Pros

The combination of skills, CRM and forecasting in a single tool

I like the fact that Cinode is a specialised CRM for consultancy firms. I also love that they’re quick to roll out new features, such as the MCP server. With its help, we’ve been able to automate large parts of our business.

The switch to Sugar Sell and even more so Sugar Serve has allowed us to completely change how we use our CRM. Now we have a database that we can pull reports from and allocate processes to. Serve with CJP and BPM allows a strategic process with automated steps that need to be followed in order to reach the next step. This means that important steps are not missed. For the user, it's streamlined and user-friendly too. Well done!

Easy to use. Navigating is super easy. The user interface is nice. The support is great. I like their Dashboard.

Cons

That it is a bit tricky to make forecasts on a financial year basis

Guit can involve quite a few clicks. But you get the hang of it.

The dynamic reports need more options for graphs. I also miss detailed year-to-year reports.

Some plugins don't work very well. Especially third-party plugins. The cost to get started is quite high. It's not very customisable, but on the other hand, there are a lot of features. Sometimes it can lag a bit and take time to load. The support is slow sometimes, but they still try to solve the problems.
