### "A Fantastic CRM"

June 9, 2021

5.0

Very good.

Pros

The ease of use, the custom ability, and the additional chat function support.

Cons

I would of liked to have tailored the tabs on the company module a little more but there is always a workaround, that's the beauty of it.

Reason for choosing OpenCRM

We are a Global company and the UK are the first country within the organisation to roll out a new CRM system. Due to this, we didn't want to over invest and find that the system was not utilised fully by the work force. From start to finish I have felt supported, valued and listened to by the Team at Open CRM, to name a few, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have offered me extensive and valued support and have listened to and taken on board our company vision and CRM needs to implement a software that is great for our organisation. The set up and customisation is very user friendly and easy to use. We have now rolled out our new system which has been welcomed with very positive feedback.

### "Excellent crm system"

February 21, 2023

5.0

I have all my customers in one place and its easy to organise my events and keep track of where I am up to with the customers

Pros

It was easy to set up with the help of open crm and its easy to use.

Cons

It would be nice if I could have my company colours on the system, so when we send out paperwork it has my branding on it.

### "Easy Open CRM"

June 22, 2021

5.0

Having all the information in relation to companies, contacts and opportunities in one place makes life so much easier.

Pros

Very easy to use and manage, the ability to easily change fields to suit our market place and produce relevant reports that assist the sales team do their job.

Cons

Sometimes takes a while to work out how to change a column on a standard search result, but OpenCRM are always on hand to assist.

### "Powerful CRM at a faction of the cost"

November 6, 2019

5.0

I'm very happy with the product, once you get over the initial configuration and setup of the product (which can be very granular) so that it works for your business its a very powerful tool, from small business up to the enterprise.

Pros

This CRM product has everything that you need and when you need it, without the addional overhead of having to purchase every addon as you need it. This allows you to know that you have a very comprehensive feature set from day one. It has numerous integrations built in, for example JotForm, Xero, Mailchimp and Sage to name a few, which all help with the sale process and can help with the customer relationship.

Cons

The interface can be outdated at times and features/options can be hard to find unless you know where they are. But the team at OpenCRM are working on updating the interface and the latest releases are looking much nicer and easier to use.

### "Great CRM for a small business"

August 26, 2021

5.0

Pros

As a fairly small organisation, we find Open CRM easy to use with a handful of users. The support team are excellent when we run into any difficulties and is quick to help. I have used a range of CRMs in the past at previous organisations, some 4x the price of Open CRM but I haven't found them to be as effective or user friendly as Open CRM.

Cons

The reporting is a bit confusing and could do with being made simipliar.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it! So glad you've found our support team helpful and that you're enjoying using OpenCRM. In terms of reporting, I will make sure to feed your comments back to our interface team. Would you mind replying to the email with some more information of what areas you are finding confusing? It might be that a session with our customer success team can help bridge the gap.

### "I Love working with this program"

February 21, 2023

5.0

Absolutely loving working with it. Saves so much time and eases tasks you didn't know needed easing

Pros

It is easy to navigate, has a great flow throughout the program too

Cons

the choice of colours on dashboard, could use a little more choice there, especially with multiple users.

Reason for choosing OpenCRM

I came to the company after it was purchased, but in the infant stages of using it.But I think it's brilliant!

### "Not the best"

May 7, 2019

3.0

Not great. Our company has been using for a few years and as we have grown its failings have become more frustrating and apparent. We are changing CRM.

Pros

it has all the features you would expect of an online CRM

Cons

Its badly laid out and very buggy. We kept coming across things that didnt work. when we reported these bugs OpenCRM admitted they didn't work but if we wanted that functinoality we would have to pay for it. The email program is very bad and barely functions. The reporting system is also overly complex

Review Source

Response from OpenCRM

April 19, 2021

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I am genuinely sorry that your experience was not like the many hundreds of other comments we have received about our product and services. My name is Graham, and I am the Managing Director over at OpenCRM. OpenCRM does not have an email client, so we were left a little puzzled by your comment stating that our email program is 'very bad and barely functions'. It's always disappointing when we have been unable to quantify the areas that you were struggling with, and for that, I can only apologise. Our goal is a bug-free experience for our thousands of users. To clarify, we have never charged for bug fixing, and our approach to feedback around areas of the system that have genuine issues has always been to embrace the feedback to make our product better for our whole community. If you're open to discussing this further, please give me a call. I would be pleased to catch up and discuss any options that we might have in the future.

### "OpenCRM User Review "

February 22, 2023

4.0

Very user friendly and is leaps and bounds ahead of our previous CRM solution (ACT) It has streamlined our maintenance renewals process and allows us to accurately track man hours vs the cost of our maintenance contracts. From this we can work out profit/loss.

Pros

Easy to navigate and very user friendly. The best feature for me is that all emails to/from clients are automatically attached to the relevant account.

Cons

When using Chrome, on occasion, if you press "back" on the webpage, you get a "confirm resubmission" error message

### "A Solid CRM"

June 4, 2024

4.0

An ok start but the difficulty of locating customer responses in the Helpdesk and writing back to them is far harder than it needs to be.

Pros

Easy to see all messages across departments Plenty of information can be contained about customers/contacts Linking assets to Companies is especially useful

Cons

It's hard to find Customer responses in Helpdesk Way too many new tabs and windows make it too easy to lost what you're doing Apply function seems pointless

Overall I like using OpenCRM and the Support staff are really friendly and knowledgable.

Pros

It's easy to use and navigate. And it's also easy to add products and pricing etc.,

### "Comprehensive CRM system with impressive customisability and great support"

February 23, 2023

4.0

Pros

Easy to use and ultimately customisable - the OpenCRM platform allows us to quickly adapt our sales processes and inventory, be that adding new product lines, amending the sales order processes, starting up new offices (with associated new terms & conditions), or any development that would typically throw a spanner into the works; we know that OpenCRM can be quickly adapted to allow our business to keep running without delay. The customer services and chat support functions are one of the best on the market and i'd rate them highest amongst any of the 3rd party systems we use. Their staff are knowledgeable, helpful and quick to respond.

Cons

The user permissions can be a little tricky to get the hang of, with permission levels being either too high or too low to allow the user to access what's required for their job role.

### "Review on OPEN CRM"

May 25, 2023

3.0

Its the first CRM I have worked with, It seems it has lots of feature I don't use or don't know about, but knowing about them would be handy. The UI feels dated and had to use/see where to go.

Pros

I like the templating of products. So I can group products into a single product so when I add to a quote it adds the whole list. However, I wish these were easier to change. I also like how everything links e.g lead, contact, company, opportunity, and quote.

Cons

Not being able to auto update quote with either the current exchange rate or with the updated prices of the products. Plus if there was an update button it would help any time a minor change is made to a product.

June 2, 2023

Thank you very much for your review Connor. Thanks so much for bringing the interconnected nature of OpenCRM to the wider world with your review, we really appreciate it. It feels like you may benefit from some guidance with your system, both to help you with your current goals and also to look at areas of your system that you are yet to explore. This could be done in a couple of ways. Firstly you could take a look at our YouTube channel, we have heaps of help videos and full-length webinars to guide you through those less familiar areas. You can find that at www.youtube.com/opencrm Alternatively, we also have a Customer Success department here. One of the team could spend some time with you to explore your business goals and show you ways to use your system to better achieve those. If this would be your preferred route, please reach out to us. Thank you again for your review. Have a wonderful day.
