Cons

A very good application in which there are no downsides

Pros

Basic features are all here - also in the standard edition. But you have to buy many addons to get this working (e.g. pdf-Export) for daily work. Also the interest in the community edition seems not to be that high from Vtiger. Difficult to get free know how, also with extensive research.

Reasons for Switching to Vtiger CRM

Pros

The interface is familiar to those who have used Sugar-based CRM platforms before and is probably one of the better ones of them.

Cons

The process of upgrading between versions is clumsy and error prone. The UI is not particularly friendly for less technically able members of the team.

Pros

Its very powerful for use, understand an customize, One of the best CRM's open source from 2004-2014, that cover the income and outcome process of any mid-size organization. with tools provided by community that complement it and make it strength and powerful.

Cons

the manufacturer forget the community and focus its work in On Demand version and it set aside the community that helped develop and grow globally. Today it is positioned as a standard CRM that hardly provides valuable characteristics to the market, as it is no longer open source

Reasons for Switching to Vtiger CRM

Pros

The product works, it has everything a CRM needs to have. The basic features are all there, and many advanced ones as well. It is quite comfortable to use once you learn how to use it. It is 100% Cloud, so the sales force has it available from wherever they are.

Cons

It looks like software designed to be a desktop application (win32), rather than software as a service. That is, the user interface (UI) design, as well as the user experience (UX) is not good. It's not very user friendly, it's not fast, the graphic design is not sexy. In short, it looks like a product that is not intended to be 100% SaaS, but to run on the Windows desktop.

Pros

Vtiger has been a game changer for us especially the sales team. it has various features that makes sales and marketing more profitable and its very enjoyable to work with.
The best feature in Vtiger is the sales automation and emails marketing options. We are able to conduct sales online with ease which makes us reach more customers which increases productivity.
This too is also very affordable which reduces marketing cost on other avenues.
The ability to install this tool in our phones is also an advantage for us. We work from anywhere with this app which leads to higher yields.

Cons

frankly the software has worked wonders for us. We cant dare rate this tool below 8/10.

Pros

The bulk database holding capacity and simple system of a funnel which has a good flow of data and upgradation .

Cons

The page open loop which takes too much of time to load is consuming too much of time . Homepage is too backward and needs a lot of improvement .

Pros

Vtiger have a lot of configuration possibilities, it's reliable software.

Cons

For administrator it's complicated to configure and implement.

Pros

When starting out, Vtiger pretty much covered all the sales automation needs we had using the existing modules and very little custom work was required which is what you need as you get to know a piece of software.

Cons

The deployment process had quirks and had to redo it a couple of times, not difficult, just has to be done a certain way.

Reasons for Switching to Vtiger CRM

Pros

What I like the most about Vtiger is that I can manage my business activities in one place specially the ones involved in sales & marketing.
VTiger has evolved in the last years, bringing a better user experience, and making it more intuitive.
VTiger has helped our sales team to have all the quotes and proposal documents updated and centralized.
I like the way that you can collaborate with all the sales team, sharing contacts information, and always knowing the status of the opportunities.

Cons

Although VTiger has evolved a lot in the last years, the follow up activities could be more intuitive. It would be great that the notifications and reminders always appeared on screen until they have been completed.

Pros

vtiger is the best choice for a small to medium-sized company. The range of functions and possibilities is enormous. The system can also be easily adapted by less experienced people and integrated into existing business processes. The workflow function is extensive and gives a considerable additional benefit in the daily work.

Cons

vtiger has weaknesses when it comes to designing communication by normal mail. Templates can be created for all order documents, but when it comes to a simple letter, the processing is very cumbersome. In itself, vtiger is not suitable for normal mail.

