SugarCRM is very helpful
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is being able to run offline and that it's fully customizable. Check their free trial out.
What do you dislike about the product?
You must have 10 users to start. Makes it hard to try out at first.

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

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Have been working every day in SugarCRM for about 2 years now.
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.
Sugar
What do you like best about the product?
It is user friendly with a good help tool
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface can be more user friendly

Budgetting
My experience using SugarCRM
What do you like best about the product?
Customizeable dashboard allows us to add certain modules - enables us to see what we need to right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Searching - it's almost like "Whack-a-mole" sometimes. Drives me crazy!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralized CRM for sales and customer service to make sure that client needs are met.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you database is REALLY REALLY good.
Sugar CRM has helped track and manage our sales pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, cloud-based option and the ability to create and convert Leads to Opportunities. Being able to create and track Leads separately from actual Opportunities allows management to more accurately assign probability to each opportunity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Creating custom reports can be cumbersome. It would be nice to be able to extract data as of a certain date. For example, extract data to see all opportunities and their status 12 months ago and compare it to current status of pipeline. Currently, the comparison can be accomplished by extracting data each month and keep the history stored in excel.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating, tracking and assigning probabilities to leads and opportunities for new prospects and existing clients. We now have the ability to track all leads and opportunities as well as create accounts and contacts to be shared with the team.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sugar has lots of features to help track and manage your sales pipeline.
Good CRM - Self hosting on a Windows/SQL stack.
What do you like best about the product?
Sugar is highly customizable and the option to self host is not available by a lot of other providers. We are able to synchronize a lot of information from our ERP and other business software easily through direct access to the SQL database. With a cloud version, we would have to write code utilizing their API to synchronize everything. Building that out would have been a lot more costly for us.
From an Admin and user perspective, the software is very intuitive and easy to learn. While there's always room for improvement in any software, our users are very happy with how much easier it is to find the information they need.

What do you dislike about the product?
The support has been pretty good, but some of the improvements seem to come at a slower pace than I would like. For example, there are some structural issues with the authentication that causes a user to get logged out if they are using both mobile and desktop versions. There is supposed to be a fix for that coming, but it has been an ongoing issue for awhile. Fingerprint authentication for mobile is another example.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made a very nice impact on our sales process. For the first time, we are able to easily see where in the sales process we are for any pursuit. Overall, it has greatly increased team selling and communication. Lastly, it gave us the base and framework to build out marketing automation that is driving much better awareness and sales than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to really define your sales process first. I even recommend building it out slowly. You'll be amazed how much it will change once you start using it. So spending too much time upfront without users in the system ends up being a waste of time. We alpha tested it with a small group, then beta tested it for a month and finally launched it to the entire team. Over the course of the first 6 months we made more refinements. Lastly, I definitely recommend auditing the information going in. It takes time to get users on the same page with how to use the tool, but once they do, the benefits to them as a team are amazing.
Fairly intuitive and great customization
What do you like best about the product?
I like the user experience of the interface. I think it's intuitive for the most part. The integration with Quickbooks has been key for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
No software can do everything you want, but I do wish that there was a way to quote or build opportunities from the leads module.
Also, you cannot use the Quotes module from the mobile app, which is disappointing for our sales team in the field.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were not fully using a CRM in our small business, so we are solving the problems of no traceable communication, reporting, or customer info all in one place. We also had no way to manage our email databases.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you don't need something as huge and robust as SalesForce, this is the way to go. It's got plenty of features and integrations.
Sugar isn't always so sweet
What do you like best about the product?
SugarCRM is inexpensive and a basic CRM tool best suited for smaller companies or companies that don't need all the bells and whistles of a more robust platform. Also recommended to have a full-time Sugar Administrator on staff to help streamline ease of use with the product for other users.
What do you dislike about the product?
We experiences a lot of challenges when Sugar was synced to our marketing automation tool. A connector device had to be setup to pass sales insights and campaign members to Sugar, which didn't always work. I would like to have seen a more cohesive solution for integration between the two systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Campaign management; lead/contact record management; shared prospecting information between marketing and sales
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can afford Salesforce, I would recommend using that CRM over Sugar.
Sugar CRM is inferior to Salesforce
What do you like best about the product?
I found it clunky and difficult to configure so I can't say much about likes
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI needs a lot of work. WE transitioned to Salesforce.com because the I was so much better.
