Considered Both Products
GreenRope
Chose GreenRope
We were looking something that could add value to our company at a competitive price and we found that GreenRope was best for us. There is other software that has greater functionality and can be more intuitive to use than GreenRope, but the price you are paying for this …
Chose GreenRope
We were using Goldmine prior to transitioning to GreenRope. The cost of Goldmine was the main reason we went looking for another CRM software and discovered that Goldmine at the time did not have some of the features of GreenRope and the price was just right.
Chose GreenRope
GreenRope is much, much better than MailChimp. The functionality is much more sophisticated and the tracking metrics are a huge improvement.
Chose GreenRope
I use some of these softwares in conjunction with GreenRope. Simply put, one software cannot do everything. So I still like to use a combination of WordPress-centric software for my ecommerce. I use Edgar to schedule my social media only because it allows me to keep a library …
Chose GreenRope
Infusionsoft. Promised of lots of power. Got lots of "No"s when asking for anything non standard.

Compared with a dozen others. My favorite.
Chose GreenRope
Cost to implement made GreenRope a clear winner for me. It does everything I need for less money.
Chose GreenRope
GreenRope really got our attention because it's a full featured system at every price point. We are a small business with a small budget - but we wanted a system that would still let us think BIG! The setup fee was within for our budget, and the monthly fee is very reasonable. …
Chose GreenRope
I looked into both of the programs mentioned above and I truly appreciate the initial costs and training of GreenRope - the program is in my personal opinion much stronger that either of the two mentioned above and less threatening to get started with.
Chose GreenRope
Much easier to use. I can do it myself and don't have to use experts. Finally the cost is perfect for my start up.
Chose GreenRope
At the time I selected GreenRope for our business, Hatchbuck wasn't an option but Infusionsoft and HubSpot were. Since then, I have included Hatchbuck in my analyses for customers who are selecting new CRM/Marketing Automation software. Greenrope has all the functionality that …
Chose GreenRope
GreenRope does better with the customer database side of things.
Chose GreenRope
CC is a very good email marketing platform but lacks a holistic MA approach needed by marketers today.
Chose GreenRope
We chose GreenRope.com because they were the best fit. We already had a marketing email strategy with Constant Contact so choosing a CRM with those capabilities was very important when making our decision. Everything we were already doing could be in 1 place instead of needing …
Chose GreenRope
InfusionSoft was the only other system that I had looked at and really considered. In my opinion, GreenRope is very comparable with InfusionSoft, but better suited for new and/or growing businesses because it's easy to use, 3-hours of training is provided to help you customize …
Chose GreenRope
GreenRope is not the top end of features however it does include a variety of great features across the board like CRM and auto marketing combined. Whereas the competition only concentrates on one or the other. Of course if you are looking for a high end product then this …
Chose GreenRope
Greenrope is both easy to use and gave us ALL their software functionalities without having to pay to upgrade. Pricing is based on number of emails. Greenrope appears to have all what we're looking for, from setting up internal project tasks and todo's, accounting function with …
Chose GreenRope
We looked at a number of other products, including Salesforce, Microsoft, and many others. None compared from a price to value perspective, especially taking into account all the other modules that are included...not just CRM.
Less Annoying CRM
Chose Less Annoying CRM
Less Annoying CRM is so much easier to use and is at least as powerful if not more in the areas that matter to me as a small business owner. The way you do things in Less Annoying CRM are the ways that common sense would dictate you do them. It doesn't overcomplicate things …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
No CRM comes ready to run out of the box. But Less Annoying CRM is close to it. It all comes down to your needs . To get started Less Annoying CRM is by far the fastest and easiest route. Less Annoying CRM doesn't have all the bells and jingles rather more or less what you …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
