Chose Agile CRM
Agile is more user-friendly and better sits our needs due to tagging, workflows, and its campaign structures. However, we are considering moving away due to support and email issues.
Chose Agile CRM
It used to be great, but that was 5 years ago. [In my opinion], its more recent takeover by 500 Apps is a disaster and the systems are broken.
Chose Agile CRM
It was able to do most of the functions needed but was the most cost-effective to get us started. If you are a new company and looking to get started with a CRM start here for a year or two and when you have the money you can pay for one of the bigger players. This platform …
Chose Agile CRM
I have used Microsoft 365 and older DOS-based programs, both of which have clunky interfaces, are not very user friendly, and are very hard to customize for information. For example, to have a searchable function in 365, we had to add a window and put our search words in the …

Agile is much more cost effective than Salesforce for some of the projects we do.

It works better than other systems because of different factors such as the effective customer portal, the ability to email the case facility directly, the chat/live support experience, the social integration experiences such as Twitter, Facebook, the ability to make, receive, …

The price is far more affordable for a startup with Agile, however, HubSpot has far better features and support.

Saleforce - Too expensive.
SugarCRM - Versatile. Free. But Slow.

Chose Agile CRM
I trialed a number of other CRMs much to the disgust of my colleagues!

  • Pipedrive was great but more sales focussed and heavy on Javascript so felt slow at times
Chose Agile CRM
Agile CRM did most of what PipeDrive did, some of what Hubspot does, and a range of other stuff that I was starry eyed about at the outset. but I eventually concluded that a jack-of-all-trades was not what i was looking for. And while the support team tried, they didn't have …
Chose Agile CRM
Agile CRM is much less expensive than salesforce. It might not have all the potential of those thousands of add-ons, but for those who have basic needs – and the need to customize to some extent, it more than delivers.
Agile CRM has more advanced features, particularly around …
Chose Agile CRM
Much easier to set up against Zoho.
User-friendly against Zoho.
Team acceptance against Zoho.

User Testimonials
Agile CRMLinked Helper
Likelihood to Recommend
Until the email issues are resolved I cannot recommend agile for any function. The email delivery rate has halved in the last six months and halved again in the last two with no resolution in sight. The customer service discussions start from zero information anytime suggesting agile are not writing notes or using a ticketing system to track customers' complaints. This results in our staff having to send emails manually and f=defeating the purpose of the system.

At the end of the day, Linked Helper isn't just a tool for us – it's an essential part of our team. It helps us navigate the complexities of LinkedIn with a human touch, forging connections that lead to meaningful partnerships and business growth. It's like another member of our growth team:)

Pros
  • The set-up was simple. We ran into a snag with my domain verification, but Agile support worked with me to get it resolved.
  • I love being able to create several scripts based on persona. You can easily use a rule to display the appropriate script for each contact.
  • Even team members new to CRM were able to grasp it and be efficient within a few hours - it's simple to navigate.

  • Identifying and connecting with potential clients and partners.
  • Nurturing leads through personalized messaging sequences.
  • Generating qualified leads for our business development efforts.
  • Analyzing the performance of our outreach campaigns and optimizing strategies accordingly.

Cons
  • The email template building tool is inflexible although it is simple to use and looks nice if you can work within its parameters.
  • Customer Support is not committed to finding answers and providing the best solutions. Many times each support person has a different answer or fixing a bug will take up to 2 weeks to address. They do not seem to understand that they are an online marketing platform that requires solutions within hours (or maybe days) and not weeks.
  • At some point in mid-2021, the process for sending out emails to 10s of thousands of contacts stopped functioning as simply and effectively as it had in the past. My staff (which I use as test cases) was no longer receiving emails, even though it showed in the system that they had received it (and no, it wasn't in spam). The bandaids that they provided me would work for one or two mailings and then stop working again. I was regularly trying to get customer support to find my answers but they were never able to solve my problem. The basic functionality that I appreciated - sending out nicely formatted email newsletters - is now completely gone and the platform is useless for our needs.
  • The reporting tools are awful and poorly configured. Querying on groups of people is inconsistent and inaccurate. There is no segmentation feature that I found that was actually effective.

  • Have better pre settings that will not
  • You will lose your LinkedIn bc LinkedIn considers it cheating on their platform
  • LinkedIn says you are not supposed to use this so use and lose your LinkedIn.

There was a little bit of a learning curve and some bumps along the way to managing this platform, but AgileCRM appears to be responsive to any challenges that arise, which I consider to be of vital importance.

Usability
The tool has an affordable cost and is better than some market competitors. For delivering a great experience with a friendly user interface, low price, great technical support and several features that contribute to IT, sales and marketing teams, I recommend Agile CRM to friends and colleagues looking for such a solution.

Reliability and Availability
The training sessions are very helpful, because you have specialist that is available to answer any questions, guide you and coach you on how to dominate a certain feature of the platform. That being said,Whenever I have an issue that needs to be resolved, I can send email or call a support line. I usually use the support line.

Support Rating
The support is good but most of them are in India so heavy accents but if you can work past that they are very helpful and get the job done. What's good about that is they offer all types of hours for support not just 9-5 which I liked because I was able to get to support when I was building in the late-night hours when I couldn't get something to work.

Return on Investment
  • It may be me but I spent a disproportionate amount of time figuring out how to derive more ROI from Agile CRM. The functionality and facilities were there but I eventually gave up as it was taking too much time and attention.
