#2We've been using Streak at Entelo and we're very happy. The "social integration" provided by most CRM systems is lacking and when you combine Streak and Rapportive inside of GMail/Google Apps, it's really quite powerful.
The CRM landscape feels like it's undergoing a change somewhat similar to what happened a decade ago when cloud-based providers like Salesforce disrupted incumbents like Siebel. Salesforce, while a very powerful product/company in many ways, is not immune to disruption and it's great to see folks like Streak, Nimble, 37Sigs/Highrise attempting to compete with them.

#3I highly recommend this for those using google apps and looking for a light-weight CRM to handle inbound email leads. I looked at Salesforce and shuddered at the complexity when I just wanted a way to make sure I followed up with inbound email inquiries in a methodical fashion.
It's a big upgrade from my previous homemade gmail tagging system / boomerang hack. Also, the reusable text snippets are a huge time saver.
There are a few improvements that could be made, but overall I think the product was executed beautifully.
Nice job guys.

I've been using Rapportive forever -- I am actually surprised there aren't more startups trying to eat Salesforce's $65-200 per seat per month lunch.

#10I've been one of Streak's biggest advocates for a while now-- I use it for everything. In particular, it's been extremely helpful for hiring, fundraising, and business development at MixRank. I highly recommend it.
