“What I like the least about Maximizer is that some of the field can be deleted that shouldn't. When we first got Maximizer, the amount of fields made it hard to find any one particular field. When I deleted some of them I later found out that they were needed to produce some reports and that I was unable to recreate them. As such we are unable to use maximizer to its full potential.“

### "Maximizer Review, a positive overall experience. "

November 28, 2024

4.0

Other that not being able to produce certain reports, Maximizer does exactly what we need it for. Keeping track of client information and interactions.

Pros

what i like most about maximizer is the ability to add custom fields and the ease of importing data once I figured it out.

Cons

What I like the least about Maximizer is that some of the field can be deleted that shouldn't. When we first got Maximizer, the amount of fields made it hard to find any one particular field. When I deleted some of them I later found out that they were needed to produce some reports and that I was unable to recreate them. As such we are unable to use maximizer to its full potential.

Reason for choosing Maximizer CRM

Pricing was the biggest factor, but we also had limits on what CRM's we could use due to our compliance department.

December 20, 2024

5.0

Amazing! I use Maximizer on the daily. Our office would not be able to function without it.

Pros

I love the integration with outlook and template options. This saves us so much time! I also use the statuses often to check in on our workflow and help ensure no one slips through the cracks. I also love the export/import features these save me so much time and are helpful for date reports.

Cons

No real complaints, on area that could be improved is having a client facing portion of the software.

November 1, 2024

5.0

I have used this program for over 30 years and tried most competitors in that time frame. I have always come back to Maximizer for it's ease of use.

Pros

A simple layout that does not overcomplicate what a salesperson really needs to do. I've often thought this program was built for Salespeople and not Management

Cons

It's integration with the newest version of Outlook is still lacking

### "Great Customization with Room for Improvement "

October 30, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like Maximizer for its high level of customizability, allowing me to tailor fields, dashboards, and modules to fit my specific needs. Its comprehensive contact management system is very helpful in my role, as it enables detailed tracking of customer interactions, history, and preferences. The integration with third-party applications like Outlook and Office 365 enhances workflow efficiency, making it easier to manage customer relationships and streamline day-to-day tasks. I also enjoy the addition of the Maximizer Bot "Assisto" as its a great way to ask quick questions about where to find or how to do something new.

Cons

The mass email feature in Maximizer CRM can be frustrating, as formatting often appears fine during drafting but looks misaligned or unprofessional once sent, which impacts the customer experience. The email feature on Maximizer as a whole feels quite outdated. Additionally, managing and splitting household contacts, while not a frequent task, is time-consuming and inconvenient when it does come up.

### "Great Product to Keep Your Business Running Smoothly"

July 27, 2022

5.0

Maximizer is a very important part of our day, we check it to see what tasks we have coming up, have completed, and what we are waiting for. It makes our day run smoothly and keeps everyone on track.

Pros

The features I like about Maximizer is that it is easy to use. There are many features that we use to keep the company running smoothly, even if someone is on holidays. You can add their tasks to yours so you know what needs to be done while they are away. The program keeps the client's files secure and easy to access when looking for a form. The customer service is wonderful and fast in helping find solutions.

Cons

There isn't much negative I can say. I don't use alot of the features, because I don't have time to just play around and see what else I could use to help with efficiency.

### "Ray's Review"

October 25, 2022

5.0

There are too many problems it solves to list, but suffice it to say, I could not run my business without a CRM and a Case Management system which Maximizer does very well!

Pros

The best part has always been the comprehensiveness of the product, how modules fit together, combined with Mail Integration. These have always been key for me. It's easy to use for the most part if you enjoy technology and when you need them, support is very close and very good.

Cons

The price is high in my mind. I enjoyed stand alone because I was more in control of my expenses. I could keep a version running until I had to upgrade. I don't like the never ending cost and in truth, it has caused me to begin looking for alternatives.

Reason for choosing Maximizer CRM

I have been a Maximizer user for over 30 years

### "Good Overall Solution"

November 2, 2018

4.0

Maximizer helps me simplify organizing my calendar and appointments, makes following up on tasks almost automatic, keeps all my contact info, notes, address updates and all I need to know in one easy to get to place - regardless of where I am. I find working remotely much easier using Maximizer. My staff loves it because they have instant access to all my client notes to help them in their jobs.

Pros

Maximizer has everything I require to easily organize my client relationships without being cluttered up with features I don't need. It is simple, intuitive and easy to use from the beginning and the training modules are great.