Pros

the best part is the accessibility: beyond the fact that you can connect via any web browser, there's the mobile app ( with offline option and other awesome features ) and the Gmail addon which is superb; i mean with just 2 3 clicks you create the opportunity and link the conversation directly from your inbox ( genius!)
overall the accessibility and overview of the data is really really good.

the other great feature present in almost every part is the flexibility with which you can create the reports, the templates, the way you store the documents, etc.

i'm not sure about the other CRM solutions out there, but so far VTiger CRM proved to be a great adaptable solution, which ( at least on the sales representative side of our business) has brought us much improvement especially on the time : no more need to dedicate hours to update the system at least a few hours each week, it can be done instantly and in a few clicks you can even track the doubles and merge the data, but also the reaction time - easy to prepare the quote and send it directly to the customer/partner.

Cons

the only downside i can think of is the slow chat - internal communication tool seems to be "on standby" or still under development, but it exists .

Pros

Compare with other CRM option is a great value for money (especially for a small company like ours).
You work very hard and steadily to improve your product (we witnessed it over the years)
The support is great.

Cons

Email campaigns need to be improved (for ex.: is very complex to resend an email campaign to those who unopened it. I would like to operate on the list of people in the email campaign reports as the list of emails that bounced or clicked without having to open one by one each contact)
A better way to order the email templates and the email campaigns.

Pros

Amazing contact database and contact management systems. I used customer tracking to reach more customers on more platforms.
Manage support and sales in addition to marketing.
If you have teams everyone can work together, if you're managing on your own you can get a lot of work done within Vtiger. Less running back and forth between systems.
Forms can be customized *to an extent*. The pilot version is free, the paid version won't break the bank.

Cons

I couldn't find a way to format reports and exporting data was a slow and difficult process. As I mentioned in the review title, Vtiger CRM is not user friendly. I stayed late in the office doing my best to get it up and running.

Pros

Easy to use environment

GUI

Easy integration with 3rd party apps for email, calendar, contacts, telephones

Always improving products on the cloud version

Collaboration with ease

workflows across the whole sales process, including post sales

Cons

sometimes it freezes

after every update there could be a hiccup

sometimes sync settings and integrations got lost

invasive notifications

annoying sounds

change of buttons placement tend to confuse after you get used to it

Pros

Ease of use, storage capacity, privacy, application add ons and customer service. Allowing the different roles within my company certain accessibility parameters, but does have limitations.

Cons

Separate modules don't easily connect for systemic workflows. Customer service. Amount needed to spend to get extra storage and flexibility for workflows. Accessibility to block groups of users from doing certain things.

Pros

With Vtiger I can integrate all the company. Logistic, Sales, After Sales support, customers

Cons

Nothing. All Is perfect. I don't have anuncio problem with this CRM

Pros

We have been using VTiger for over a year, with the passage of time it has become a very useful tool as well as easy to use already in the first use.

We appreciate the possibility of modifying and creating new modules to support those present to strengthen the traceability of information to the sales department that would not have only management software.

The sales department is able to keep its customer portfolio active with simplicity and to propose new solutions or opportunities during the bidding process by using the possibility of sending offers directly from VTiger.

Cons

Some missing features in the marketing module like the ability to manage multiple mailing lists in a single Marketing list

Pros

It is a solid basic CRM. It provides all of the essentials for capturing customer data and sending it off the the next step in the sales cycle.

Cons

The system is rigid, so making changes to match your internal workflow may not be super easy to accomplish. Also, integrating a payment solution may be more work than necessary.

Pros

the easy implementation and personalization, I can create my own workflow and create my own fields, this is very important for my bussines.

Cons

the poor support we have a open source version and in Ecuador don't exist people who know about this software

Pros

The Software is very easy to use and can be customized as per our requirement. We were looking for something which we can customized as and when we require. And our search ended here.
Now I am so impressed with the applicability of the software that I am looking forward for Real-Estate module too and would request you to help out there too.

Cons

Just adding some dynamic fields for more control on entries can be like a cherry on the cake otherwise it seems superb so cheers to the Team.

Pros

Adaptability and support

Cons

very little at all,
One bad shortcoming is that we have to save documents locally and then upload,rather than being able to save directly into V Tiger - this is time consuming and seems totally illogical. For invoicing, you also need to have a spreadsheet structure as opposed to having to enter each line of the invoice individualyy and do all of the maths manually
