Agile CRM vs. User.com

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

The performance of AgileCRM has been acceptable to date. I'm pleased with the ability to modify leads in the system and search for them and add groups to campaigns.

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.

Each section of the AgileCRM platform has an instructional video that describes in detail all of the features of that section. I found this to be very instructional way to learn about each section. Whenever I had more questions, I could always schedule a conference call with a tutor..

Once I get everything set up, everything started to flow and I can see the major benefit of this platform to my business

Agile CRM is an all-in-one CRM tool that is easy to use and cost-efficient depending on your business needs. Agile is a very effective CRM system and can quickly access your customer/prospect information. Agile's ability to integrate the marketing automation, CRM, telephony, and analytics with current company procedures and solutions makes it difficult to consider other similar tools.

• 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.
