ACT! by Sage is a very popular contact management program that's been used around the world for many years. Rather than presenting a dry, point-by-point comparison chart, here's some facts about Legrand CRM that ACT! users might find interesting.
Rock Solid Database
Legrand CRM is based on rock solid and well implemented Microsoft database technology. Whether you're using Legrand CRM Pro Edition, or the Microsoft SQL based Legrand CRM Corp Edition, your customer database:
Will *not* need regular reindexing
Will *not* need rebuilding
Is not likely to ever suffer any form of data corruption or lost data
What's more, because your customer data is stored in such an open and reliable database, it's easy to get to and interface with other applications. Unlike ACT! you do not need to purchase an unlock password to access your data via ODBC.
Speed, speed and more speed.
Legrand CRM is super fast. Even searches and sorts on large databases will only take a short time. Legrand CRM is snappy on older machines and positively zooms along on the latest PCs
