We use salesforce. It's a good product, very flexible. We do a lot of custom programming with it to suit our business process. I think we have over 20,000 contacts in the system. A couple years ago, they had stability issues (I have an infamous blog post on that which was picked up by CNET and some other media). It can be expensive as you grow your organization; at least for the enterprise version. An issue with them is that the contracts are yearly. If you ever decide to leave, it almost has to occur at your anniversary date. Here's a link to some of my blog postings, but they are from early 2006. Things have really improved since then. http://www.billbither.com/cs/blogs/billbither/archive/category/1003.aspx In retrospect, we might have done better with a product like NetSuite as it offers more out of the box like ecommerce integration. But we now have thousands of lines of code built to the salesforce API that would be too costly to transition.
