What do you like best about Workbooks?

I honestly love how it works in reports, since it can generate basically what my need, an extremely useful option.

When I think of these reports generated by the program I hope it is the same program that determines which information is the most important to report while with workbooks I have a great power in the reports since it can report me basically what I want and as I wish.

This is critical help in obtaining the useful information for each particular case since not everyone needs the same information.

And if you are a very visual person like me, it will be of great help since the report is very visual. This is another reason why I like this program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

What really displeases me about this program is that it is not easy to set up and program. It's very customizable and its reports can be configured to suit my needs visually, it is also true that to reach that level of configuration you need hours of effort and patience to learn how to configure everything correctly. What displeases me is that there should be a way to simplify all these features since at least I sometimes get upset about such settings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you are looking for CMR software with good technical support, attentive and available 24/7 for you, this is one of the best options in your market. In addition to this, if you are concerned about having an ununderstandable report it is advisable to optimize its configuration to meet your needs which is possible with previous configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Certainly this program has solved a lot the issue of support in our company, because whenever we have a problem or do not understand a configuration, especially with the topic of reports, the technical support has always been there to respond and clarify our doubts. This has saved us a lot of time and frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks flexibility enables us to edit and format the system precisely as we would like. It is pretty easy to use as it is intuitive. We are able to find everything we need about our customers in just a few clicks. The layout is user friendly. It works pretty well on every device. The marketing options are great as we are able to track all our mailings in the blink of an eye. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Sometimes the support isn't that good. Is does really depend on who is helping you. That being said: most times their help desk is responding quick and coming up with quick solutions to problems.

The package isn't suitable for large companies, but it's a great pick for small businesses.

Configuring the system takes some time. There are a lot op available options and to create a tailor made experience is time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Compare different systems and see what fits you best. Make sure you work together with someone who has experience in setting up systems like these. And take your time to shape your ideal environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using a huge Excelsheet which was too big to work with. After using Workbooks we created a clear database with all our clients and all their information only a few clicks away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The configuration is simple and straightforward and yet at the same time is really powerful as you can easily add report cells, meaning that it gives a much broader view of the client.

I like the mapping module and again you can customer this to show the information that you need as a business.

Integration with Web Insights and Gatormail plus the workflow means that you have a platform that offer marketing automation.

Easy to set up new users but also very secure, if you use the the security features.

The service offered by the support team is second to none - always patient, exceptionally knowledgeable and always solution oriented.

I could not do my job without Workbooks

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

I would like more ability to be able to change layouts of PDF's so I can make changes as and when the business needs it.

I would like more information when I receive errors when creating reports, or a bit more content on the Knowledge Base about this so that I do not need to refer my queries to Support as often.

In particular my use was mostly for marketing and I must say that it is one of the best software I have used for this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Need to make sure that you do not use Internet explorer, especially with the gator mail add-on as it is then very slow but runs brilliantly on other browsers.

The knowledge base is good but if would be helpful to have printable pdfs of the pages so that you can use them as manual when printed out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks is a brilliant self-service product that has enabled my company (insurance based) to take complete control of our data, something we lacked with our previous platform. Though the CRM package was not built to support a company like ours, we have been able to customise our databases heavily to meet our needs. This has been helped massively by the amazing Support team, and I must mention Sam Harris and Alix Snell in particular.

I love being able to create my own reports. This allows me to support my colleagues by providing useful statistics, but also helps me locate specific records quicker and easier than if I were to search using Views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

I would benefit greatly from more specific error messaging when creating Calculated Columns in Reporting, or some more information about what may cause specific errors in the Knowledge Base. I am not confident with SQL and the differences between formulas that work in SQL vs Excel can cause some confusion for us sometimes.

Additionally, I would love to be able to use the search bar to search by 'Id', purely to save some time when looking for a particular record. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you have a strong sales/marketing focus in your company, Workbooks is the one for you. It is easy to pick up if you have never used CRM software before and is able to provide all the statistics that you may need. If you want to be able to expand your business and need to customise your database to support this, this is easy to do with Workbooks either by yourself or with the help of their fantastic Support team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

Though I joined the company after they began working with Workbooks, I understand that this product is superior to our previous platform in many ways but particularly because we can create reports ourselves, something we would have to send off for previously. I am able to have complete control of our data with Workbooks and create, amend and export this at any time by myself. This saves our company money and time, and allows us to feel more involved with our own products than we have in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

We use Workbooks as our CRM, deals pipeline the board, request book, invoicing instrument, and advertising the executives framework. Throughout the years we have gradually added more things to the rundown of things we use Workbooks . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

In some cases be somewhat moderate and goes slow every now and then yet this is genuinely uncommon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Workbooks solving and how is that benefiting you?

The Dashboard highlight is especially great in Workbooks, it implies that we can see, initially, the status of our business pipeline and what product is performing well and who isn't and what product we are probably going to zero inventory for the up and coming months.

at times, the software can run a bit slow, not too slow but it can get a little frustrating especially if the help desk is busy (which it can be). also it would be cool if you could have a tad bit more freedom in regards to editing pdf files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
