In simple words, Freshsales makes it a lot easier and effective but flexible. All of them are good but some have too many options while some miss out on some very important features and remains the same. Freshsales is not complicated, has a good support team who are dynamic and open to suggestions.

Freshsales is within the Freshworks ecosystem so it was a no-brainer as far as evaluating it as a CRM. We've implemented both Freshcaller and Freshdesk in other areas of our business so we were happy to take a look at Freshsales. We do a significant amount of email marketing so integrating with Mailchimp was a big factor in our CRM evaluation.

  1. Pricing
  2. Feature Set
  3. Modern UI
  4. Confidence that Freshsales will cover all scenarios either directly or via a workaround. They have been building B2B enterprise SaaS products and this gives me confidence that they will figure out a way to meet my requirements in the future.

Freshsales can be integrated with the other product we use called Freshdesk, which is a ticketing system.
We can link sales information such as leads, contacts, and account info to each support ticket. Both systems are interactively connected.

We tried to implement Salesforce for its modularity and advanced features, but we quickly realized that it would be an overkill for our need in the early stage. There were substantial costs required for the implementation in addition to the lengthy process of setting the system up. Freshsales allowed us to get all the functionality we needed for a fraction of the cost and literally in a couple of days we were ready to go with Freshsales.

The main reason I went with Freshsales is because of their suite of tools that integrate perfectly. Before, I'd have a chat system, support desk, CRM all in different tools and it was hard to keep track of leads across different funnels. Freshsales solves this like no other tool could.

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.

I used Salesforce.com previously for a couple years, and my experience with Freshsales has been so much better. I am coming from a small business perspective, but it has been a far superior experience for me compared to SFDC.

Close.io has less features, costs more, and equally has an inside sales team focus, rather than being just as suitable for both inside and outside sales.
Having said this, Close.io has important features and smart automations, a cleaner interface (easier for non-techs to use), and has very strong integrations using Zapier, plus SMS-based support.

Where Freshsales won for us is that it ended up being nearly half the cost of Close.io, as well as included telephony support for our local country (Australia), whereas Close.io comes with USA/Canada numbers and requires the top pricing tier to include calls to other countries. We needed a telephony system that worked well for making and receiving from Australia.

Freshsales won for us because their pricing is at a good point, had the telephony requirements we needed, and all the features that we required were good enough, or we found a workaround.

The best part of Freshsales CRM it's that is an all-in-one CRM for prospecting and sales teams. It has lead scoring, task, and pending messages management, bulk emails, sales campaigns, workflow for automatization of different things, just to name a few. In many of the CRMs, the problem is that you need to use more than one app to get all of this, or you need to pay extremely high prices for a small team/business plus the integrations with other automatization apps.
