SugarCRM Reviews & Product Details

I like the ease with which you can create an email without being an HTML expert or knowing a lot about graphic design. My background is in writing yet I can still create a visually appealing email using the email editor (although after trying the new one this morning, I'm excited for it to become even ore user-friendly!) I also love the reporting feature; I love how you can totally geek out on the numbers. I'm only beginning to explore the custom reports but I love what I see so far!

I dislike having to repeat a text style - font size, color or style - because the editor doesn't always keep the change you just made. I often make a change, save the email, send myself a test email, and the change does not render and I have to repeat myself.

I am able to target more specific audiences with the tool, and measure how those efforts are working using the great reporting features.

SugarCRM offers the most easily customized CRM platform on the market today - it s a powerful and flexible tool that you can make your own, to fit specific needs. We use it in house because of how well it integrates with 3rd party add-ons. We often have clients looking for CRM solution that want an open-source solution and a partner community - they are always pleased with SugarCRM.

I think Sugar is a great solution for small to midsize companies looking to grow - but in our experience, despite what Sugar says, they are not quite ready to handle a true enterprise level company.

It's user friendly and ticks all the boxes we need in a CRM for our company.

The amount of storage and the fact that we have to pay more on a regular basis for storage.

It helps us organize our clients and allows us to work more efficently as a team to provide customer service.

Helpful in making sure the cases are handled.

It's cimbersome and not the most intuitive

I can;'t really say it's solving a lot of provlems

Easy user interface and can understand customer sentiments

Nothing as such. I have not come across anything to dislike as of now

To resolve the cases faster

Its service console has all the information needed to resolve a support case in one panel. It has helped a lot in reducing time to provide resolution, improve customer satisfaction, and support experience. Sugar Serve displays the best actions to take based on SLA, contact information, account activity history, and case details. There is no need to search or navigate. It also offers intelligent work prioritization; route, assign, and escalate cases; calculate follow updates, and send notifications.

There is nothing much to dislike about this software but it can offer more integrations and features at this price.

Sugar server offers case prioritization so that service agents don't have to worry about identifying cases that need immediate attention. Agents can respond faster to customers with high priority and feel valued. It also helps in reassigning and escalating the cases.

SugarServe helps us to identify the problems or concerns of our customers immediately. It also has an intelligent routing feature, which is good because sometimes, their issues are transferred to other departments, which causes inconvenience to the customers.

The thing that we dislike about this tool is the customization is a bit difficult. Also, the navigation was difficult; we needed to figure it out since there was no customer support or technical support to call on.

It helps us to solve a lot of integrations needed. Also, intelligent reporting is a big help because it summarizes all the performances, which allows the forecast trends while noticing the issue patterns. It has significantly improved our whole team's performance drastically. Another great thing about this tool is, it is efficient and affordable compared to the previous tool that we have used.

It offers unified incorporation for email advertising records and empowers single mailshots or developed drip campaigns. The incorporation is very innovative and growing constantly. Our team really like the user-friendliness of this tool. Moreover, it is easy to use in building and linking the campaigns. We additionally like the training process on joining. The support team of Sugar Market is also very cooperative.

Our team don’t like how a few things appear to be disorganized such as the lists, campaigns, and so on are spread out. Moreover, this tool is still in its developmental phases, thus, there are many great opportunities to get better. Navigation can require sometime to become accustomed to, and keeping in mind that it grows on you, taking new clients onboard requires some time.

Sugar Market is a SugarCRM's leading advertising automation tool that presents you a superior quality perspective of your client experience. This tool changes how average sized advertising companies contact their target audience and measure accomplishment all through the purchaser venture. Moreover, it attracts individuals visiting your site and comprehend how they communicate with advanced resources.

Sugar Market enables us to market to our prospects/customers. We have a form on our site to capture prospect info. We get informed if a prospect returns to the site. Prospects can send us requests for info. We can market to prospects and customers as large or targeted groups. And it sends lead info to our instance of Salesforce.com so we can track their activity further... from prospect to customer.

It is a powerful tool, so it is a bit complex and it can be a little hard to know/remember how to use all of the features.

Capturing prospect lead info, responding to requests for info, marketing to prospects, tracking them to becoming customers, staying in touch with customers, up-selling/penetrating into other business units.

Sugar Market is a great add on for Sugar CRM, it provides seamless integration for e-mail marketing lists and enables single mailshots or advanced drip campaigns. While Sugar Market was not natively written for Sugar CRM, integration is quite advanced and improving all the time.

Not all of the terminologies between the two systems is perfectly aligned, but it is getting better.

Sugar Market allows us to ensure we are reaching our customer base regularly and we are able to segment our customers on various categories very quickly for targeted campaigns.

