CRM system for SME has a bad reputation for being overly technical, difficult to implement, and unfriendly to use.
Because the development time of any custom made CRM is really long and initial requirements can change drastically during the development and integration of any business processes.
For small to medium-size business owners who lack the funds or resources to customize the CRM properly to meet their company’s needs, it is extremely important to have the easy, intuitive and stable tool.
I also use two CRMs and try to choose the best one for my own needs.
There are several solutions that can be utilized for my companies.
After analyzing many tools my CRM list is shorter now. We know all of them and help with configuration.
(Free for up to three users for startups!!!!; $12-per-user-per-month Professional and $25-per-user-per-month Enterprise packages also available)
The closest to Salesforce in power and scope, Zoho CRM offers a solid platform for managing customer support, opportunities, inventory, leads, and marketing efforts, including email campaigns that you can launch from within the service itself. Zoho CRM has a bundle of features, including word processing, database functions, collaboration, and project management. In addition to what comes as part of the program, you can purchase third-party applications to meet nearly any company need.
You can purchase the Zoho CRM Plug-in for Microsoft Office Outlook; for $3 per year per user, it allows you to synchronize contacts, calendars, and tasks between the two programs. You can also find plug-ins for syncing Zoho CRM files with QuickBooks but not with my financial system.

is not a typical crm. It is a tool for managing your sales pipeline or funnel in a very simple way – only $12 per user/month.
You can see ongoing deals arranged by their likely close date next to deals you’ve already closed. This way you can correct course before it’s too late: work on deals that are likely to close or find new deals to work on.
You may want to see your won deals arranged by ‘delivery’ or ‘implementation’ date. Feel free, Pipedrive enables you to fully customize the Timeline View.
It has many integrations – with Google, Zapier and another 3rd party.
I like most the Google Maps integration that shows you the localization of your contacts in a very easy way. You can plan even your route.
I can see only Pros here. I will check frequently their offer. Because it looks that it would be a very nice tool for salespeople.
