Worth every rand once the automation was built

Six reps, eighteen months in, and the pipeline is the most accurate it has ever been. New reps productive within a morning. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

New reps productive within a morning. Automation handles the follow up sequence reps used to forget. The pipeline view gives an honest picture of the month.

What does not

Billing in dollars makes the annual budget a moving target.

Reps update it without being nagged

Six reps, eighteen months in, and the pipeline is the most accurate it has ever been. New reps productive within a morning. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

New reps productive within a morning. Quoting from the record removed a handoff to admin. The pipeline view gives an honest picture of the month.

What does not

The features we needed sat one tier above the one we were quoted.

Used for 6 to 12 months

Exchange rate makes budgeting a yearly argument

We use about a third of it and pay for all of it. Activity based selling keeps the pipeline current by design. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

Strong mobile app for people working between meetings. Setup was fast.

What does not

The interface is dense for a new user. There is no local accounting integration without Zapier.

The pipeline is finally accurate

The automation removed about four hours a week of follow up admin per rep. Strong mobile app for people working between meetings. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Activity based selling keeps the pipeline current by design. Automation handles the follow up sequence reps used to forget. Reporting answers the questions the sales meeting actually asks.

What does not

Billing in dollars makes the annual budget a moving target.

Capable, but the team resisted it for months

Fine product, and the dollar billing makes the budget conversation annoying. The highest CRM adoption rate we see in our review set. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Fine for our needs. Test it properly against your own requirements.

What works

New reps productive within a morning. Setup was fast.

What does not

The interface is dense for a new user. Support escalation is slow on technical issues.

Forecast is within five percent every month

We moved off a spreadsheet and the difference in forecast quality was immediate. Strong mobile app for people working between meetings. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

What works

Activity based selling keeps the pipeline current by design. The mobile app works well enough for a rep between meetings. The pipeline view gives an honest picture of the month.

The features we needed sat one tier above the one we were quoted.

Fine once we stopped trying to use everything

We use about a third of it and pay for all of it. The highest CRM adoption rate we see in our review set. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. Good value, with some real rough edges.

What works

Strong mobile app for people working between meetings. The interface is clear once you learn it.

What does not

There is no local accounting integration without Zapier. The interface is dense for a new user.

Onboarding a new rep takes longer than it should.
