- 3 stars: 109 reviews (26%)
- 2 stars: 31 reviews (8%)

### Most mentioned pros

- Good for what you need it for, a simple straightforward Rolodex of contacts/deals.
- I liked the simplicity of the system being that it was easy to understand the level of product you were using.
- One of the points that we like most about Sugar is the possibility of generating any report, all the modules are related to each other, and generating modules to our own needs.

### Most mentioned cons

- The main downside is that some updates or changes have to go through an outside design team, so things can take longer than expected.
- Also, when updates happen, certain features may not work quite right at first and need some troubleshooting.
- Without this, operational risk is inherently exacerbated and makes staying ahead of version releases critical.

Overall, my experience with SugarCRM has been good. It helps us manage customer information and service details pretty well, and I’d recommend it to other companies looking for a solid CRM.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

What I like most about SugarCRM is that it keeps customer information organized in one place. Since we’re in a service-based industry, it’s helpful that we can track things like service details, check-in times, photos, before-and-after pictures, and key contacts. I also like that we can pull different reports and use the mapping feature to see where customer locations are.

#### Cons

The main downside is that some updates or changes have to go through an outside design team, so things can take longer than expected. Also, when updates happen, certain features may not work quite right at first and need some troubleshooting.

### Vote is out on this software

- Overall rating: 3/5

- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Hospitality
- Company size: 11-50 employees

We tried using this for months to track a specific product line and to manage our leads and contact information. That product line went away and so did the regular use of this product. We have it as a "back up" for our next test product line, but I'm not sure this is the best choice for us.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

I got the software because it was free. That's always a good thing. At first glance, it seemed like it would be easy to use and an inexpensive fix to a client tracking problem in a new division.

#### Cons

Difficult to navigate and figure out how it worked. There was no customer service to call on and google searches for fixes proved fruitless. (this may be because we had the free version but if you want to sell me on a product and get me to upgrade, I need to be able to use it)

Pleasant but not anything to write home about. Good for what you need it for, a simple straightforward Rolodex of contacts/deals.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

I liked the simplicity of the system being that it was easy to understand the level of product you were using. Options went to menus, and there was little complexity in navigating the actual system and UI. However, in that ease of use - there was a lack of flexibility and coverage as well.

#### Cons

This product is truly a CRM in every sense of the word. The start and end products were revolving around contact management essentially a Rolodex with not many expansion opportunities at the time I was using it. Great for a straightforward process, but leaving some items to be desired that other crms have moved towards.

Overall, I would recommend SugarCRM to businesses that are looking for a CRM solution that can automate their processes and provide customization options. While there may be some upfront costs and a learning curve involved, the benefits of using SugarCRM are likely to outweigh these considerations in the long run.

### Most powerful and easy-to-use CRM to support all corporate sales and marketing activities

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Orianne G.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Telecommunications
- Company size: 10000+ employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: August 2022
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

With SugarCRM, I keep track of new campaigns (account management), I am regularly reminded that I have performance discussions with my customers and I can switch to the corresponding customer account to find all the important data and get in touch with the customer. In addition, thanks to the ticket system, I do not forget to work on important tasks for my customers and other projects. In addition, I can optimally and smoothly inform my teammates about changes utilizing comments and notes in the customer accounts. All in all, I can only say that it is a super complete CRM solution.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

What I like most are the synergy effects of the use of the tool by our large sales teams spread over several locations (in Spain and abroad) and our various marketing teams. We combine all customer contact points in an extremely flexible way across all departments. This simplifies our internal communication and knowledge exchange among ourselves, as well as communication with customers. The interface can be used very intuitively for an extensive CRM system thanks to its focus on a single clear navigation bar. In addition, the tool can be linked very flexibly with other systems via APIs, such as SAP, various campaign management tools, and much more.

#### Cons

It isn't easy to become familiar with all the relevant interface features in a short time to take full advantage of these synergies. Here, you must explore using patience and occasionally, trial and error. However, you will certainly behave similarly to other enterprise-level CRM solutions.

#### Reasons for choosing SugarCRM

Sugar helps us in customer management. With SugarCRM, we have been able to offer our customers our other products in a better and more efficient way. It's ideal for selling more than just the core service. It's very easy to anticipate what the customer might want.

#### Reasons for switching to SugarCRM

Sugar offers all the basic functions of a CRM. It can cover all needs for any type and size of the company. We were able to use it mainly to organize customer contacts.

Overall my experience with this CRM is great. I am using it daily and I can say that my daily work is incomplete without it. It is so simple to use and provides amazing results for reports and dashboards, their customer's support team is very responsive.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I am using it for more than three years and like almost everything about it. This CRM is very easy to use because of its simple design and easy to use user interface. I like the way SugarCRM provides reports and dashboards which is very easy to understand. SugarCRM provides secruity of data and information and now I can handle the different campaigns, create a different campaign for anyone and even get a complete picture of it very easily.

