    Freshworks Inc
    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.

    Sprinklr
    In my perspective, I would say Sprinklr Modern Sales &
    Engagement is best suited for teams and organizations who are more involved in
    automating social media activities, getting a great analytical report on
    activity engagement, and generating lists and bolds that helps determine the
    trends and events, etc. One of the best tools that one could use for clients
    with every information they would need.

    Pros
    Freshworks Inc
    • 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.

    • Customization - Through Sprinklr's rules and robust custom field creation, you really can create a lot of customization for every facet of your business.
    • Listening - Their Listening Engine and Explorer are fantastic ways to proactively find engagement-friendly conversations, in addition competitively research your brand.
    • Care - Using their case formatting, messages and customer contacts can be routed and assigned easily to available reps, and their bot builder can help to automate your contacts without sacrificing a personal touch.

    Cons
    Freshworks Inc
    • 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

    Sprinklr
    • Overall, Sprinklr rewards users to do a lot of digging on their own to get to the more in-depth functionalities. For instance, the asset manager feature leads you to a dashboard with all the content you ever published but doesn't tell you what to do next or how to organize it
    • Sprinklr offers basic social listening features, but it is much more limited than other pure social listening players like Crimson Hexagon or Brandwatch. It is perfectly usable for a quick search but I wouldn't recommend it as your sole social listening platform

    I really do feel that Sprinklr is the most complete enterprise social media program. It covers everything you would need to do to run a strategic social media program. On top of that, the success managers are really the best. Our success manager goes above and beyond for us and has been so helpful to us with setting up some very specific repots and profiles. Paul (our CSM) has been great about keeping us up to date on the latest features and functionality as well as helping us set up innovative dashboards as need

    Usability
    Freshworks Inc
    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

    The user interface, training via Sprinklr university and detailed articles on almost every topic in the knowledge portal make Sprinklr a complete package. This is also GDPR compliant, helping us stay good with the info security. The layout of the navigation is easy and anyone new to the tool won't be overwhelmed

    Support is amazing. We have had to reach out [to] them only a few times in the past few years. Each time, they were back in touch with us within the hour or two, no matter the time. We've always had our issues addressed quickly and promptly corrected. They are a great team to work with.

    Return on Investment
    Freshworks Inc
    • 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)

    • Reports can be customized and exported easily in many different formats. I especially like the PowerPoint version of reports. It quickly and professionally creates a custom slideshow to show the metrics of the platforms and time periods you choose. This is a great way to keep your company's C-level executives informed on your team's progress and investing in your efforts. This is especially true for executives that do not personally use or understand the value of social media.
    • Brand reputation management is always a great investment. The dashboard alerts you in real-time when your brand or product is mentioned across any of the platforms and offers a quick and efficient way to respond. The Sprinklr customer experience cloud can be implemented across your entire organization, including CRM and email systems.
    • If you're not growing you're dying. That alone helps me with the ROI of using Sprinklr for my client's business objectives.
