RealNex or Apto?
I’m trying to decide between using apto or realnex for my crm. Do any of you have experience with either software and care to share how you liked/disliked it?
[{"id": "elntn5m", "text": "What's your business? From a brokerage standpoint Realnex is fantastic for being able to manipulate the information into valuable call lists, the level of detail of information is fantastic and the logic fields are very intuitive. Just keep in mind like any CRM what's key is the relevancy and accuracy of the information you're inputting. If you don't keep the database updated it will become useless.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "elo529l", "text": "I don\u2019t like Apto, the video they showed us was completely not what it is. \nIt\u2019ll get better as my team and I use it more. There only good feature IMO is prospect and nurture. It takes far longer to make more calls, but the advantage is we can see each others notes (I\u2019m on a team). \n\nMake sure your data upload is DIALED IN before uploading. Get rid of all duplicates. \n\nCurious on how Realnex is. We\u2019re signed up for a year of Apto", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "elo6f45", "text": "Client look is better than both.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "elo7dmj", "text": "A lot of our brokers used Apto in the past, but it is complex and many of them said it felt like they were working for Apto and not vice versa. I have yet to use RealNex, but Apto was a flop at my company.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "eloirkg", "text": "You get what you pay for. Realnex is one the cheaper databases and you can definitely tell. My team and I have been using it for the past year and have dealt with multiple issues.  We recently switched from the desktop app to the cloud based version, which is slightly better. We\u2019ve realized we lost quite a few features, IMO not worth the money. The tech support is great but it\u2019s not fun constantly having to contact them. I would spend the extra money and go with sales force.

The ability to customize database fields is key to providing relevant information for your clients. I think there's a cheaper realnex option than $139.
