    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.

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Field Service is [...] one of the best tools when it comes to delivering on-site service to customer locations. Organizations can follow [a] proactive and predictive service model by using Connected Field Service, [which] provides capabilities to connect to IoT devices and to remotely diagnose, monitor, and service the devices by integrating with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and using Microsoft Azure IoT Hub PaaS offering.

    Cons
    Method Integration Inc.
    • It would be great if we could attach files to a lead or account in general and not just in an activity or opportunity.
    • All custom fields do not show up as options for a view when searching for leads or customers within certain parameters.

    • Being a part of Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Apps and as it uses Power Platform, to fully leverage all the features and understand its capabilities, one has to know those related products and technologies also.
    • Field Service Mobile support is ending in June 2022, and transitioning to the new Field Service (Dynamics 365) [so that] is something the existing customers would have to plan [for].

    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

    Usability
    Method Integration Inc.
    Method has a great overall "usability". Once we started using the software; it did not take long before we were able to start editing our own web lead forms, email templates, etc. I think there is a learning curve however the learning curve is not bad. Anyone looking for a cloud CRM should start here

    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.

    We chose Method:CRM for the QuickBooks integration. It was important for us to have integrations that allowed us to view payments, organize our contacts, and manage our sales force. There were some learning curves, however, such as creating activities, leads, customers and making sure our payments were being logged appropriately. I do wish that payments would be added to the calendar automatically so that the sales rep could view and make a phone call letting them know their invoice is due.

    Return on Investment
    Method Integration Inc.
    • 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.
