Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • With Act!, our nonprofit was able to manage vast amounts of data efficiently, which was crucial for our research and training programs aimed at addressing diversity challenges in fire departments.
  • I first started using ACT many years ago when I was managing all the sales and marketing for my computer software company. It did the job I needed done, making it easy for me to look up interactions with individuals and companies. I never used more than 20% of the features, I must admit. Once I left that business I continued to use ACT in a personal/private manner. Life is complicated. I depend on ACT to track my friends, relatives, and all the companies and professionals I interact with. Again, I don't probably even use 20% of the features anymore, but what it does for me is priceless. Easy to use and dependable. Best software I know.
  • I can import online registrations direction into ACT!, manage students, send weekly lessons, all from one program.
  • Act! is pretty easy to use, and to navigate through. It is great to help me organize the tasks that need to be done. I LOVE that I can prioritize my tasks, set alerts/reminders, and roll over any tasks that I couldn't get done today, into tomorrow's list, and they will all be prioritized again tomorrow!
  • I thought I had lost all my contacts and the Act! Support Team was very quick to respond. My call was answered in under 3 minutes and they did everything they promised. I would highly recommend Act!
  • That my IT guy handled it and your IT guy worked with my IT guy. I pretty much listened like a canine would when humans talk.
  • Changes are not significant every year, they listen to the customers. Integration is good with other products.
  • Act! is an infallible platform when it comes to communicating with the client, this platform is essential to be able to have a constant retention of negotiations, one of the first features that I liked about this platform is the ability it has to do automatic analysis, This platform offers me a system which allows me to generate automated analysis, it is capable of collecting all the information regarding the negotiations and the potential client registered within the platform, in this way it offers you a detailed report on the rate of satisfaction with clients. , the total deals completed, the total deals canceled and many other statistics, I consider that these automatic statistics help me a lot to save time when it comes to obtaining detailed reports. The platform has mobile access, through an application, this application is quite beneficial when it comes to organizing your sales automation system, in addition, you can also perform marketing automation through this application, I consider this application to be quite functional and beneficial . This platform has a drag and drop system, which allows you to create an automated system in a matter of seconds, you just have to drag and drop each of the actions that have to be executed when the client requires it, so that this can be executed quickly. through the marketing system. This pretty perfect CRM system offers you constant communication with your potential client so that you can retain them for as long as possible, also offers an immediate registration to your contacts page for each potential client, so that you can have privileged contact information, in addition , you will have a system that will help you follow up on each potential client to meet all the requirements during the negotiation process.
  • It's easy to use (if you're a dedicated Windows user), the Search function is fabulous, you can build your own template layout, put fields where you want them, create your own background design, keep detailed records about transactions/communications. It truly is ALMOST the single greatest database ever made.
  • Customer and sales process tracking, along with document templates are the functions I use on a daily basis.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • BIGContacts has completely changed how I manage my contacts. Having all the details—names, emails, and past interactions—in one place makes it easy to stay organized and pick up conversations seamlessly, even after a long time. The custom fields feature is quite helpful for tracking specific information. The email marketing tools are also excellent. Automating campaigns saved me so much time, and the ability to personalize emails and segment contacts for targeted messages really boosted engagement.
  • BIGContacts CRM has taken our email marketing and workflow automation to new heights, making our business operations more streamlined and efficient. We can segment our contacts based on various criteria, ensuring that our messages reach the right audience at the right time. Additionally, we can assign follow-up tasks, send automated reminders, and triggering specific actions based on customer behavior.

Cons

  • It would be great if BIGContacts offered a downloadable or on-premise version for businesses that prefer offline access or have specific security needs. However, the cloud-based setup works well for flexibility and convenience, so it’s not a major drawback.
  • We would like to see more advanced search and filtering options in the upcoming versions of the application.
