Answers.Text: CRM means Customer Relationship Management. It's just the type of database system that it is. There are a lot of CRMs out there and they can be very different in what services are available through them. At the core, they all store customer/client info for you. Really you need to know what *YOU* need to use the database for in order to choose what one would be good for you. Why do you need the database? What will you do with it? How will the public interact with it

Answers.Text: Can you use them both? Likely. The problem is that your data will become so fractured that you'll likely wish you hadn't used them both. The main purpose of any CRM is to track information on your customers, clients, donors, etc. CiviCRM can collect information on them, you can send emails, people can sign up for events (paid and/or free), people can make donations, people can become members, etc. Like I said, I haven't used the other one, so I don't know what add-ons are available for it. On the surface, it doesn't do many of those things I just listed.

Answers.Text: It's not a store - most CRMs are not. They may allow you to do paid sign ups for an event, but the setup is not there to sell actual items. But there are ecommerce solutions that tie into CiviCRM and update contact information there. You can do marketing - mass emails and such. Tracking sales is more of something for your ecommerce solution.

  CiviCRM is made for non-profits. The *C* in CiviCRM points to your constituents. These are organisations and persons that share the mission of the non-profit. You can use CiviCRM to store the contact details, like address, telephone, and email, but it also has specific modules for specific non-profits processes like:
  
  * CiviContribute to register donations.
  * CiviMembership to register members.
  * CiviEvent to register participants for events.
  
  I do not know SuiteCRM but mostly the *C* in CRM is short for customer, and the application supports the process of selling products and services
  
  Your choice of the software depends on what you want to do.
