A list of web ready CRMs companies and sites (and a cheaper alternative to SalesForce)
Many startups out there need to keep track of customer, prospect, and partner information, including the status of those relationships. For many, SalesForce is too expensive for their needs. Since we’re all living the the ‘new’ web world where software is everywhere, I’d thought I’d put together a list of CRM systems you could use, please add to the comments of other CRMs systems
List of Customer Relationship Management Systems (CRMs):
SalesForce Daffodil CRM Centric CRM SugarCRM CRM Solution Sales Boom Free CRM Boss CRM Klyptix Boss CRM VTiger On Contact Zoho CRM Highrise, 37 Signals VTiger Solve 360 Big Contacts Net Suite ProspectSoft Instant Sales Tracker Patoo Terasoft Patoo Easy Customer Pipeline Deals Sage software Goldmine Avidian Heap CRM IT Factory Batchbook
Geez, what a crowded market.
Other Resources
-Web Worker daily has some analysis of just a few of the above that I listed.
-eCRM has a partial list, they include other applications in addition to CRM, such as Helpdesk, communication tools etc.
-You can glance through this comparison matrix in this vendor showcase, very helpful.
You always get what you pay for, so I’m sure you’ll be a savvy consumer. As you add comments, I’ll add to this list over time.

i believe GetSatisfaction.com is also launching soon… at the very least, Lane & Thor picked a cool name for the company

As i understand it, that’s a Support site, not a CRM.
Thanks Jeremiah, for making Zoho CRM a part of the list
Here are a couple more:

Arvind, no problem.
JP, I added you, I reviewed your site to make sure you had contact and customer info inputs first, thanks.
Thanks James
Wow, what a saturated market now. I’ve added at least 10 on this list since it started. Commodity software, although service and support can make a big difference, right after strong marketing.
http://heap.wbpsystems.com/ is another great CRM solution for small business.
I hope the other publish an articl about free CRM application…
I noticed that there are free offerings from www.kyliptix.com and www.frecrm.com but i want to have a comparison with others for my research..
Thanks
I am currently in charge of Sales in a mid sized company. I have been looking at Saleforce, but it is too messy and complicated. I just need a simple system. I have looked at IT FACTORY CRM - they have created a online portal version (running on IBM Websphere portal) of their award winning CRM for Lotus Notes. Really cool stuff! Check it out at www.itfactory.com/crm
Thanks, I added it CRM Geek
Many of these so called CRM vendors are only focused on some parts of CRM but not all. The only companies that actually offer a SaaS Marketing Automation, Salesf Force Automation,, and Customer Service And Support solutions integrated out-of-the-box are Salesforce.com, Salesboom.com, Netsuite and Rightnow.
[…] I am NOT seeking platforms which you could build these features on top of it, I’m really seeking a ready-to-go community suite. I’m seeking solutions to build community, not ERP systems (but if they have both, that could be included). See my list of web-based CRMs. […]
I am looking for CRM solution for running small business on that sync’s with outlook and MS office, but not so expensive as a Salesforce.com etc. Any ideas?

In light of the recent DEMOfall07, I’d like to offer BatchBook to the list (disclaimer: my company). We’re targeting the the small business/microbusiness/sole proprietor portion of the market.
Thanks!
[…] have told me it is a crowded market, but I’m glad that Jim can see we’re really going for an undeserved portion of that […]
Hello, this is in reply to Bill, if you are still looking for a CRM solution, it’s always good to try them on first and on the website of Salesboom.com you can get a 30 day free trail, it’s worth checking out and they aren’t anywhere as expensive as Salesforce.
Thanks Jeremiah for being a CRM evangelist including the true Prophet (http://www.avidian.com) of CRM in your list. If you want the CRM promise land, you must talk about Outlook and Prophet. Think about where you are in most of the day and what application you open first in the morning and have it opened all day. Keep CRM real with something built inside Outlook. Prophet, the CRM in Outlook.
Tactile CRM - http://www.tactilecrm.com is our new web-based CRM offering for anyone that might be interested.
