TropoCRM vs Catalyst
Catalyst carries the weight of a product designed for a different era. The interface is dated, mobile access is an afterthought, and every change routes through IT. TropoCRM is cloud-native and modern — updates ship continuously, the mobile app is first-class, and your reps can actually use it in the field.
