### "OpenCRM Review - TGE Solutions"

June 5, 2024

5.0

The software is really easy and intuitive to use and can easily be adapted to the way that we want to work and view data. The team behind the scenes are excellent, support is on hand immediately to me and my team whenever we need it.

Pros

The team made the transition from Salesforce to OpenCRM painless, dealing with everything and ensuring that all our data was transferred into the correct fields. The team at OpenCRM have continued to offer first class support whenever we need it.

Cons

Learning new administration and programming software

5.0

Everyone is always really helpful and quick to reply. \[sensitive content hidden\] is the most helpful person ever! We started with a company of about 6 people using the system, we now have over 23 and a second company who have just signed up!

Pros

Easy and straight forward to use! The customer support is really quick and helpful. They system itself is adaptable and you can make it work how you need to.

Cons

Can be a bit glitchy and clunky. Sometimes the views need special numbers instead of doing the normal drop downs which can be confusing.

Worth the $ but not as functional as other CRM's

Pros

Email management system functions well. Tracking is good.

Cons

Ease of use and reporting are well below standard.

### "The most flexible end to end CRM software"

January 7, 2026

5.0

The support is fantastic. They are always supportive to find a solution that fits your business processes. It is NOT a humanless software company and they will always go the extra mile to help you sort problems and find solutions.

Pros

The flexibility to be able to tailor the software to your own working practices. The ability to have a software that can be easily and cost effectively tailored to existing business processes.

Cons

The inability to pull certain fields across all modules. The reporting module is less flexible and the email design aspect of the software is not very user friendly compared to competitors.

Pros

Flexibility through customisation and adjoining tools for inter-system connectivity as well as powerful features within.

Cons

Difficult to layout pdf print outs but we could implement desired features.

### "OpenCRM review"

June 30, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with OpenCRM has been very positive. It’s a well-designed, user-friendly CRM system that has made managing contacts, tasks, and projects much easier and more efficient day to day.

Pros

OpenCRM is a very efficient and reliable system with a clean, easy-to-use interface. It’s intuitive, well-organized, and makes managing client data and communication smooth and hassle-free.

Cons

At times, the load times can feel a bit slow, especially when switching between modules or accessing reports, but it’s nothing that severely disrupts workflow.

[Tesseract](https://www.capterra.com/p/10019659/Tesseract/)

### "Great bespoke, robust CRM system"

February 19, 2025

5.0

I think it is a fantastic CRM system, more robust and bespoke than any we have had oreviously

Pros

The bespoke nature of it, the fact that our CRM coordinator can build anything we need the system to do, usually during the meeting

Cons

bit of a learning curve, so if we had a bespoke user guide specifically tailored around our functionality, that would be great. also accessibility features, which are probably there, but not as visible as could be required.

### "A bespoke CRM system out of the box"

November 19, 2024

5.0

We've used it for many years now, and always find the team incredibly helpful and open to suggestions for changes and tweaks.

Pros

It's a big system, but one which can be tailored to our needs. And in our case, we have tailored it massively to handle workflow that would not normally be expected of a CRM system.

Cons

Occasionally we find something in the system works in a way that seems less than ideal (eg some records are searchable only by their name, not by their numeric reference), and when that happens, which is rare, the cost of altering is high.

Alternatives considered

[Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/)

Reason for choosing OpenCRM

Usability in opencrm was better; and we knew we would want to customise, which was not going to be possible with the alternatives we looked at

November 14, 2024

5.0

Excellent software and ease of use, detailed in depth reporting available and management of tickets, sales orders as well as online resource for customer e-signing of orders and logging of tickets via our portal.

Pros

Easy of use but primarily the ability to modify the fields, reports and overall functionality to meet our specific needs

Cons

Colour scheme, it would be great if this could be modified to our own corporate colours

### "Great CRM but appearance could be improved "

June 10, 2024

4.0

Fairly positive, it's not the best on the market but it does the job.

Pros

Easy to use and customise. Reports are easy to build and maintain. The functionality is very good. The Helpdesk team are on hand to support.

Cons

The appearance and layout. It is very difficult to read the information on OpenCRM. In Opportunities text boxes are the same text as the titles, there is no differentiation between the text and no outline or bold text.

Reason for choosing OpenCRM

We already use and element of it within the business.

I use it daily, I am an ambassador within the company for it and do the training for any new users

Pros

Cons

I don't use the lead option as it takes longer to convert into an opportunity, if its a lead its an opportunity

### "Customisable and easy to use! "

June 4, 2024

5.0

I used OpenCRM in my previous job so when I moved to a new company i set it up here as it found it simple and easy to navigate. The support is good and it does everything need.

Pros

Once you get the hang of how to customise filters for reports and the layout of pages it shows you all the specific information you want and the options to add as much or as little info and you want.

Cons

It doesn't have the option for me to use the oppurtunity section in the way i need it to so I use companies instead.

A very well put together product that can be adapted to suit the business.

Pros

Cons

June 5, 2024

5.0

Very helpful, and I would not be able to do my job without it. Keeps a lot of information stored and navigates quickly. Easy to use.

Pros

It is a relatively fast process to find what you are looking for and well laid out. You are offered tutorials on a regular basis. Even if you don't require them it is reassuring to know that help is a click away.

Cons

I am happy with everything, well there is just one over eager drop down box that drops if you hover over near it. It just gets in the way of the drop box below it and you have to wait for it to go back in its slot. LOL apart from that it is very useful.

Thank you so much for an excellent review, Mark. We are aware of a bug with a 'jumpy' drop-down box, and this is being looked at.

June 4, 2024

4.0

Very helpful for managing client interactions and staying on top of quoting and project stages. Could be designed to work better with a construction firm as is more targeted at Sales roles currently.

Pros

Very useful semi-automated workflows, although they took a bit of setting up and fine tuning.

Cons

The email client and difficult to integrate with 64bit outlook. Full outlook integration would improve the experience massively.

Reason for choosing OpenCRM

Liked the support that was offered and the single price point.
