I am looking for the most suitable and easy to configure solution that would integrate Magento with a CRM.
Which CRM is more suitable and compatible with Magento?
Thanks in advance,
We are using SugarCRM right now with Magento and it works very well. The connector is like $200 and does everything we need.
http://www.vivendoconnect.com/crm/sugarcrm-standard-extension.html was where we got it
I have heard of Microsoft Dynamics, Highrise & Zendesk CRMs as well, but how much are they manageable through Magento extensions is my major concern.
Also as "Josh" said, there are extensions for SugarCRM.
There are also extensions for other famous CRMs as well like Salesforce & viger in Magento.
May be this post is old, but still I'm interested in knowing the details of the possibility of the integration as well.
Hope it helps.

Need help in integrating third-party systems in Magnolia CMS. Preferably, a commenting or a forum system since Magnolia doesn't support these modules anymore. Some third-party system that Magnolia suggested are: Disqus, IntenseDebate and Discourse.
source: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS56/Commenting+module
What exactly do you need? If you need to integrate with a third party service, it should pretty easily doable via REST and almost all the services provide REST APIs these days.
That being said those modules are no longer supported but if you want to use them you still can (just add them to the bundle) that being said perhaps you need to migrate them to 5.6 then please have a look at: https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS56/Upgrading+to+Magnolia+5.6.x#UpgradingtoMagnolia5.6.x-Vaadin8andcustommodules
HTH,
Cheers,
I have got a project from a model who wants to build a site similar to oprah.com
I went through oprah.com and tried to find the CMS it is using but failed miserably. Does anyone has any ideas?
Moreover, which Joomla! components can be used to mimic the Oprah's site?
This is a custom built site, which was built ofver several years. I do not know about the CMS, but it does use J2EE, Oracle DBMS and Autonomy’s IDOL search and personalization engine and Jive’s Clearspace collaboration software for discussion forums and blogs. I would predict therefore that the CMS is either bespoke or another paid for CMS solution. I agree with pharalia - it is definately not an php-based open-source product such as Wordpress or Joomla
You could easily replicate this look in Joomla, or Wordpress or Drupal for that matter. Since I know Joomla best and you asked, I would use K2 with a couple of different display modules for a site like this. RokStories and RokTabs come to mind but there are all kinds of K2 compatible modules out there now.
That said, I'm not sure I would want to replicate a site this old. It makes some really basic mistakes that Oprah might be able to get away with, but someone with less star power is going to have problems.
what's a good cms for web shops ? I've always used Drupal so far, but I haven't ever developed webshops. I saw there are Magento and a Drupal module Ubecart.
I actually would like to know a "known, easy to use webshop framework so I don't have to take care abuot security issues.. etc
thanks
I have been using both Magento (community edition) and Ubercart depending on client's target hosting preference. I must say that Magento has some impressive functionality and flexible as it has been around for a while. However there are some serious problems with this. Upgrading Magento to the latest version is a complete nightmare and have a good chance of needing to reinstall. Building your themes in Magento is so convoluted, it takes so many inheriting files to create a simple layout change. There is cummunity support, but most of them screaming for help as I remember. Magento model is "make money from support". So I found that they are not so quick to help on the forums.
With Ubercart it is refreshing to see the amount of active help. I think this is important if you are new this. If you are already familiar with Drupal, then I would say stick with Ubercart. It is much simpler to manage than Magento.
They are both good with application security, but you will need to setup your own SSL cert anyway. I've played with some other carts such as Zen and OS Cart, but found them inferior compared to Ubercart and Magento.
There are more than 500 of them. shopping-cart-reviews.com has a search by parameters feature, does a good job.
If I where you, I would compare open source packages like magento and ubercart against hosted ones like our own SolidShops.com.
Check out my blog post about magento (and open source ecommerce packages) versus hosted ones. I've outlined when to go best with open source / hosted depending on your situation.
We've built SolidShops.com specifically for web designers that need an easy and flexible platform for building small to medium sized stores. It's hosted so you won't have to install, update, secure, backup, ... a thing
Design is 100% flexible if you know html and css and it's a breeze to set up.
I've been asked to develop a product catalog for our company. We have maybe 20 products, but I'm not sure where to start.
I have some PHP experience and Wordpress CMS experience. I was hoping for an existing framework or solution so I wouldn't have to start from scratch. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not looking for an ecommerce site as we are NOT selling anything through the site. Its just a showcase.
Especially if you don't ever want to sell: Don't use a framework. Use Wordpress! Create a site for every product, and link them appropriately. Use a theme that allows you to group sites.
This way you work with a CMS you are familiar with, you have the advantage of all the Wordpress goodies (permalinks come to mind), and you don't have to code much at all.
Opencart is a great solution can be easy moded as product catalog
Check their forums
I would like to setup a portal for my development team to share the ideas, reports, documents, images, etc. Something similar to MS SharePoint but free/open source.
Can you please share what do you guys use for the same?
Check out DotNetNuke
Trac and MediaWiki would be my top two picks, depending on whether or not you wanted ticketing integrated. Don't forget, also, that MediaWiki has a robust plugin ecosystem, so anything you wanted to add above and beyond wiki and discussion functionality might well be available.
Redmine is another good pick - I don't love it quite as well as Trac, but it's much easier to set up on the shared host where I keep my project management tools.
