BizConnect vs. Freshsales

[BizConnect] is a great tool for all those people who are messy in managing their contacts and want things to get managed. It is a comprehensive tool even for a large number of business cards. One can share contact to anyone using this tool without facing any difficulty. It manages contacts so well and I can get access to any of the contact very easily. It has some flaws like the customer support team and Subscription rate.

If you are a smaller organization you are probably ok to use [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] vs Salesforce - you will save money and still get some great features. I would not recommend for a very large enterprise. It is also challenging to have the support come from another region although they do try to be very responsive.

• Transcribe business card data that can be easily exported into Excel.
• Great customer support. I had several questions and they always promptly reply.
• App is super intuitive to use. Can scan a stack of business cards within minutes.

• It helps you automate your onboarding process for new leads.
• It has lots of integrations with other apps, so you can interact with other things like calendars and calls.
• It's pretty easy to set sequences so the platform automatically follows up with people for you. This is not only helpful for your sales pipeline, but also for client communication when working on a project that requires their input.

Incentivized

• Its interface is a bit tricky.
• Its charges [feel] outrageous and unfair to some extent.
• Although its scanning is accurate, it takes time and I think this is the point where it needs improvement as scanning should be fast.

Incentivized

• Persistent and pervasive down time
• Lack of scalable integrations with data source (e.g., their Segment integration is barely functional and they won't improve it)
• Slow and unhelpful customer service
• Account management doesn't understand our business or what we're trying to accomplish
• Email campaign feature is barely functional and only allows you to have 10 campaigns, even with the most expensive plan
• Lead and contact records have gone missing and FreshSales is unable to recover data

I would give Freshworks CRM's overall usability a 7 out of 10. Although the software has improved since we first obtained it, it still could use improvements to make functionality more intuitive and easier for the average user. It is not that challenging but there is definitely a learning curve

They have always been incredibly responsive to my questions. They have a great chat feature within their application for asking questions. Their replies show up directly within the app. Super easy functionality to use. On my own accord, I even reached out to the CEO of the company and have had a great dialogue with him on LinkedIn.

When you initially log in to Freshworks, you get snippets to guide you on how to set up. You have a chat option on every page so you can reach out to the support agent and get your issues resolved in real time. The agents are fast, responsive, and experienced in handling even a person who introduced CRM to the world...

CamCard was a bit slow and pathetic tool for the management of business contacts. I really didn't admire the scanning feature of the CamCard which is the most exceptional feature of BizConnect. Moreover, CamCard didn't organize cards in a way BizConnect organizes. and the CamCard didn't work well according to my needs and demands.

Close.io has less features, costs more, and equally has an inside sales team focus, rather than being just as suitable for both inside and outside sales. Having said this, Close.io has important features and smart automations, a cleaner interface (easier for non-techs to use), and has very strong integrations using Zapier, plus SMS-based support. Where Freshsales won for us is that it ended up being nearly half the cost of Close.io, as well as included telephony support for our local country (Australia), whereas Close.io comes with USA/Canada numbers and requires the top pricing tier to include calls to other countries. We needed a telephony system that worked well for making and receiving from Australia. Freshsales won for us because their pricing is at a good point, had the telephony requirements we needed, and all the features that we required were good enough, or we found a workaround.

• It has as such no negative impact on our business.
• We can make better relationships with our business contacts.
• It made it swift for us to find the contact of our need.

• It is too soon to make a determination on ROI, but I do think it will help me be more efficient.
• The reporting functions help me stay on track of sales opportunities.
• The task reminders help me accelerate how quickly deals come together.
