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

I like that there are links to help and videos. I also like that although slightly complicated a non-IT qualified person can get stuck into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Setting up templates is not easy. Always having to go into HTML to ensure the formatting has not changed. i.e. the font, size etc.

When editing a template, looking at it on screen sometimes looks totally different to when you use the template.

I also have had difficulty in setting up signatures so they do not appear huge. As we don't have fancy arty software at work, when I try to reduce the size using standard Microsoft software, the signatures are blurry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Very good with reporting, reminders, autofill templates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Ease of use. Ability to link emails and documents to people. A variety of activity choices. We also like the new function of adding an additional email to record Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Sometimes in the report function, if you have too man y columns they can't all appear on the screen.

For our own company we need a more reliable relationship with Event HQ and Workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

I have found Workbooks to be a reliable, no nonsense product with pretty strong customisation options. Where the company excels, in my opinion, is the support team which due to an integration project with HubSpot, has taken a huge number of calls from me in the past weeks on a range of different issues.

The issues are always dealt with quickly and where an issue has not been resolved, a suitable work around has been provided which has not affected our company processes. That and the fact it is a UK based support team does make that difference.

As a non administrator, Workbooks is intuitive and easy to navigate. As an admin, it has strong customisation and potential integration options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

I have found that more detailed integration with HubSpot has been an issue. The integration stops at the sales lead stage and as Workbooks closes leads once converted, you essentially lose any further connection between what is now an Opportunity / Person and the HubSpot contact.

In using a product like HubSpot and the versatility it has, it has shown that links and dependencies between Workbooks fields could be more 'user friendly' for non-developers and that record customisation options and form layouts could be more intuitive.

The integration to HubSpot could have more depth in terms of what information passes from HubSpot into which Workbooks records. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Workbooks can be a powerful tool but needs a little time to understand if you want to create a completely bespoke system. If you have developers available, I can imagine the power Workbooks would increase by a huge amount.

Any training as well as advanced training available to your team would be fully recommended as once you start to understand how to adapt Workbooks, things really open up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I have been dealing with business processes within our company and adapting them to our Workbooks / HubSpot system. Workbooks is strong enough and versatile enough to be able to work around any issues that have been created, but it has been the support team that has made this possible.

Having that support there and having such speedy resolution to problems has made things much easier.

Once fully understood, Workbooks could be a hugely versatile product. Admittedly, I have more to learn! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The ease of searching for information, and being able to filter down by specific types of records really helps save time as part of my role. Workbooks, is easy to use, and the online resources are very helpful, and give you a good overview of how the CRM system works. The report section is so useful and is a nice way to present information to colleges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

There isnt a huge amount to dislike, there are the occasional bugs, which can be frustrating, however the support team will always look into the issues for us in a timely manner.

There were, and with any new data systems, some migration problems,but we managed to work together with workbooks to find the best solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Keeping on top of membership applications, chasing membership fees and general invoices. Workbooks has a very effective way of ensuring we can build reports and check the status of these particular business areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
