Method:CRM vs. Tabillo

Method[:CRM] is well suited when you have a large company that needs to keep track of customers. It also connects with Quickbooks and that has really been nice for our organization. Our company is small so this really helps us stay on track and build our data base of customers.

Incentivized

• It's well suited for simple data base applications: simple and fast to put together.
• It's not as well suited if an application requires more complex logics/queries.

• The customization team is brilliant!
• The various integrations, QBO & Gmail, help me keep track of all customer interactions.
• The more organized I am, the more time I have to take care of my clients!
• I have nothing but praise for the support team and the rest of the crew at Method.

Incentivized

• Extremely easy to learn
• Fast to create
• Easy to modify
• Build powerful applications with very little effort
• Absolutely no coding involved

• I believe there is room for improvement with scaling down on the customizing (sometimes having too much isn't always a good thing)
• The estimate creator in Method is not as fluid as making an estimate in QB. (moving lines around, adding lines, etc.)

Incentivized

• Cannot modify the user interface (it's generated automatically)
• Does not support more advanced concepts

The things Method does well - QuickBooks data integration and extreme customization - it does very, very well. If you are looking for a CRM product or any business process automation software that integrates with QuickBooks, you have to look at Method CRM

I'm fairly new to the company and have only been using Method for the last year and the ease of use has been a blessing for me. I've self trained on most of the aspects and have incorporated new operations in the company, based on what Method has to offer, that have enhanced the productivity for all associates.

The support is great. They are on the line within minutes and share screen to figure out the problem immediately. I would highly recommend this product for that reason. I do wish the customization was a bit easier to use; however, with fewer settings that are available to the end user and an easier way to read the customization.

Be available to learn! There is a huge learning curve to this program. You have to be willing to take it all in. Be available to the Method expert and be patient.

We were using QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise for a very long time. However, the software is archaic and dated. Method allows us to step into the 21st century. We now have much more online / automated interactions with our customers. We like that Method also lets us customize a great deal of the software to our exact needs and wants

• Tabillo requires almost no knowledge to use compared to MS Access but cannot build complex applications.
• Tabillo & Salesforce are both simple to learn and use but Tabillo will allow other than sales-centric types of applications to be created (more flexible).

• Method:CRM has probably saved me about 6-10 hours per week over the past few years.
• It has likely saved our company several hundred hours in the last 10 years.
• It has specifically saved us countless hours with better data management vs. having separate spreadsheets for keeping track of things.

Incentivized

• Major improvement within our organization in terms of sharing vital up-to-date information
