What do you like best about Workbooks?

Automated attaching of all email activity direct to records in the database, easy to get started and find your way around Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

sometimes complex to create relationships, reports are hard to set up and create without a great knowledge of the system Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

General use as CRM tool, easy to manage work load between a team during absence etc. as fully recorded information. Previous to WorkBooks we didn't really have a CRM solution which could hold sales leads or general sales contacts, I found it impossible to do my job to the full, with WorkBooks I now have fully trackable contacts.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The level of configuration is excellent and, whilst there is a great deal of potential for customisation, it is user friendly enough not to require finite detail and so is quick to change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The reporting suite would be significantly improved through the functionality of cross tab reporting, rather than just list reports. This would reduce the need to export to Excel for manipulation in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

If you are looking for a CRM that is easy to use, allows easy access to data, and is simple to configure to your needs, then you have to consider Workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Time management and project management can be mapped out as activities across our business. This allows for us to monitor the status of a project at a given time, without the need for additional project task documents, which is a great benifit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The ease of transferring contact date from Outlook to Workbooks. Also whilst Workbooks is clearly a bespoke product, it can easily be adapted to suit the needs of your own business. Workbooks offer consultancy work to perform much of this for you or can train an administrator so you can do it in house

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Sometrimes the WOC can be a bit unstable and not start up but it's fine as you can just re enable the add in in Outloook options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Easier means of sharing contact data, much faster and easier process. Streamlining process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Workbooks is very simple to use once you get you head around it. I have used Salesforce in previous jobs so the lack of drag and drop features was a little weird at first but their 'list' system has really grown on me now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The dashboards could do with some serious updating. They have a very old school look and feel to them but not in a cool retro way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use WB for B2B management for the partners we work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The ability to link suppliers, customers, transactions, emails and more is a great feature which we have used extensively.

The CRM is incredibly flexible and can be customised for different users, user levels etc. It is an all round package! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The reporting function is very difficult to use at first and takes some getting used to. The user guides and help area can be a bit difficult to use and can often to help answer your question.

Also, Workbooks can be slow when you have lots of reports/ documents open, this can be a pain and can freeze your laptop but this happens with most CRMS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Get training on the reporting writing function, it can make all the difference! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to link emails from all stakeholders in one easy to use package which enables us to store a history of data and in addition if we ever encounter any problems, Workbooks is able to provide an easy solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

It's high level of functionality and customisation. If there is something that I want to do, I pretty much know there will be a way of doing it, it's just a case of working out how. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The back end is incredibly complicated and takes a lot of getting used to. It's quite quirky in places and not very intuitive. There are tons of help videos that do make the process easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The management of marketing campaigns and our marketing pipeline. The reporting function, which we've barely scratched the surface of, has been hugely beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
