Chose Capsule CRM
We chose Capsule CRM over Zoho CRM due to the various modules that it would take for Zoho CRM to work for our firm. Additional Zoho modules would have been needed (Zoho CRM and Projects) to make it work for us which in turn requires additional management. With Capsule CRM, …

Chose Capsule CRM
We simply could not afford to use the other platforms and felt this was the best choice for now! And, we're really happy with our decision because it includes everything we had wanted, and at a better price. We refer a lot of clients to this product and train them on how to use …

I also looked at Less Annoying CRM. However, capsule integrated with G-suite better, looked better to use and had a free version.

It stacks up pretty well in basic features but lags behind in terms of CRM features and support, there is a lack of features as compared to the multitude of these software and support only exists over mail, a live chat feature would be much appreciated, integration with …

We have researched various other programs including Zoho CRM, HubSpot, Salesforce and Insightly. Each has its pros and cons, but we chose Capsule CRM due to their integration with our email marketing and accounting software and the scalability of the product for our small …
Chose Capsule CRM
Capsule CRM is a great lightweight CRM that is easy to use and has all the features a small CRM would need. The free version is really great for a company not ready to start paying for a CRM but just needs to use a CRM for a feature like contact management.

CRM Is by far the best CRM I have used for small businesses. However, I find Pipedrive the better option for bigger businesses.
Chose Capsule CRM
SuiteCRM, & SugarCRM were the other final contenders when I chose Capsule CRM. I don't remember what was the final factor in making a decision, but I know that the amount of database you can get for free was really my main consideration, and the ability to grow into the paid …
Chose Capsule CRM
Salesforce was a complete failure for us because it did way too much. The learning curve was too steep, it was too expensive, and it didn't fit us overall (we're a very small business).
Insightly was clumsy and didn't have the flexibility (and huge amount of integrations) that …

Using Capsule CRM, businesses can have a perfect CRM solution without the risk of being forced to pay on a monthly subscription basis. Compared to other customer relationship management apps, it has a wide range of unique features. Functional and cost-effective are the main advantages. Because we're a small company, its simplicity appeals to us greatly. For a limited time, start-ups can store up to 250 contacts in the free version. Capsule CRM is well-suited to Gmail and offers many other integration possibilities. Even though it lacks some more powerful CRM features, the Capsule platform makes up for this with a widespread list of integrations.

Contalog easy to understand and does not require additional training at all. The inventory management system works fine and now we are able to track our stock levels across multiple channels.

Pros
  • Capsule is very easy to use. You can just jump in and learn as you go. There are advantages to really learning the ins and outs, but for those who aren't sold on a CRM to begin with it's good for just getting them started. It is what you make of it--you can use the most basic features or really dive in to the many functionalities.
  • The UI is clean and intuitive. We don't get easily overwhelmed while using it.
  • Capsule has a very robust contact management system. It allows for the generation of very specific lists within existing contacts, which is good if the user has to keep track of thousands of individuals and companies. There is a tagging feature that is great for further organizing contacts.
  • I like that there is a simple workflow option. I encourage the sales guys to make use of this "Tracks" feature, and they often do (but if they don't, it's not the end of the world, which is nice). It provides custom sets of tasks that are created as soon as you start an opportunity or a case.
  • Capsule has a LOT of integrations, which is great if you're looking to expand what you do with your CRM. We got Capsule just to keep track of the sales pipeline, but now that everyone's on board with the concept of a CRM (they weren't sold at first!) we can look into implementing more robust programs that can "talk to" Capsule.

Cons
  • Its integration with Mail chimp is not smooth. Also, it does not allow to list contacts alphabetically which is a great downside of this tool. It does not contain some essential marketing features.
  • It needs to improve the user interface and make it more productive especially on the calendar view.
  • The contact sorting is quite disappointing. It would be nice if it allows users to set screen filters.

Capsule CRM effectively specifies the causes of any project's disadvantage and problem-solving. This application is effortless because of its genuine approach to business empowerment. Everything is easily accessible with a single click. Our clients will appreciate our technical and user-friendly promotions. Furthermore, it is well worth our company's time to run.

Return on Investment
  • Capsule CRM software not only interprets with resource planning but maintains the customer relationship at its peak.
  • This software is altogether a big package to promote and control the business movements on a high scale
  • This application tends to work with all versions but, there is no plan to cop up with the R13 version so, the latest version should have all effects to compensate for the business dealings.
