Side by side
A Laravel and Vue CRM for leads, contacts, organisations, pipelines, quotes, activities and email parsing.
The Salesforce CRM for leads, accounts, opportunities, forecasting and sales automation, extensible through AppExchange and custom objects.
Many useful extensions are paid add-ons from Webkul, and the feature set is basic next to SuiteCRM or EspoCRM.
Costs rise steeply with editions and add-ons, and it needs a dedicated admin to stay usable.
