About SuiteCRM
SuiteCRM emerged as a fork of SugarCRM when Sugar moved away from open source. It has since grown to become the leading open-source CRM with millions of downloads.
The platform includes sales automation, marketing campaigns, customer support, reporting, and workflow automation—all without license fees. SalesAgility offers commercial support and hosting.
SuiteCRM appeals to organisations wanting full CRM functionality without per-user licensing costs, especially those with technical resources for self-hosting.
