The short answer

Midsize companies that want sales and customer service on one vendor and one customer record.

Skip it if: budget-limited teams that need automation on the entry plan.

Zendesk Sell is the natural choice if your support team already lives in Zendesk, because the shared customer view is worth more than any single feature. On its own it is a good CRM competing against cheaper good CRMs.

$19 per userFull review

Sales-led teams of any size that want reps to adopt the tool without training and manage everything from a visual pipeline.

Skip it if: companies looking for built-in marketing automation or a help desk on the same platform.

Pipedrive is the CRM most sales reps pick for themselves. If your team sells and does not need built-in marketing, start here and add tools through integrations.
