I was so excited about this product initially. It was an ambitious project, attractive pricing, and mountains of promises.

But It's 5 months later, and this is still totally unusable.

I bought the AppSumo Tier 3 deal back in September with REALLY high hopes for NinjaPipe. But after all this time, I cannot even begin to use this as a CRM.

Here are the two biggest problems.

Contacts:
There is still no contact syncing with Google. This means maintaining two separate contact databases. Immediate non-starter. Even organizing contacts within Ninjapipe is a slow process. Moving people into groups is a one by one process.

Nothing is connected...or finished:
Pipelines, Deals, Products, Quotes, Invoices...they're all disconnected.
> Deals should be in pipelines.
> You should be able to add quotes to a deal in a pipeline.
> You should be able to see what deals a company is associated with.
> You should be able to send emails from deals and pipelines.

I am certain that the small team at NinjaPipe is working really hard on this, but it is so far away from usable or competitive at this point that I have to admit I'm really disappointed.

As someone with ADHD, I understand trying to do too much at once. Right now, Ninjapipe is trying to do a lot of things, and nothing is finished.

😫 We don't need projects
😫 We don't need a client portal
😫 We don't need chat
😫 We don't need marketing forms and data bins

We need Pipelines with Deals, Emails with contacts, and a system we can use to manage relationships and sales. I abandoned Pipedrive on the potential of Ninjapipe. Now I'm back to using Notion, and even that is helping me manage better at this moment.

At best, this is a **nice looking** set of different disconnected, incomplete tools. For this to become a CRM, it must help us manage our customer or client relationships.

So, for now, I give up.
