What do you like best about Workbooks?

Extremely customisable, flexible and scalable with an intuitive user interface for most tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Workbooks is not the cheapest, nor the easiest to use right out of the box - but it offers significantly more flexibility and customisation than other CRM products that I have evaluated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a CRM system that could be customised to suit the unique requirements of our customer and product base (services and online products delivered to schools). Workbooks has allowed us to adapt easily to the changing needs of our fast growing business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

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.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Clean up your database prior to loading into the CRM, which is probably a good plan for anyone implementing a CRM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were not able to track our sales pipeline, and record meeting notes, quotes and customer contact details. We are also integrating it with Mail Chimp to log our campaigns which before were not logged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

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.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Start with the free version and see if its for you and your business. It works for me and mine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Needing to expand my business and store, sort, and search out new customers from our database or find attitional workers in a particular part of the country, has now been made easy due to the amount of information you are able to store on people and customers. It has made expansion of my business easier and quicker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

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.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

Have a clear goal in mind - what do you want to achieve from Workbooks? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Single repository for prospects and clients. Good for exporting segmented information for mail merge or other activity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

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.

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

We enjoy a fairly large number of customers joining us each day and it has become increasingly difficult to manually nurture those customers. Workbooks has really helped us to stay in tune with the customers who need us the most. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
