The small business market in particular is really lacking in products specifically designed for it (and affordable and to-scale for small business owners!). I think the availability of break-downs of different products is getting more as opportunities within the small business arena for solution providers grow, but still it’s nice to see some analyses coming out – slowly but surely – about different useful programs.

AFAIK, SplendidCRM is yet another fork of SugarCRM.

You may want to check vTiger that got nice – and opensourced – tools/add-ons for Thunderbird, Firefox, Office and Outlook.

To add to what Jesse said, when you do need more than 3 users, you can still use zoho. I find that the tool is extremely flexible and most importantly, the zoho team is very responsive to feedback.

One of the biggest benefits of <a href="http://crm.zoho.com" rel="nofollow">Zoho's CRM</a> is that they have many other great online tools as well. And to Samuel's point, Zoho may have strict restrictions on numbers of users, etc but they do provide and outstanding service for what it is. When a user outgrows it, it might be time to look for a commercial CRM product. I agree with Bob when talking about great online CRM products.

They put strict caps on how many people can use an app for free, though. Zoho CRM limits you to three users, and if that's all you need that's great. In the case of CRM apps, though, I think the utility of them often becomes most clear when larger groups are sharing database-centric information. That' s where lots of workgroups of larger size can get a lot out of Splendid's offering. Good point about Zoho CRM, and I like many of their free tools.

Seems to be pretty similar feature set to Splendid, they offer free service for up to 3 accounts, and they don't warn you like Splendid's clause: "understand that this service is provided for evaluation purposes and that the data will not be guaranteed in any way. <a href="http://www.zohocrm.com" rel="nofollow"> I would put more faith in Zoho CRM.
