What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

Linking with Docusign has been a really difficult process. Some of the reporting lacks features like viewing in percentage. Lead to order report should be a readily available report. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Productivity within the team - less manual input as everything is ready to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

SugarCRM allows a very good management of your sales and distribution processes but also of further processes like invoice processes due to the high flexibility respective the ability to customization. Hereby it is possible for an admin to provide lots of changes and adjustments so that there is no need for an IT-consultant for every single change in the system.

You can not also build up your own customer relationship managementsystem in a sandbox environment but also your own controlling tools and forecast reports (e.g. about upcoming sale opportunities) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

SugarCRM has no option that allows you to restore deleted data in an easy way in the standard version (e.g. in the SugarCRM Cloud Edition without any plugins).

The "programming language" which is used in the SugarCRM Backend respective in the so called "Studio" is quite difficult to learn when you are not into programming at all. The given examples in the studio to generate calculated fields and to provided logics to your customized frontend are not always helpful. However, there is a good internet community that provides helpful solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sugar Sell:

You can use the SugarPortal for any issus you have with sugarCRM. The support ist amazing and realy quick. We also cooperate with an IT-Service-Provider that is responsible for our bigger and major customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving several Problems, e.g. the customer acquisition (together as a team) for it is easy to assign contacts and contract to your colleges and to share information about the data in your team.

Furthermore, customers and their contracts are linked in our SugarCRM. We can generate invoices for the customers out of the contract module.

Moreover, we use SugarCRM as an archiv for emails and some of the users are working with the integrated scheduler respective calender as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aleighjean Traver of Sugar Sell

Hello Stefan,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review on your experience with Sugar. Everyone at Sugar loves when a customer takes the time to share their honest feedback. We're pleased to hear you are working closely with our Support team to address any challenges that come up. I've gone ahead and passed your feedback regarding the programming language and the difficulty of restoring deleted data to our product team.

In the meantime, if you've not yet joined us in our user community, SugarClub, we'd love to see you there (and at ClubZone this September!) I've shared a link below for your reference.

Stay well,

Aleighjean Traver

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

I like Sell's user-friendly interface, powerful automation features, and centralised customer data that make it easier to manage accounts and track customer health. The customisable dashboards and robust reporting tools help you make data-driven decisions, while automation saves time and ensures no client is overlooked. Plus, its integration capabilities streamline workflows, making your team more efficient in driving customer success and satisfaction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

Advanced Reporting & Analytics: Although the reporting tools are powerful, more advanced analytics features like predictive modeling or deeper insights into customer behavior could be beneficial for teams focused on long-term success and strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

SugarCRM Sell is helping the customer success team by streamlining account management, automating routine tasks (like follow-ups and renewals), and providing a clear, centralised view of customer data. This reduces manual effort, minimises the risk of overlooking important customer interactions, and helps identify potential issues early—ultimately improving response times and boosting customer satisfaction.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

Optimising new account processes and client management functionality allowed us to be more efficient, automated, and capable of collecting valuable data and customer information to create a high-definition customer experience.

The BPM is so flexible and allowed us to set up any combination of automated processes, and this alone has been vital in helping us make so many time-saving changes to how we are working.

Action buttons! When these were introduced this again was a game changer for some repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

When you have lots of dashboards it's difficult to find the correct one, so the ability to create your own logical groups would be very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Very flexible dashboard and report creation tools are fantastic, these enable me to surface data and keep my finger on the pulse. Sharing of dashboards now enables business-critical information to be available to those that need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aleighjean Traver of Sugar Sell

Hello Jason,

Wow! What a delightful testament to your experience. Everyone at Sugar loves when a customer takes the time to write such a thoughtful review, and we are so pleased to hear how you're achieving a high-definition customer experience. Just a note, I've shared your feedback regarding the mobile app with our product team.

If you haven't yet joined us in SugarClub, our user community, we'd love to have you (and at our user conference in two weeks, ClubZone.) I've shared a link below for reference.

We can't thank you enough for sharing your feedback.

Sincerely,

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

We started using SugarCRM when it was the (no longer available) open-source community version. It was free and customizable but soon, we needed more features which ultimately brought us to using Sugar Sell. I like that (as an Admin), I can fully customize the modules, fields, layouts, etc, without needing any developer knowledge. Sugar Support is also excellent at helping with any issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

Sugar Sell uses a workflow/process manager that is super particular. I like that it has more capabilities, but it also is such a pain to build for what used to be a simple workflow in the older versions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sugar Sell:

Sugar Sell is highly customizable to meet your particular needs. We love that we can do this independently (I'm sure you can also get help from Sugar/a developer if needed). We know we are underutilizing many features but are excited to keep enhancing our instance to what best suits us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Sugar Sell to manage our members' subscriptions to various resources (about 3,000 subscriptions/year for about 400 members). It's more robust than what we used to use and more customizable than a competitor that we were recently eyeing. We love the workflows that we built, as they helped us automate the subscription renewals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

