Close.io Software

Happy with Close.io. We'll continue to use them.

Pros

Too many to list. During the trial our team already saw an ROI for the software. Very easy to use and great for keeping sales teams organized.

The CEO has tons of great resources available.

Cons

Can't think off too many. An integrations marketplace would be great to see.

Keeps sales focused on relevant tasks rather than wasting time on housekeeping tasks

Pros

It makes the sales team at my company so much more efficient and keeps them focused on relevant tasks rather than wasting time on housekeeping tasks

Cons

Some small learning curve for some of the more advanced features.

Pros

We use pipedrive for email marketing and Close.io for cold calling. Our system works like this. Our marketing team use pipedrive to send out email to possible leads and follow up with them and when it results in a successful response from the prospect the sales team collects the phone numbers. Then these prospects with phone numbers have been downloaded to csv and transferred to Close.io CRM for sales team. Then they do all the cold calling with in Close.io CRM. Our department also have access to this CRM to make support calls later on. We can say our sales team's productivity has increased a lot after implementing this CRM. They do not need to manually do the sorting and recording of calls made and everything can be done in settings just one time.

Cons

When importing the prospects from a CSV if there are duplicates in the file, it doesn't detect that and gets added just like an other contact. There are no option to segment the contact in to different categories.

Pros

I like that you are able to track all forms of communication with a potential business. You can crack phone calls, notes, text messages all in the order that you had the conversation with your business. I also like that you are allowed to send text messages to business if they are hard to get a hold of via phone call.

Cons

I think that they could have better integration with other platforms. Our support team uses fresh desk and fresh chat as their source of emails and chats and with no integration it makes it hard for the support person to see the conversation that goes on between the sale person and the customer without having close.io open.

Pros

I like the cost above all else. We used a more expensive CRM for a while and were thrilled to find out about Close.io and its low price in comparison. The platform is also a lot simpler to use than other popular CRMs like SalesForce and Dynamics.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about the platform. There could be some additional features to make activities simpler but that's not really anything against the platform, in my opinion.

Pros

Coming from Salesforce and other CRM services, Close.io shines a much needed light for our sales team. They follow industry standards and have every feature that I've been used to having. I incredibly appreciate the ability to call and track phone calls directly from the app.

Cons

The desktop app is where it's all at, but I would appreciate a more fine-tuned web and mobile app considering what we pay and what other services offer.

Pros

We've used close.io for a few years for our sales team. It has nearly any feature that you'll need. It has incredibly good system for follow ups and sales tracking.

Cons

This is not really needed when you have just a couple of salespersons and price starting from per mo is really high.

Pros

Within 2 days of using Cloze it had delivered a ton of value—recommending I reach out to a friend I hadn't spoken to in 4 weeks, reminding me to call a client because I'd committed to them in an email (but never scheduled the call), and autofilling all the most painful parts of a CRM: your contacts and orgs. Awesome product

Cons

The UX/design of the website is starting to get a little annoying. They need to improve how info is displayed to make it less cluttered.

Pros

This CRM system contains everything that you need for the successful dealing with the leads, write comments, add all the information to the certain client. However, there is also the feature which realized not in every CRM and I am talking about reporting system. It does exist in some other CRM’s but as an addition, they are not paying as much attention to this function as needed unlike Closeio, their reporting really gives you all the important information regarding deals, calls and other important things in sales.

Cons

I personally would like to see the longer trial period of using the platform, a month would be enough to see and test everything that I needed instead of two weeks that they suggest, because of lacking knowledge about the system it was a risk to purchase it, however, eventually I was satisfied.

Pros

Close integrates all of our customer communication into one place to make it really easy to use. Because it integrates with calling and email, most communication gets automatically logged so there isn't that annoying extra step. And because we're already in it while interacting with customers, adding notes is natural. The result is a CRM system that is up to date and gets used.

Cons

I'd like prettier reporting. The reporting screen basically counts and filters to give a table of results. I would love to have this visualize pipelines and allow us to drill down on results in a more visual way.

Close.io is simple software package that incorporated "common sense" into their sales process to help drive efficiencies in a sales persons daily outbound and inbound activity. Close.io allows me to make phone calls quicker, take notes, send emails & text messages in one simple to use UI.

