Freshsales - CRM for the startup of tomorrow

4.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall Freshsales is a great CRM tool for a new startup to base its sales department.

Pros:

It has a great feature list. Right from adding contacts/leads to the platform, managing lead lifecycle through tasks and creating deals to incentivise the cycle, its a very easy to use platform.

Cons:

The pricing for Freshsales has to be revised as per Indian Geography. Also some basic features like Campaign Management for automated outreach is not present.

Outstanding Sales CRM

5.0 last year

Comments: Freshsales is helping our business grow and spread our product to new lucky customers

Pros:

The integration process was quick and seamless. This product has all the needed features of an outstanding Sales CRM such as Lead Capture, Contact Management, Omni channel support and much more.

Cons:

If FreshSales can be integrated with AI tools such as Vonage AI and ChatGPT that would be the greatest software package one can dream of.

Freshsales. Fresh start.

3.0 last year

Comments: This was our company's first CRM. We still enjoy Freshsales, but often find quirks and areas for improvement that we sent to our representative. There have been advancements since we started with Fresh, but would love to know more insight on what's to come in the next year and three-year plan, so we can prepare and know how the system will improve over time.

Pros:

Up front, nothing seems overcomplicated. It has the essentials we need to track business on the sales side. Those who tend to support tickets are quite helpful. Happy with the timely, honest support we receive!

Cons:

As with any system, there are areas of improvement, wishes for changes, and improvements we would love to see implemented. I wish there were more transparent check-ins telling us upcoming changes that are being worked on in the background. I also wish we were notified when updates were going to run so that could better prepare when "Blackout" periods are going to take place during the workday.

Freshsales has gained the insights of food retail managers.

4.0 5 months ago

Comments: Despite the challenges with reporting, my overall experience with Freshsales has been positive. The platform has effectively streamlined our sales processes, from capturing leads to closing deals. The centralized contact management system ensures that all customer interactions are logged and easily accessible, greatly improving our team’s collaboration and efficiency. The user interface is clean and easy to navigate, making it user-friendly for our team. The automation and AI-driven insights have significantly boosted our sales performance, making Freshsales a valuable tool for our business.

Pros:

As a manager of a small food retail business, I found Freshsales’ lead management and automation features incredibly useful. The intuitive lead scoring and automated follow-up system helped us prioritize high-potential leads, maintaining consistent communication with minimal manual effort. Freddy AI’s predictive insights have notably enhanced our conversion rates, which is crucial for our growth.

Cons:

However, the complexity of the reporting and analysis tools was a significant drawback. Customizing reports to fit our specific business needs proved to be challenging, especially without advanced technical skills. This complexity often made it difficult to quickly generate actionable insights, hindering our ability to make timely and informed decisions.

Comments: My overall experience with Fresh sales is moderately satisfying and helpful, it was very in boosting thv overall sales process

Pros:

Pricing, it's affordable and convient for buyers

Cons:

My least like about Fresh sales is the part of trying hard to convince the buyer to put their money in, I believe the value of the product should be able to be convincing that it will solve the needs of the buyer

Pros:

Since the company I was working with was very much into building customer relationships, this product proved beneficial. Tracking customer records is the best part about it

Cons:

After sales, customer support is not very extensive. Hence maintenance of long term relationships may hamper

Great CRM for Start Ups

4.0 10 months ago

Pros:

It was very easy to implement. We setup email sequences quickly and starting automating sales tasks in just a few minutes.

Cons:

The only issue I have had is I like to export our contacts and conduct my own reporting in Excel. It’s difficult to export contacts and you are limited to the amount of times you can export a day and you don’t have the ability to filter who is exported.

Deeply regret signing up for Freshsales

1.0 8 months ago

Comments: I have never experienced customer service THIS bad before. Total and complete incompetence. We have been using Freshsales for about a year, and it's been nothing but glitchy and problematic. NOTHING is ever resolved, support tickets are left open for weeks, and their customer support team blames their issues on the customer instead of fixing the problem. Their customer support chat will fail mid-conversation, and then the whole chat history is lost. This has wasted HOURS of my valuable time and cost our business money. Freshworks' support team does not have any clue what they are talking about. In the rare chance you *can* get in touch with them, their "solutions" do not work, and when I show them how/why it doesn't work, they don't believe me. It is infuriating to have spent so much money and time on software that our business now relies on only for it to be a huge mistake.

Pros:

Right now, their lack of customer service is canceling out any benefits Freshsales might have had.

Cons:

Glitchy program and TERRIBLE customer service.

all most all the competing CRM providers cannot match the price and features that Freas sales proved

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Saved our company a lot of man hours, and now the company has issued 7.5 hour work day from the overall time saved using freshsales CRM

Pros:

the one feature that caught my eye was the sales automation tool, which made my life and my team's life better in all ways; we saw a 10% growth through Freashsales alone; our team considers Freshsales CRMas a fellow employee who does Automations.

