you should ALWAYS use your own CRM - that way it is portable if your feelings about your company change -  and no one else has access to it.

After going through and NOT using a number of CRMs, IXACT contact is the one that finally stuck, in other words, I actually use it.  I do not, however, use the website, although I may consider it in the future.  I have a couple of WP sites, so just never felt the need for their website.  Their customer support is excellent, I can tell you that.

I'm actually checking into IXACT Contact CRM at this time and have been seriously considering this one.  Just have not taken the plunge.  Sort of in the same place as you ... I would never use the company one for reasons already mentioned ...

IXACT has a wonderful CRM.  It was too much for me at this time. Easy to use and yes the customer service is good.

I used them for just over a year, but quickly realized that you get what you pay for. My move over to Top Producer best move that I have made.

Good idea. Never put your most valued asset in contol of the 'company.'

I am not familar with IXACT, but am familar with many CRMs.

Which is best for you depends on two things:

1. What resources your business needs

2. Where your business marketing is headed in the coming 2 years

(Top Producer, WiseAgent) or contemporary CRM (SugarCRM, SalesForce) depending on you personal analysis of your business.

Never use your company's CRM; what happens if you leave? I've used Top Producer for more years than I can count.

I'm looking for a CRM that integrates with my website to capture leads, etc.  That is one reason I'm looking at IXACT.  They also offer 6 months free to any realtor who has been in the industry for less than a year.
