Cloze vs. Shared Contacts for Gmail

Cloze makes automatic decisions that often make no sense and you don't discover those mistakes unless it's too late. I would prefer Cloze to be less "Intelligent" and prompt the user more often to make specific decisions. Cloze is a good tool as an email system with great analytics on the contacts and on the emails. The user interface is far too full of information, it’s too much not to be distracted. It would be great if it was simplified. I do not recommend it as a Sales CRM because it’s very complicated to manage the deals and the contacts involved in every deal. Cloze needs a total and profound refurbishment.

When working with several people at the same time, being able to access the full directory [with Shared Contracts for Gmail] makes things 100% easier. Provides a faster look at the company wide directory and grants access to contact whoever is needed. Now if its a company like mine; merged between two, sometimes it becomes a little complicated, due to the fact that it doesn't recognize some email domains (outlook based) and can cause problems sometimes when sending emails (you get an undeliverable email response, and sometimes the emails do get send and other they don't). And they won't pop-out as easy as a recommendation. First you would get the gmail based email and then the 'outsider' email.

The ONLY issue that I have is there is ZERO phone customer service or training. Everything is done online or via email, which sucks in my opinion, but they always do get back to you.

They don't, they say they are a personal contact manager but I believe they are wanting large companies that have their own IT Departments as they don't really offer that good of support in my opinion and they do not have phone support. I wouldn't recommend this software to anyone for personal or business.

Shared Contacts for Gmail is amazing to use when you need a lot of contact information on the go. If there's a medium level organization that needs a contact network that is easily accessible for remote work. I wouldn't recommend this for organizations whos works are based on leads and immediate revenue.
