EngageBay vs. Veeva CRM

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.

Veeva CRM is best used in areas of Pharma companies or Animal Health based organizations. It adapts to the Health regulations which makes it easier for inventory and order management.

• The UI is a bit outdated and the system is somewhat lacking flexibility overall
• The reporting functionalities are very limited - it's great to gather data but a 3rd party solution is needed to get some meaning out of it
• Pricing. Veeva are big and therefore not that flexible. This does not make them the most small/midsize customer friendly

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.

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.

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.

As Veeva CRM is built on Salesforce' platform, both solutions have rather similar look, feel and offered set of functionalities. Veeva CRM is geared up specifically for the pharmaceutical industry - to my understanding, there is an agreement between the companies, preventing Salesforce.com from stepping into the pharma market. So if you are familiar with the Salesforce.com experience - from the solution to their implementation, training and support approaches - you can expect similar from Veeva (CRM).
