It’s fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure. (Bill Gates)

At Teamgate we believe that without darkness there is no light, without pain there is no wellness, and without the trials and tribulations of life, there is no measure of success.

Every hurdle we navigate brings us closer to our goal; the goal in the journey towards excellence. Each member of our highly committed team remains focused on that journey, day after day. Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we fail. But it is that commitment which drives us forward.

We believe that there should be no fear in that constant striving to be the best. Every trip and fall also brings with it the reward of lessons learned, of knowledge gained, and that reassuring feeling of getting up, dusting yourself off, and carrying on towards the finish line.

That‘s why when something good comes along we want to share it with you. This is our applause.

The industry‘s  preeminent business app discovery platform GetApp.com ranked Teamgate as the #4 best CRM in the marketplace in their Q4 2017 rankings!

GetApp CRM Researcher Suzie Blaszkiewicz says:

Teamgate remains in the top ten for a tenth quarter in GetApp’s Category Leader ranking for CRM, coming in at #4 in Q4 2017. Strong scores of 19 for its security features, 16 for its media presence, and a 14 for its user reviews contributed to its overall score of 77, solidifying Teamgate’s spot as one of the leading CRM solutions in the cloud.

GetRank is GetApp’s quarterly ranking of the top 25 CRM cloud-based apps. The rankings are calculated on the basis of each app being scored using five differing criteria, each worth 20 points, from a total possible score of 100. The criteria are as follows:

1. User Reviews,
2. Integrations,
3. Mobile Apps availability,  
4. Media Presence and
5. Security.

Each app’s score is independent of commercial interests and existing relationships which GetApp has with individual app vendors.

The five data points employed to rank each app are:

User reviews – The score for user reviews is calculated using a Bayesian estimate, which is a weighted average including the number of reviews and the rating of an app benchmarked against other apps in the category.

Integrations – Based on the number of integrations with other apps listed on GetApp.

Mobile Platforms – Based on the availability of an Android and iOS app and its rating in Google Play and the App Store, respectively.

Media Presence – Based on the number of followers and fans on Twitter and Facebook, respectively.

Security – Based on a security survey developed by GetApp in collaboration with Microsoft, modeled on the Cloud Security Alliance self-assessment form.

With a maximum high score of 100 up for grabs, each data point is scored out of 20 and weighted equally. If two or more apps have the same score, higher security scores take precedence, followed by reviews, integrations, mobile, and media scores.

This scoring system ensures that the ranking is completely independent of any commercial relationship which GetApp has with software vendors. High user opinion, the ability to function well with other software solutions, availability on mobile, a strong online presence, and a high level of security reflect applications which are reliable and well-respected in the market.

Using this list as a point of reference, software buyers and small business owners can get a good sense of the market landscape for whichever software they are looking for.
