Top 10 Reasons to Consider Open Source CRM

“While open source CRM solutions have been around for many
years, some businesses are hesitant to try them for a variety of
reasons, including the perception that they are not as
sophisticated or as reliable as traditional CRM solutions and/or do
not provide support. But as eCRMGuide.com found out from talking to
Martin Schneider, the senior director of communications at
SugarCRM, a leading provider of open source customer relationship
management (CRM) software, today’s open source CRM solutions are

traditional proprietary CRM applications.

“More bang for your CRM buck. Not counting the free open source
solutions out there (including SugarCRM’s Community Edition),
commercial open source CRM solutions, such as SugarCRM’s Enterprise
edition still cost significantly less than, say, Salesforce.com’s
Enterprise edition — $600 per user/per year vs. $1,500 per
user/per year — and offer similar features, functionality and
support.”
