    Apptivo Inc
    I would absolutely recommend Apptivo! We have used Apptivo for years, and we wouldn't consider another platform to keep all of our contacts together in one place. It's easy to export certain lists for certain mailings and to add/remove new contacts and move things around as needed over time. There's freedom to adding new contacts and the pricing is phenomenal

    Pipedrive is a fantastic tool to help monitor and track lead generation and referral sources. It helps maintain accountability with the sales team and helps ensure that we are doing appropriate marketing to maintain a steady influx of cases. The weekly and quarterly sales reports that it can generate are incredibly helpful and insightful. They help inform us of what we need to focus on each quarter/year.

    Pros
    Apptivo Inc
    • Built in support for new users.
    • Basic crm works...just dont expect it do anything well beyond the basic.
    • Price.
    • Google Apps integration is better than a lot of the competition who charge and anwful lot more.
    • They are open to and try adapt quickly based on customer feedback.

    • Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
    • The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
    • The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed

    Cons
    Apptivo Inc
    • Dashboard and interface subsections are a bit clunky re: functionality.
    • Built-in email client isn't always a feasible option for efficiency (signatures are different, contacts don't always update accordingly).
    • Consistency and integration between apps is not always optimal.

    • Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
    • Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
    • Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

    Apptivo Inc
    Without a doubt, the best thing about Apptivo is that it has become a perfect internal and external communication platform. This platform will allow you to know who is taking care of certain tasks with clients and control all projects with your clients. With very affordable plans for your pocket, it has a free version for up to 3 users. It far surpasses quite a few CRMs in the same category. Apptivo CRM allows you to customize many details and work with it does not consume time or resources. You are faced with a very comfortable software to use, simple and well designed.

    Support Rating
    Apptivo Inc
    Apptivo is always quick to respond whenever we have had a problem over out time of using the program. The customer service reps are always very polite and professional in their responses and are very knowledgeable! I have never gone to them with a problem that they don't do everything in their power to help solve, and most times they have (abbreviating states is the only issue we weren't able to solve).

    Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

    The price was right for what we needed to use Apptivo for (the CRM and the contact management/project management models). And, we needed something basic and easy to implement so we could get up and running with little down time. The other systems we evaluated didn't seem to have the exact pricing and features/functionality we were looking for so we made the determination that Apptivo would be the best fit.

    I much prefer the interface of Pipedive when compared to Zoho. Much more user friendly and the team is always readily available when we need them. Pipedrive allowed for many custom integrations to be added, as Zoho was a tad more complicated to manipulate. We would not go back to Zoho in any case.

    • Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
    • We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
    • Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.
