Aptean CRM vs. Method:CRM

This is a solid basic platform. It's not Salesforce but it IS integrated with IntuitiveERP and is included in the price. For the cost, you certainly can't get this type of functionality in other small CRM packages. If you have IntuitiveERP already and are looking to move towards a CRM package it's certainly a way to help you get your footing before deciding you need a larger scale package, but I don't know that you'd want to invest in Intuitive JUST for their CRM cycle.

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.

• Simple: it isn't too convoluted with too many features
• Flexible: user-defined fields are able to be added to every segment of both opportunities and incidents
• Dynamic: Integrates with the existing ERP system to pass customer and vendor data back and forth

• The customization team is brilliant!
• The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
• The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
• I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

Incentivized

• I was expecting some more flexibility in it.
• Its customer support is highly non-vigilant and should learn how to work responsibly.

Incentivized

• I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
• The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

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

Its simple yet full-fledged interface is doing wonders in making our work time- effective. It is not just cost-effective but the marketing automation and sales force automation has proved very beneficial for us. By the grace of its reports, we can analyze intricacies.

I'm fairly new to the company and have only been using Method for the last year and the ease of use has been a blessing for me. I've self trained on most of the aspects and have incorporated new operations in the company, based on what Method has to offer, that have enhanced the productivity for all associates.

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

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.

My expectations with Salesforce.com were quite high but it was a useless tool as it didn’t concede the nature of our work and had not had enough features to make our work manageable and we have witnessed no change in our customer relationship management but on the other side if I look at Aptean then it is far beyond words in its working capabilities.

We were using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for a very long time. However, the software is archaic and dated. Method allows us to step into the 21st century. We now have much more online / automated interactions with our customers. We like that Method also lets us customize a great deal of the software to our exact needs and wants

• This is its other major feature that I consider as its strength as Salesforce automation helps in saving time.
• I am highly invigorated by the working capacity and the way it manages customer relations.
• It lacks Mobile access and any kind of web portal and it is a major drawback.

Incentivized

• 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.
