I was reading here on

There are two options, which one should choose?

If you have a place to deploy it the community edition would be the one.

I don't have any place to deploy it. Probably just set up it on my Computer.

Would love to hear if what are the other CRM tools are you using in your environment.

JIRA is not a CRM, it is a project management system for tracking software development.

All Atlassian products are for software developers. They exclusively make development software.

Jira isn't a CRM. CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. Jira is something that is used to track software development progress.

Popular CRM packages include: MS Dynamics CRM, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, SugarCRM, vTiger, SuiteCRM, etc.

Oh okay

How about Web portal operation (Share point)?
Where should i start learning about this stuff?
I read it last time @Ambarishrh is working with his share point farm.

scottalanmiller

In all of these cases, best thing to do is get a book, fire up a VM and start playing. Sharepoint is huge to learn and takes a lot of time and effort.

If you want to learn CRM basics and not a specific system, SugarCRM is very popular and is free and open source. You can install it on a Linux VM quite easily. Or you can install it to a system like A Small Orange with a single click. Getting access to a common CRM to play with it would be pretty easy. Then you can say that you have deployed it as well.

Azure has an out of the box SugarCRM in the Web App gallery
