Senior Manager / IT Planning & Architecture Services at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
Easily customizable, automation enhances the marketing campaigns but support is the main hiccup for us
It has been effective in managing customer relationships. It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory. And there are centralized reports for the CEO and the general managers. We work with automation for these marketing and email campaigns. It sends out emails to prospective customers related to sales offers automatically. And it copies the sales team so that they can follow up. They are tracking the sales leads. So, the automation within SugarCRM enhances the marketing campaigns. For now, my work is done because I am the IT strategy and planning manager. I just try to deliver the solution according to the requirements of the business. From my side, it's implemented already, the requirement related to the sales funnel. But if they have any other requirement from the business side, they will submit it to me, and then I will look for a suitable solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has sales email campaigns, plus integration with Active Directory."
"It works well with Jira. You can customize it to fit your needs."
"My advice to others is this is a good solution for importing or exporting any graphics."
"The most valuable feature is relation capability, which allows us to relay customers with invoice orders."
"The most valuable features of Sugar Enterprise are the exports of graphics, statuses, complaints, and tasks."
"Saying that, it has a small server footprint and is easy to set up."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its low cost, and it works well."
"Good, basic out-of-the-box solution, however, in my estimation not a long term play as the design flow and user interface make it a true chore to enter data."
"It is deceptively simple but remarkably powerful."
"Creating a streamlined process from sales through to completion of projects has made an immense difference to our operations."
"WORKetc is a great tool; complex and useful; maybe even too complex with a lot of customized options."
 

Cons

"Pipelines, forecasts, and reporting in general, are not that good in the free version."
"Sugar Enterprise could improve by removing bugs and glitches. For example, a comment was made but in the comment section, it was never displayed. However, the problems we faced might not be the fault of the solution."
"Putting so many things into SugarCRM became a much-hated task, mainly because of the horrible UI."
"At the moment, there is a complicated flow in regards to the user's permissions and what they can see."
"While it is already user-friendly, a slight enhancement in UI design, especially in terms of color combinations, could make the platform more visually appealing and comfortable to use."
"I would like to see more integration on a mobile platform in the next release."
"It lacks customization, and this is the main reason that we are switching to a different solution."
"I would appreciate it if SugarCRM could support us in on-premise implementation."
"It just feels that the current UI is a bit old school."
"The UI needs to move forward to a refreshed version but this is in the works."
"We are waiting for a new UI design, and also I think that not having a mobile version is a weakness."
