User Testimonials
EngageBayLess Annoying CRM
Likelihood to Recommend
I would absolutely recommend EngageBay to any customer looking to switch from Marketo or Salesforce that wanted a cheaper solution while still highly effective. Those platforms require hands-on integration consultants and full-time employees that know how to handle those CRMs. This CRM is easy to use for any beginner marketer.

Less Annoying CRM is an excellent system for us as we log everything we do with a customer and has easy access to the imfromation later. May sound "of course" but this is by far the easiest CRM I've ever worked with during my 30 years in sales. Follow-up and scheduling is easy managable as well as designing forms and fields our selves. Less Annoying CRM has a good list of plug'ins to other software for integrational puposes. Most important to us is support when needed. Less Annoying CRM excels in its support. Don't hesitate, it doesn't do everything, but get started and get surprised

  • The one thing I was looking for is a place to manage multiple businesses with one project. Like if I am selling a "summer camp guide," I would like to have info for sales in one place with multiple contacts and businesses. LACRM customer service provided a workaround for me by suggesting I set up a specific pipeline for each project and them put each business in there. It is working great and, actually, a much better way to manage the project than I have originally intended.
  • I really don't have anything else to add. LACRM is perfect for us.

Usability
EngageBay's incredibly easy to use. I was able to pick up the CRM and start using right away with little issues. Anyone with basic CRM knowledge should be able to get started on EngageBay easy. Their customer service team also makes onboarding very easy and will work with you on any issue.

I knew nothing about CRMs, and within a day of purchasing Less Annoying CRM, I was able to set up my contacts list with custom fields. After a brief call to Customer Service, I was able to set up my first pipelines and understand how to use them. This CRM is so simple to use, and extremely versatile.

Support Rating
Their support team is incredibly response, with a livechat option anytime during business hours. I was able to work with them on a variet of issues and they were extremely hands-on. The same reps are always there and friendly and ready to work with. There isn't a CRM that has better customer service.

Customer support is fantastic with these guys, they’re always very prompt to answer, and the team is very personable and easy to work with. I can’t really say much more than that, my interactions have been fairly limited, but what interactions I had, I can see without a shadow of a doubt they were very enjoyable and swift in resolving my issues.

After explaining that I was moving from Salesforce and the problems I was encountering, they took over and implemented the data in such a quick and efficient way, I was looking for the other shoe to drop but they did an amazing job so very impressed

Alternatives Considered
Salesforce and Marketo are the strongest CRM products out there in the space. The drawback they have is that they are immensely expensive and complex to set-up / use. Salesforce is extremely complex, especially when using in conjunction with Pardot. EngageBay is simple, easy to use, and easy to build from. And their customer service is far more responsive than those platforms.

Less Annoying CRM is so much easier to use and is at least as powerful if not more in the areas that matter to me as a small business owner. The way you do things in Less Annoying CRM are the ways that common sense would dictate you do them. It doesn't overcomplicate things to show how smart the engineers that designed it were.
