What do you like best about Workbooks?

I like the reporting aspects of Workbooks and the flexibility of using one report to create several. We use Google mail and Dropbox for sending out letters with attached documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The downside to using workbooks is not using the lead option facility to suit our needs. We run reports based on inquiries to our website, and the reporting options are from either a "person" or an "organisation record. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Workbooks:

I would ask them to look at how there will use the system and set it up properly. We didn't set it up the best way for our set up, and it has now caused problems with how we make it work better for our current needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem has usually been using mailshot for sending out marketing materials to our clients. The reports used for these campaigns were difficult to produce correctly. Still, once Abid had shown me the correct way to run the information and send the mailshot, it has improved my work productivity, and I am now more confident in using these tools.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

The features that are offered are very nice we don't use the system as a sales system so we're not using entirely everything that is available but it works very well for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Since we aren't using it as a sales system, there are features that I'm sure are very powerful that we leave by the wayside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Workbooks have helped our team stay on the same page as we've dealt with the pandemic and that increased visibility across our team has helped us achieve positive outcomes for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

I love how customisable Workbooks is.

It is a fully flexible system that can be stretched as far as you wish it to go. We have built so far with very little resistance from the product itself and some great support from Workbooks and a 3rd party recommended by Workbooks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

The same thing that I like the best. It is a very flexible system that requires a lot of input to get the most out of it. It can be complicated and require some professional help to get off the ground, but it is worth the effort and investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Workbooks has become an internal reference portal for the sales and marketing team, helping us save alot of time and effort when we are planning, reporting and doing our outreach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

It's great if you've got a lot of time to spare and love repeating tasks and double handing information. The enrich feature is particularly useful when it comes to pulling in data from the wrong company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

Pretty much everything about the tool, from the overly complicated UI, to the features and functions it doesn't have that even free offerings support. The lack of integration with absolutely anything else that you could want to use as a business stands out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Workbooks mostly creates problems for me. From its lack of ability to integrate with email tools (and the lack of ability to trigger emails in real time), to not integrating with reveal, to lacking basic out of the box reports it's a step back to the mid 2000's.

What do you like best about Workbooks?

Very simple, easy to configure, usability on a phone is very good even though there isn't an app.

Very easy to configure your own reports and pipelines.

I've used ACT, Sage CRM & Sales-i in the past and they aren't as good as this.

Sales-i wins on the reporting, but the crm at the time was extremely elementary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Workbooks?

It is a bit slow pulling the data from our Sage system, i.e. we have a products purchase report that will take 20seconds to load. but it is pulling a lot of data so it's acceptable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

ability to see everything i need from a sales point of view at a customer or prepping for a call

solves needing multiple reports for reviewing a customer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
