Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Protection Officer

Weighted verdict

Knows a CRM is a database of other people's personal data before it is a sales tool. Optimizes for GDPR posture: EU hosting, DPA, subprocessor hygiene, consent fields, retention and deletion that actually delete. Rejects US-default hosting and enrichment features that scrape contacts from the open web.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Data Protection Officer

Contact & data model

How this is scored

Depth and hygiene of the core records — contacts, companies, deals, custom fields, deduplication.

0 — A flat address book; no relations between people, companies and deals.

3 — The standard three objects exist but customization is cosmetic: few field types, no required fields, duplicates accumulate unchecked.

5 — Custom fields across objects, basic dedupe on create, activity history on the record; complex models still need workarounds.

8 — Rich field types with validation, merge and dedupe tooling, relationships beyond the standard model, permissioned field access.

10 — A genuinely modelable system: custom objects or equivalent, bulk hygiene tooling, field-level history — the data model bends to the business, not the reverse.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The record model is essentially unevidenced: the evidence shows customer-adjacent artefacts (quotes-to-invoices, 'unlimited customer document storage') but nothing on contact/company/deal objects, custom fields, validation, or deduplication. A database of third-party personal data whose data model is undocumented is a liability I cannot score above 'barely structured'. 1 2

Report an error

Pipeline & forecasting

How this is scored

Whether the pipeline enforces a process and produces reporting a finance department accepts.

0 — A kanban of deals with amounts; nothing is enforced, nothing rolls up.

3 — Multiple pipelines and stage probabilities exist, but no required fields per stage and only canned reports.

5 — Stage requirements, win/loss capture and standard forecast views; custom reporting is limited or an add-on.

8 — Enforceable process (required fields, stage gates, routing), custom report builder, forecast by team and period with quota tracking.

10 — Forecasting a CFO signs: weighted and commit-based views, historical snapshots, attainment tracking, and reporting composable enough to answer questions the vendor never anticipated.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A single bullet labelled 'Budget forecast' is all that exists; no evidence of pipelines, stage requirements, win/loss capture or any reporting a finance function would accept. Silence here means no enforceable process can be credited. 1

Report an error

Automation & workflows

How this is scored

Triggers, sequences and routing that remove manual work without a consultant.

0 — No automation beyond email templates.

3 — Simple if-this-then-that on records; no multi-step sequences, no branching.

5 — Multi-step workflows with delays and branching, email sequences, basic lead routing — capped by tier or count.

8 — Full workflow builder across objects with webhooks as steps, round-robin routing, sequence analytics.

10 — Automation as infrastructure: versioned workflows, error handling, per-step logs, and limits generous enough that the feature is not its own upsell.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

'Marketing automation' appears as a bare label with no evidence of triggers, branching, routing or sequence limits — and automation that processes personal data without documented controls is exactly what I cannot vouch for. It clears 'no automation' but nothing more. 1

Report an error

Integrations & API

How this is scored

Two-way email/calendar sync, native connections, and an API that treats external systems as first-class.

0 — No API, no sync; data enters by CSV and leaves never.

3 — One-way email logging (BCC), a handful of Zapier triggers, a read-mostly API.

5 — Two-way email and calendar sync for the major providers, a documented REST API with sane limits, a modest native directory.

8 — Deep native integrations for the revenue stack, webhooks, OAuth apps, API parity with the UI for core objects.

10 — An ecosystem: public API covering everything the UI does, event streams, a marketplace, and sync so reliable the CRM can be the system of record without being the only system.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A 'marketplace of integrations' is claimed but there is no evidenced API, no two-way email/calendar sync, no webhooks. Every integration is a data-flow to a third party, and with no documented API or connector scope I cannot assume any depth beyond a modest directory. 1

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where other people's personal data actually lives and under whose law — entity, hosting, subprocessors, DPA.

0 — US entity, US-default hosting, no public DPA or subprocessor list.

3 — A DPA exists and an EU region is available on request or on top tiers; subprocessor exposure to US CLOUD Act reach is broad and undocumented.

5 — EU hosting selectable at signup, published DPA and subprocessor list; core processing still touches US entities.

8 — EU entity or EU-default hosting with published subprocessors, consent-friendly fields, retention and deletion controls; residual US exposure named and narrow.

10 — European entity, EU-only processing including subprocessors, deletion that provably deletes — sovereignty a DPO can sign off without a caveat file.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The one solid fact is the vendor itself: Sellsy SAS, La Rochelle, France — an EU entity is genuinely better than a US default. But the evidence records no sovereignty attributes at all: no EU hosting commitment, no published DPA, no subprocessor list, no retention or deletion controls on either captured page, so I can certify nothing about where contacts' data lives or under whose law. 1 2

Import, export & exit

How this is scored

Getting in with history intact, and out with everything — the anti-lock-in criterion.

0 — Import is a support ticket; export is contacts-only CSV missing notes, activities and files.

3 — Self-serve CSV import with mapping; export covers main objects but drops activity history, attachments or relations.

5 — Guided migration from major competitors, full-object CSV export, API access sufficient to rebuild the database elsewhere with effort.

8 — Complete export (all objects, history, files) self-serve in open formats, import with dedupe and dry-run, no API metering that prices exit out of reach.

10 — Exit as a feature: documented full-fidelity export, migration tooling both directions, and contractual data-return terms — leaving is a weekend, which is exactly why you can stay.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Both captures are entirely silent on import, export, migration tooling and API access — the anti-lock-in criterion has zero evidence behind it. As a DPO, a controller who cannot show me an exit path for the personal data they hold gets close to the floor. 1 2

Report an error

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Whether a buyer can compute the real invoice — per seat, per month, at renewal — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — An entry price exists, but the tiers most buyers need are unpriced, or per-seat maths is obscured by bundles, minimums or mandatory onboarding fees.

5 — Most tiers carry real numbers with billing period and VAT treatment stated, but at least one commonly needed capability hides in an unpriced tier or usage-metered add-on.

8 — Every tier priced publicly including annual/monthly split; limits, seat minimums and overage rules stated; only genuine enterprise contracts are custom.

10 — Complete price computability: every tier, add-on, usage meter and renewal rule public, with a calculator or table that makes the invoice at 3 and 30 seats a two-minute exercise.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Credit where due: all three tiers are publicly priced per user with monthly/annual split, VAT treatment stated (excl. tax), 12-month commitment and the 2-user minimum disclosed — the invoice is largely computable. It falls short of full computability because the feature-to-tier mapping is sparse (storage limits below Elite, where budget forecast and marketing automation land) so a buyer cannot fully price capability, only seats. 2

Where this could be wrong

Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 16 Sep 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
Weak sourcing — Data residency, Subprocessors, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
