Reviews of Efficy CRM
Much more than a CRM, it is a complete product to manage "knowledge" within your company
Comments:
- better communication within the company
- better process in place to manage information
- better sales activities
Pros:
We have been implementing this tool in 2011. we have 5 different departments with 5 different needs and we have with Efficy to help our different needs. - amazing flexibility to customize your own process, fields, lookup etc... - very good presentation. "flat" design straight to the point. - good communication with the supplier to move forward your project. If you are looking for a tool that will support different specific needs from sharing information, dealing with sales needs, managing pool of pictures, you will make the right choice with this tool. We had also the possibility to "feed" more than 80% of our website with information coming directly from Efficy (text, pictures, profiles, etc..). Great tool
Cons:
The great flexibility is sometimes "challenging" in the sense that due to the fact that we can add so many features... sometimes it could disturbing for the users and for the project manager to follow.
Versatile CRM with a very broad functionality set
Comments: Once you get the hang of it, you will find out that Efficy really is a great and versatile CRM. It's easy to use Web-Interface is very adaptable and has a great system of customizable views. Efficy has been neatly integrated into our way of working without a minimum amount of development and the learning curve for our employees wasn't too steep so that the transition from our old system to Efficy went fluently. Often forgotten when making a buying decision but I really would like to stress on the quality of the customer support at Efficy's. Good customer care will make your CRM journey a lot easier and with Efficy you will find out that they can make the difference with the competition.
Pros:
Versatile Customer Care Easy to use web-based fast Outlook integration
Cons:
The webinterface can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning Importing data has to be handled by the programmers, the built-in import tool is a bit outdated.
Ines CRM
Pros:
a database were one team can have access to information simultaneously
Cons:
I cannot really precisely say because I have not had a proper formation to learn how to use it but i would love to in the near future

Hi Riham and thank you for your review Nice to read that you're starting to work on one of our solutions. Concerning training, you can ask for a training to our team. Indeed, it's always nice to come back to the roots and basics. See you The Efficy team
Cannot imagine to be using another system
Comments:
I've known Efficy since the beginning.
The system and it's logic behind has always felt natural for me and easy to use. The amount of information that can be put into it stays manageable and clear thanks to the ability to view everything from different point of views and still be able to find the data you need where you need it.
I would recommend it to everyone who wants to work efficient and productive.
The ease of use combined with the possibility to integrate the system with well-spread tools like Office and the possibility to integrate it with nearly every other system makes Efficy CRM a incredible powerful tool that stays flexible and agile despite the power of the system.
Pros:
- easy to use - web-based >> reachable everywhere
Cons:
-
Very flexible and easy to use
Comments:
Centralised customer information
Sales is making offers in an uniform offer template
Better view on sales' agenda and activity
Pros:
- Very easy to use and intuitive - Flexible: Easy to add or change fields to the system using the configuration tool - Queries/Reports: End users can create queries & reports by themselves - Outlook synchronization works very well - Interfacing with other software (SAP, Qlikview) using the datasynchro tool allows you to load data from other software. - Office integration allows you to create templates in an easy way - Efficy has the possibility to work offline.
Cons:
- Efficy on mobile phone still has some space for improvement (In development). - The offline installation need to be setup by a technical skilled person.
Very complete tool for CRM
Comments: Overall satisfied
Pros:
Many features can be customised, easy to manage client's data and sale pipeline
Cons:
sometimes it had error, or page is not updated, or digital signature status has to be refreshed manually

