Case Study: Control Technology Corp.
Control Technology Corp. replaces Sage ACT! with Sugar Professional for increased flexibility and end-user adoption for on-demand deployment
If you don't care about money, than use Salesforce.com, but if you do, you'll get a lot more bang for your buck with SugarCRM. The ease of customization and flexibility with Sugar resulted in a lot more value in the long run.
