What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

Sugar is highly customizable and allows for non out of the box solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

The lack of customer service and willingness to assist in ANY way, shape, or form is somewhat unheard of to me. I have never seen a platform/service with lower standards. Additionally, Sugar is very dated and lacks a friendly user interface, therefore being a major turnoff to staff ease of use and adoption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sugar Sell:

If you are looking for a cheap CRM solution to manually enter data and store your data, Sugar could be an potential option for your company. But if you are looking for an automated, user friendly tool with good customer service, I highly.. highly.. highly.. recommend you look elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We utilize Sugar to help manage our relationships with influencers on a day-to-day basis. We track data points such as personal info, correspondence, event attendance, gifting and contracts, and non specific notes. This platform does help us organize everything in one software location, but as mentioned in previous statements, the UI is dated and unfriendly, the input of data is almost 100% manual, and staff shy away from using the tool due to Sugar's many issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Martin Schneider of Sugar Sell

Hi Eric, thank you for providing us with feedback. We take our customers' reviews very seriously and use them to to help us improve. I'm sorry to hear you're not enjoying your experience with us. I'd love to assist you in having a more enjoyable experience. For example, seeing what version of Sugar you're running on and seeing if we can assist with an upgrade (I noticed the UI concerns and perhaps you're using one of our older or free CE editions that is no longer supported)? Or perhaps, getting you the resources and support you need to be successful. If you're interested, please reach out to me at mschneider@sugarcrm.com . I hope to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Martin

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

Sugar Sell allows for better tracking of revenue earning streams. It forces a usage of line items, quotes, forecasts and the renewal console among other things. The renewals console is fantastic and the BPM comes with alot of stuff out of box. The BPM system is way easier to use and the visual design is absolutely fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

BPM is limited in what it can do. The entire system is very cumbersome to design and customize to your companies needs. It takes a business analyst or two a year or more to really hone in the system for all use cases. Customization is great but man its lengthy. Maybe some more mass update featuring would help so much. Sugar sell should definitely be Integrated before a company really takes off. There are many small bugs that may occur. Knowing how to repair your own instance is key to not having to use the support line all the time. The renewal process for sell is awful because it is so new. The fact that sugar uses other companies to sell their products can slow down needed change and lead to confusion. Because their products are broken out, Sugar is now much more expensive to get a complete package of all the things you would need to completely run a company. Improvements to the module loader are far over due. It would be nice if sugar Market wasn't 12k a year minimum. We already pay alot as a small company anyways and Market has alot of what we need. We also have to pay for special customization to get both serve and sell and we know enterprise is going to go away at some point so it just seems like sugar is trying to raise their revenue without pissing off their customers by forcing a switch to more expensive subscriptions. They offer more stuff, but a more up to date general package with maybe some built in integrations would be well appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sugar Sell:

Make sure you have a lot of time to set it up. Your company needs to be over 10 people for it to really be worth it. Really nail down your products and set up a quick books integration with accounting and it will be super smooth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are completely overhauling our system to match the needs of company. Sugar sell allows for greater breakouts of SKUS, products and expands on the renewals system. Our old system did not allow for renewals well so sugar sell is going to remarkably improve our revenue tracking internally. Other than that, we are actually going to end up with all three subscription types after a while because our company will run on sugar. All the new stuff streamlines alot of the issues.

What do you like best about Sugar Sell?

Sugar does have a lot of add ons that make the platform a lot more worth while to use. But you have to be willing to upgrade and put a lot of time into getting the CRM the way you want it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Sell?

If you start with just basic or even a few of the add ons, the platform is slow, constantly needs to reload, often crashes if you are trying to do a lot at once. Compared to other CRM platforms, this just doesn't have the capacity to do what others can. Also the mobile app is trash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used Sugar to keep notes, create quotes and track order patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Aleighjean Traver of Sugar Sell

Hi there,

Everyone at Sugar appreciates when a customer takes the time to share such a thoughtful review. We take customer feedback importantly, as it helps us continuously improve to meet customers' needs. We're sorry to hear you're experiencing difficulties with load time and the mobile app. We'd love to assist you in having a more valuable experience. For example, I'm wondering if you are using Sugar in the cloud or on your own servers? Or are you using an older version of Sugar that may not have benefited from the platform developments over the past 24 months? We'd be happy to connect with you to see how we may be able to address these areas with you if you'd like. If you're interested, please feel free to email me at atraver@sugarcrm.com.

What do you like best about Sugar Market?

I like how user friendly the system is and how easy it is to build and link campaigns. I love that you can embed forms onto your website or within an email. I also appreciate the training when joining and how helpful both the Sugar Market implementation team and support team are! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sugar Market?

I dislike how some things seem to be unorganized like the way lists, campaigns, etc. are laid out. I also think this is still in a new development stage so there is a lot of room for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sugar Market:

Make sure you go in with an open-mind, willing to work with a newer program that still may have some kinks but is headed in a great direction. Know that your processes will become more automated which is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are solving numerous problems by switching to Sugar Market. 1) We use Sugar CRM so having two systems that are ran by the same company make their connection much better than using another automation system. 2) We are an international company so we have to send emails out to customers and prospects world wide, this system has made it much easier to get our emails out to countries in the APAC and EMEA region. 3) Lastly, but there is much more, we needed something that could make our marketing and sales transition much more automated!
