Notes: Online Guides and Comparisons between systems not rarely accurate. Here's why!

1. CRM is not the same for every industry or type of organization. The CRM comparisons look through a wide lens and consider the broadest use cases.

 

2. The licenses are complex and the systems get upgraded all the time.  We've seen online comparisons that compare 1 vendor's FREE CRM with the most expensive / best levels from another vendor. 

3. Apples to Apples: you have to evaluate this for yourselves.

4. Start with your team's requirements - if you don't, you'll get "sold" on a system. You don't want to get sold, you want to select.
