We have been able to establish this objectively. Within the context of CRM & Customer Interaction, we have put together the main advantages and disadvantages of Kustomer CRM, and arranged them by topic (customer relationship management). We also point out the highlights of the main products such as Kustomer CRM et cetera.

Kustomer CRM tools and the version history

Recently, we see a stable trend in terms of CRM & Customer Interaction functionality and support for various platforms and data sources.

We reviewed Kustomer’s latest versions of the total product range. As far as we can tell, Kustomer does not use an identifiable version numbering system.

What are the licensing costs of Kustomer CRM?

It is difficult to determine exactly what a license of Kustomer CRM costs because it depends on the country, the number of users (and/or the number of cores if you want to run it on a server), the connectors to data sources, and at what point in the year you request a quote. If you do this a few weeks before the end of Kustomer’s fiscal quarter, you may be in for a decent discount. In addition, it makes sense to run the software in the cloud. Often you only pay for what you consume in resources. The purchase cost of Kustomer CRM may not be the largest amounts, but maintenance and support can certainly put quite a strain on your annual budget.

In our study, we see that Kustomer in the field of CRM & Customer Interaction software has several specific features which are worth weighing in a tool selection. This makes Kustomer CRM more or less unique: customer service CRM, reporting dashboards, cloud applications, and custom reporting.
