What is SugarCRM?
SALES FORCE AUTOMATION
Sugar drives sales force performance by allowing sales representative to track and share contacts and opportunities, manage and upsell into existing accounts, forecast revenue, monitor performance through dashboards, manage quotes and contracts, work offline through our sugar mobile and collaborate through integration with Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes and other groupware applications.
MARKETING AUTOMATION
Sugar closes the loop between marketing and sales. Create, execute and track campaigns across multiple channels with the campaign wizard. Develop compelling email marketing programs and capture leads directly into your CRM system with web-to-lead forms. Manage and assign leads to your sales reps and track the marketing ROI of your programs.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Acquiring new customers is much more expensive than selling to existing ones. With Sugar customer support, companies have confidence that customer cases will be handled quickly and effectively. Sugar customer support centralizes customer service requests across channels to allow companies to manage inbound emails, diagnose bugs, share knowledge, and resolve customer issues. In addition, companies that subscribe to Sugar Enterprise or Sugar Ultimate can defray customer support costs with the included Customer Self-Service Portal.

Indeed a great CRM with effective results
Overall my experience with this CRM is great. I am using it daily and I can say that my daily work is incomplete without it. It is so simple to use and provides amazing results for reports and dashboards, their customer's support team is very responsive.

My experience has been positive. Sugar is easy to navigate.
SugarCRM Review - Walz Scale
We have been using Sugar for several years, but only in the past six months have we really dug down to fully utilize the software. The tool is fairly simple to use, I like the reporting functions, but the feedback I get from my sales team is that it is just 'clunky' to use. I'll give you one little example. For the Opportunity 'Actual Closed Won' date, I found through coming across some bad sales data for the month, that if you close a sale in January, and that same month you mark it as Closed Won. But lets say in March you want to go in and add a note to the description. Once you edit that note, (thus changing the Modify date) you autimatically changed the 'Actual Closed Won' date to March. Really messes up sales reports! When I contacted Sugar, there really wasnt an easy fix. We found SierraCRM (third part software) and Bill Convis from there helped with a solution to this problem. We have now purchased this software and believe that this will help take us to the next level of using Sugar. Sugar Support via email is usually pretty prompt, but as far as hearing from our 'Account Manager', just 2 weeks ago was the first time I heard from someone regarding our account. At that point, I had already reached out to SierraCRM, so I did not need anything from Sugar.
To summarize: Great tool, though a little clunky, but the price is not bad. Customer service could be improved, especially for companies like us who are invested in the process, and just need some help taking our sales process to the next level. Thanks!

Indeed a great CRM with effective results
Overall my experience with this CRM is great. I am using it daily and I can say that my daily work is incomplete without it. It is so simple to use and provides amazing results for reports and dashboards, their customer's support team is very responsive.
Pros
I am using it for more than three years and like almost everything about it. This CRM is very easy to use because of its simple design and easy to use user interface. I like the way SugarCRM provides reports and dashboards which is very easy to understand. SugarCRM provides secruity of data and information and now I can handle the different campaigns, create a different campaign for anyone and even get a complete picture of it very easily.
Cons
I would like to highlight one thing that I dislike about it which is its overall cost. A small organization may not afford this CRM but overall it is worth to spend on it.
Building Account Information with Details
My experience has been positive. Sugar is easy to navigate.
Pros
The description feature is great. You can add details & links for for the opportunity. Colleagues have said how much they appreciate the extra information and save how much research time having this all in one location has saved them.
Cons
Searching opportunities can be challenging unless you customize the search criteria for each individual search.

Pros
I like the Online (sugar on demand) that allows Sugar Support to get into your software and look and something you may be struggling with, like reports...
Cons
Design is little clunky. Think with some improvements, it might be easier to convert leads, update opportunities. Need less clicks!
SugarSell Review
So far, it has been helpful in generating more leads, more pipeline, and more sales, which is the goal.
Pros
Really enjoy the suite of features and options that allow for a full method of building pipeline and tracking potential leads, and giving a large amount of ways to understand what needs to happen to move forward
Cons
Often the many features and options can be cumbersome, especially when they get buggy when too many are used at the same time.
