I think Deals is Great!!
I’m using HR to focus on my pipeline and this is what deals has given me the chance to do.
In addition I use an app to get a dashboard that i can show my boss. All i need to do is insert my user name and it runs in my browser!

I used Highrise for a couple of months. Just switched back to PipelineDeals (www.pipelinedeals.com). More sales oriented and for USD 15 per month per user (no limits on numbers of deals etc.) worth my money. They have a different pricing model which suits small businesses and ‘independents’ like me better than a model like 37Signals is using.
The funcionality of Highrise is excellent though!

I’ll be using Deals and glad Jason has upped the limit to 10, 5 was very stingy!

I agree with Jane too, I find it is worth paying for something that is genuinely useful and works.

@this The problem with these alternatives is that “free” doesn’t work. When people don’t get paid they lose interest in updating and bug fixes and then you’re out of luck. Or they introduce insane pricing out of the blue. I like having all of my projects with a service that I’ve used and trusted for 4 years and that doesn’t break my (or my company’s) bank account. And continually advances (in small but significant ways). I’m never going to log into one of their apps after an update and not recognize where I am or how to use it.

@COD – Everyone needs something different from their CRM, sorry you don’t get to choose one that you like.

@Brett – Great feature indeed.

@Jason – Thanks for the update, and for upping the limits. Good news!

@this People sure do seem to have a love / hate relationship with 37signals. Personally I’ve yet to find anything nearly as useful to me as Backpack.

37signals has done an amazing job with their product but I’ve also seen (and am starting to agree) with a lot of the negative feedback about it.

It’s funny how as a product evolves, you can either stick to the base model which made you a success or try to implement improvements outside the will of the people using your tool. BaseCamp was so good it spawned free imitations. Now, I can use alternatives without having to worry about them.

FYI, we’ve moved the Basic deals limit to 10 pending deals. It was 5 pending deals before.

I completely agree on the limited Deals issue. I was really excited about the new feature until I say the pricing breakdown. 5 deals just isn’t enough.

I’m forced to use Salesforce.com with my job. I hate it.