Hi Jie, and thank you for your review Always nice to read such comments on our solution. Have you ever tried to reach our support team to see how we could improve the issues you're highlighting? Don't hesitate to contact us Have a nice day The Efficy Team
Efficy drives you to persist in maintaining the projects you are working on.
Comments: Generating a helicopter view. Managing a large number of contacts. Managing a huge number of hotel projects. It improves my success rate in these projects and it makes me therefore a happier person
Pros:
Multi device solution is enabling me to use Efficy everywhere. It therefore pushes you to make updates on the projects you are working on. Next to this it automatically creates a paperless office whilst keeping the overall view on anything you work on. dialing telephone numbers is another plus. I work on numerous hotel projects with multi contact persons in every project. It enables me to assess who is who in the project and what is his or her role.
CRM software
Pros:
account managment for all account France and export
Cons:
Photo can be integrated on Contact data sheet
EFFICY efficient sharing of Customer/suppliers data, opportunities, products
Comments: Advance the business quickly by sharing data easily from Outlook and SAP
Pros:
-Efficy easily interfaces with SAP via webservice. -Access relevant customer / suppliers information, any place, any time -Efficy allows to have a helicopter view of the business by customer, product and supplier -Efficy allows the sharing of information between the salespersons but also between the product leader -Efficy is easy to implant, to install and to use The mail send function from EFFICY is a real time saver.
Cons:
Efficy is a highly flexible and intuitive CRM. Integration with Outlook is excellent. However, saving an email sent to a client in EFFICY could be optimized.
Efficy is extremely flexible
Comments:
I have used Efficy for 2 years and I have been extremely impressed with the ease of integration with our business.
Once the product is implemented correctly it is extremely effective all the way through dashboards and reporting.
Pros:
Efficiency ! Centralizing data and ability to sync across platforms.
Cons:
Nothing so far!

We can access relevant information at any time and any place, even on smartphone. Accessing data and information through built in querying is easy, even for non-IT users. It meets our demands and more.
Pros:
Ease of use. Cloud based. Good value for money. Very well set up (CRM thinking is in the genes of this product and company). Support is quick and good.

None

Comments: Using Efficy makes my job a lot easier. I can get things done much faster and my work is more organised.
Review Curalia
Comments: Our experience is very positive. We use it mainly as CRM and workflow management to followup on our workload using tasks.
Pros:
The 360 view on your customers, the ability to select relations between the different entities.
Cons:
Document management is not fluent en intuitively. You can link to all entities, still the creation of a document is complex. You need to go over the document container.

Hi Curalia, And a genuinely thank you for this review !! Happy to read that your global experience is very positive. Concerning your feedback on our document management feature, let us tell you that our R&D team is working on improvements that will be visible in our next edition... Stay tuned ;-) The efficy Team
even the very smallest can benefit from Efficy.
Comments: Efficy keeps my company's contacts updated and in the right place ( I am entering accordingly otherwise it does not work). The back up service (the efficy support team) is always available and helpful.In a nutshell: I feel save , I don't need to be afraid about loosing what's professionally important to me.
Pros:
Working alone, Efficy became my personal assistant: Efficy is my secretary who reminds me about the things I must follow up and keep an eye on.
Cons:
As a small company, I've kept my Efficy simple and therefor did hardly encounter issues that I don't like.

Thank you Pauline for this very nice review. Your review is the reason why we keep doing our job: making entrepreneurs happy and support them in their daily growth. I'll forward this message to the team :-)
Alternatives Considered:
Efficient small to mid-size company CRM
Comments: FLuid, simple to use, easy to configure.
Pros:
Easy to deploy, many standard features that can be easily tweaked but not too many, very complete KPI module easy to deploy on your own.
Cons:
Not enough thought was put on multilingual environments (given that our software was developed in France before this company merged with Efficy).

Hi Annelies and thank you for your review Ease of deployment is one nice advantage of our solutions. And concerning multilingual features, I think you're speaking about INES CRM which wasn't completely multilingual, you're 100% right. For you to know, Efficy CRM is now available in 23 languages, even with non roman alphabets. Thanks again and see you soon ;-) The Efficy Team
Great tool for team & task coordination
Comments: Better functionality within the team, as tasks are very well distributed and there is an awareness of what everybody is working on.
Pros:
The agenda is its most useful tool, which allows you to create, share and allocate different tasks across different colleagues. It is my preferred tool for task distribution within my team and beyond - allowing for outstanding micromanagement. It makes a very transparent and official gadget.
Cons:
The client profiles are a bit of a headache to create at first, as it does not seem very intuitive - f.ex., everything involving creating and editing links. It does improve with time, however. Having "Male" as a predetermined gender choice, thus creating a bias that is difficult to overcome if many profiles must be created in a short period of time (i.e. making it more difficult to pay attention to each time the gender is selected). Making the choice non-binary would also improve the tool overall.

