Pretty good.

Overall experience was positive. It's a solution that I recommend to people.

PROS

What initially attracted us to this CRM was its cost effectiveness. I was impressed by how easy it was to deploy and run. The mobile app was pretty solid, easy to use and probably better or on par with some of the other (more expensive) CRM apps I've used. ~Capsule also had a decent project management function.

CONS

I think we had some trouble when trying to connect to Mail Chimp. From memory it took a long time to get it right.

Vendor Response

Great Easy To Use Affordable CRM

I have been using Capsue since 2017 and to date I have had no issues with the software even it was updated.

PROS

Easy to use. Price. Date Stamp. Search by name, keyword or phone number. You can up load documents to a specific contact. You can separate contacts using tags. Notes easy to edit. Beginner friendly. Generous Free account. It has an app that syncs perfectly with the online account.

CONS

So far the online has everything I need. I have no complaints. The app could add search by phone number. It would help when a client calls I could search the phone number and address them by name if they are found in my CRM the same way I do when working from my lap top from home

Reasons for switching to Capsule

Capsule had all of the features I was looking for without the price tag. I switched when I found myself favoring capsule over Quotit

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.

Easy to use, keeps my lead tracking process organised

It's positive - solves a problem, makes my life easier so it's a thumbs up from me.

PROS

I love that it's easy to use, keeps my lead tracking process organised. No complicated features. I set reminders and track everyone I have contacted. I can access all features really easily and it just makes my sales and marketing manageable - without additional functions I won't use or need.

CONS

When I import a CSV file - I need to format it slightly for it to identify all the columns - just an extra step which is a bit of a pain but not a biggy.

Reason for choosing Capsule

Does exactly what I want without the other stuff that make CSMs so more complicated and heavy

Vendor Response

If you could email support@capsulecrm.com then our team can help you out.

PROS

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

CONS

Im hoping that we can connect a certain gmail contact and automatically have every new email/conversation feed into the same contact on capsule.

Reason 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
