SuiteCRM

@marcusquinn Having used both I would tend to agree with you, but EspoCRM is costly if you need (even basic) workflow and / or invoicing. These features are included in SuiteCRM.

@ccfu I'm working with Espo daily now and I can say that I don't think anyone needs the Sales Pack, as that's easy enough to reproduce. I don't really use any of the Advanced pack stuff as most of that can be reproduced in Functions. The other stuff you can pretty much do without too unless you're an enterprise, in which case it is very cheap. The ease of working with the API is also an important consideration for me.
I was a fan of SugarCRM over a decade ago, that became SuiteCRM. I'm sure you can get similar results out of it, but the fundamental framework will just always be slower, and there's nothing anyone can do about that than use something else.
I wouldn't object to it being an option with Cloudron, to make it easier for more people to compare, I just don't know if that's justification enough for competing attention to build apps that do fill feature gaps.
