Best CRM I've ever used
Peace of mind for my business
Pros
Visual presentation of the data, ease of access, monthly subscription, data capture, project tracking, email link capability, mobile access.
Cons
The CRM had no functions that I disliked
Reasons for Choosing Capsule
All other products were too complex with difficult to set up daily interactions

Capsule Review
Pros
Very easy to set up Easy and intuitive to use It is flexible enough so that it can be moulded around a requirement or purpose, even if that function isn't immediately obvious. The support staff are great at coming up with solutions and work arounds Support staff are very quick to respond. The close links with Mailchimp and Zapier are great and really easy to merge different systems.
Cons
You can't 'drag and drop' documents from the system to emails. There's no 'pre-opportunity' stage - i.e. no way of registering an interest in a product (linking a client and product or organisation) without it being a formal 'opportunity' - there needs to be a 'pre-opportunity' facility to ease admin in the system. There's no way of retaining a record of a meeting in the calendar. There's no one to stand behind my husband and remind him to record notes in the system! :-)
Reasons for Choosing Capsule
it worked better for our requirements, customer support was personal and significantly better and the price was better.

Hi Rebecca, Chloe from Capsule here. Thanks for your review - I'll be sure to pass on your feedback to our team. As for the pre-opportunity problem, you could use a Case for that and then you can link that case to an Opportunity if it does move into the pipeline. That way you can have a clear record of it, but it isn't impacting conversion rates or anything like that. You can read more about Cases here: https://capsulecrm.com/support/projects-and-events/understanding-cases/. While you can't see your past tasks in the Calendar, you can go to the task list view and filter for completed tasks. Here you'll be able to see a list of everything that's been completed. While we can't put someone behind your husband and nudge him - you could set up a task for a certain time each day that recurs every week (5 recurring tasks), basically just as a prod to remind him to add notes? I hope that gives you some tips and if you need any extra support you can always reach out to us.

Pros
We really like the interface and how it is organised. Best feature is the gmail integration.

Im hoping that we can connect a certain gmail contact and automatically have every new email/conversation feed into the same contact on capsule.
Reasons for Choosing Capsule
suited our needs best for now and also for future
Reasons for Switching to Capsule
better product, much better interface and customer support

Features and Format Lacking, Good for the Basics
Overall, Capsule seems middle-of-the-road. It's been useful as a database to keep our pipeline and outreach organized at a base level but hasn't impressed beyond that.
Pros
The ability to export to Mailchimp has been very useful, it allows us to immediately update lists without having to go through multiple extra steps.
Cons
Certain features I'm used to in a CRM are missing. The only way to correlate multiple organizations (as a subsidiary or similar case) is to make a note of it in the organization description and that doesn't link through. You're also unable to categorize a contact under multiple organizations, so you need to create a new person with the same name if you want to put them under more than one company. It would also be nice to have a better search and reporting function. The only things you can search for are the person, organization, case, and note content, so every other bit of information you'd like to search for and compile must be placed as a tag, which gets clunky and disorganized easily. There is some sales pipeline reporting, but the options are not as robust as other CRM systems I've used in the past.

wonderful Software for every business
The software is simple to use, it has a wide range of tools that you can use. However, the great thing you dont have to use all the features and they are hidden away, so they dont affect your everyday usage. Incredibly for this type of software and all the tools you can access, it is incredibly affordable for personal, small business or large companies. We really love the product
Pros
We have used this software for over five years. We used to use act and were reluctant to move to another provider. We moved because we could use the software on all forms of devices, anywhere in the world. The other great feature is that it is so simple to use, you hardly need any training at all
Cons
Actually we love it, so we dont really have anything negative to say
Reasons for Switching to Capsule
We wanted to use the cloud and we wanted to use the software on our mobile devices. At the time Act wanted a large investment to do this and secondly the cloud offering was poor. We were recommended Capsule by a telesales lady who worked for us. When we saw the software it blew our minds and we could believe the low monthly charge to use it, so we ran the system alongside Act to see if it was capable of replacing Act. The result we made the switch, saved thousands of pounds on paying for updates and annual service charges. We would highly recommend this product, its excellent
