SugarCRM (On-Premise)

 

SugarCRM is great but not without challenges, especially the on-premise edition. An attempt to share hard earned lessons that may help SugarCRM admins.

 

Over the course of seven years we used four different CRM solutions. Finally we settled on a fifth, SugarCRM, that, three years in, still seems to be the best solution.

But – it has often been trying. SugarCRM is easy to customize, but easy to break as well. Especially if you are using an on-premise SugarCRM deployment.

I've found some good resources and learned some things (including a great trick – using a free CloudFlare account to almost double the performance of SugarCRM) along the way. As much of it as possible ends up here, in the hopes it might help other on-premise users.
