Oracle NetSuite

Pros

• Sales, service and marketing share one database with NetSuite financials and inventory, so reps can see orders, invoices and support cases on the customer record.
• Native quote-to-cash covers quotes, orders, forecasting and commissions without a separate integration.
• SuiteCloud allows deep customization through custom fields, forms, records and scripting.
• Role-based real-time dashboards and the Customer 360 view are often praised by reviewers.
• Includes partner relationship management for channel sales, which many mid-market CRMs lack.

Cons

• No public pricing, and partner estimates put the base license near $999 per month plus about $99 or more per user per month.
• Implementation is billed separately and is often estimated at $25,000 to $150,000 or more.
• Reviewers on Capterra and SelectHub report a steep learning curve and a dated interface.
• Users report difficulty getting timely, effective support from the vendor.
• Collaboration tools are weak, with no @mentions or activity feeds according to SelectHub's analysis.
• Capterra reviewers mention email-sending glitches and monthly email limits.

Salesmate

Pros

• Native VoIP calling and SMS, with numbers from about $1.10 a month in 80+ countries, so teams avoid buying a separate dialer.
• Entry price of $23 per user per month on annual billing undercuts many sales-focused CRMs with similar pipeline and email tracking features.
• The 15-day trial includes every feature and unlimited users, and Salesmate will extend it on request.
• Reviewers on G2 and Capterra (about 4.7 out of 5) repeatedly praise fast, responsive support and a clean pipeline interface.
• Holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certification, encrypts data at rest with AES-256, and offers IP access controls.
• All native integrations and the REST API are included on every plan at no extra cost.

Cons

• Key sales tools are gated by tier: sequences and the team inbox need Pro, and the power dialer and voicemail drop need Business.
• Usage charges for automation credits, calls, SMS, dedicated IPs and AI credits make the total cost hard to forecast.
• Reviewers on Trustpilot and G2 report email sync failures and messages landing in spam.
• About 46 native integrations is a small catalog next to HubSpot or Salesforce, so other connections rely on Zapier or Make.
• All fees are non-refundable, including unused time and voice credits.
• Some reviewers mention slow loading, a learning curve for advanced automation, and gaps in the mobile app.
