Considered Both Products	Expandi.io No answer on this topic	Freshsales Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales HubSpot CRM and Zoho CRM Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales There is a bit of learning curve required for SugarCRM and Microsoft Dynamics. Also, admin activities are not easy to navigate and understood, wherein it is very simplified, easy to learn in the case of Freshsales. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales Freshworks CRM provides more user tools, whereas Zoho CRM is more of a database. Freshworks CRM is more interactive with reporting, task reminders, deal stage flow charts and more to keep clients better organized and moving through the sales process. Zoho CRM did not meet all … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales It's Was Quite easy to implement accross the organization which was not the Case with Microsoft dynamics. It is used Much efficiently with the Mobile and Transparency among the different departments was Clear. Incentivized Helpful? Immanuel Chiplin Sam S Senior executive - Business Development Chose Freshsales Freshworks CRM looks fresh (No pun intended) and feels 3 dimensional. Zoho CRM is good too, but I'd recommend Freshworks for its pricing and how customizable it is. You get immediate assistance from the Freshworks team and is just a click away. You also get faster response on … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales What sold me was the ability to integrated the sales engagement with the CRM to have everything in one place. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales We are a smaller company and simply were not seeing the value in what we were paying Salesforce. We needed a robust opportunity and lead management system that was affordable and [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] has provided us with that. We are now able to track leads, … Incentivized Helpful? Mark Kosier CIO (Chief Information Officer) Chose Freshsales Zoho CRM Salesforce Incentivized Helpful? Brandon Howard Owner Chose Freshsales I haven't used Hubspot or Salesforce myself, but I compared the pricing and as you scale up both of those other services are overpriced compared to Freshsales. Once you get started with a CRM it's very difficult to switch, so I recommend starting with Freshsales so you can … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales For what we needed, Microsoft's product wasn't even close. Terribly expensive, difficult to set up and maintain. Incentivized Helpful? Renan Otero Sales Engineer \| Co-Fouder Chose Freshsales Price, special offers Support in our local place via partners Simplicity of use Incentivized Helpful? Ravikant Tiwari Co-Founder and Managing Partner Chose Freshsales Zoho CRM: very very slow and cumbersome to use Salesforce: It is a giant with a lot of features, but very complicated for an SMB HubSpot: Lacks lots of advanced features that Freshsales has Incentivized Helpful? Prashant Choudhary Business Development Manager Chose Freshsales Freshsales stacks up almost at the same pricing and feature set but does fall short in 3rd party API integration as compared to several of the above listed software, but is still the only one available free of cost entirely if a small firm or a startup requires itself not to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Freshsales Freshsales was better than all the above for us but tied with Zoho. Zoho won because of its countless add-on apps, not because of price. However, price-wise, it was better than all the rest for what you get with Freshsales. For us, the main benefit of Freshsales was … Incentivized Helpful? Jose Adan Ortiz Sales Engineer Chose Freshsales Definitely, with Salesforce, you can obtain a lot more integrations, reports, customizations, but Freshsales can assure the control of your sales targets perfectly for one-third of the SalesForce price. Incentivized Helpful? EW Ellie Wilkinson Senior Internet Marketing Manager Chose Freshsales Freshsales is more cost-effective and easier to navigate than salesforce. It also doesn’t punish you for growing from a startup to SME (salesforce prices quadruple when you go into the next bracket of users). On top of this, the support from Freshsales is brilliant, and you can … Incentivized Helpful? Josh Musson ISR Chose Freshsales I think there isn't really a comparison. Freshsales was the clear winner when it came to choosing our CRM. From a cost to benefit ratio, it just wasn't an option to go with anything else. It is the most used application within our company. We do a Freshsales clean up every … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Styklunas Founder and Creative Director Chose Freshsales Freshsales had more features, especially the ability to do email campaigns, which was a key feature for me. That was a deal-breaker. Pipedrive had a nice UI and was easy to use, but it was mostly focused on pipeline management, so overall it lacked many of the features found in … Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	It is great when you need to scale up the automated outreach. Incentivized Halyna Prykhodniuk Marketing Manager Read full review	Generally speaking for small to mid sized team I really cannot recommend it enough. It has an excellent feature set, good amount of integrations, fairly customisable and backed by solid support. And the pricing is very competitive too. I feel like if your team is larger than that, you might want to look at other alternatives but for teams that size, its really perfect. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Outreach automation Integration Scaling Incentivized Halyna Prykhodniuk Marketing Manager Read full review	Leads: organization, capture, integration Sales: organization, intelligent data about metrics, forecast APIs are very simple and stable to use, Zapier and 3ªpart integrations provided User experience, almost no training is needed to use the solution, more over, a great app for iOS and Android Incentivized Renan Otero Sales Engineer \| Co-Fouder Read full review
Cons	We wish continuous progress like this and more none none Incentivized Halyna Prykhodniuk Marketing Manager Read full review	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Because we didn't have any problems with their solution and the team was ready to help in case of issues. (We had a few questions) Incentivized Halyna Prykhodniuk Marketing Manager Read full review	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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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... Immanuel Chiplin Sam S Senior executive - Business Development Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	We are a smaller company and simply were not seeing the value in what we were paying Salesforce. We needed a robust opportunity and lead management system that was affordable and [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] has provided us with that. We are now able to track leads, opportunities and funnels easily and quickly report on these to senior staff who rely on this information for their board meetings. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	The number of leads increased the price for conversion lowered general scaling Incentivized Halyna Prykhodniuk Marketing Manager Read full review	Freshsales has definitely had a positive impact on our sales. It's difficult to nail down the ROI it has generated, but it's well worth the cost. The savings is mostly in time spent on lead and client follow up, so we can handle more leads and projects with a smaller team. Incentivized Brandon Howard Owner Read full review
