Extremely customisable, flexible and scalable with an intuitive user interface for most tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Prohibitively expensive education/support. That said, there is a good bank of free information, users guides and users forum on the website which means most questions can be answered with a bit of digging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its reasonably intuitive to use. Menus and Dashboards are easy to understand and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has been a little inflexible on a few tasks that we needed to do to fit our business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the easily changeable views so you can see the data you want in the layout you want. Our team, of whom some were new to using CRM has learnt to use it and use it daily, so its easy to learn and quick to use on a day to day basis, which was important to us.
The support we have had from our distributor of Workbooks, Broadcoast in Australia has been excellent which has helped us get up to speed quickly and painlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reporting took me a few attempts to get my head around it, but I have grasped it now and its very powerful. Sometimes I find the search function to be a little dumb as it needs an almost exact spelling to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works, however I'm not sure that we are utilising it in the best way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Lack of generic flexibility, you can do everything you want, however it'll cost you to have total flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A CRM for Free, just the job for a growing SME. We can search our new potential customers and staff from our database. We can intergrate as much or as little of the business onto the system as we need to Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some limitatiations possibly as we only use the free version at present and this means that we cannot customise the CRM, but to be honest at this stage we do not need to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interface, online support, ease of importing data.
We were able to get a basic grasp of the system very quickly - this was the key reason we chose Workbooks over other options we tried.
Being Internet hosted is a massive benefit also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Fake 'personalised' emails from local reseller...
Some aspects are not intuitive (best practise for follow-up activity for example) but in fairness, we haven't taken this up with anyone. If I can't find an answer online, I move on or work round it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the SAAS capabilities of Workbooks, it was very easy to customize and add fields and the support i have received from Brian Walsh of Lucid Switch has been exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No dislikes at present...................... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have tried numerous CRMs over the years and workbooks has been the only one that has ticked all the boxes for us. Because of the nature of our business we have a fast growing and ever changing customer base and Workbooks API's have enables us to hook straight into our own userbase and provided us with the power to really keep in touch with our customers at precisely the right time.

To be truthful we haven't got any major gripes with Workbooks. It really has suited our needs perfectly over the years and although change is good sometimes, with Workbooks perhaps thats not the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
