Maximizer Pros and Cons

The best thing about Maximizer is it makes communication with clients much more from the stream side. It records everything in a clear, organized way and it feels more efficient to follow up with customers. I also like their reminder system, as it keeps me in try of my most important follow ups even though I don’t need to keep checking my calendar. It’s helped me to organize my day so I never miss a time to meet with clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve realised that Maximizer’s task management tool isn’t as flexible as I’d like it to be. Even the reminders and alerts don’t correlate with the way I like to organize my tasks. For instance, I might be alerted to tasks that are not urgent, and important tasks might not jump out, whereas both of those might be. The thing is it does the job, but I wish that tasks and reminders were more customizable so that they suit my personal workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maximizer is just wonderful keeping us organized and focused on top priorities. I like that it breaks tasks into incremental steps, and keeps us in the loop so we know when to do what for the client. It works well for team collaboration, as everyone can know what work needs to be done, and can collaborate on goals with little confusion about what is actually being worked on. These features make it so that keeping our projects running as smoothly as possible has become so much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One issue with Maximizer is that some tools appear too rigid and are not easily fit to your organisation’s workflow. Sometimes, it feels like the system has us fit into rather than adapting to. But adoption can also be slow if your product hasn’t yet rolled out as an app or when you have an interface that’s too technical for some less tech sophisticated users. In day to day use these issues create friction that create more time being spent in some tasks than is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maximizer really grabs me because it provides an organized bottom line when it comes to tasks and makes sure nothing gets lost or ignored. Highly recommneded are the reminders, follow up notifications to keep us on schedule. Further, I like that it’s flexible to use, to grab and shove things in whatever task order I need in that moment. Being able to organize our workflow around how it works for us as a team helps keep us in our flow and enable us to work more productively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

However, there is one aspect that seems to somewhat annoying when working with Maximizer - the lack of options for modifying the work flow. At other times, it is a little frustrating that one cannot easily switch how work is allocated or reorganise the scheme without some level of inconvenience. It is rather effective although it may yield a slower process than anticipated in changing specific routine tasks and avenis at times interferes with our usual flow.

The way I am able to track clients accounts from start to finish is beneficial. I love that I can set tasks for annual reviews and renewals and be notified when these are to happen. The staff are great and very willing to help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface could use a facelift, and would love email push notifications! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The app's onboarding procedure requires minimal effort. Our setup process finished within an afternoon thus providing us with an unexpected convenience. Automated contact updates in this system deliver at least three hours of savings weekly. The application's tracking capabilities for sales activities together with performance metrics enables us to maximize our weekly meetings efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the best about Maximizer is its amazing customer support features. We have also improved our communication with the clients to be able to track customer inquiries and to respond to the clients in their personal terms. Our task management system of the software helps us give priority to important requests of the customers, so nothing is left behind. In addition, it is very easy to get alerts and notifications for important interactions with customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of Maximizer being that there isn’t much flexibility on how you can use the mobile app. The version for the desktop will provide much more functionality, and also make it easier to access and update key data on the go. In some cases, this has presented a problem for team members that require working from out of the office. The software also tends to be slow when the amount of database data to search is also large.

There’s a fantastic customer support feature in Maximizer. Anytime I’ve needed them for a question or problem, they have been very quick to respond, and provide very detailed answers. The support team behind the software can be dedicated which makes it even more reliable and lower our downtime in our workflow. They also give in depth tutorials and resources that have helped me make use of the software to its full potential without frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the advanced analytics instruments aren’t out of the box for Maximizer. It does a good job of covering the basics, however it can be quite limiting when looking for more detailed insights or creating custom data visualizations because we rely on additional integrations, which add complexity to the process. They could even incorporate more in depth analytics features directly in the software so that we wouldn't have to do any setup or integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My journey with Maximizer started in the early 2000s; I've come to appreciate its consistent stability and usability over the years. It's interesting to see how this CRM has managed to adapt amidst the ever-changing landscape of technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In recent years, Maximizer has undergone numerous changes, and unfortunately, not all have been for the better. Each update seems to obscure features that many of us rely on. Additionally, while Maximizer is supposed to integrate with Teams seamlessly, it often causes delays and freezes in my email account. Moreover, I've noticed that my Windows calendar appointments are duplicated or even triplicated in my Maximizer calendar, or worse, my appointments disappear from my Maximizer calendar. It's important to be aware of these issues as they can significantly impact productivity and workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maximizer excels with its strong CRM capabilities which integrate nicely with platforms, such as Outlook and Teams. It’s streamlined our processes and tracking client interactions and appointments in the one place. Reporting functionality is a game changer for our marketing efforts where we are able to leverage deep insights into customer data to focus only on the most promising leads. This tool has sped the workflow and left us much better structured, saving us time and boosting our productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface of Maximizer a bit outdated and not so intuitive. This can slow navigation and clutter involving new users. However, it is a steep learning curve and it often takes a longer time for each of the team members to get comfortable with the system. Furthermore, the only dashboards we've been able to effectuate are limited in the customization options, preventing us to incorporate our software to our specific needs and thus, making the process overall less efficient.

Maximizer keeps our team connected whether we're in the office or working from home. The Microsoft integration and their commitment to keeping the program up to date are just a few reasons why I've used the program for over 20 years! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mobile used to be cumbersome but its all fixed up and I love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