Cons:

I would like more options in the sales sequence in the feature, like doing a trial run, getting custom dates on when it should run, etc.

Freshsales review by Nick Chambers

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: Managing email campgins in a personalised and professional way. Keeping track of and updating changes in circumstances to our correspondents in real time. Filtering contacts according to specific criteria.

Pros:

The customer support - without it we could not have implemented and continue to find new ways of applying it to manage our relationships and grow our business

Cons:

That you cannot create a list of contacts to email straight from your inbox. We often need to send semi standardises responses to several contacts awaiting a reply. At the moment it is not possibe to select and set them up for a bulk email. This would save us a lot of time if you created this very simple feature.

Creates unrivalled efficiency for the team.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: As previously mentioned, genuinely outstanding.

Pros:

Outstanding software. Having everything needed in place, all lead tracking, lead generation, marketing and calls, really does the 360 feel freshworks are aiming towards. Customer support is unrivalled across all other software we have used previously. I would go as far as saying it’s better than any software or saas support I have come across.

Cons:

Having too many features to implement quickly!

Good sales and marketing CRM

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: It's fine overall but earlier support was good and now it's difficult to get a hold of rep.

Pros:

It's comprehensive as this has functionalities for both sales and marketing. This also has freshchat feature which we are using on our website.

Cons:

The support is not good and on the other hand they have made a newer version of it and it took 6 months to migrate us to newer version for the older one.

Review for Freshsales

3.0 last year

Comments: Too complicated for user. Not enough automation for sales activity. Need more features to ease productivity data and a lot of manual work is needed. Will need to improvise on how we are going to measure sales owner strength (sales visits, calls and revenue) to make it simpler to be measure. But other than that, it was good in terms of amending settings and agent that are very supportive to take up any issue and problem arise.

Pros:

-Analytics-Pipeline movement-Fields Tracking-Admin settings

Cons:

-Modules arrangement-API problem-Analytic issue

Enhances our ability to respond to customer requests

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Freshsales organizes our relationship with customers in the required manner, as any email from customers is answered by the responsible member in a timely manner, and we also ensure that our promotional campaign messages reach the targeted individuals and institutions within carefully studied time periods. Freshsales has also increased our organizational capabilities, as all files, messages and contact lists are easily accessible.

Pros:

I really appreciate the simple, intuitive design of the dashboard, as it makes customization easy, and I can navigate between the different sections with ease. Freshsales is also good at how it sorts and classifies incoming mail, which helps us direct it to the responsible member directly, and this is reflected in the speed of response to customer requests. It is also good for the organizational capabilities that Freshsales provides, as we can create a file for each customer and we can save everything related to our relationship with him, including messages and invoices, and that they are saved on the cloud, which makes it easy to access them at any time. I greatly appreciate the scheduling capabilities that Freshsales provides, which allow us to organize the dates of sending emails or text messages to customers according to contact lists at appropriate times, and this is important so that we do not repeat messages in a random way that makes the customer feel bored. Freshsales is also great for the collaborative capabilities that it provides us as a team, where we can share updates on different tasks and also collaborate in preparing reports and marketing plans.

Cons:

Freshsales is easy to use, and it does not require a lot of time to master its effective use, in addition to that the subscription prices are appropriate and are not considered an obstacle to the involvement of all team members.

Legitimately the Worst CRM I've Ever Used

1.0 3 years ago

Comments: Our experiences have been lots of problems, no solutions.

Pros:

They always remember to say "thank you for your patience" when telling us our support tickets haven't been resolved yet.

Cons:

Off the top of my head: The program will randomly delete calendar events, sending cancellations to prospects but not alerting the user. Multiple meetings were missed because of this. It's been 3 months since we reported it and no fix has been offered. Subsequently all the calendaring has to be done manually. The email editor will randomly delete the line ahead when hitting the backspace key or the space behind when hitting the delete key. To make it interesting it will sometimes do nothing when you hit either key. We have a report in the system showing overdue tasks. This report keeps pulling tasks that have actually been deleted from the system. There's no way to clean up the reports because you can't access the deleted tasks they are listing. We just switched credit cards for the account because the previous was expiring. This came at the same time that they've extended us a credit because of all the problems we've had with the system. The result is that the invoice due is less than the minimum charge level on the card ($0.01 due, $0.50 card minimum). As a result they haven't been able to add the card and we keep getting a banner stating access is cut off in 2 days. They've stated this has been fixed but the banner is still there. Those are just a few things... did I mention that if you take notes in the Notes section of a Calendar event the system will randomly forward those to the other party? Found out about that one the hard way...