We appreciate Sugar Sell's flexibility and the ease with which it can adapt to our needs. We have been able to cobfugyre e a lot of modules and fields to better adapt to our daily business. We have been using Sugar for 10+ years and it has kept improving constantly. Version 13 in particular, with it's new look and feel, has brought a tremendous improvement in user-friendliness. We are looking forward to trying AI-powered features, in particular for predictive analytics Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

There is very little to complain about. Since reporting is key to our daily activity, we would welcome more advanced reporting capabilities, such as the possibility to add more than just 1 data series to charts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sugar Sell:

Not all benefits are visible at once. Adoption from users is key. Train them well and give them time to learn how to make the best out of it, and you will be rewarded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sugar Sell helps us have a 360 view of our business activity. We have 17 subsidiaries around the world and thanks to the CRM, we have been able to implement aligned sales processes everywhere. We have gained better visibility on our business pipeline, our forecasts and above all we have greatly improved the quality of our customer database. Sugar Sell has become an invaluable daily tool for all our sales and marketing teams around the world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aleighjean Traver of Sugar Sell

Hi David-Alexandre,

It seems like a lifetime has come and gone since I had the chance to speak with you at SugarConnection in Paris; I hope you're well. I enjoyed your virtual session with Stuart for SugarConnected EMEA immensely!

Everyone at Sugar loves when a customer takes extra time to write such a thoughtful review. Thank you so much for your feedback!

By the way, have you checked out SugarClub, yet? Maybe you could get additional value out of it. I've shared a link below, just in case.

Stay well,

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

Love the flexibility of being able to make changes on the fly. I can update teh application and see the changes right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

Product itself - some of the naming conventions are questionable. Like in the Calls module, instead of a call status being set to Answered (which doesn't exist), it's set to HELD. Who uses this nomenclature?

But it was easy to change the description we see from HELD to Answered without it affecting the background application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping track and on-top of Leads and nurturing the client base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

I like how easy it is to enter leads, nourish them and track everything that happens with them and then the ease of converting them into contacts and later on Opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

Currently we find the notifications / process definitions a bit limiting. You can only easily send out emails to the assigned user / users manager but no way of using other custom fields tied to the user module. In stead you need to created a bunch of different flows for the custom user fields in order for them to also get a notification email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had some issues related to tracking revenue and particular items that would be part of an opportunity; the revenue line items module has defiantly helped solve some of the problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

Sugar Sell has recently become our CRM and what can I say !

The SugarCRM team has been really helpful in making the data migration process smooth and efficient.

The platform itself is very user-friendly, provides a great number of features from automations to integration with other softwares such as financial software or HRIS.

Most of the features are fairly easy to use and understand even for non technical staff which is always enjoyable, I also particularly appreciate how easy it is to create insightful and precise reports and dashboards for the teams.

So far so good ! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

We are still very early in our Sugar Sell adventure but one thing that I wish was a little more optimized is the fact that on each module/record there's a lot of data displayed and most of the time you have to scroll and/or open multiple tabs to find information.

But I know that the SugarCRM team is working on these issues for future releases, which is why I am not too bothered by this at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sugar Sell helps us leverage on our client database and extract valuable insights that will be transformed into business opportunities. In the past we had a lot of troubles utilizing our data to its full extent.

As I mentioned before we are still early in our journey but I can also see the value in this regard, I'm also expecting SugarCRM to supercharge our reporting use as well as our automations through tools like SugarBPM and the various Schedulers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

My two favorite capabilites of sugar is the flexible configuration to our business needs and the ease of data extraction. We have made custom modules and process definitions that have helped streamline flows in our business. The best part is as admin I had the full power of creating these myself without having to look for a seperate product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

The hardest part is troubleshooting. There are a couple bugs in the system that will break your logical thinking of how something may work. Luckily, since Sugar Sell is such a flexible tool there is usually a workaround. And sometimes when trying to find a fix online, there's not a lot of information or depth in how to solve. For most of these issues, we can either post in our Support Portal or in online forums for support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sugar Sell solving and how is that benefiting you?

SugarCRM helps to keep all of our data in one place. As a small business, we usually rely on many Excel and word documents to host information. But, with all the different modules Sugar has to offer, we have a flexible and easy accessible tool for everyone to store information across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

I like most is the customer customer support. They never failed me whenever I have issues or something I don't know about Sugar. I should say, I am their number fan. I also like the Admin side where the interface is easy to use. We are using frequently, like everyday because this is our data base, sales process and lead process are taking place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

It's difficult to find Integartion that matches our needs. We always have to rely on Codes if ever we want fancy customizations. I hope there would an improvement on drag and drop feature and it will be a lot of help for an admin like me. I think, that's what most of the CRM nowadays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
