    Salesforce Sales CloudSugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    Considered Both Products
    Salesforce
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    Salesforce Sales Cloud is a truly enterprise tool and is appropriately extensible to allow for future growth so we can scale seamlessly.
    Incentivized
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    It's intuitive and user friendly to set up and manage campaigns in the nurturing process.
    Incentivized
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    We initially reviewed several other products SugarCRM, Siebel, MS something or other. In every category Salesforce was determined to be the better product. The only real hard decision was with price on SugarCRM Free edition. It is hard to compete with free when looking at …
    Incentivized
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    • Siebel is great for customizability, but not for usability.
    • SugarCRM isn't as well-known enough by reps, it also lacks as many packaged integrations as salesforce.com
    • Microsoft Dynamics CRM has a good price, ok usability but is more difficult to customize than salesforce.com
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    So far my experience only includes salesforce.com and SugarCRM. I definitely think salesforce is the better option because it is a lot more user friendly and customizable. I have not had any choice in which CRM software I've used, so I haven't necessarily chosen salesforce over …
    Incentivized
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    Salesforce seemed to be a more complete system and better organized.
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    I've used multiple other systems but ultimately, choosing a CRM solution is not my choice. I can say that SF is my favorite of all the solutions. This includes SugarCRM, Act and some other proprietary systems
    Chose Salesforce Sales Cloud
    I think SugarCRM and MSDynamics were on the shortlist. There were some sponsors within the company for those systems. But, Salesforce won the race hands down. Others were nowhere near to what Salesforce had at that time.
    SugarCRM
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    We selected SugarCRM from a startup mentality when, in reality, we should have bitten the bullet and opted for something like Copper. Copper is 100% the CRM of choice that is integrated into G-Suite for businesses. I would even take Zoho over Sugar, having implemented it …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    Salesforce Analytics Cloud was much more than we needed for reporting so it didn't make sense to pay the cost for SFDC just for that feature. Callidus Cloud Marketing Automation was very marketing centric and didn't fit our business process as well; would have required more …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    We saw a lot of the same desirable features in both platforms. Although Salesforce offered a greater level of support, we did not think it was worth the extra spend, at the end of the day. We have had to do a bit more leg work when it comes to social media intelligence, but in …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    We ultimately selected Salesforce due to the issues faced with SugarCRM however I would recommend SugarCRM to any company that doesn't plan on managing the CRM in house. The costs associated with hiring a Sugar Partner and purchasing multiple licenses are still going to be …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    SugarCRM is in general better on supporting and handling customization of modules and workflows and is much lighter in terms of the requirements needed to support the platform for clients
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    More cost effective and allowed us to have it running on our own infrastructure instead of hosted by their servers. This allowed us to write custom code and modules for our specific business needs. Our sales team ended up hating SugarCRM and has moved off it completely and to Sa…
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    I work for a SugarCRM partner and compete against Salesforce, MS Dynamics. We chose to become a SugarCRM partner because of the open nature of their software stack. Nothing is hidden from users or partners. We have full access to the source-code and can make any time of …
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    SugarCRM was very fast and easy to customize. We loved the freedom to quickly create new fields in the system.
    Compared to Microsoft Dynamics CRM, where a developer actually has to write code, with Sugar, even a lay person could make changes without screwing anything up. :)
    Incentivized
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    GoldMine was an archaic platform. Adding custom fields was difficult. Reporting was horrible. Sugar CRM blows it out of the water. It's also easier to use and navigate. Having all of the data available from any browser is also a tremendous advantage compared to our private …
    Chose Sugar Sell (SugarCRM)
    Sugar is easier to deploy and use with much a better TCO than Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics. It is much easier to use than its competition, in general, bothe from an end user and an administration viewpoint. It's very simple Licensing Model is easy to understand being user …
