Finding the right ERP system is a long process – wouldn’t it be great if you had a place like Amazon or Yelp to read to the point and unbiased reviews? We recently announced the launch of the new ERP software review section of our site – and we are really excited about it. Our aim is to deliver comprehensive ERP software reviews for small, mid and enterprise sized companies who are looking for software to improve their business and really want honest advice.
The new ERP software review portion of our site is designed to deliver valuable information for companies and organizations from diverse backgrounds seeking new business software to fit their distinctive needs.
We know that not everyone has the time or knowledge-base to select the right software solution for their individual needs. We are here to provide reviews and advice for companies and organizations seeking new software which is why our initial consultations with all prospects are completely free.
So if you are reading this post and have ever used an ERP system – please visit our ERP page and leave your own reviews! This part of our site can’t function without people like you. Your valuable input and advice will create an open source of discussion for current and future ERP software users.
In addition to the new ERP software reviews we will be offering more in depth vendor selection services very soon. We hope to roll out the new portion of our site by next week.

One of the most frequently asked questions we get from clients is ‘which is better, Salesforce or Sugar?’
In fact, we find ourselves telling clients about the differences between them so often we decided to blog about it. So this is it, our no holds barred comparison on the differences and similarities of Salesforce and SugarCRM.
Let’s start with what they have in common – more than you than you might think. Both Salesforce and SugarCRM are pioneers in the CRM movement. They both challenge the Bill Gates Microsoft archetype and ascribe to the clean aesthetic of Steve Jobs’ Apple. Both were created in California. Salesforce is based in San Francisco and SugarCRM comes from Cupertino, California in the Santa Clara Valley – also the home of Apple Inc.
Now for the differences…
Editions and Pricing
Salesforce.com comes in five different editions, ranging in price from $24 per user per year to $3,000 per user per year. While all of the editions are – in their most basic forms – the same product, there are certain features and functions that are enabled or disabled, depending on the edition purchased. Without a doubt, Salesforce.com’s most popular edition is their Enterprise Edition. With a price point of$1,500 per user per year, it is their middle of the line solution. In comparison their second most popular instance the Professional Edition, is priced at $780 per user per year.
In comparison
SugarCRM has four different editions of their commercial product: Professional, Corporate, Enterprise, and Ultimate. They have a free open-source solution titled Community.
Sugar’s cheapest instance is Sugar Professional, with a price point of $360 per user per year. From there Sugar prices rise slowly – but at their most expensive, Sugar is still only half of the most expensive instance of Salesforce.com. Sugar Corporate costs $540 per user per year while Sugar Enterprise is priced at $720 per user per year and Sugar Ultimate costs $1200 per user per year.
Sugar licensing prices are constant no matter which of the four hosting options you choose. It should be said though that some hosting options, mean additional costs.
