User Testimonials
Gold-VisionMethod:CRM
Likelihood to Recommend
It is the best available solution for small businesses due to the licensing model and the ease of use. For companies like us who implement this for customers, it is easy to implement and train users. Larger companies would prefer to use existing products that have been developed for their specific industry or department.

Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

Pros
  • Can be easily integrated with products like Sage or Outlook which most small companies use. This provides us with a great customer base.
  • It is quick to deploy and most of our customers start using the solutions in less than a week.
  • Very intuitive which makes training our customer easy and causes few support calls.

  • The customization team is brilliant!
  • The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
  • The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
  • I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

Cons
  • In the latest version, the user interfaces has been greatly improved. Some customers disliked the older version.
  • Nothing else to complain about, maybe it can be made cheaper?

  • I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
  • The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well. If you are looking for a CRM product or any business process automation software that integrates with QuickBooks, you have to look at Method CRM

I'm fairly new to the company and have only been using Method for the last year and the ease of use has been a blessing for me. I've self trained on most of the aspects and have incorporated new operations in the company, based on what Method has to offer, that have enhanced the productivity for all associates.

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient.

Alternatives Considered
Probably the most important aspect would be the licensing model which makes it affordable for all businesses. Can be adapted to the business without having to change the business model around the CRM product.

We were using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for a very long time. However, the software is archaic and dated. Method allows us to step into the 21st century. We now have much more online / automated interactions with our customers. We like that Method also lets us customize a great deal of the software to our exact needs and wants

Return on Investment
  • It really filled a gap in the market where small business could not afford expensive CRM solutions.
  • As we are implementing this as a solutions for our customers we don't pay for it, but it provides a monthly income from supporting the infrastructure this has been deployed on.

  • Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
  • It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
  • It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.
