Researcher's Summary:

Act!’s sales and marketing solutions are cost-effective, making it a good choice for smaller businesses. It offers flexible customization options for fields and is easy to use, though the UI is outdated according to reviews. A seamless cloud syncing option eliminates the manual work but can make the database difficult to use. Additionally, customer service lacks responsiveness and understanding of the product, and product updates sometimes have bugs that impact performance. Overall, it’s a good solution to consider for small businesses looking to manage their sales and marketing efforts and monitor their team’s outcome.
