SugarCRM Software

Sugar CRM

Pros

Great pricing and flexibility in customization

Cons

Lacks some features of Salesforce but way lower cost.

Only as good as organizational buy-in permits

Pros

Sugar really can be customized to fit any organization or department. When fully utilized, it can "connect the dots" between various siloed departments that otherwise would not share information. The record search function works well. Your mileage may vary w/r/t interface speed, but I found it to be pretty zippy as far as CRMs go.

Cons

Sugar requires a LOT of work to implement and quite a bit of training after the fact. The potential of SugarCRM is limited to the capabilities of the team using it. If the organization is less tech-savvy, you will encounter a lot of pushback as builds can be somewhat counterintuitive until you are comfortable with it. Each iteration of SugarCRM i've seen has a lot of under or non-utilized features just gathering dust. Given the cost I can conceive of better solutions.

In Skilled Hands...

There was a little bit of hassle in working with the API, but considerably less than others I've tangled with. On the overall it was positive. The deployment required not installing, but also teaching (while also learning), about the software.

Pros

CRM is gold. This goes for any CRM solution. SugarCRM is easy to use and easy to build on. You can also use it with a mobile device or integrate it with Outlook. It's open source and it has plenty of options, so it's great for international teams. It's also a fraction of the cost of all similar packages I'm aware of.

Cons

Some of non-technical folks needed a lot of help figuring out how to import and export data. They also had some issues with it occasionally freezing. This was only shortly after Sugar was released, so my guess is those bugs have been mended.

Not a fan

Pros

It's a nice looking interface that keeps our client information organized.

Cons

This program's email features are really hard to use, especially when trying to send out campaigns. There is very little flexibility.

An alternative to expensive CRM

Pros

Lots of users and community to help out with set up and issues related to product feature and functionality

Cons

Callinga dnwaiting for customer support specially if you are not premium customer .

CRM That Could Use Some Help

Pros

SugarCRM is more cost effective that must CRM, it can complete the needed tasks and basic CRM requirements.

Cons

It's hard to understand and doesn't pack the punch as many CRM software. It's a little hard to follow-up, set-up. You also need to add your own SMS mail service to send emails.

Basic CRM for basic management

No bells and whistles in my experience but it has been a few years since I used it.

sugarCRM is failry sweet

Sugar CRM, really good for midscale companies

Pros

the User experience is the main thing i like on sugar crm. its very easy, simple and minimal design can walk through with the workflow. most of the features are available if we compare to market leaders. thats why most of the mid scale companies like sugar crm.

Forget your spreadsheet list of Customer oportunities

Pros

it is really easy to create and manage your oportunities, then you or your director can easily track how they have been managed, what's the current status of each and so on. Very simple, very natural, very easy

Cons

Adding information or attaching files to the oportunities can sometimes be a bit annoying. Then when you have a really big ammount of opportunities, you don't have many coices of filters to dig out through them

Out-of-date software now eclipsed by cometitors

Although SugarCRM was probably ground-breaking in its day, it now feels clunky and out-of-date. The support is limited, and it has been overtaken by better alternatives.

Pros

Ability to create personal dashboards
LinkedIn connector

Cons

Poor search function
Dated UI
Clunky operation

Its ok

Pros

My office uses this to store client details and licenses. The search facility is excellent.

Cons

The user interface is quite clunky and outdated in my opinion.

Ease of Using

Pros

Cons

So far no cons have found, will definitely let you know in case if we find any

Started as a Salesforce clone

Once you get it rolling you can really work with SugarCRM

Pros

SugarCRM tries to be what Salesforce has always been. As an open source product you can get a lot of functionality for free, once you manage the administration of the server. Good customisation of the user interface, too.

Cons

Even the professional version has many limits in terms of functions and flexibility.
