Pipedrive vs. Pipeline CRM

Pipedrive's lead management features are top-notch, particularly the ability to automate email correspondence and receive alerts when necessary. It has an excellent pipeline, opportunity management, and sales automation without coding: —Exceptional cost-effectiveness. —User-friendliness. —Usability. —Top-notch search filter. However, its speed could be increased because adding new actions requires numerous taps and swipes.

It is great for managing multiple sales people and the ability to see where the company is in sales cycles. Great for our forecasting. The ability to track email opens has helped us with next steps as well.

• Great visual visibility of the funnel plus easy to drag the deals across the stages
• The email integration that collects all relevant communication (also through the possibility of adding a deal-specific Pipedrive address on BCC)
• The integration with Pandadoc, which we use a lot, so that Pipedrive keeps a really handy overview of the documents we have sent out / which have been signed

• Flexibility: It provides the flexibility to set it up how you want to use it. Customization is beyond what you probably want or need.
• Reporting: We were able to setup all types of reporting and tracking.
• Ease of Use: While the platform was powerful, it was always easy to use.

• Showing the customers name on the pipeline page. Right now I can only get it to show the brand name twice. I wish it would replace the second brand name with the main point of contact.
• Better reporting tools. Their reporting tools are not easy to pick up. I've spent time trying to figure it out and it isn't something I can pick up on quickly.
• Better training options. I wish I had a personal trainer to walk me through the best way to use Pipedrive so I can get the most out of it.

• I wouldn't say no areas for improvement exist, but I will say that PipelineDeals takes customer input, shared product roadmap, and supports what they have very nicely. What they provide works out-of-the-box. Improvements can always be made with respect to pre-packaged integration with 3rd party services/solutions, and with extended attributes, but you also want to avoid something that attempts to boil the ocean.

Unless I find something better...

If we can integrate and easily export and clean all of our data such that it can be used for multiple purposes, i.e. outreach to guests, sending out newsletters to subscribers, doing research and tracking progress, we will definitely renew

There is a learning curve that caused a slow adoption but overall the UI looks great and the support is helpful when there is an issue that you need to be addressed. The marketplace integrations (developed by Pipedrive) could definitely use some work as they're not as seamless as we'd hoped for!

The user interface is simple and easy to navigate. Anyone who is overwhelmed with some of the more complicated CRM systems will definitely enjoy the simplicity of what PipelineDeals has to offer

Between quick video tutorials and having very quick feedback from their support teams, it is one of the main reasons I would recommend Pipedrive. It is critical, especially when setting up the platform to meet your companies needs, that a solid support team like Pipedrive has is there to make the transition easier.

Any time I have had questions or issues that have come up I've always been able to get a quick response and a resolution to what I was needing.

Experiment is the only way to start

The reporting tools with Pipedrive are immensely more advanced and customizable than Clio Grow. We are able to adjust and tweak the reports to make sense for our firm specifically whereas with Clio Grow, you were sort of stuck with the default reports. Pipedrive beats Clio Grow hands down.

We are currently using HubSpot for one of our other companies and it has been great. The marketing integrations that come with it blow PipelineDeals out of the water. On top of that, it also has a ticketing system in it where you can tie customer issues to a customer in the CRM.

• Great on setup which made our work easier and less technically equipped people can manage a lot of things(compared to SalesForce where you need to hire a developer to set it up)
• We were able to integrate our calling system easily and get things going on the lead calling aspect.
• Great multipipeline option where we were able to manage both organisations under one roof.

Incentivized

• Visibility. Tracking and seeing our activity increased our productivity.
• Encouraging. Seeing our progress made it more encouraging to keep going when things were hard.
• Tracking ROI: Our ability to see our ROI on our marketing and sales efforts was powerful in adjusting our efforts as a company.
• Followup Efficiency: Knowing who we need to reach out to and when is very helpful when managing multiple contacts and leads.
