What Customers Love About Sugar’s Customization

Our customers value SugarCRM for its unmatched ability to adapt to their unique needs. Whether it’s configuring workflows, customizing dashboards, or scaling with ease, businesses appreciate how SugarCRM empowers them to shape the CRM around their processes – not the other way around.

No Developers Needed

Most CRMs require an expert or costly consultant to configure the platform to your needs. With SugarCRM, the power is in your hands – you can configure workflows, build dashboards, and add custom fields with a few clicks.

Flexible and Affordable Scaling

Many CRM systems grow more costly as your needs become more complex. With SugarCRM, you get powerful configuration tools included in the core package. You won’t face unexpected costs when your business scales and processes change.

“Every other CRM that you have is typically an out-of-the-box type of setup, and that allows you very limited flexibility with what you can do. However, the CRM offered by Sugar was different, because it allowed a lot of its componentry to be used and customized in a way that actually fit our business.”

SugarCRM vs alternatives

How Does SugarCRM Stack Up?

  • HubSpot: While HubSpot is great for small businesses, many advanced customization options come at a premium, making it costly as your business scales. SugarCRM offers advanced customization from the start, without extra fees.
  • Salesforce: Salesforce has powerful features, but they often require technical expertise and costly customization services. SugarCRM provides similar features – like advanced workflows and role-based access – with tools that are accessible to non-technical users, saving both time and money.

“What we liked about Sugar is the way you can customize it. We have a lot of older employees here that were accustomed to the old system. It would have been tough to start with something like Salesforce where you can’t change anything you want.”
