Evolution vs. Interprise Suite
I am researching all-in-one business management software for a micro service business (commercial real estate appraisal) with less than 10 employees, no manufacturing, no inventory and no ecommerce website needs.
I have narrowed my search down to Evolution (www.darwinproductions.net) and Interprise Suite (www.interprisesuite.com).
Most of the comments in this forum's threads concerning these two newcomers to this CRM/ERP/Accounting/BPM space are somewhat dated.
I am interested in anyone that is actually using either of these currently in their businesses, or who has at a minimum at least demo'd trial versions of one or the other recently (last six months) in their current versions.
Any real-world knowledge or recommendations about these two products specifically would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Knowledge of Evolution or Interprise Suite
Hi!
Thanks for your reply!
Do you have direct knowledge or experience with either Evolution or Interprise Suite?
Can you share how your suggested alternative compares with either of these two programs?
Any personal knowledge of either Evolution or Interprise Suite would be greatly appreciated!

Evolution | InterpriseSuite | ManageMore | e-manage
Hi Infosourcing!
Thanks for your comments regarding Evolution (www.darwinproductions.net) and InterpriseSuite (www.interprisesuite.com).
I am still leaning towards Evolution as I believe they have more useful functionality for my type of business; however, I still need to more fully demo their product as well as InterpriseSuite's solution.
I have uncovered two other business management software programs in this space that have pretty robust solutions as well:
+ ManageMore business management software (www.managemore.com)
+ e-manage (www.marketplacesoftware.biz)
Do you have any knowledge of either of these. Has anybody else on these forums actually used Evolution, InterpriseSuite, ManageMore or e-manage in their businesses?
Again, I am a small commercial real estate appraiser, looking to bring on employees, systematize my business and create a business franchise prototype office of 12-15 people, and then expand regionally and nationally.
I am not a manufacturer, do not need supply chain management, have no inventory, nor an e-commerce website (store front).
My need is to basically consolidate data from multiple disparate programs I'm using now to run my business (Outlook, Quickbooks, Excel, etc.) to avoid redundant data entry.
I also need strong project/task management, document management and knowledge base functionality for group collaboration on appraisal assignments with appraisal staff and administration support personnel.
Evolution looks perfect for this, but I want to make sure I have covered all the bases in my research.
A huge item for me is cost and the "tens of thousands of dollars" outlays for more mid-size / enterprise products like Everest Software is just not feasible for me at this stage in my business.
Any input from other micro-business owners using business management software is much appreciated!
Thanks!
