Reviewers Comments:
My company used Landslide CRM for three months. We paid for
Landslide?s top Implementation package and assigned an
internal project manager to ensure the set-up and training
would go smoothly. We were led to believe that Landslide had
the functionality we needed, but the software did not deliver.
We encountered many problems with the software and usability
of the system. We frequently brought these items to
Landslide?s attention, and their response was that they
would ?put it on their to-do list?. When we asked about
the status of the ?enhancements list? they told us there?s
no formal notification process related to submitted items
and their status.
Report functionality was extremely limited. There?s no
traditional, intuitive dashboard template for ?high-level?
executive review of sales reps activities, pipeline etc. It
was difficult to pull reports. Landslide purports to have
dashboards; however upon using the system we discovered the
dashboard is merely an area of the system called Pulse which
doesn?t have the capability to track the metrics users might
need. Pulse is driven off predefined data and metrics and
cannot measure custom fields.
Instead of saving time, Landslide was cumbersome to use and
extensively used ?pop-up? technology to perform most of the
work/tasks. Landslide?s claim to their system innovation is
that it?s designed from a sales reps point of view in
helping guide them through the ?sales process?. I ask what
about the sales management? Since it doesn?t offer
traditional activities tracking it?s difficult to quickly
see typical metrics sales management needs. While overall
cost is less expensive than some other systems, beware --you
will more than pay for it, in time, effort and functionality
in the long run.
Furthermore, a member of Landslide?s executive team was rude
and unresponsive to our feedback. That member dismissed
many of our issues as user error and implied in an email
that we were incompetent. Understand we have veteran sales
reps and management (25+ years of sales experience) who have
successfully used a variety of CRM programs such as
Salesforce, Microsoft CRM, Sugar, ACT Sage, Goldmine,
SalesLogix. I?ve never encountered such an unprofessional
act or insult and doubt I will ever again.
As a result, we switched to Salesforce and have been happy
with the change. If you are considering purchasing
Landslide, I strongly suggest you reconsider. The mistake
we made in purchasing Landslide cost my company money and
wasted countless hours of our time.
Some of our key problems include:
1. Poor measurement and reporting for high level management:
a. Pulse pseudo dashboard was slow, cumbersome to use and
not informative
b. Could not report graphically on custom fields
c. Most reporting done through ?MyLists? which are poorly
designed/difficult to create ? we would create reports only
to find out we did it wrong later
2. Poor usability
a. System was slow/difficult to navigate and we believe some
components of the system are based on non-standard sales and
technology platforms
b. Cannot multi-task because cannot operate multiple
windows or move easily from one screen to the next
c. Easy to leave a screen without saving data ?reps
regularly lost info they put in the system ? this was
challenging when a rep was in one Account and would have to
move quickly to another when a new call came in
d. Overall sales rep feedback was negative
3. Software / program issues
a. Slow and would freeze up on users more than other programs
b. MS Outlook Sync slowed down MS Outlook and caused it to
freeze/not respond
c. Compatibility issues in MS Explorer and Mozilla ?
inconsistent performance ? sometimes things would work as
they were supposed to and sometimes they wouldn?t
4. Disorganized training/implementation
a. No clear training materials/organization for
implementation/training
b. Not consultative/does not reflect any sort of recommended
best practices, etc.
c. Did not listen to our needs and address them.

The recent release added more speed and ease of
use to make things even easier to use. Plus, the VIP
Personal Sales Assistant, a live person, makes
importing info and updates from the road even
simpler! I highly recommend this to any sales
organization.

Our slaes team is very happy with Landslide CRM.
The interface is very clean and the best part is the
ease of accessing information within the tool with
minimum clicks needed. These guys understand the
buy and sell cycles.
Reviewers Comments:
Not particularly impressed with Landslide so far after
using it for the last few months. I think there are
better solutions out there.
