Overall:
Awesome! When I first started the founder would answer my chat questions. Highly engaged leadership and the product continues to evolve for the better.
Pros:
Quickly and easily attaches to SF to keep notes organized with opportunities and accounts. Love the LinkedIn integration for contact management. Clean & simple look is easy on the eyes.
Cons:
The recent template upgrade clutters the note and I frequently click a template by accident instead of free type. But extremely minor. Would also like better organization of personal notes.
Switched From:
Evernote Teams
Reasons for Switching to Dooly:
Salesforce integration.

Thank you for the view and feedback! We’ve heard the feedback about the note templates being a bit too close to the typing area – working on it. And personal notes, it’s on our fix list too – definitely need an easier way to find them again. Kris still sometimes beats me to the support line – he likes to stay on top of user feedback.

Overall:
This product makes it much easier for customer facing people to enter relevant notes into our CRM, which means that they actually do it, which makes for a better customer experience throughout their life with us. By building templates, we have been able to get more prescriptive with the team with respect to the types of questions they ask, and the type of information they gather. We are working toward having Dooly be the motor that drives our Sales Process.
Pros:
As a manager, the Boards functionality allows me to do pipeline reviews MUCH more effectively, as I can edit in-line. By building templates, we have been able to get more prescriptive with the team with respect to the types of questions they ask, and the type of information they gather. This helps us a lot with Sales Process adherence. The playbooks functionality has enabled us to serve the team with Battlecards for competitive situations. The direct sync with Salesforce means that the right info is captured at every step along the way.
Cons:
My only complaint is that there is some work to set it up properly.
Alternatives Considered:
Google Docs
and
Evernote Teams
Reasons for Choosing Dooly:
Direct integration with Salesforce, great support.

Overall:
So they made a small change. I thought I couldn’t find a toggle I’d been using, but I was told they’d redesigned this and I couldn’t actually do what I wanted. This was a bit annoying, but nothing terrible, I’d figure out how to work around it. When I explained my workflow and how I’d been using it, my success manager talked to her team and THEY PUT IT BACK. I use a LOT of tools, and I’ve never heard of a company making a change like this because one customer asked for it. Absolutely incredible service – they’re a joy to work with and this made me a life-long fan.
Pros:
Dooly solves one of my biggest problems with using a CRM: Getting my notes saved on time. I never type my call notes in a crm directly, as the risk of having them not save and losing everything is too high. I used to type into a notepad or word doc, but I’d always forget to copy them over later. Dooly just makes this work seemlessly. You type in one place, hit sync, and it does what it’s supposed to. Read below for the incredible experience I had with their team.
Cons:
I WAS super annoyed that they made a small update that messed with the workflow I’d been using. See below.

Thank you for the review! Appreciate the call out about our team making the fast design change. User experience is top of priority list and our engineering team is incredibly fast. When you pointed out what was missing in the new UI we released we realized it was something we needed to catch right away. Very grateful to have you as a life-long fan!!

Pros:
I’ve used Dooly both as a manager and individual contributor. As an IC it’s the easiest way to capture notes from sales calls quickly into salesforce. The templates also allow ICs to quickly prep for calls and ask consistent questions on those calls. As a manager, it makes onboarding new employees much easier because they can look at templates and feel enabled to start taking calls on day 1. It also means that my team is using a consistent sales methodology and process on the calls, streamlining the way we sell. It also means I can easily look through notes from a call while I’m in salesforce.
Cons:
I wish when logging a call to an record in salesforce you could set it up so that it would auto default to a certain record type. Examples: Sales reps auto default to the opportunity record, CSMs auto default to the account record. This is nit picky feedback, it was hard to think of something.

Overall:
Allows me to stay outside of a clunky Salesforce instance while keeping tabs on my open pipe
Pros:
Bi-directional sync with Salesforce enables me to work exclusively in Dooly. I go into Salesforce maybe once every 3 days. updating my notes is a breeze and being able to see related notes lets me work with my teammates more collaboratively.
Cons:
I’m not really sure as I very much enjoy the tool.

