ACT Works for this Sales Guy
I have used it for over 25 years and I find it invaluable.
Pros
The CRM is a good but it is great as a tool to send personalized emails and letters to groups of people.
Cons
It takes up a lot of memory and with a low gig computer can be an issue.
Response from Act!

30-year user great program but could still be a little better
Like I said the flexibility is is very good and helpful. It has grown and expanded with the times. The customer service is probably the best with any company I deal with. I wish they had longer hours or 24/7 because of my schedule I work with people all over the world and sometimes wind up needing help in the middle of the night. It's gotten too pricey but it is an extremely powerful program and I've enjoyed using it since the early '90s. I've been through several different owners of the program. The current [sensitive content hidden] seeing the most committed to customer service.
Pros
I've been using acts for over 30 years. I like its flexibility and how it has grown over the years. I do wish it had a better mobile application. It doesn't match the desktop well enough. The thing I like best is the customer support if you are a premium member. But it is very costly.
Cons
The price has gotten almost prohibitive. Other programs are much more affordable. The mobile app for your phone is not up to the high standards that I have come to expect from act for over 30 years.

HubSpot CRMReasons for Switching to Act!
It's tough to switch after 35 years. But I'm going to do it anyhow because the cost is not prohibitiveResponse from Act!
Hi Thom, We value your feedback. If you're using our desktop version, you might want to check out Act! Premium Cloud as it's less expensive and integrates beautifully with Act!

Difficulties !!!
In the last two years I have accumulated a list of difficulties that I have experienced with ACT. Until two weeks ago there were 45 items on the list as well as screen grabs showing the error messages and bizarre things that have taken place. I finally discontinued using one ACT business services. I've had more than six sales people contact me in an effort to upgrade or whatever and each time i complained about problems. Only one person out of that group responded with a solution Warren Meredith. He instructed me to contact ACT Support. I very recently upgraded and contacted ACT Support and I am presently in the process of HOPEFULLY solving the problems. We'll see once I have finished.
Pros
Act is a great program when it works. I have been using it for well over 25 years.
Cons
After purchasing ACT from Costco 25 or more years ago the software ownership has changed multiple times. Each time the customer service has gotten worse and the program updates have gotten more expensive. Subcontractor customer service people have been really poor and unable to solve problems when contacted and in some cases made the problems worse. For example having to restart the program 11 times in one eight hour period of time because it crashed.... among many other problems

Would highly recommend
Brilliant - I would highly recommend ACT to anyone as a full on CRM system, there is definley more we could do with the system, but it is having the time to speak to [sensitive content hidden] who is fantastic.
Pros
We can adapt the layout to our needs and the support from [sensitive content hidden] is absolutely fantastic, even if it is a small query. It works well with our records with dates etc and getting the reports we require is perfect
Cons
There are no cons as we have adapted the system to suit our needs with the help of [sensitive content hidden]

Liking AMA
Mostly positive. Use the CRM and AMA. AMA is easy to use and the stats go into the CRM. One Stop Shop.
Pros
All in one affordable solution for a CRM with AMA.
Cons
APC does not have all the functionality of the Desktop version. Therefore we have RDB's and sync so that we have the extra functionality. Often times the ACT servers are too busy for us to sync successfully during the day. We have to wait until after hours to sync.
