Freshsales reviews

The design and the usage of salesforce automation feature makes Freshsales the best as it has the simplest but most effective features that enables you to create, customize, modify, and monitor sales activities. Creating several marketing campaigns in a short time is also another best feature of Freshsales, the team can work on them and generate reports to high management and even it can give you a prediction of a campaign over a time line. Integration with other products on another hand is also very usable as we used it with other software which worked fine.

The version updates could be a headache for larger companies, migration could take a few months, customer support after sales should be much faster.

Features are mostly standard and nothing outstanding

Support engineers can take months if not a few years to fix the issue.

We use the WhatsApp. marketing on a weekly basis

WHatsApp journey gliches, although this may be a fault with Meta

I like a lot, becausa you can implement, deploy and use the software in few days. The interface its very confortable and its too easy to use. All the types of users can use it.

Nothing at the moment. We hace all cover with freshsales.

I made first experience with SAGE CRM and Salesforce before I started with Freshsales. Implementation was very easy. I use it every day to follow up on sales leads and I send out a newsletter every month. But the best thing about Freshales is the support by Chat. You get immediate responses and help so that can get the job done. In most other CRM solutions there is either no support or it takes forever to respond.

nothing really, Sometimes I miss functionality that is only available at higher costs by purchasing more expensive plans

The integration was quick and painless. The lead generation and omni channel support is outstanding

We would like to see integrations with AI tools such as ChatGPT

Freshsales has lots of good features, and the price is reasonable compared to others in the market. The customer service and support desk is stellar; they are always available to chat and assist within minutes.

The product is difficult to navigate and at times feels unintuitive. Sometimes, it feels as if they're relying on excellent customer service to make up for a less usable app. However, they are always growing and sending out updates, so I know they're working on this. If you're willing to learn the interface and deal with some of its quirks, then you'll be rewarded with creative features and excellent customer service. If you want a simple, easy to navigate and use CRM, I would look elsewhere.

I like the fact, that if offers you some basic features of customization

I hate that when you have custom sales activity you can only have one field set for all of these. Also the scope of access is not so much customizable, of course it offers some basic things but nothing more that that. Also come on, why can't I report those custom sales activities?

We are a company that do partnership with different businesses from Mail Centers to Co-working space. We use Freshsales to track sales activities, create our sales process. We also use Freshsales to communicate a lead. It has a variety of communication channels for email, phones, chats even WhatsApp. We also use Freshsales for reporting, sales activity reports. It pretty much has everything you will need to help your sales team.

Freshsales has a lot of features, and it will take some time for you to learn how to use these features to your advantage.

When you are a one-man band, I need as much automation as possible. Freshsales offers that and is the best at it.

They have a limited list to integrations to other products in the market.

This product offers a lot of features and does offer a multi-touchpoint approach. Email journeys, Whatsapp integration, Chatbots, SMS...

I miss if/than functionality in workflows. That would greatly reduce the manual work when setting up the workflows and adding new conditions.
Another thing that I do not like is the policy and the pricing related to the marketing contacts. All plans have the limitation of 1000 marketing emails per month. This can be quickly exceeded especially if you are sending newsletters to your contacts. There is an option to upgrade, but that is way too expensive and completely unscalable when a business grows. We have overcome that with integrating CRM with SMTP service that takes over this part and is calculated on the number of emails sent.

Deals pipeline, account and contact management

workflows, cannot use more then 1 currency,

ease of use and as expected for tracking leads and contact management

sometimes there are bugs in filtering contacts

Been using it for about two weeks so far and the layout is very nice. Still need to get used to the interface but it is easier to use than HubSpot.

With quite an extensive database, I feel like HubSpot loads everything faster than Freshsales.

The most impactful features of Freshsales are Lead Scoring, Email Tracking, and Visual Sales Pipeline. Its customer support team is superb

The login experience sometimes is tricky.

Easy to use, intuitive interface, initial setup is easy and integration is also possible like Gmail. Good tool to manage your sales pipeline and very handy in running email campaigns.

Customer support is not up to the mark. They always respond very late. Its reporting system is also not that effective.

Easy to use product with user friendly UI and comprehensive feature package. Very good product for SME and big companies with affordable pricing plans inclusive of all necessary features for sales and inside sales team . Custom fields, pipeline customizations are some of the best features that make the product convenient to use.

Analytics feature needs improvement in terms of sync lag.
Some product features seem relevant to retail / ecommerce businesses. We are into IT consulting services, some B2B features seem irrelevant or inadequate.

Comprehensive CRM tool which blends in with your e-mail box. Primary advantage is that it screens and displays e-mails only from the contacts listed in the CRM (no need to browse through internal / vendor communication, while searching for any e-mail). Further, it categorizes conversations corresponding to a particular person (contact), company or any deal. Also, including complete record of calls, e-mails, chat and other communication to one customer by various people in the organization

The ease of task delegation / collaboration with others in the team is a cakewalk with FreshSales. Another benefit is task, appointment reminders across time zones. In addition to this, it can also tag the location for the meeting accurately on google maps / Uber app.

Tracking of e-mails - it not only tracks if the e-mail is opened but records the number of times it has been opened with the respective time-stamp. One more highlight is the bulk e-mailing to the complete database at a single click. Importantly, the e-mails are recorded as individual emails to parties in your e-mail box with a metric analysis of opens, bounces, clicks of the shared hyperlink.

Second aspect to the CRM tool is the managerial feature of generating reports. It displays reports for all team members with respective sales activities, follow-ups, action items against every deal.

Access of complete database via the mobile App! This enables quick review and follow-up drastically reducing response time to customers.

A limitation observed is that the software takes longer time to load in case of heavily loaded database.

Freshsales is always aiming for the best user experience. The support is very fast and eager to understand and solve problems.

What makes it good is the main fault for me as well: The software changes so much that a lot of times wrong translations come with it as well as not every single update only contains senseful stuff.
