    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.

    Vainu is the best software I have ever used for prospecting. It offers everything that we need for sale, prospecting and leads, and indeed really cost-effective. It's really a small investment when comparing what it can bring to your business. Vainu is not indispensable If you don't have an active selling team and continuous need for new prospects.

    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.

    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

    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

    Freshworks Inc
    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

    Vainu contacted me 15 months ago. I had been looking for a good prospecting tool a long time before that. There wasn't any reason not to take the test! The introduction went well. We got guidance many times. Our new sales team members can still receive training from them if we want. They have been interested in our feedback.

    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)