Simpler and more versatile than Pipedrive, where I actually get to speak with a customer service rep rather than be provided instructional recorded videos when I need help.
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I used Salesforce in the past when I worked for a large corporation. Less Annoying CRM seems to be more user friendly and very simple to implement
Chose Less Annoying CRM
The name says it all. Less Annoying CRM is less annoying. I don't have to invest vast amounts of time learning or bypassing features I will never use. I don't have to pay for those features either. Less Annoying CRM is much more intuitive, so I don't have to waste type learning …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
We chose Less Annoying CRM because when searching for a good CRM, we found this program had everything we needed at an affordable rate. When you are a private business owner, you have several business expenses, so to get everything we needed in the price range that was also …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
HubSpot has a huge selection of tools, reports, integrations and supports that Less Annoying does not have.
It is not comparable in price or functionality - but I am comparing it because it was the last CRM I used before I used Less Annoying, and it made me realize that if you …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
Insightly turned out to be so rigid, it did not meet our needs. They were very hard to get in contact with, never by placing a call. And they have questionable business practices, forced us into paying for another year of service we had no intention of using. Their product …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I stopped using Salesforce because it has way too much stuff in it that I would never use. I consider LACRM a client management tool as well as a CRM, I don't need it to follow trends, forecast, or mass email. I am sure it may have some capabilities of these features but I will …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I used ACT! heavily in the 1990's to great success in my sales/account management job. It was a great tool at the time. But it seems ACT! hasn't kept up with the market and the current reviews reflect it - "clunky," "out of date," "cumbersome" were common in many of the …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I did not like Salesforce because it was over engineered for what a sales person. The cells were too small to read easily when entering contacts. There were lots of irrelevant cells in the contact form. Required fields (I know this was our administrator) were excessive and not …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
keap does better if you want to spend the money to create fully automated campaigns. If you want a CRM that helps manage prospect and clients Less Annoying CRM wins
Chose Less Annoying CRM
Less Annoying CRM is easier to use than all of the CRMs that I listed here, but I’m sure all those other ones have a place for those companies and I’m sure that they optimize the data flow and all that other good stuff. Frankly, Less Annoying CRM is just so much easier and …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
We just felt like ACT was being to feel archaic and simply for storage of information. I was tasked with finding an alternative, and found Less Annoying CRM while searching and comparing options. This will probably be my lasting legacy long after I retire from the company! …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I have used 5 separate CRM's in my career and Less Annoying CRM is the best due to it's simplicity and scope of knowledge that can be stored and retrieved. The amazing thing is it COSTS LESS. Tech support is great and you don't need to hire an outside firm to fix or set up …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
We looked at Industry CRM software but they were all too complicated and difficult to navigate and needed extensive training,
Chose Less Annoying CRM
Less Annoying CRM is far less expensive and not burdened with lots of useless (for me) features. It has exactly what I need and is very easy to use. Further, tech support is easily accessed and available.
Chose Less Annoying CRM
It's much more easy to navigate. Better website. Better overall look. More organized.

