What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like how much information you can store in one record, whether it is a sales lead or person record, how it all links to organisations and what emails have been sent is very handy. I use workbooks primarily for sales administration, so being able to see the sales team opportunities and the features like 'close date' and being able to link records to that is also a really good feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

I think the search function could be a lot more advanced, trying to find exact people in a certain country etc, I think this would be a good feature to have. I also don't like how complicated it can be to make a report, all the different criteria you need to complete can make it tricky to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using this for sales cycles has been ideal, being able to track and update opportunities in real time so that everyone can see has been beneficial to the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

It allows our company to run our business. We can track support cases and the associated organisational contracts. As this is a SaaS system this means no server maintenance, upgrades take place at night so there is very little downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

So many windows to click and wait for things to open. At times it can take minutes for windows to open which can get very frustrating.

It's not built as a support system, so it's only logging the emails which some with categorisations and custom fields. Overtime your DB can become massive due to storing every entire email rather than reading the email and storing only the new parts.

There isn't a convenient way to see a summary of a support case you have to read every email.

Contacting their support team can be complex, they only allow 2 authorised contacts, so if your 2 colleagues happen to be off they won't answer your call. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Good system for tracking customers and contacts, opportunities etc... Tracking support cases is an add on to this and depending on how complex your needs will depend on how well workbooks does this. It works it just could be significantly better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Companies can be linked to contracts, contracts can be linked to support cases. So only active support

contracts get support.

Multiple team members can do support at the same time, without answering the same case two times.

Automated replies giving customer case numbers and a point of reply.

Integration with our accounts software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
