Sometimes for for the program to work it takes a while for it to start up and processing all the information that I have for it to process through its database Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Reporting - although they can be a little tricky to set up, the reporting function is really useful in my role and I like the level of detail included which can be set up for daily, weekly, monthly reporting or whenever i need it.

GatorLeads - We have recently added GatorLeads to our portfolio which is proving really useful for our lead generation team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

It is a little 'clunky' although some of this is definitely down to how it was set up (before i joined the company) and the amount of data it is holding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Don't rush into setting it up. make sure you consider every aspect of your business and get it right. I struggle to get what I want out of Workbooks from time to time, but I know a lot of that is down to the set up (which happened before I joined the company). Workbooks has the potentially to be a fantastic CRM, but you need to start with a very clear vision of what you want to get out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

KPI tracking and identifying interested customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks is easy to use because it just looks like a windows desktop. I use it to track sales enquiries, and I like that I'm able to hide fields that aren't relevant to me. The knowledge base and forum are good and there are loads of ideas of how else I can use Workbooks in my business further. I like being able to log in from anywhere, and their mobile version is really good. It allows me to take down details from customers when i see them rather than using pen/paper and risk losing or not being able to read what I wrote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

There are lots of reports that are simple to build, but some reports are more difficult. They have a good knowledge base to help with that though.

It took a while to figure out how to change form layouts, but once I knew how to do it, it was actually straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

You need to understand why you want CRM in the first place, and understand the value that offers to your business. I have found that my sales have increased, ,and i'm spending less time doing 'admin' so i can focus on selling more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Understand the conversion rate for Leads. It has enabled me to chase hot leads and increase conversion. I have integrated with MailChimp so I can send Campaigns easily. No more spreadsheets to track all of my customers too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easy to use, and adding additional features/fields easy.

Customised reports are very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Customisation could be better with layouts, report writing, easy to write macros (no built in script writer) like in Microsoft Access, so programming even simple scripts is virtually impossible and customisable macro buttons.

Better report functionality and formatting (ie pulling data from other reports, better layouts/templates (very basic), formatting printing reports, and be ability to run a report straight from Organisation record which is filtered on that record like an activity statement)

Dashboards are also a bit too cumbersome and not scalable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Merging two separate databases into one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The level of customisation that we can carry out in house. The reporting suite is also pretty flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

When reporting, linking to some table can really slow the reports down. Campaign membership being the main one Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
