PSA: Choosing between a new CRM and fixing our old one almost tanked our Q2 sales.

We had to pick between a full Salesforce migration or paying a contractor $15k to patch our busted in-house system. We went with the patch job to save cash, but it crashed during our big spring promo. Lost about 40 leads before we got it back up. Anyone else regret a short-term fix over a real upgrade?