What do you like best about Dooly?
Dooly has been a huge time saver me! Before Dooly, keeping accounts up to date in Salesforce was a huge hassel. Field had to be updated independently and I have to navigate from account to account. Dooly makes it super easy to instantly update Salesforce fields for multiple accounts at once in as few clicks as possible. The ease of use has actually translated to more detailed notes and more success on deals. I’m not forgetting to update accounts/opps simply because I dread the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Dooly?
Using Dooly for the first time was a little challenging. I found the UI to not be super intuitive but learned quickly with usage. Getting templates created and saved was the most challenging part but not a real headache once you get the hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Dooly solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dooly solves for the super time consuming process of updating accounts/opps in Salesforce. One screen to update multiple relevant fields in an acocunt is a huge time saver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dooly?
Dooly can also be a powerful tool for CS teams. It can share information across teams throughout a customer’s lifecycle. There are a lot of great features about Dooly. But if I had to pick my favourite, I love how it syncs nicely with Salesforce, making the Pipeline tool more than just a dashboard for potential sales opportunities. CS employees, such as Implementation Managers and Customer Success Managers, can leverage the Pipeline tool to review customer accounts and opportunities and make necessary edits to synced Salesforce fields (as long as they have the right permissions). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Dooly?
Two focus areas I recommend for Dooly:
1. The Pipeline tool’s dashboard views cannot be tiered. It would be nice if we can group information and create multi- (or at least 2-tiered) views. For example, if I want to view my global contacts list, I’d like to be able to group them by Accounts so it looks more organized and presentable. Currently, my global contacts list is in alphabetical order and I cannot organize them by Account. That said, I am able to filter for the Account I need, so it’s not too bad.
2. Regarding the CS teams, the Notes tool can be a bit challenging without more restrictive permission settings. Currently, every user is able to create and globally share their templates within the organization. This is problematic for a company with hundreds of users in Dooly. We cannot afford to have employees create rogue templates and stray from the Procore Standard and brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Dooly solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. The ability to share information across teams throughout a customer’s lifecycle.
2. Better visibility on customer notes.
3. Easier to locate and access information.
4. Reducing the risk of asking the same questions to a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dooly?
I like how easily it integrates with my calendar and salesforce as I have all the information I need at my fingertips! It’s also easy to store templates in dooly so that I can easily pull up common questions or aspects that are important to my meetings. I also love that is pulls up past notes from you or other users that have worked on an account! I recommend to everyone at my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Dooly?
Sometimes it is hard to bullet certain things and I run into issues sometimes when I hit enter where it for some reason deletes the notes that I have stored. Usually easy to retype. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Dooly solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing of Templates with common questions, calendar/SFDC integration to easily store notes and I don’t have to keep track of all my notes myself as my manager can pull whatever she needs from Dooly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dooly?
Dooly is an highly efficient and effective addition to Salesforce that makes its easy for our AE’s to gather customer Intel, back into SF. They’re able to grab any passing Contact from emails, LinkedIn, etc and record their call notes INSTANTLY back into Salesforce.
Our top AE’s have created their own Playbooks, or use company templates to gather information they need to accelerate their deals. We re-use these proven playbooks to provide new AE’s with the benefit of their experience and best practices, to vastly speed up our on-boarding of new sales people.
If you value quality notes, a predictable and repeatable sales process, highly accurate forecasts and happy AE’s, get Dooly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Dooly?
Occasionally, Dooly loses the tight connection it shares with Salesforce for sync’ing, but once it reconnects nothing is lost and you’re back to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Dooly solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have very reliable and structured notes, contacts and intelligence gathering, the FAST surfacing of Playbooks and guides when needed. Our forecasts are highly accurate, and our AE’s work mostly in Dooly all day, because they save time and effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
