Pros
I love how easy it is to use, and if I run into any issues, customer service is very helpful in resolving the issue.
Very user-friendly helps with organization, the set up is perfect for call Centers and the price per month well worth it. The staff and support staff were wonderful with my questions.
I like the ease of use, the dialer, and tracking all leads/contacts. It also beautifully integrates with my lead vendors and texting CRM, as well as exporting data.
Cons
Not specific caller ID which can lead some of the people we are calling to believe we are spam.
Sometimes lags on connecting to calling software.
NNot being able to drag caledar appointments when dates change.

Best B2B CRM for Outbound Lead Generation

Reviewed 5 years ago

VanillaSoft is my secret weapon! My teams are significantly more productive than they were on any other CRM software, and VanillaSoft is absolutely intuitive, requiring less than 15 minutes of training for new reps.

Pros

I have used several CRMs, but VanillaSoft is exactly the software I would create if I made B2B CRMs for a living! It allows my reps to see both the prospect they are calling, and the other contacts in the company, simultaneously, so that they can easily ask for another prospect if they are unable to reach the original target. It gives my reps powerful insight into the company they are calling, and...

Cons

The software could use a bit more power in its integration capabilities and reporting, but I appreciate that they stay focused on the core objective of keeping my reps productive!

Love VanillaSoft - have been using it for ten years - I honestly couldn't run my business without.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Increased capability, able to compete against larger competitors and offer a superior product for a competitive price. Clients love the responsiveness we can offer to their questions and suggestions on how they can improve their campaigns.

Pros

Ease of use. Our clients really like it - we get great feedback from our clients on the features. We work with marketing teams - they love what we can do for them with VanillaSoft. Love the customer support team - have enabled us to provide more customer support to our clients - makes a small company compete with larger competitors.

Cons

Not really a con - but would like a mobile app so I can address issues that arise when I am not at my desktop.