I really like that Salesfusion is constantly evolving to stay relevant. A lead management tool is not only a financial investment but a significant time investment. It takes time to bring staff up to speed on how to use a platform and then be able to make the most out of it. The fact that Salesfusion stays up-to-date and goes the extra lengths to make sure the product continues to meet our needs now and into the future is incredibly important. I would also like to note with all of improvements to the platform there is always training and adequate support. We have never felt behind or completely lost with any of the new features that are deployed.

I just wish Salesfusion had more integrations into other services. Their CRM integrations are great. Give us more connections into services like that. We can run into issues trying to get data from other aspects of our marketing stack into Salesfusion which can be challenging.

It's been great that Salesfusion is full featured and covers the main needs we have, all in one package without additional modules or options to buy. This has resulted in significant costs savings without loss of functionality compared to other systems we evaluated enabling us to invest in other places. Their integration to CRM systems is well done and gives us easy access to the data we need to make decisions. The Salesfusion support team has also been a bright spot and helped whenever needed.

SalesFusion is a rather intuitive platform and user-friendly tools. Their customer service is also very helpful, and they are making constant strides to improve their product.

There is room for it to become more customizable, with limitations on the drag and drop tool, as well as the ability to recall campaigns at different steps of the journey and the like. Some of the customer experience can be optimized, but once you find where certain tools live, they are quite helpful.

SalesFusion has a lot of benefits that we have to utilize. Currently they are a good tool for e-marketing efforts, and there is also room for it it make up for some of the shortcomings of our "CRM" tool, which is great.

SalesFusion is easy to use, I can create and send a message to my audience very quickly and without difficulty, and whenever I have a problem or a question, the response from customer service is always very fast and extremely helpful.

It would be helpful to have better reporting options, and it can be difficult sometimes to find old messages when I need to find and refer to them.

We reach a large audience of clients with regular communications via SalesFusion, keeping them informed of all the necessary news and information they need to be aware of.

The features of salesfusion are everything you'd want in a marketing automation platform.

We're still learning how to use the system and the documentation is a bit weaker than I would like. Now that we've had a year under our belts of using it I add it is a great platform but has a big learning curve.

Mass, yet personalized emails. Easier reporting vs. manual methods, person-level data vs. summary data.

Native integration with our CRM (SLX, Infor), top-notch customer support(they almost always find a satisfying resolution for us), actually implement ideas you suggest as product updates, tons of reporting features.

Anything besides out of the box reporting features may require assistance from support.

We are a medium sized business and Salesfusion goes above and beyond our requirements for Marketing Automation.

The best thing about SalesFusion is the ability to tailor nurture campaigns based on specific actions or knowledge that you already have about the user. It allows us the ability to speak directly to what the user may want so they aren't flooded with messaging they don't care about.

Some of the interface is clunky and HTML designing is the easiest for our look and feel - something that I'm not well-versed in at all. Other than that, I don't have the content to fully utilize the tool, but that's an internal issue!

We are trying to better qualify our sales leads as well as create some better interest generation. We've been able to have more access into the seeing what users are doing on our site, see what they are engaging with, and see more of the product interaction.

I like Sugar CRM because you can use the community edition to test drive a lot of the features and get a feel for how you can configure the setup. Using a Web hosting company such as Hostgator that has an automated setup tool for Sugar CRM makes the installation effortless.

The flexibility of Sugar CRM and the sheer number of choices that you have to setup the CRM also makes it a little overwhelming to someone that is just a user and hasn't configured a CRM in the past.

First off, you can't beat the price. Secondly, the open source CRM can be customized easily right out-of-the-box. Furthermore, if you're willing to shell out a little extra money to a third-party Sugar vendor, your options are endless when it comes to customizing your CRM to meet your needs.

Speed has probably been the biggest downfall within our organization, but that's improved slowly over the past year. Migrating our data from Salesforce.com to SugarCRM was a nightmare as well.

It offers great potential for Sugar CRM integration since it's owned by Sugar. Many of the automation platforms don't offer great integration with Sugar CRM, or some features are only available for Sales Force.

While it offers a lot of potential for better integration a lot of that is not there yet. For example, custom module integration. The setup and initial launch has been a little buggy, but the support has been good and I think we're getting some of the issues resolved.

Sugar Market handles all of our outbound emails. Plus we are integrating more and more nurture campaigns that have worked really well so far. Lead scores have been super helpful in the past for our sales team and we almost have that up and working.

Running the nurture marketing programs through the system is the best part.

The reporting is a bit dated and can be cumbersome to use. The email designer needs to handle images better from a responsive standpoint.

Mostly we are solving sales and marketing alignment related issues. We are sending more qualified leads to sales and running more impactful email campaigns
