Teamgate CRM vs. Zendesk Sell

Any SME or mid company that needs to track customers and sales can use this platform

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.

• The reminders module is a timekeeper that helps us not forget deadlines, and tasks because we get alerts.
• The auto dialer saves a lot of time by allowing us to reach out to leads faster.
• Integrations with google and mail chimp make our life easier because all Gmail emails are saved in Teamgate.
• The reports and graphs provide clarity of how the company is doing.

• Integrates well with FullContact, Slack via Zapier, and Gmail and google calendar.
• Excellent mobile app for iPhone lets salespeople have data at their fingertips and enter notes at conferences, in elevators, wherever.
• Does all the basic things a salesperson needs to be productive, contacts capture, deal capture, documents, smart linking of contacts to deals, and nice reminder features.

• Could do with the ability to customise the dashboard with your own fields.

• 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 product exceeds our needs usability-wise.

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.

I rated this product an 8 for overall usability because Teamgate is very user-friendly and this helps the CRM meet the required use case that companies who buy it have. The feature to sign in from anywhere that has a net connection is huge For example the home page being the leads section and the fact that each lead has all the past and current communication with the potential client allows support agents, and the sales team to be on the same page I didn't give it a 10 because the slowness issue affects performance and usability.

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.

I haven't had to contact the support team as of yet but my co-worker expressed his frustration with the amount of technical product knowledge the Teamgate support team had. He said he felt he knew the product better than the Teamgate helpdesk.

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.

Simple, and straight forward.

When I say we evaluated other CRMs I think that's an understatement, we tried about ten different systems and Teamgate was by far the best.

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.

The sales team can use this product as much as the support as lead generating teams.

Always on, always available.
