Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Freshsales is easy to set up and onboarding was seamless. Its AI chatbot also helps to bring leads. It can be integrated into different email marketing programs. You can communicate with potential leads directly using email and chat. Easy to visualize sales pipeline.
  • Freshsales is a helpful tool to increment sales and have a direct tool to track communication with current clients, as well as attracting more clients through many strategies that the software studies and analyzes with its amazing technology. I am able to analyze all prospects and interact with them in different ways, through the website, through social media, and find out quick information about the client, knowing how they interact with our website, what do they find more interesting and what were they confused about when visiting our site, if this is a potential lead and more interesting things that this software allows me to analyze through their backed-up technology. It is very easy to track visitors and understand the context in which each individual is visiting, and based on that, proceed with the right strategy to turn the lead into an actual client. The process of converting prospects into actual active clients of our business is hugely shortened thanks to the automation that Freshsales provides, the sales sequences are automatically made easier by providing a great timeline of all the stages of the sale process, and having the ability to sort out the contacts based on the quality of them based on interactions to ensure that we finish a sale in a successful manner. It also allows us to organize contact information in order to facilitate the communication between different channels, and it enables multi-channel communication once the information has been submitted, making this part of the sales funnel more automated and great to work with as it becomes more agile. Its artificial intelligence system is like no other, allowing us to have a sort of virtual assistance that is always there to support us throughout all the process, giving us suggestions and studying data when we do not have time to, it analyzes everything in-depth and helps us make the right choice, and choose whether a the sales process of a potential customer will be successful based on data from the past, giving us a potential answer to the final result of the process, and it has been very insightful at providing us with thoughtful answers that we highly appreciate in order to make a final decision on how to proceed or improve our strategies. It not only has helped us in that aspect, but it constantly does many of the tasks that we considered were manual, but now the assistance of the AI does things like maintaining accurate data and maintaining data up to date, deleting duplicates or wrong information and it updates us constantly about our contacts, providing us helpful insight on when are the right times to communicate with each contact based on its detections.
  • The Freshsales platform makes my job very easy. It allows me to connect with leads and attract potential clients. Its user interface is very refreshing and easy to understand. Its automation and analytics features I liked the best. It gives every aspect of data to analyze performance.
  • The UI is very well designed. Works well for basic and important stuff, like creating leads, converting to companies/contacts, adding deals, tracking deal progress. Webforms work well. Pages are very flexible and easy to customize.
  • I like this app, everything is clear in it, user-friendly interface and responsive support. I highly recommend it.

Cons

  • I had a very smooth experience with this product. No cons.
  • I have had a difficult time every time I need to reach out to support about the function of tools or a bug happening that will affect my work, I have contacted support a couple of times through their support chat but it does take a long time for a person to actually reach out to you to take your case and solve it, the customer support lacks persistence and organization when it comes to solving customers’ doubts quickly or even in a moderate amount of time, and I feel like even though there is an attempt, they still have not solved this issue fully. I also find the software to be quite pricey, it certainly is a lot compared to other alternatives that we considered when looking for a CRM software, I feel like this is not a very accessible software to many businesses.
  • The contact import process is not seamless. Take some extra time to import.
  • The company seems to focus on all these fancy things like mobile apps, bots, chat, etc without doing the easy stuff. Like there is no good integration with a 3rd party IP phone service. You have to use Freshcaller - which is terrible. There is no easy way to merge companies or leads. You have to click an multiple tabs and filters to get a decent task list. And the integration with its own product Freshdesk is poor. You would think that you would be able to share records btw Freshsales and Freshdesk - but you cannot. They also have two versions of Freshsales - classic version and Freshsales CRM, We were left behind on Freshdesk Classic and no body told us.
  • I don't see any disadvantages, because for such a price both support and the application itself with a user-friendly interface.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Pipedrive is a great CRM for sales focused teams who want a CRM that is designed for creating and managing opportunities without all of the bloat and unnecessary complexity that you typically see in other CRMs. Its easy to use and makes managing sales opportunities easy.
  • It has an amazing simple & intuitive interface focused on sales pipeline management. It is also very useful for visualizing deal stages & forecasting.
  • Makes lead management easy and I like the "won" graphics on a deal. We've been using Pipedrive for years and it has been reliable. Also the tracking of emails us very useful.
