    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.

    Zoho One helps me to create and document each of my closures by creating deals. Zoho One helps me to generate reports, which helps me to track my contact. Zoho One helps me on creating tasks and reminds me to get it done on time. Zoho One keeps each steps and actions I took from lead to a deal.

    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

    • In my opinion, SUPPORT IS AWFUL!!!
    • If you want to get in touch with a support representative, your best bet is to call the sales number and demand to speak with an agent.
    • Each of the tools operates in a silo, from a support perspective. Some applications, like books, have chat-based support and others require an e-mail.
    • In my experience, expect any e-mail to the main support e-mail to go unanswered.
    • The first year of support was great, but after we renewed for the second year, it has become terrible.

    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

    We've been a long time user and are always tweaking our automation to gain efficiencies while improving our service levels. It's pretty easy to come up with what you want to do and then do it yourself. Though, if you're looking to do some really tricked out automations, use of a Zoho Consultant would be a better idea as you'll get exactly what you need much quicker.

    Support Rating
    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...

    Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

    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

    There is nothing quite close to what Zoho offers with Zoho One in terms of breadth and depth of applications integrated together as a single product. Also, you get to manage a single license and user management on Zoho One, whereas you would need to work with multiple vendors and also simultaneously take care of billing and contract management with all of them. It is much easier with Zoho One

    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)

    • It is hassle-free to access, which saves you a lot of time and manual effort to get the data accessible.
    • Lead status and follow-ups in one place- what you require is a paradise for the Sales team.
    • Reduces the work of HR a lot.
