I first started using Prophet over 7 years ago. I liked the way that it allowed me to stay within the Outlook platform. We had tried other software's that claimed that they integrated with Outlook but always found this to not be entirely true. Prophet truly does. While it can be a robust as you want it to be it is not overwhelmingly complex to use. As sales people, we want to be engaged in the sales process, not engaged in inputting data into a CRM.
Pros
Fully integrated with Outlook
Works well in a team environment
Easy to use
Great customer support

Prophet has dramatically increased our speed to quote & has given us more visibility on what is in the pipeline. The workflow manager has been useful for follow up.
Pros
The integration into outlook makes it very easy to use. The customization aspect also allowed us to make it relevant to our niche industry.
Cons
Sometimes it crashes when I am inputting information. When this is an issue support is usually quick to help.

Overall I probably would not recommend the product for a sales team that requires high dials and quick search results.
Pros
I like that it communicates well with Outlook ( when the connectivity works)
Cons
There are delays in searching up opportunities ( example: when you delete a prior search term, the system has to then pull up the whole book of opps each time. This causes a lag. Same with clicking "save and close" sometimes the button takes up to 25-30 seconds to recognize the mouse.

Overall very positive experience. The support has been great. We now have an easy to use CRM that lives in our email client that is always used.
Pros
The CRM is an integrated part of Outlook. If you didn't know better, you'd think it is a feature of Outlook.
Cons
It's only available on PCs. There are so many possibilities that it can be overwhelming.

It lets you get going quickly and creating contacts and opportunities on the first day. We did a few hours of training and problem-solving from Avidian with a shared screen, which helped, but is a bit pricey.
Pros
The program is easy to manage and customize to your ever-changing needs. The program is also intuitive, you can mostly figure out how to use, enter and customize without a lot of assistance. It's great that it fully integrates into Outlook, where it can even create Tasks and track emails.
Cons
It feels a bit "clunky" and needs some further refinement. The user interface needs a bit more refinement. It has so many customization options and things you can do, but it's hard to unpeel and see every option.

Tracking sales activities and remaining in contact with customers was problematic. Prophet helped to alleviate the issue. Training users was simple.
Pros
Installation is simple and it ties into Outlook for tracking activity and tasks by customer. As a user we can modify Prophet to meet our needs, not change our existing system to fit a CRM system
Cons
It sometimes causes issues with Outlook, although minor, are inconvenient

Pros
Works well when updated, relatively intuitive, many updates, excellent CS and training.
Cons
More intuitive search function is required, I am always forced into advanced search mode to find contacts and companies in my own DB. Needs to have a contact DB outside my contacts for easier use in sales prospecting. Contact sharing by company of the entire prophet DB.

Overall this is great but if you're organization uses Macs then maybe this isn't for you.
Pros
It is very easy to use and price-wise, it's cost efficient. Links to Outlook very well and scans other applications like MailChimp within your MS Outlook program to assist in future marketing opportunities. Customer service is also great - very quick to respond.
Cons
In order for it to run properly, you must be running the most recent version of MS Outlook. If you use Mac computers then you're going to have a headache working around to get Outlook to run on your system and use this program with ease.

Using Prophet CRM for 5 years
Reviewed on 11/05/2015
Pros
I like how there are several tabs to categorize your contacts and many areas to include in depth details about each contact. I also like how you can have multiple opportunities for different customers. Obviously, syncing the software with Microsoft Outlook has huge benefits. Being able to schedule tasks that go directly to your calendar allows for a great advantage for scheduling appointments and maintaining an organized schedule.
Cons
I'd like it to be easier to see if a co-worker is working with a customer or lead. I feel like you have to manually search through a list of companies to determine if they've already been entered into the software as a contact. If there was a search bar or a way of searching cities or states that contacts are based out of, it might help minimize the time it takes to verify if someone is already doing business with a company.

CRM Integrated with Outlook
Reviewed on 07/10/2019
Pros
I love how integrated the CRM is with Outlook. It is easy to use and convenient.
Cons
I dislike that changes cannot be made to an entry from the overall views. An Opportunity must be opened in order to change any information in a field. It would be even easier to use if that information could be changed in the "view" screen.

Prophet CRM Review
Reviewed on 16/03/2015
Pros
I've tried many CRM systems from Salesforce down to cloud-based ones like Zoho. I have to say that Prophet CRM has the right combination of features and usability. Some have so many things I don't need, but Prophet is just right. Best of all, it is all done from within Outlook, so you don't have to go to a separate system. It makes it much easier and convenient.
Cons
Their iPhone application is out of date to say the least. I was told they would have a new version out soon, but am still waiting. I would say if they get this app up to date then that would be good. You can also access Prophet data through the mobile browser, but it's basic info like the app and not real good yet.
