Zurmo is gamified CRM software that your users will love to use.
4/5 (5 reviews)Challenge: Users dislike CRM. When was the last time a salesperson said he enjoyed using a CRM? Likely never.
Solution: Create a CRM that is easy-to-use, intuitive, requires no training, can be adapted to any business use case, and users have fun using. Zurmo CRM includes gamification and socialCRM functionality, along with a fresh and modern user interface. Zurmo increases user adoption and transitions the dull system that sales/marketing people view as "the data entry thing" into an engaging, enchanting, and fun system that users enjoy utilizing.
Pros
I used self-hosted Zurmo to manage my list of clients for a music gig. Not wanting to pay for something as full-featured as SFDC, and wanting something a little nicer than the community version of SugarCRM I found this. It's actually really straightforward to use, the interface is quite nice, and there's a gamification element which I think is really cool, although not useful unless you have more than a few people working in your system.
Cons
To be honest for what it is I can't think of anything that I didn't like about Zurmo. I had some trouble initially with the setup but that was due to outdated software on my webserver and an update fixed that. I wish that their blog and content on the website was updated more frequently - if you don't look at the date of the latest version release you could easily be led to believe that the project had been abandoned.
Zurmo was a good entry point for us into the CRM world. I liked it. My team was lukewarm about it. There are better products out there- check out Hubspot.
Pros
Zurmo provides a free, open source CRM platform. This was invaluable to us, as it allowed for us to customize it without paying high premiums. As a basic CRM, it functions well. I liked all the ways it could be customized to meet our business needs.
Cons
For any kind of decent support, you need to pay for it. This is par for the course, however. Also, the updates for the free version lagged behind the paid. On top of that, we heard that development is ceasing, which caused us to move to another product.
Pros
Feature packed
Ease of use
Lots of options
Makes it easy to keep track of clients, projects, and opportunities
Cons
Installation and upgrades (at least of the free version) were difficult for someone with minimal linux experience
