Copper vs. Vtiger

Copper has helped me extensively keep track of not only my own but my company's workflow. With so many projects and quotes to track, it has become essential to keep me on task and not miss any of our goals. It has been a perfect fit with our specific workflow, but I don't think it has the customizability just yet to be a perfect fit for every company out there.

Vtiger has evolved in the interfaces design. You can access all required data from one screen, similar to a control data. You have also sales and support dashboards predefined, but you can create your own. As less appropriate the templates design, it has not evolved from old versions of Vtiger.

• The Google integration and Chrome extension automatically tracks and updates prospect and lead activity in the CRM. Data entry is simplified.
• Copper is a very user-friendly CRM with the ability to create custom fields, multiple pipelines, sales stages, etc. It is truly customizable and far less complex than other CRMs I have used in the past.
• Copper makes it simple to add leads manually, through Gmail or using a template and uploading a large list.
• Great support. We are very happy with our account management team and they strive to make sure we are getting the most out of the platform.
• Pricing is very competitive.

• I love reporting. I can build a custom report using all or any of the dimensions of my choice. This is great when other programs often limit this ability.
• I like that is a source of truth across the organization. We can all go in and see the same thing.
• This also works for communication with our teams in other countries. We are a global organization.

• Window change: for mobile - when you tap on a card from a pipeline it takes you to the lead’s basic info. I wish it would immediately just open all activities so I can quick see notes
• I usually use Copper on the go. When you open the Copper app, it immediately opens a collab window. I wish it had some sort of easy dashboard….plus a notes area. I open Copper on mobile to quickly search for someone’s name or to take quick notes from a sales meeting

• Although Vtiger integrates well with email, like most CRM systems it assumes that you have one email system and therefore it is less suitable for use cases where multiple email systems need to be supported.
• Although Vtiger supports Twitter it does not support other social media systems in the same way. You can tailor the system to hold the URLs of your contacts' social media profiles but if SM is a big thing for your organization then there are better systems available.

I would rate Copper overall usability as a 10. It is easy to use. I am not extremely computer friendly so I needed to find something that would fit what I can do. Copper definitely fit the bill. I would highly recommend it to anyone of any level of computer knowledge.

In the Last versions they have done a strong effort in creating a powerful data screen. Inside the screen you have access to signing, communications with multiple tools integration and connections with all modules related. With a single view you have all control over your data relations. It is similar to a control managing.

It has been so far so good, they have been quick to respond to queries, and do follow up as well. But then again this is a work in progress and I guess they would not have a solution to every problem every posed to them right away. Hence I will refrain from making any judgments.

there is not much problem in using CRM. There were times it was lagging or bugging, but later on it will be fixed and I can use it again.

In all fairness, other CRM tools I have used were set up by a corporate IT person who knew much more than I do about programming. Therefore, those were easy to use and had the features I expected them to have. Whereas I, with minimal IT experience, set up Copper by myself. It works very well for what we do, so it is a very user-friendly program.

The selection of vTiger was done by my management team to be able to see invoicing status in Quickbooks. Unfortunately, this feature has never worked but I think this might be a problem on our end, not a vTiger issue. We looked at Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, and ACT before making the switch to vTiger

• The ability to nurture abandoned prospects via Sequences has proven to be a great tool for our Business Development Team. Rather than leaving the nurturing to Marketing, the BD Team is able to play a more active role in reviving abandoned Opportunities with a higher potential for conversion to clients.
• Probably the biggest positive impact Copper has had for our company is its ability to export to Sheets. As a financial services company, we live inside of spreadsheets and are constantly crunching numbers. Being able to pull important data out of Copper and into a tool like sheets has allowed us to create a robust series of charts and metrics enabling us to tweak our performance for the better.
• The biggest negative impact Copper has had on our overall business might be in the inability to track interactions between members of our company that don't have Copper licenses. While we don't need every member of our company to use all of the features within the CRM platform, the lack of email tracking for all people within our company causes the interaction counts for prospects/clients to be skewed and not reflect the true count of total interactions.
