Appreciation post: picked a niche CRM over Salesforce for my 12 person team and haven't regretted a single day in 18 months

Everyone told me I was crazy for turning down Salesforce's free tier, but the onboarding with Pipedrive took 2 days instead of 2 weeks and my sales rep actually answers my emails, has anyone else gone with a simpler tool and felt like they were missing out?

The free tier thing is so overrated when you factor in setup time and customizations. You actually use the simpler tool every day though right? Like what kind of pipeline complexity did you have to give up on going with Pipedrive?

Right, "setup time and customizations" are definitely the hidden costs people forget about. With Pipedrive I gave up on any complex multi-stage automations, but honestly the basic pipeline view and email tracking is all I really needed to keep deals moving without a headache.
