Samuel Benavides - PeerSpot reviewer
Useful employee and client monitoring, reliable, and good online support database
I would encourage people to use this solution. Sage CRM is effective because it allows for all communication, transactions, cases, opportunities, and leads to be accessed by team members. This means that even if an individual is absent, the team can still respond to clients, customers, or suppliers in a timely manner. As a result, there is a high level of efficiency in decision-making and time management with the use of CRM. It is highly flexible. I rate Sage CRM an eight out of ten.
