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 hasn't kept up with the market and the current reviews reflect it - "clunky," "out of date," "cumbersome" were common in many of the …

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
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.
monday.com
Chose monday.com
It's been a while since trying Asana, so it's hard to say. I think they are very similar from what I remember, but maybe monday.com has more reporting and customization possibilities?
Chose monday.com
monday.com offer much of the standard tools and seems to be ever evolving. They seem to take feedback and constantly upgrade the tools. If all the tools are there, the differentiating factor might be the cost, any integrations you may need, and the visual "chemistry". To me, …
Chose monday.com
We chose to move from Zoho to monday.com when our company started growing exponentially. Overall, our team was thankful for the change because we were growing at far to fast of a speed for Zoho's tools to keep up with us. monday.com is a better, beefier platform with far better …
Chose monday.com
We decided to go with monday.com because they offered a free tier for nonprofits and because they are easier to use and offered additional features that we could not find on the other choices. Hands down, there was no better choice for us than monday.com.
Chose monday.com
When I arrived at my org, I was initially disappointed to hear that we used something other than Asana for project management. Fast forward just a few months, and I became a complete monday.com convert. While its organization is similar to Asana's, it's user interface, …
Chose monday.com
We use Jira, Confluence, Miro and the full Salesforce stack and it's very reliable as are the other softwares.
Chose monday.com
I would say this is one of my least favorite applications. I don't find it super user friendly due to the extreme amounts of customization. It feels like my information is in there somewhere, but I can never find it easily. I think that it looks a lot prettier than asana which …
Chose monday.com
monday.com seems to solve the issues and concerns for our marketing and graphics needs. I personally use Asana for my projects and tracking purposes and monday.com for my interations with Marketing and their needs.
Chose monday.com
monday.com is much easier to use and offers all the tools of google suite in one spot for task management. I use gsuite services still but in an entirely different way. If there is something that needs to be shared with the team or is important that I will need to refer back to …
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is the broadest scope work management software I have used. Its interface is basic and takes some getting used to, but the programming options are highly advanced and extremely effective.
Chose monday.com
I also use the other selected. But I prefer monday.com because it is more clear (visually and intuitively), and also because I have been using it for longer than the others. However, there is the price factor that must be taken into consideration
Chose monday.com
Monday.com is far more intuitive than Salesforce with it's automation features, lists are better and customizable and it makes things easier for everyone on the team.

Salesforces is a great CRM system but I feel as though it falls short as a collaborative project management …
Chose monday.com
As a developer, I have utilized the mentioned apps to integrate processes for clients, and I have found monday.com to be superior due to its abundance of features compared to others. Choosing monday.com provides enough capabilities for teams and managers to handle work in one …
Chose monday.com
monday.com is a much better tool for keeping track of tasks and assignments than MS Planner. In most situations where we used MS Planner we have switched to using monday.com instead.
Chose monday.com
The best aspect of monday.com in my opinion is the Visual Based Data Representation(s)
Chose monday.com
monday.com is so much easier to use & project-tracking is not only easy to do, but the visuals are far from complicated & make it that much easier to keep track of everything.
Chose monday.com
I feel monday.com is easier to use than the others listed. Specifically, I used to use Trello in the past and I really liked it. I even recommended others to use it but since working in monday.com, I found it has so many more features that meet our teams needs and we have found …
Chose monday.com
monday.com has the only interface that is 100% customizable, can use public and private boards, can be shared with customers, produce Gantt charts, and has THE MOST integrations "in house". The professional relationships that monday.com has established to be "on board" with …
Chose monday.com
I searched for some other alternatives like monday.com, and I also tried them. For example, I have experience with Sloneek. But monday.com just feels different. I think it beats the competition in every way. You can also use monday's free version, and it is still a good task …
Chose monday.com
I chose monday.com because of its flexibility and ability to adapt to our needs. Throughout our work, I've seen how it helps us increase productivity and efficiency, which solidified my decision.
Chose monday.com
Compared to the competition, monday.com has better control, more possibilities for use, and the price is very acceptable.
Chose monday.com
The easy of use and configuration is where monday.com has had an advantage. The ability for all our users to startup on the platform has helped to incorporate it into our enterprise environment quickly.
Chose monday.com
Actually, monday.com and Trello, although they are digital board systems, are both very different from each other. Trello is a simpler system that, although its function is also the organization of tasks, its visual system gradually overwhelms the user by "piling up" each post …
Chose monday.com
monday.com is simpler and easier to grasp, apply and navigate than Clickup, but the Clickup free version has so much more functionality available than the monday.com free / low-cost options (sorry, but it's true!).
Google tasks is really simple and I shouldn't really compare …

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

Here, I will suggest that it is best to create employees, clients, or project reports. Easy to track with the dashboards. I did many integrations and developments. I can not list each of them here. I will say the best tool for management. I couldn't see criteria of unsuitable. But yes It will depend on the client's requirements. I will suggest it as very user-friendly tool for CEOs, CTOs, Managers, and company owners also for team.

Pros
  • 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!
Read full review
  • Set stages for each task and assign people to those stages to move projects along
  • Set up automated tasks to get assigned to people and to send out notifications to Slack as well as emails to contractors to work on a project
  • Create multiple boards for projects and the ability to review tasks by date to make sure no project slips through the cracks

Cons
  • 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.

  • Ensuring I have set up a Private board vs public board is not clear - it would be useful to have an additional alert when creating a board as I work with sensitive information. It will eventually be used in a team based environment but while I test the boards, they needs to be private.
  • Time tracking is clumsy, could be easier to record

Usability
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.

It's straightforward to use and simple to understand. They have tutorials on different elements of the system that you can learn. The workflow there is very intuitive, drag and drop, which doesn't require a learning curve for most people. Templates that also make things more accessible can be found.

Everything performs fairly well. Every now and then there are user errors where an employee will not click "ok" on a note they've created and simply exit out (I do wish that something was in place to prevent this, such as a pop "are you finished?")

Support Rating
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.

monday.com only really care about accounts that have 20 seats or more. While this is great for monday.com, it pushes smaller organisations to evaluate alternatives. We rate monday.com highly in our organisation because key staff have already got good experience with the application and we know we will get to 20+ seats one day. But, till then the billing model and lack of permanent enterprise features is a dread.

To have someone walk you thru the features and capabilities of Monday.com is priceless. Someone also coming along later in the contract to see if you are maximizing the program to suit your company needs is beyond helpful. The staff that have provided this training are fun, creative and very patient.

We signed up for the accounts. Created the accounts. Ran the trial version and tested it live while we were running multiple projects and found that it was fitting our needs perfectly. When the trial ended and we were asked to purchase the full version, we did. We have found other ways to use it and it's a breeze.

For it to work across multiple departments and sites, I would like to see improvements made with integrations and automation. For this question, I am acknowledging not only the addition of internal triggers/automation, but also an expansion on external ones.
