Compare 8am vs. CiraSync

Maximize your productivity with our intuitive CRM at 8am, featuring a range of tools like shared contacts, notes, files, event calendars, tasks, reminders, and much more, all readily accessible! Our calendar view includes options for both private and public calendars, with the ability to manage single and recurring events, alongside tasks. The dashboard presents a streamlined overview of recent contacts, newly added notes and files, and a list of upcoming events and tasks. Each calendar in 8am now comes with an iCal link for seamless synchronization with your preferred calendar applications, such as Google Calendar or Outlook. Additionally, 8am has partnered with the smartQ workflow management tool, allowing you to display your smartQ tickets directly within the 8am calendar interface! You can also assign custom icons to events and tasks, starting with eleven options, with plans to broaden this selection. Our improvements to the contacts import feature from CSV and Excel files are noteworthy, as it now accommodates various name components, manages duplicates effectively, and even provides an option to reverse an import if needed! Moreover, you can enrich your projects by attaching SpiderScribe mind maps from brainstorming sessions and Firefly design screens from your graphic design endeavors, enhancing collaboration and creativity.

Manual methods for syncing contacts, calendars, and notes with smartphones often lead to errors and consume valuable time. Custom applications frequently lack scalability or come with restricted features. In the absence of an automatic Global Address List (GAL) synchronization solution, employees may find themselves wasting time searching for up-to-date contact information, struggling to recognize important business calls, or resorting to manual updates. Additionally, if shared calendars remain unsynced, it can result in missed crucial meetings and hinder effective management of projects, emergencies, or shift schedules. The CiraSync platform offers a centralized administration experience complete with single sign-on, detailed control, and top-tier support. There’s no software installation required, no configuration for clients, and users won't need any training. Sync an unlimited number of contacts, shared calendars, and notes several times throughout the day. You can manage who has access to specific contacts and calendars by utilizing existing distribution groups, ensuring that everyone stays informed and organized in their communications. This approach not only enhances productivity but also streamlines the workflow across teams.
