Why I hate CiviCRM |
CiviCRM is a world class CRM solution that can stand toe to toe with the like of Salesforce, Raisers Edge, SugarCRM, etc... I know this because I have used many of the competitors and now make a living implementing CiviCRM. That said there are days when even I have to ask "Why is it working like this?" |
