Incredible value for the price

ADP Workforce has been a game-changer for our remote team. Collaboration features work seamlessly and everyone stays aligned regardless of location. Video quality and reliability are top-notch.

Feature-rich but overwhelming for simple needs

We adopted Teams because it’s included in our Office 365 subscription. For our 75-person healthcare clinic, it does the job but feels like overkill for our relatively simple collaboration needs.

The video calling works well for our staff meetings and telehealth consultations. Screen sharing helps when IT needs to troubleshoot issues remotely. The integration with our Outlook calendars means joining meetings is seamless.

However, Teams feels bloated with features we don’t use. The interface is cluttered with tabs and options that confuse less tech-savvy staff. Training our nursing staff – who range from digital natives to technology-hesitant – required more effort than anticipated.

File sharing through Teams creates confusion about whether documents live in Teams, SharePoint, or OneDrive. We’ve had instances of staff working on outdated versions because they weren’t sure where the ‘real’ file was stored.

Can’t imagine working without MarketWave

We evaluated 4 different solutions before choosing MarketWave, and I’m so glad we did. The pricing is competitive but the value is exceptional. Features that would cost extra elsewhere are included in the base plan.

Game-changer for our team

The reporting and analytics capabilities in Zenefits have given us insights we never had before. We can now make data-driven decisions with confidence. The dashboards are customizable and easy to understand.

Highly recommend SalesForce Pro for any technology business

The mobile app is fantastic – I can manage everything on the go without missing a beat. Push notifications keep me informed and the interface is just as good as the desktop version.

Perfect CRM for growing startups – unbeatable free tier

As a startup founder, I evaluated 8 different CRMs before settling on HubSpot. Eighteen months later, I’m still convinced it was the right choice. We started on the free plan with 6 users and graduated to Professional as we scaled to 23 team members.

The free tier genuinely delivers value – unlimited contacts, full feature access for core CRM functions, and no time limits. This allowed us to prove ROI before spending a dime. When we did upgrade, the $450/month cost was easily justified by the automation and reporting features we gained.

The user interface is intuitive enough that our team needed minimal training. New hires are productive within days, not weeks. The email tracking feature shows exactly when prospects open emails, which has improved our follow-up timing significantly.

Integration with the Marketing Hub is where HubSpot shines brightest. We can see the complete customer journey from first website visit through closed deal, all in one system. The attribution reporting helped us optimize our marketing spend, reducing CAC by 22%.

QuickBooks Online exceeded our expectations

We’ve been using QuickBooks Online for a year now and it has completely transformed how our vp of marketing team operates. The interface is intuitive and the features are exactly what we needed. Setup was straightforward and the onboarding process was excellent.

Solid but outgrown at 25+ employees

We used QuickBooks Online for 3 years as we grew from 8 to 28 employees across 3 retail locations. It served us well initially, but we’ve hit limitations that require a migration to a more robust ERP system.

For the first two years, QuickBooks handled our needs adequately. Multi-location inventory tracking, basic job costing for our construction projects, and consolidated reporting across entities worked reasonably well. The accountant access made year-end tax preparation straightforward.

However, as we expanded, the limitations became problematic. Multi-entity consolidation requires manual workarounds, advanced inventory features like landed costs aren’t available, and the user permission controls are too basic for our segregation of duties requirements.

At $80/month for Plus plus $35/month per user for 8 users, we’re spending $360/month – approaching the cost of entry-level ERP systems that would better serve our growing complexity.

Finally, project management that teams actually use

After trying Trello, Monday.com, and ClickUp, we finally found our project management solution with Asana Premium. Our 24-person creative agency has been using it for 14 months with 100% team adoption.

The multiple project views are game-changing. Designers prefer Board view for visual workflow management, account managers use Timeline view to track project milestones against deadlines, and leadership uses Portfolio view to monitor resource allocation across all active projects.

Custom fields allow us to track project-specific data – client priority level, estimated hours, actual hours, creative brief status, and approval stages. This data feeds into reports that show our project profitability and team utilization rates.

The Forms feature standardized our project intake process. Clients submit creative requests through a branded form that automatically creates properly structured projects with the right assignees and due dates. This eliminated the email chaos of ‘quick requests’ that previously disrupted planned work.

Best CRM Software solution we’ve implemented

I was skeptical at first because of the price point, but Pipedrive has more than paid for itself. The time savings alone justify the cost, not to mention the improved accuracy and reduced errors.
