Freshsales vs. LeadDelta

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.

I signed up for LeadDelta because I heard they were the best CRM for business professionals using LinkedIn. I spent hours getting it set up and configured. I wanted to update my CRM contacts with the contact information from my Google account. So I went through the effort of migrating my Google contact data. But it created duplicates of all my contacts. I then tried to delete the duplicates, but the only option is to hide the imported contacts, there is no way to remove them. But hiding them does not remove them from the dashboard data. I reached out for help and had to argue with the customer support that my dashboard was indeed showing data for the hundreds of contacts I manually selected and hid. I was told they could not remove the contacts from their end. As a software engineer, I know it is not that hard to update a database. But I was told it was impossible. I politely asked for a refund, twice, but they refused, even though I had just subscribed 2 days prior and was never able to use the software to track my contacts. I had to contest the charges with the credit card company, and now LeadDelta is fighting the refund. I cannot believe their lack of customer service and care.

• 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

• Update contacts from Linkedin
• Displaying data
• Tagging Contacts

• Leads and Contacts do not seem to be adequately defined.
• Reporting is not as robust as we would like it to be
• Integration with FreshDesk is one way - we can see information from FreshDesk to FreshSales but not vice versa

Incentivized

• They should not require payment to clean up data when uploading from Google
• They should allow deleting contacts and cleaning up the dashboard
• They should allow rolling back failed merges with external databases

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

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...

We selected FreshSales because we needed something cheaper and more user-friendly than Salesforce, but we're now in the process of switching to HubSpot because it gives you the best of both worlds - ease of use + scale and reliability

LeadDelta was supposed to be easier to use and update. It was recommended to me as a better way to track my contacts and organize my followup. But with data corruption, LeadDelta became unusable for me, and they were unwilling to make it right.

• Increased visibility of open deals, as well as encouraging 'clean' data
• Faster data updating (if Freshsales is used as our sole source of data)
• Some follow-ups are missed, as sales staff forget to create new tasks after each follow up, depending on if the call was answered or not (for example)

Incentivized

• Cost me 2 days of work before it became unusable.
• Cost me $300 which they do not want to refund despite their inability to fix my dashboard.
• I wish I had never used LeadDelta in the first place.