Cons

The contact list search engine is awkward - it only flashes the list starting with the first 3 letters, then it disappears and you have to type in the whole name . . . The embedded template feature is gone and is now attached to MSWord - which is an awkward connection. Because I have secure/encrypted email with my company, with severe firewalls - Maximizer cannot link to my corporate outlook email - this is not a significant problem and I would rather have the added protection than the convenience. I can still easily save all email communication through Outlook to Maximizer.

### ""Maximizer Lite""

July 23, 2021

5.0

I think I have been using them for 25 to 30 years? Phone support was great.

Pros

I needed a simple flexible software to keep track of customers, what they bought and be able to produce letters and emails to keep in touch.

Cons

The high price with ALL these features that I didn't use, until they brought out "Maximizer Lite." They cut many of the unwanted features and the price, but no phone support. For a newbie, phone support would be good

Reason for choosing Maximizer CRM

More flexilibilty with the columns. You can set them up any way you like. Mine has been set for years. I add some new models ever so often and I am done. Great for a Car Salesman of 6 decades !

### "Robust, but lacking integration"

July 11, 2017

4.0

It really is a solid CRM, and did well keeping the entire company apprised of the situation. It handles B2B and B2C with ease, and made it very easy to keep tabs on our clients. If it integrated with other critical apps, automated marketing tasks, and had a stronger customer service tool, we'd still be using it today.

Pros

I really liked the User definable setup, and the hierarchy between contacts and companies. I also liked how every user defined value got it's own view in SQL, so it was very easy to extract data into other systems using the database. It's very familiar to office users, and performed really well, even with 90,000 contacts/companies in it. It's a solid CRM, as long as that's all you need.

Cons

It didn't integrate well with other applications. We use Google Apps, and Quickbooks, which are pretty common. But it wouldn't integrate with either, and was going to cost in order to write each integration. The customer service case manager was minimalist, so it was simple to use, but didn't allow for a conversation to happen (eg I couldn't tell how much back and forth happened during a customer service case, or if the customer had updated information on the case). The email generation tool was primitive, and only allowed for basic, ugly html. Any advanced formatting, or click tracking common to things like MailChimp weren't available. There wasn't any marketing automation to speak of, and there wasn't any automated lead scoring. Everything had to be done by hand, and unfortunately humans aren't reliable.

### "CESCO MAXIMIZER REVIEW"

July 7, 2021

5.0

Pros

Good data base and records keeping ... allows instant recall of important information.

Cons

THIS IS LUDICROUS ! I really cannot believe you did this in the new version ( cloud ) vs. the old version. USER DEFINED FIELDS ... must be entered for EVERY CONTACT NAME despite the fact they generally remain the same for the ADDRESS ENTRY ! An address entry ( Company ) may have many employees and the UDF for the company remains the same IE customer / supplier / competitor etc. For every contact name you must go in and enter all of the data in UDF for each one. This is a complete time waster ! Once you make a new address entry and then enter contacts under that name, the UDF should remain there unless there is an exception. THIS IS ANNOYING TO THE ULITMATE EXTENT !!!!! Imagine entering a corporation and having to do the UDF for every person ! THE OLD VERSION DID MAINTAIN THIS INFORMATION ... This is the most disturbing time waster in the new software and I have advised our I T supplier of this many times.

### "A good piece of CRM Software"

August 2, 2018

4.0

Overall experience is quite positive from an administrator end, from a user perspective I have & have helped people who have had problems navigating and using Maximzier to its fullest potential when they are brand new to the platform.

Pros

Maximizer in comparison to some of it's competitors runs a very light & simplistic method of storing data. This is mainly in respect to have to act as the admin for the data, but Maximizer exports and imports quite nicely from most data subsets which makes maintaining data on a day to day that much easier.

Cons

The site is very dated (especially before the reskin of 2017), and this causes user intuitiveness of finding things were one expects them to be quite difficult. At this point it is a difficult process to properly bring the website into the 21st century, since a massive overhaul would leave many existing users lost.

July 16, 2021

4.0

Pros

This software is easy to understand and become comfortable working in when it comes to contact management and email integration. Maximizer offers many tools to be able to customize your data for your specific business and to continue to build on as your business grows. The ability to set a personalized dashboard to keep targets top of mind is very helpful and is a great way to start the day.

Cons

Having better integrations with other software would make our lives a lot easier. As well as having better duplicate checking for entries would eliminate a lot of work hours used to maintain a clean database.
