Close - Marketing Agency
Overall I would highly recommend the software to other businesses users I think it is far better than its competitors.
Pros
It is a great CRM for marketing and sales agencies. I would recommend the software if you do a lot of outbound sales and need to assign tasks to team members.
Cons
It is a little bit of a steep learning curve however once you get the gist of it everything becomes very easy.

Good For A Small Sales Team, in The Early Days
On a larger scale, Close becomes really impractical. Sales agents lose track of contacts, there's no meaningful data analysis that can be done because of a lack of tagging and order. It's a good package to start out with, but I find that companies move along quickly for more powerful and useful products.
Pros
- really easy to use
- stripped down to the bare minimum, not many tabs for the sales team to navigate
- new email chain function is impractical as it's a manual task to set up for so few sales contacts
- customer support a few years ago was bad but has improved greatly
- price
Cons
- hard to extract data in a meaningful way. The search functionality is quite rudimentary
- data analysis is barely existent
- insufficient tagging
- feels like a doctored spreadsheet with nicer formatting but less usability

A straightforward email tool for sales teams
Close is a fantastic email tool that I would find hard to get rid of.
Pros
This is for everyone who needs to be an email powerhouse. This allows you to manage your communications with leads and new customers very easily. Their software is tailored to be the most efficient possible.
Cons
This is not a great CRM. It's best used in tandem with a CRM like HubSpot or Salesforce. Most of the automation capability is outsourced to Zapier.

Close is great for startup sales but lacks some simple features
Overall it's been a good but not great experience. The basics are covered for a CRM but some what seems like basic features are still missing.
Pros
I love the automated email sequences to help with my outbound prospecting efforts. This enables me to 'set it and forget it" to ensure proper follow up is happening with prospects.
Cons
I don't like that you can't map specific email chains to specific opportunities. Furthermore, you can't upload files which is a real drawback and support suggested I just link to google shared drives.
