Having used BCM for 2 years or so I would say that as a basic contact
management program it’s quite good because of the look and feel of Outlook.
Be aware of the limitations such as the lack of customisation and the
inflexibility in opportunity tracking.
I’m also not sure how (or if) the product works well with multiple (or
remote) users. I have asked the question here several times and not got a
straight or consistent answer. In short, it looks good and if you want (and
use) the basics it’s OK
