## Reviews

### "Superb system with a few minor niggles" — 4.0/5

> **Clive** | *16 July 2026* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When deciding to go down the path of a CRM I did exhaustive research and did try a couple. However the ease of use and the ability to adjust the layout to my own requirements won me over.  Cost wise, it is not the cheapest, but definitely worth the price. The sales team have been a great help, once you start down this path, you will need their support to start with.
> 
> **Cons**: Act\! does not interact with the new Outlook email system, this means that if you rely on meetings etc being automatically confirmed with your client, you will need to do this manually.&#10;Customer support is a weaker link, there are many on-line tutorials, but sometimes you just need a quick chat to solve an issue, however you keep being referred to an additional cost in a support package.
> 
> I enjoy working with this system, and once integrated into you process', it is impossible to think of how it used to be\! Apart from the minor niggles, Act\! is definitely worth a closer look.

### "Reliable CRM for Managing Customer Information" — 5.0/5

> **Alison** | *5 October 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the convenience of having my customer database securely available in the cloud. It made it easier to access customer information from different locations, collaborate with colleagues, and keep data organised without relying on a single computer.
> 
> **Cons**: The main drawback is that the system can sometimes feel slow and less intuitive than newer CRM platforms. Some features can also be difficult to find or require too many steps, and occasional performance or connectivity issues can make it frustrating to use.
> 
> Overall, Act\! Database is a reliable and useful CRM for managing customer information and keeping records organised. Some features could be more intuitive, but overall it meets our needs well.

### "Great software, great support." — 5.0/5

> **Bev** | *1 October 2026* | Textiles | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We are relatively new to Act and currently only have a one user account, however, it works really well for our company, helping to track our enquiries and follow up on phone calls and emails.&#10;We will be looking to extend this subscription to other team members and with the enhanced support, its' great to know that if or when we have 'issues' they are quickly resolved by a knowledgeable tech team.
> 
> **Cons**: We have had a couple of odd glitches with it working with outlook but nothing that the tech team at Act haven't been able to resolve.
> 
> Act are a very responsive, professional yet friendly, UK based company who go out of their way to ensure the end user has the best experience possible.

### "Love Act and wouldn't be without it" — 5.0/5

> **Bev** | *1 April 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I had used Act many years ago and loved it.  When it came to us needing CRM, we had tried a couple of free ones that, for us, just didn't work.  Act is as good as I remembered it being.  We don't currently use it to it's full potential but are loving the way we can customise it to suit our business.  We have chosen to pay for the extended tech support and they really are amazing, talking us  to support our learning.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm not sure there is anything negative I can say about Act, however, the one thing that 'bugs' me is the way it records emails multiple times if there has been more than one addressee.
> 
> I'm so glad we found Act again.  It makes tracking the progress of enquiries and 'finding' people who wear more than hat very easy.

### "Quick Quote Generation with Act\!" — 5.0/5

> **Victoria** | *20 September 2026* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Act\!'s contact database syncs cleanly with Gmail, and the email templates let me send proposals in seconds. The deal pipeline is pretty solid, and the mobile app keeps me on track when I'm away from the desk.
> 
> **Cons**: The help docs are a bit thin and when I hit a snag the support replies after a day, which slows my workflow. And the reporting export options are limited.
> 
> I’ve been using Act\! for a couple of years, and the custom reporting tool has become my go‑to. Pulling a sales pipeline report takes less than a minute, and the drag‑and‑drop layout lets me tweak columns on the fly, so I can share instant insights with the team during meetings.
