would get amazing talent collection to your organizations.

An awesome CRM platform with a plethora of information to use to become the best marketer you can be.

Overall Salesforce is great and can integrate with hundreds of other platforms which makes it an amazing tool to use company wide, not just for sales.

Like I stated before, I was happy about the switch to Salesforce Lightning, but it has turned out to be great. I like that my emails and Talkdesk are integrated into Salesforce as well.

My team members use it in delivering great sales and customer service experience and it has been a great help for all of us.

This software will help you to build your sales and marketing in the industry, salesforce is a great software and value for money, so therefore I recommend it to the user.

I like the fact that Salesforce is very flexible and customizable to my taste. It is very user friendly and the functionality is superb.

So popular and so powerful for small business  is contact management, task management, opportunity tracking, collaboration tools, customer engagement tools. Flexible and easy  to use.

The integration with gmail is awesome. Being able to automatically log emails to the appropriate account instantly is such a nice feature.

I like that this platform is easy (for the most part) to use. I also find that the customer support is amazing and always willing to help.

It's also supported by awesome community and the best documentation/support in the business. The Trailblazer community leads the tech industry in training and documentation.