#### Cons

I would like to highlight one thing that I dislike about it which is its overall cost. A small organization may not afford this CRM but overall it is worth to spend on it.

#### Reasons for choosing SugarCRM

We choose this because it has strong customer support team and it is less expensive compared to there products.

### Sugar CRM is inexpensive, functional and quite dated

- Overall rating: 3/5
- Reviewer: Eric R B.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Facilities Services
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: March 2022

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 2/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Sugar CRM is a functional CRM that works reasonably well for tech-minded folks who don't mind getting used to its unappealing interface. It has the basic tools and functionality one would expect from a CRM and some of the integrations are solid (for data imports primarily).

#### Cons

The interface feels old and doesn't give the user much power to reconfigure it to work in a way that will help the user's specific needs. The marketing automation integrations are clunky, too.

#### Reasons for choosing SugarCRM

Sugar CRM was cheaper than any of the other solutions and we had a CTO who liked it because he'd used it many times before.

#### Pros

SugarCRM was fairly easy to get base-level reporting created, and without any training.

#### Cons

The mobile aspect is quite lacking... not good for a leader/manager who wants to check detailed data on the go or away from the office. We had a full-time SugarCRM admin onsite, and even he had trouble creating the level of detail we needed. Our requests weren't unique, we learned, when another software CRM was able to immediately handle them right out of the box.

#### Reasons for choosing SugarCRM

Lower cost (and later regretted it)

I have been able to solve the business problem of tracking new prospects who eventually became customers, which channels drove that new customer acquisition and how much revenue those new customers generated. As well as, providing insights to my marketing team around which customers are planning to quit so they can try running some nurture campaigns to avoid losing those on-the-fence customers. In short, SugarSell helped improve both quantity and quality of customer leads at low cost.

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

As an analyst, I use SugarSell to track new prospects who submit become a customer form to become customers of my food service company. The feature I find most productive is the ability of SugarSell software to assign a source of website, social, email, sales representative, campaign, etc. and track customer journey from acquisition to conversion. As well as, integrate with Salesforce Marketing Cloud platform, so my marketing team can run both customer acquisition and customer retention or nurturing campaigns. As a result of this prospect tracking and seamless connection with Salesforce, targeting those prospects for customer acquisition and retention became more automated and efficient. Hence, both quantity and quality of those leads continued to grow year-over-year and resulted in higher sales for our business. In the nut shell, we got high long term value with low short term investment in a CRM software.

#### Cons

I struggled with adding a new source of voice assistant, chatbot and mobile app to SugarSell CRM reporting tool. Because it needed additional development resources who could modify implementation code. The second source of challenge was not easily able to connect Google Analytics UTM campaigns tracking with SugarSell CRM leads tracking. So, it was difficult to correlate the two data sources to each other in a single table using a common key and build a marketing data lake. Similar concerns existed when trying to bring CRM data, campaigns data and invoice sales data from MicroStrategy into one warehouse. So, it will be nice if SugarSell added some big data enhancement capabilities to their tool.

In my opinion, one of the top two open source CRM apps. A responsive web interface which works the same on all smartphones tablets laptops and desktop computers, no app required. The CRM of choice used by many upstart aggressive disruptive companies of all sizes. Highly cost effective, and expandable with tons of third party PHP modules available from the SugarOutfitters app store, such as connectors to your phone system, document system, marketing automation, reports, social media, etc. A complete bargain when compared with the usual salesforce which runs inside a restricted environment. Way more customizable because you have the wide ranging freedom of adding the latest innovations of PHP code to strengthen and automate your CRM.

#### Ratings breakdown

Open source roots. Benefits from the rising tide of PHP innovations which let you keep up to date by adding new modules for a very affordable prices. There is a massive community of PHP developers available to help build custom modules for you for cheap prices, if you don't have PHP programming skills.

#### Cons

It can take some time to get used to how to use it. Also, it's too bad the free SugarCRM CE (Community Edition) version 6.5.25 is somewhat outdated, and updated only to fix security bugs. Although, it's about 75% the same features as the paid current version of SugarCRM Pro 7.8.

#### Pros

They are continuously making updates and improvements, and support is very responsive. There are a lot of different modules and TONS of flexibility in setting it up to fit your business.

#### Cons

This isn't for a novice user. I recommend using a consultant or someone to set this up for you and spend the extra money and time on training. Most of our employees are only using small functions of the program and we definitely could be getting more value out of it with better training.

My old company used SugarCRM for everything. Part number records, customer interaction, test cases, build info, you name it. I got very used to it and really enjoyed using it and wish my other companies would use it instead of the pricey SalesForce.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5

#### Pros

SugarCRM is easy and cheap to self host, very reliable and has nice addons, such as to an FTP client or Outlook, etc. It is easy to make your own add on as well.

#### Cons

The UI is very stale/ old looking although it did have a nice update a few year ago.
