I have been using Bento as my CRM tool for years. Although made by Filemaker and considered to not be very robust, it did have one key feature lacking in its big brother program... it synced with Address Book. That meant I didn't have to maintain separate databases of people and it was very convenient. To my understanding, the newest version of Filemaker released this week still does not have this functionality.
As of the latest iOS refresh, Bento will no longer sync across devices (so I lost the mobile notes I had made since last sync). Filemaker ceased support for Bento on September 30th of this year.
Can anyone recommend a Mac-friendly CRM solution which will use my Address Book as Bento did? I know there are some web-based ones where you have to pay a fairly hefty ongoing fee... no thank you. I don't plan to pay monthly for the privilege of using my own data.
I'm looking for a buy-it-once program that will help me. Any ideas?
What kind of business are you in. I sell a solution that is part of a very affordable package. Freepmail me and I can call you.