  • * The plans are very flexible for any person and company, it can also be adjusted to the needs of each user who purchases a plan from this platform, since functions of superior plans can be attached to those purchased without directly acquiring a more expensive plan. which will not be used to their full potential. I really liked how they handle the plan system of this platform because it adapts very well to the functions that the end user will take advantage of, so the final price can be adjusted depending on the selected plan and in addition to the additional features that the user goes for. to need in the plan you have selected, therefore you do not pay an excessive price for a plan that will not take advantage of you and that also may have features that are only available in more expensive plans, making everything more flexible. * Its interface is very well worked, so I can say that it is very intuitive so as not to get lost in the process of learning the features that this platform offers. What caught my attention when using Pipedrive for the first time is that compared to the competitors, the functions are more organized, and it is not very difficult to get lost along the way. It goes without saying that it has a learning curve like any CRM, however, I can mention that despite that it is not so cumbersome to be able to learn the functions and tools it offers, but I will leave the negative aspects of this section in the negative aspects. But in short, it seemed to me a very clean platform so that the end user does not have problems when implementing Pipedrive to their work environment or a company adds this platform for the definitive CRM. * The resources of this platform are very good and complete; I have learned a lot about Pipedrive and its complete management of almost all its tools that it offers me. It also has a solid community which has allowed me to further optimize my work by applying certain techniques that have made it easier for me to integrate other platforms into Pipedrive and not have to move information manually. In addition, since I am mentioning the integration with other platforms, this reminded me of how complete your documentation is in relation to being able to connect them through your API, this helped me a lot so that I have control over the handling of information between platforms, being able to create my private apps within Pipedrive and have everything work as planned.
  • The chatbot makes it much easier to have a communication while the clients are not available or are waiting, this solves a lot when looking for quick solutions to the doubts of each client. In addition, you can keep track of this conversation, so you can track everything the client needs and when a staff responds, they can provide solutions in advance, making the job more efficient and quickly. The integration it has with various platforms such as marketing is really very complete, it is also very complete when wanting to integrate a platform that optimizes all the work such as Zapier and also it is not necessary to forget that a communication platform can be integrated and thus facilitate Being able to communicate with customers and employees on both platforms bilaterally. So there will be no problem at the time of having a platform for a specific job and it is not necessary to change the platform for this to end, but rather it adapts to whatever platform you are using in your company. Its platform is intuitive and also in the web version it is free of errors, so it loads very quickly. In addition, it is very easy to use this CRM platform without any problem since any user can access and use it with little knowledge of CRM. Its API is also very complete and easy to use, so if you want to integrate more things through its API, you can do so. I am attaching this. Its documentation for the API is very complete, so it is very easy for IT to understand all the documentation that this platform provides The reports are very complete and also customizable, so there will be no need to use external tools to perform this task, and it also produces good results using this platform. This is essential for me and my company to be able to have a good analysis of the results through the reports generated with Pipedrive, even more so when I can customize what information will be displayed within the reports.
  • + Complete, intuitive and easy interface to manage, organize and customize. In addition, it integrates very well with many platforms, in case you need automation, project management platforms, team chats, cloud storage, video conferences and more are available. You just have to look for availability and what is best suited. It is very easy to understand its functionalities and also does not require much experience with CRM-type platforms to fully use Pipedrive, with basic knowledge it is possible to understand this platform and have good sales management for your company. + I have the ability to sign documents without having to use another platform or integration that allows me to do this type of work. It has been very useful when I need to approve documents with my consent and I want to do everything digitally to speed up the process. I also found it useful when signing contracts with clients that are very remote from my location, allowing ease and accessibility for everyone by not having to require documents to be signed manually. + I like that I can synchronize emails from other platforms like Gmail or my company's emails to have everything in one place and thus be able to send and receive emails within this platform without having to leave. This made it easier for me to be able to apply the templates more easily to my emails created within this platform since I have organized several templates and depending on the need or the client I have different reasons which I can edit and send without having to leave Pipedrive. + Multiple ways to import customer contacts, both from a database and from emails, as well as from another CRM platform. With Pipedrive there will be no problems having all your company's contacts, since it has several ways to import contacts. It has worked for me to import contacts from other platforms which do not have direct integration with Pipedrive, so it has been a good solution for me.
  • Pipedrive is an excellent service to be able to improve the CRM system of any company. I really liked that this platform is capable of registering all the contact information of a client in an automated way. This platform has excellent compatibility and connection with another campaign system. advertising, as well as it has an excellent synchronization system with our sales platform, so every time we get a new client within the campaigns or within our sales platform, they are automatically registered within this CRM platform, all Contacts data is automatically transferred by this system so we can have this in the database, this is fantastic as we will never lose contact with potential customers, we will always have direct contact through various ways. I also like what this platform allows me to monitor in real time each of the customer service that is occurring at a specific moment, within this platform I can view in real time and monitor each of the negotiations that are taking place in my company, since in this company we have many agents in charge of sales, therefore, this main panel helps me monitor and know the active negotiations. In addition, I liked the fact that what is stupid does not allow me to know that people are serving the customer, I can see the progress of this negotiation in real time, and I can also see all the communication they have had since the negotiation began.
  • This software hits exactly where it needs to. You can do all the features that you want with open source integration, without any of the obscene technical skills needed for other platforms.
  • It enables transparent sales pipeline view board. It has an appealing user interface. It offers pre-defined sales triggers and lead management. Extracts lead from multi-channels ( Email, SMS )marketing. Its scheduled email marketing works great. Easy to get connect with clients.
  • It's a comprehensive package to manager your leads to opportunities. You can customise the stages of opportunities as per your requirement. The sales forecasting is great.
