Pipeline CRM reviews

Pipeline Deals has a clean interface. It's easy to use, and from the perspective of a manager, it's the sort of thing that somebody who isn't too technical (or organized) can still use efficiently. At the same time, for people who are excited about CRM functionality and drilling into client data (like me) there are some powerful tools to really target exactly the set of clients you want.
I also like the fact that when you call user support, a real human being answers the phone who is able to resolve your issues for you on the spot.

The only real issue I have with Pipeline Deals is I'd like a way to set priority on tasks either by colour code, or being able to drag and drop their order top to bottom on the calendar and agenda.

Nothing! They sell you things that they can't make true.

A total scam, after purchase they block you on social media and you can't connect on their plateform. Always getting error 504 when trying to login. Stay away from this! Totally not worth the money and trouble.

PipelineDeals is very easy to use. I like how the deal, company and people as well as all communication to with the people is rolled into one easy to read page. Adding new fields is also very easy to do - as well as adding new lines to the fields.

What I like about PipelineDeals is that it isn't as complex as other CRM systems. With that said - there are some workarounds - like adding communications with people via bcc on email - that are very cumbersome and not intuitive.

Personally I like how easy it is to access all of my deals with just a couple of clicks. Also as an inside sales representative, in my particular profession, I do not see a lot of leads that I need to follow up on so the ones that I do need to follow up on are that much more important. Pipeline Deals helps organize and reminds me daily about which leads I need to follow up on. It also allows me to make custom notes and set various times and dates in which I am reminded to follow up.

I haven't used Pipeline deals for a long time, but one thing that I would like to be able to do is upload my quotes onto pipeline deals. It would be nice to have that information attached to the customer's profile for quick access.

Pipeline has assisted my organization to effectively designate our sales approach and follow-up with our most juicy customers. We use the Pipeline Calender feature to properly manage sales calls we need to make ,and everyone on the sales team can now properly track all of our most important projects.
The entire sales team stays on the same page , as every sales person is able to read notes left by others on every profile page ; ensuring they simply need to continue from where their colleagues stopped and avoid repeating sales milestones already accomplished by others.

I want Pipelinedeals to improve on its search functionality to effectively combine tagline search results.

Mostly, I like that I can create reports based off of several different types of data, from custom field data to monetary figures.

Least of all I do not like that one can't remove past users. We can create an archive team and place them there, but their data and names show up in places where deals cross over still. I'd like to see an option where we can either completely migrate their data or delete totally.

PieplineDeals is incredibly easy to customize and use. We have over 100 PipelineDeals users across our franchise group. EVERY user has made it clear that they would not be able to track sales progress as easily as PipelinDeals has made it.

There are no real cons to PipelineDeals! I only say this because when there is a feature that is not already built into the program, you can put in a feature request and the development team will add the feature.

Pipeline is super easy to use and integrate with other software. It allows efficient management of campaigns/projects and even links emails for the related campaign to the project. Keeps all information usable and easy to access. Love it.

There were some issues with real life updates in the comments, but after reaching out to customer service, they fixed it up for us. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much more I would want from Pipeline.

Pipeline is a relatively easy to use platform for CRM, sending out email campaigns etc. Most of us want simplicity when using these and pipeline does provide that. Has just the features and needs that one looks for without being overly complicated.

I like it but I think colleagues that maybe like features, more tech etc think it is too basic or that one would need another platform to do campaigns like a mailchimp/constant contact. Maybe the platform could be clearer about how that works and whether a company needs to use another mail feature when they can do it all on Pipeline. Im not sure about that.

Building sales page, but I can't access them. I can't access anything and the cusotmer service is THE WORST I"VE EXPERIENCED IN ANY INDUSTRY

I haven't been able get past the a frozen blue screen after logging in. Customer service is appalling, if they decide to get back to you it takes at least 24 hours, and the standard response is we've reset your password (which is not the fix). I created sales pages using this app, which scrambled my domain certificates and has created a massive mess -- and customer service response...we've reset your password.

My only experience with a CRM was at a fortune 50 company. It was an in house system that was so difficult to use that no one used it. The 7AM Monday sales meetings were spent trying to understand what each person had put into their CRM and why it was reporting correctly. Needless to say- having and using a CRM was never on my to do list. Having hired an outside sales consultant to build our sales team, I was told a CRM was imperative. Having looked at a few, pipeline deals was recommended to me from a friend in EO. The big guys are way too expensive and bloated for what we needed. Pipeline deals has exceeded my expectations on all fronts. With regards to using the software and its capabilities, I feel like I just opened Excel and am thrilled to learn about the SUM() function. I haven't tapped into the full features offered yet, but I know they are there when we are ready. As for now, I'm very pleased, and everyone can use the software without any training.

It would be nice if there was a slightly less feature rich program at a reduced price. Again, compared to other CRMs, this one is a no brainer. I would say training, but there are a ton of videos and emails asking if I need help and that's all on me for not taking advantage.

All contacts are in one place. If a client calls, we can all tell if that client 'belongs' to another Agent.

It is a big database so sometimes it is slow to load. Also there are so many features that I am still learning hew to utilize them all

We love the ability to assign territory, accounts and leads to a specific group or individual this eliminates people contacting the same merchant. We are able to know when an account needs follow up, we can properly document the process and paperwork throughout. Nothing falls thru the cracks with this. I love being able to upload excel files quickly. This also allows us to drop market emails to merchants as well.

This is definitely more expensive than similar crm systems but you get what you pay for. If your a small organization might not be for you.

UI is very intuitive, the excel style dashboard on companies/ deals/ people is great. Its a solid CRM that does most of what you need from a CRM.

1. PD does not log changes made on the fields, and on some part that it does, it is not easily accessible / extract-able to build a report from. I.e. Qualification status at Company level, can be "To be Qualified" -> "1st Qualification Meeting Done" -> "Qualified in" or "Qualified Out". The fact that PD does log field changes, makes it difficult to report on overtime progress. What can be reported on is limited to the current snapshot.
2. No automatically calculated field for Enforcement. i.e. Deal amount is equal to $X from product A + $X from Product B + $X from product C, it will be great if deal amount were to be changed, PD can prompt a message to enforce that the $X from Product A/B/C is also updated and sums out properly.
3. When creating an Agenda, there is an Agenda Type. Once the Agenda is completed, the Agenda Type detail cannot be retrieved, PD will only show the Agenda Title and Description.

Ease of use, email campaigns feature, unlimited custom fields, tasks/events easy to manage and schedule to followup with leads.

Intermittent sporadic downtime, doesn't have the ability to use multiple filters to tailor deals, tasks, and leads specifically for a certain report necessary to our business, sometimes creates duplicate leads stemming from the same phone number that already has an existing lead created.

The software is easy to use and navigate. Able to customize to make the program work for you. Email campaign functionality is very useful. Workflow automations help the sales process run itself.
The company is still learning and are adding new functionality on a frequent basis.

Difficult to get the filtering to do everything you want. Formatting the email campaigns can be a challenge; all images need to be hosted on another server.

I love that everyone can create their own dashboards according to the variables or columns that are relevant to their work. These charts are visible to one or more users and it's helpful to keep track of task completion. I love that they include email automations to set up reminders for specific users within PipeLineDeals.

If not used properly, it can become cluttered with unnecessary information and profiles that are useless. The key is to set up profiles and leads correctly to avoid this.