Pros

I love that I can make phone calls out of Close.io using my contact information for any given prospect. It integrates with my email system and captures all my outbound and inbound email traffic and keeps a record of it. The UI is also simple and the sales workflow is better streamlined then saleforce.com in my opinion. I wasn't a fan in the beginning, but after about 2 weeks I loved it's functionality and ease of use.

Cons

It took me a while to get adjusted to their process methodology and in the beginning found it cumbersome and clunky.

Pros

Close.io is super easy to use while being packed full of advanced features. This makes it easy for sales reps to just get in and do what they need to do without stumbling over things they don't need.

Cons

Would be nice if Close.io integrated with more marketing automation platforms so that it was easier to send relevant leads into the platform.

Pros

i love being able to send emails directly from the crm. it's not just sync, but a full integration. it also has all the modern functionality you would expect from an email system - right in your crm!

Cons

my concern is how well this tool scales because of its relative lack of discreteness. it would be difficult for manage a sales team utilizing this technology

Pros

The program is fairly simple to use, contains a comfortable design and a wonderful build. In general, the positive feedback from our sales team, as employees say, in fact, that CRM is easy to use and allows them to call and send letters by e-mail quite quickly and simply. We have absolute access to everything, in fact, what happens in the trading process, we are more likely to contact customers sooner than ever, and be able to get an absolute overview of the sent letters, the number of calls made and much more.

Cons

Typically, the software is good, and all tools work without problems. Installation of this product is fairly easy and fast. Customer service is working pretty well. So I do not see any problems with this program and it's good.

Pros

Close has made it super simple for me to handle all my daily tasks. It allows me to essentially do everything I need to do on the platform without leaving. I really like how easy this software is to use and that it is cloud-based. You do download an app to your desktop, but that just syncs up with the cloud. Now it has become much easier to see communications with all of our clients. Multiple employees can communicate with multiple clients and it makes it so much easier to hold each other accountable when all communication is out in the interface.

Cons

I wish there was a better system for sorting leads. I would prefer to have subsections rather than single categories. I also think that UI is a bit plain and reporting is not very good unless you pay for the highest priced plan.

Pros

As a huge fan, I have nothing but great things to say.

Some of the biggest wins:

-Fast interface
-Robust and extremely powerful search tools
-Syncs with gmail (IMAP) perfectly.
-Ability to set custom SMTP servers for outbound email, while maintaining sync for inbound.
-Excellent support team
-Custom variables for leads. Allows sales team to get additional key insights
-Tasks manager and assignment

Cons

Only one feature that I can currently think of that I'd love to see and that's the ability to add custom fields to contacts within a lead.

Pros

It is a great tool to keep everyone on the same page. This is the best CRM for a SaaS company today! Built for hustlers by hustlers, the team is great and I look forward to their future updates. Our inside sales team use Close.io to work cohesively and ensure we are not having multiple people follow up with the same leads. Our sales staff also links in to see when follow-ups have been done. The features that helped us the most is real-time integration with Gmail. Next is solid template structure that allows for customization options and variable fields. The whole service is easy to use. It can easily search for past emails and share the status with other members because it integrates all the emails and calls with the leads to the platform. In addition, it allows adding tasks and setting up alarms. Great tool to organize the database, rank potential customers/investors, and size the opportunities.

Cons

I don’t like minor bugs. Sometime when I'm replying to an account it attempts to send the email to a different user. Thankfully, I have only missed it when sending internal emails. No native mobile apps yet.

It was super easy to use and got the job done.

Pros

It's so simple and intuitive - they didn't waste their time with fancy features which I love. It's the CRM I would use over and over again if I could

Cons

It's really good for when you reach the deal stage but there isn't enough functionality for prospecting which we needed.

Pros

Close.io is basically a hub for everything you'd need to nurture and close sales. It has built-in calling, SMS and voicemail drop from a unique phone number, all tracked alongside emails and notes. The interface where you track leads is easy to understand and train salespeople on.

Cons

The mobile app is glitchy. I would love to be able to upload new contacts/leads from a business card photo, but I haven't had any luck so far. Hopefully this will be resolved before too long. The desktop interface is amazing though.

Pros

Super simple for making phone calls and sending emails. Easy workflows for inside sales reps, you can make a lot of calls quickly.

Cons

The reporting is pretty barebones, but I know that's something they've been bulking up over time.
