Good, but not quite great

  • January 04, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Good bread and butter CRM features, with Salesforce-esque level of functionality but at a better price point. Very capable reporting capabilities, which are often missing in lightweight CRMs and were critical to us. Also like the tight integration with INBOX25, our marketing automation system.

As our company's Sugar administrator, I see and respect a lot of the customization and workflow power in the system, which average users don't see.
What do you dislike about the product?
We use Sugar's hosted On Demand service, and while performance was at one point subpar compared to other web-hosted CRMs it's been much better for us the last year. Am not a big fan of how leads remain in the system after conversion nor how it's impossible to mass convert a set of leads; conversion must be done individually. Fixes can take a long time to get through the pipeline. It took 13 months for Sugar to get a fix into production when they broke something that was important to us. Am am concerned about overall value. Sugar occurs as somewhat expensive given the value we receive from it, especially in light of the broad set of CRM platforms that have become available in the 5 years we've been with Sugar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sugar offers a generally good environment for our company's lead and customer processing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If a heavyweight CRM, a la Salesforce, is important to your organization, Sugar merits taking a look at. But if you're a small company or non-profit, the system is likely more complicated than you'll need.

Great CRM

  • December 16, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, and has a ton of reporting customization. I can create custom reports and save the templates to run again later. It also has an Outlook plug-in for archiving.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Outlook plug-in sometimes gets hung on archiving and leaves a notification on my desktop endlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Task generation and follow up. Documentation has become easier because every user and place info into one centralized place and log contact with buyers.

Basic CRM

  • December 16, 2016
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's a relatively simple and straight-forward procedure to enter new leads/contacts into the system.

It is customizable - We have been able to tweak it to our liking with our devs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The search functionality is horrendous. You have to be extremely specific, and it only recognizes the first 2 names - I.e. John Michael Jones, if you search John Jones, it will not return the contact.

Does not integrate well into many platforms, if at all.

Outdated as best.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's our central hub for housing customer data - for now - currently switching to Sales Force - Thank goodness
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with another product

Sugar CRM does the job effectively without much distraction

  • December 01, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love Sugar CRMs easy to navigate home dashboard. I'm able to schedule calls, meetings, follow ups and view them right on my desktop, as well as see any new accounts created, contacts added. I also really enjoy the robust search feature so I can always pull up what I'm looking for, even if I don't remember a name. I can search by company, email, first name, or last name. Very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the latest update, as they changed around some features, and adding a contact to a product or opportunity takes about 3 more steps then it previously did. It is not a major pain, but still takes more time than I'd like. I also don't enjoy that expiration dates got moved to the end so I have to scroll to see them. I learned I can adjust it myself, but it was properly set up and the update changed many settings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sugar has been instrumental in keeping up with open opportunities for our company. We don't always know who's testing our software, but once it's properly in sugar we can pull a report with all opportunities expiring in the month and do our follow ups! It's helped us increase sales, and have happier customers because they don't feel forgotten.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Test it out first to make sure you will have the best use of it. It's simple but powerful, bu will not work for all groups.

Great upgrade from previous software!

  • November 22, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to make reports and having the ability to have many modules connected in a relational format.
What do you dislike about the product?
SugarCRM took a while to fully understand all the functionality for a front end user like myself, which I suppose is not a negative, just took some getting used to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are much better able to create and utilize reports, which helps our team and business as a whole.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Allow plenty of time between switching from your previous CRM, to ensure everything is setup and running as it should!

The best part is being able to run offline and that it's fully customizable. Check their free trial out.

Helps us track our contacts and allows us to establish customer relationship management.

Have been working every day in SugarCRM for about 2 years now.

  • November 08, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's fairly easy to use. The reporting shows accuracy as well. The company I am with has integrated SugarCRM with our marketing automation tool, Marketo. It's nice to have the communication between the two and know that all our activities in Marketo are being tracked back to the CRM.
What do you dislike about the product?
When integrating SugarCRM with Marketo, we found it very difficult to get them to communicate together. The process was very long. As I know this could also have to do with the fact that Marketo has been created to integrate primarily with SalesForce, we were hoping the process could have been a tad easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are currently trying to track MQL within SugarCRM. This is an education process with our Sales Team as well as trying to create the correct custom fields within SugarCRM so that we can find these MQLs. So far the CRM has been great in helping us track these leads through the custom fields.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would double-check if the CRM is compatible with any other tools you would like to integrate it with.
