For a small company, just getting started with a CRM package, Claritysoft is great. Better to have something rather than nothing at all to keep up with these things we use and need in Sales.

I think that for a company that creates any sales and needs to house their client information, the Base is perfect. The price of the program makes it completely worth the investment. And to be able to use customizations makes it possible for any business that does sales use Base for their orders. I would say for companies that use legal contracts or binding contracts for their business, Base may be too simple for their needs. We work in tandem with a company that always has contracts going back and forth, and the build out of the customizations here weren't really going to work for them.

  • There was no ability to add prospects from a company domain or email to auto-fill any data.
  • You had to type in all of the data you gathered about that prospect.
  • The default only gave you two phone numbers for the company, too few.

The integration with the other Zendesk products is key. Allows other people in the company, such as support, to be involved in the sales process.

Usability
It is VERY, VERY, simple and easy to use and learn. All I needed was a super brief 30 minute overview to understand how to use it, and their Customer Support is pretty good. I was raised on Salesforce, which is much more complicated, but allows you to do so much more.

I received about two hours worth of training on Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM). I will say it's a clean look and the ability to change views is extremely helpful. I do wish there were other features that allowed the views to be more simplistic. Some views can be overwhelming to look at. Nevertheless with the minimum training, I am still able to navigate through Zendesk Sell (formerly Base CRM) successfully due to the ease of usability.

They are very helpful and quick whenever I have a question about Claritysoft CRM. I think the guy I've spoken with is named Evan, and he's been very helpful. Claritysoft, give the man a raise if you know who I'm talking about. He responds super quick with truly helpful insights.

Due to the ease of the product, I have not had the chance to reach out to support yet. I’ve had no reason. The resources provided to clients are extremely helpful and detailed. So far my questions have been pretty basic and I generally just ask my colleague or teammate. They're able to assist with the answer.

This product has a great backing of users, but needs more options direct from Base CRM on all operations of the software. YouTube videos do a great job of helping implement, and the back end support is a great help as well. The CRM is a great free option, and should be treated as such.

Alternatives Considered
In my opinion, Claritysoft is like a second grader, and Salesforce is like a college graduate when it comes to what you can do and learn from the software. Salesforce integrates easily with other products we use, such as ZoomInfo, but Claritysoft is extremely limited in what it can integrate with. Salesforce costs more money though, so it really depends how you utilize the CRM to know what you need. Just a big address book to log calls and emails? I think Claritysoft is fine. Want to track actual sales and forecast? I think Salesforce 100%.

Zendesk Sell is not as robust as other leading CRM tools I have used in the past like Salesforce. Salesforce is the market leader and is always leading the way in innovation. Salesforce objects management is better simpler and allows the user to customize different screens and have different dashboards for reporting reasons. This is definitely a good alternative to Salesforce especially if you are currently using any other Zendesk products like Zendesk support.

Return on Investment
  • It has made it easier to see our overall sales for each sales rep.
  • The only negative is that we cannot change over the account, contacts, leads, and opportunities with one ownership field. You have to do each one separate and when you are transferring 1000 clients this takes much too long to do. No reason for it.

  • Increased efficiency with a central hub for all of our customer data.
  • Workflows are easy to set up and beneficial for us.
  • Received minimum training, therefore it's easy to navigate.
  • Reduced employee costs. Employees can spend more time completing other important tasks.