The price point and full featured application of GreenRope makes it perfect for small and medium sized businesses. GreenRope is an excellent alternative to some of the higher priced, better known CRM systems (Infusionsoft, AWeber, Ontraport, etc.). If you have specific requirements for your industry or business, GreenRope support will help to ensure that you get set up properly with what you need

Less Annoying CRM is an excellent system for us as we log everything we do with a customer and has easy access to the imfromation later. May sound "of course" but this is by far the easiest CRM I've ever worked with during my 30 years in sales. Follow-up and scheduling is easy managable as well as designing forms and fields our selves. Less Annoying CRM has a good list of plug'ins to other software for integrational puposes. Most important to us is support when needed. Less Annoying CRM excels in its support. Don't hesitate, it doesn't do everything, but get started and get surprised

Pros
  • Easy to get going with. They were great help in importing data from infusion soft. Great people to work with in training.
  • Low cost. This program is affordable for us little guys. Does what you need. Cost less than half of infusion soft for more.
  • Powerful. It lets me do all the things that I want. They are responsive to new feature requests too. When you make a suggestion you feel like it is heard and appreciated.

  • Simple, intuitive usage
  • Daily agenda emails
  • Ease of moving calendar / action items around, closing out
  • Customer service is extremely responsive, they don't hide behind a "contact us" form on their website as so many companies seem to do. You can readily reach them by phone!

Cons
  • The only thing I can say is that it has so many features that I do not think I have had the time to use and evaluate. I think I am probably missing out of a lot of great features.
  • GreenRope has many email templates but seem to be directed to specific industries like retail, restaurants, etc. Would like to see more email templates.

  • The one thing I was looking for is a place to manage multiple businesses with one project. Like if I am selling a "summer camp guide," I would like to have info for sales in one place with multiple contacts and businesses. LACRM customer service provided a workaround for me by suggesting I set up a specific pipeline for each project and them put each business in there. It is working great and, actually, a much better way to manage the project than I have originally intended.
  • I really don't have anything else to add. LACRM is perfect for us.

Likelihood to Renew
They have monthly renewals, so at any time you can cancel and not feel like they are holding your money. Their customer support is easy to work with. Their ticketing system to communicate with you about service issues is fantastic(which is included in the monthly fee) allows you to track issues. We use the ticketing system and add it to our website. This gives people the ability to communicate with us 24/7.

Usability
It takes time to learn this system. It is not going to happen over night, but once you master it it will be worth it. I am already seeing some great results, all I have to do is keep learning.

I knew nothing about CRMs, and within a day of purchasing Less Annoying CRM, I was able to set up my contacts list with custom fields. After a brief call to Customer Service, I was able to set up my first pipelines and understand how to use them. This CRM is so simple to use, and extremely versatile.

Support Rating
Many times I have to repeat the issue several times before the person understands correctly. There was also an instant where support was not available when help was needed, had to wait for a response and it was a business day.

Customer support is fantastic with these guys, they’re always very prompt to answer, and the team is very personable and easy to work with. I can’t really say much more than that, my interactions have been fairly limited, but what interactions I had, I can see without a shadow of a doubt they were very enjoyable and swift in resolving my issues.

Implementation Rating
I think there are some cheat sheets and best practises lists that could be created that would save a business a lot of time and frustration. BUT, even as it is, the frustrations and challenges disappear as things start working. I am going to be offering up a few of the tricks I have learned to the team at GreenRope to share with other users because when customers offer valuable work arounds that they find helpful to others, we accomplish a few things. The coders get an idea of things that aren't working quite as expected so they can look into fixes, other customers get benefit and we all win

After explaining that I was moving from Salesforce and the problems I was encountering, they took over and implemented the data in such a quick and efficient way, I was looking for the other shoe to drop but they did an amazing job so very impressed

Alternatives Considered
I use some of these softwares in conjunction with GreenRope. Simply put, one software cannot do everything. So I still like to use a combination of WordPress-centric software for my ecommerce. I use Edgar to schedule my social media only because it allows me to keep a library of posts -- otherwise, GreenRope replaces HootSuite. Outlook integrates (and RingCentral will soon). My business is too big to not have separate accounting (Xero) but GreenRope would be adequate for solos. GreenRope reduced my software quite a bit. It replaced Zoho, Infusionsoft, Mail Chimp, Access, Wufoo, Basecamp and InstantCustomer. It's not a great project management software, but it serves my needs for managing the pre-engagement process and nurture processes. GreenRope is best as a CRM and it forms a central part of my overall business technology machine.

Return on Investment
  • GR has made our company much more organized from client details/history, sales work flow, email campaigns, website tracking and lead conversions.
  • We have grown our business 60% in the last 12 months. GR definitely helped us reach that growth.
  • Prior to GR we did everything the old fashioned way. I don't have anything to compare it to because we had no prior experience with another CRM provider. I can say that I am truly happy with our progress in GR and learning the program was pretty easy.

  • Not just storage of information, but utilizing that information to build stronger relationships with clients
  • Because it's web-based, we can be at our desk or on the road and still have the full functionality of the CRM at our fingertips, which helps us keep focusing on sales!
