Can anyone give me the low-down on these products. I suggest responses
should appear in the alt.business.misc newsgroup (I'm kinda fishing around
here since *nobody* is talking about sales force automation (SFA) in
usenet).
We are about to choose between two mid-tier SFA tools: Pivotal (scope is
little broad for our focus, impeccable credentials) and SalesLogix (1.0
product, claims to do much of what Pivotal already does - for half the
cost).
I'm concerned about claims of data structure modifications being
seamlessly accommodated during software upgrades. This is especially a
concern with SalesLogix where I'm also curious if there is a record of the
remote client synchronization working at all with 40 remote clients.
We boiled it down to these two with few criteria: Software cost less than
those top ten guys charge; has to run out-of-the-box; we have to manage
contacts against multiple sites, instead of company head offices; and we
want to manage activities against opportunities; oh, and we want to make
these modifications ourselves.
