My company installs photovoltaic panels in benelux. We were looking for a cheap collaborative tool where I could manage my prospects & customers, but also my technical and sales team members who are "on the road". We use almost all features of ContactOffice with a "white label version": - Email: company mail domain is used - Groups: I created 3 groups (sales team, technical team, management team) in order to collaborate and keep an eye on my employee's work - Contacts: everybody has its private contacts and we have group contacts (sales contacts, technical contacts and manager's contacts) - Calendar: everybody has his own calendar, but for every technical team, I can see their weekly program (the same for the sales team) - Wiki: we use one wiki for every team. The technical team gathers all technical information for every customer. It's a kind of light-CRM. - Documents: when sales employees visit customers, they take pictures of roofs and upload themin their document storage space...

Contactoffice (CO) offers all functionnalities I need for my daily work: email, calendar, contacts, notes, document storage space and many more! It's a really rapid system because of SaaS model. I just need to have 1 browser and 1 internet connection and I'm on my virtual desktop. Thanks to CO's group module, I can create a work-group with my customers for temporary projects where I can share information etc.

At first logon, you see all the tools on the left toolbar... It seemed to be "too much" for me, but it is possible to display only the tools you wanna use by minimizing it at the bottom of the screen. Perfect for SOHO.

Free Address Book is a quality software. It allows you to create a digital address book, giving you the ability to store birthdays, addresses, phone numbers, company associations, and more. When paired with a Skype or email account, a contact can be reached by simply clicking on their phone number or email. Contacts can also be categorized into groups for easy sorting.

The ability to categorize contacts into groups is helpful for organization, but feels a bit useless. For instance, there is no way to send out a mass email to a group of contacts - each contact has to be selected individually and emailed.

Summary:

It is beneficial to have all contacts organized in a central location, backed up on the computer (instead of relying on the cloud).

I thought I'd give this a try because it's free and looked potentially useful. The screen shots include custom fields and import options and I was particularly interested in trying these.

I tried to install this on my Windows 10 laptop and was unable to. The installer kept getting stuck because it thought it needed .net framework, but I already have it. So, when the installer isn't even intuitive, I have my hesitations. I'd also prefer something web-based so I can pull it up on any device. I think I'll stick with google contacts.

Summary:

Benefits:

what I like most about this software is that it is very easy to store all type of personal information.

Drawbacks:

what I like the least about this software is that if you are using no virus protection a virus and disrupt your information.