Hola Alejandro, And thank you for your review. As you say, integration with Outlook for agenda and emails is super useful. Concerning your cons, thanks for giving us some feedback from the fields. Even if we're the first Efficy users, we can't think about everything. And I'll make sure our R&D teams get your comment on that. Co-creation is in our DNA. Thanks again The Efficy Team
Efficy is more than just an application to use for CRM. Also able to improve business processes.
Comments:
Knowledge.
Less independent from people / departments.
Increasing speed in commercial processes.
Mutual goals spread out through the company.
Output more professional.
Better developed marketing instrument.
Pros:
The integration with your email programm. So this makes it extremely easy to store the most useful information about the companies you work with. Customers, suppliers, influencers, etc. Efficy is extremely flexible in connecting subjects (all kind of subjects) to each other in order to create a mutual insight in the matters you are dealing with. To store data is one thing, but to make information from that data is another one. Efficy enables you to extract and create views that you haven't been aware of before using Efficy. By using and defining the different opportunities, we have experienced that Efficy supports and improves different business processes. For instance a Project with different companies, and contacts, multiple internal Efficy users, requiring adequate documentation, can be well supported with different Efficy functionalities. Communication and sharing information is Always a difficult part of the working process, in all circumstances. Efficy is very helpful to close the circle.
Cons:
Efficy is very flexible, it often offers many different ways to receive your goal. This makes it sometimes difficult for users to explain the steps that have to be taken. If a user gets more experienced and has the confidence in using Efficy, this flexibility becomes an asset. We have focussed on one solution in our education programm. The faster learning users were asked to take notice of this in order to avoid confusion.
Good system - but frustrating automatic features slow down usage
Comments: 4 out 5
Pros:
On stop shop for managing all customer data , projects and sales leads.
Cons:
The crazy way it thinks you want to copy in numerous people for each task - and then have to physically de-select other users each time. Biggest issue is lack of effective cut and paste for UK addresses - post code comes before the end of the address necessitates too much typing when it could be automatically pasted in.

Thank you Stephen for your comment. I guess it will help a lot of people to make their choice. Concerning the manual work you do, have you ever thought about using the mass update feature when you're on a list of actions? I think it could make the trick and help you save much time. Thanks again and see you soon The Efficy Team
Efficy CRM provides access to your contacts, actions, projects with a link to your agenda
Comments:
To get all information needed in a single software.
It helped be get better organised.
Pros:
Ready to use CRM with all functions included. I am giving Soft Skills training and I am working with a lot companies with different type of contact within the company (HR, project manager, Team manger, and workers). Efficy allows me to keep track of each action, meeting or training day thanks to the link and direct access to the action list and agenda. Furthermore it allows me to sort my activities within the Sales opportunity manager and the Project manger so that I can have a clear view on all my upcoming activities. I can access my database from anywhere using any king of devices (laptop, Ipad, cell phone). Not only my actual training types but the business (or private) interests of my contacts can be sorted in the Profile manager in order to send targeted emailing. There is no need to introduce too many data in the system as you can import your emails or send it directly from the application. All data can be exported in Excel, sorted directly on the screen (you can even design your own screen yourself thanks to the custom view editor). A powerful query system is also included to extract data as you wish.
Cons:
There are so many functionalities that you need someone to help you explore them all. It is sometime hard to know where to find the relevant information in order to use a more complex functionality.
Marketing Specialist
Pros:
This software creates useful overview about sales process and tracking. Great options concerning data filtering.
Cons:
Sometimes there are many options possible and you have to learn how to operate the right way.
