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

  • Shape Software’s AI-powered CRM is on another level. The sheer number of features packed into one system is incredible, but what impressed me most is how seamlessly everything works together. Automations, communication tools, lead management, reporting every component feels connected, intuitive, and synchronized. Instead of jumping between multiple platforms, Shape gives you a unified system that actually improves your workflow and speed-to-lead. It’s rare to find a platform with this much power that still feels clean, organized, and easy to use. Highly recommend.
  • Pros: Software is ok, sort of, if you can spend extensive time arguing with the Robot to solve technical, set-up and usage issues. I would have to keep telling the Robot that he must have got the answer wrong... i.e. that can't be right, Robot? Then the Robot would literally respond, your right... here is the right answer. other times, I would figure it out on my own without the Robots help and then I would get back to the Robot and tell him what he got wrong and what the right answer is, and then the bot would say, OK thanks, I'll make a note of that...Literally, I'm not kidding. I spent many late nights trying to learn to use Shape software with no help other than a somewhat confused occasionally helpful Robot.
  • I loved the attention to detail and the patience Chloe spent with me to create the website with Shape, and then the changes I requested to get it right was fantastic! I know I asked for a lot, but Chloe hung in there until it was complete, and I was satisfied. I am very happy with the results. Thank you, Chloe and Shape Team, for the web frontend set up!
  • I'm really liking my switch to Shape. Having worked with Total Expert and Surefire in the past, I'm excited about the opportunities and prospects with Shape. My account executive, Corey Chase, is amazing and has really helped me up my game with my clients! Looking forward to learning and growing with Shape!
  • We’ve been using Shape Software for our mortgage operations, and it has been a game-changer. The platform’s features, from lead management to automated workflows, have significantly streamlined our processes, saving us time and boosting our efficiency. What truly sets Shape apart, though, is the incredible customer support. Tristan has been phenomenal—his expertise, responsiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond have made our experience with Shape exceptional. Whether it’s customizing features to meet our unique needs or providing quick solutions to challenges, Tristan has been a true partner every step of the way. If you’re looking for a powerful, user-friendly CRM backed by top-notch service, I highly recommend Shape Software. Thanks to Tristan and the Shape team for an outstanding partnership!
  • Very helpful when it comes to communication and organizing tasks. It’s easy to communicate and leave notes for managers too.
  • I like the most of this CRM is because it is very user friendly and able to make our daily task more convenient.
  • One of the best things about Shape is its flexibility. You can customize it to suit your specific needs and workflow, which means you don't have to adapt to the software – the software adapts to you. This makes it a great choice for individuals, teams, and organizations of all sizes.
  • The system is great but their support and training is what was the cherry on top for me. Not only did I get to personalize and configure the system on my onboarding call but I've sent many questions to their team and I always get a response the same day. I've used many CRMs in the past and that's always been an achilles heal but not here.
  • I truly believe the functionality of the software would be great if it worked as advertised. Very easy to understand and implement dashboard!
