Product Details
What is Freshworks CRM?
Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales) is an all-in-one sales CRM software with features like built-in phone and email, lead scoring, visual sales pipeline, reports and dashboards, automations, and mobile apps, ensuring that sales reps do not have to juggle between multiple tools to get the job done. According to the vendor, Freshworks CRM is easy to use, and has an intuitive UI means translating to minimal on-boarding time for sales reps.
Freshworks CRM comes with auto-profile enrichment and activity tracking which helps sales reps get a 360-degree view of their leads. The vendor promises that the AI-based lead scoring feature helps sales reps understand and prioritize their leads better. Freshworks CRM also enables sales reps to get a more holistic view of their sales pipeline with the visual sales pipeline. The drag and drop UI makes it easy to move deals between stages and even mark them as won or lost. The visual sales reports and dashboards make it easy to accurately forecast your business. The sales campaigns feature in Freshworks CRM allows users to create, send, and track outbound email campaigns without having to rely on external software.
Editions of Freshworks CRM include the Sales Cloud, the Marketing Cloud, and the Customer-for-Life-Cloud. Expanded features include conversion optimization (with technology acquired with Zarget in 2017), which adds website heatmap & session replay functionality, funnel analysis, as well as A/B testing.

Freshworks CRM provides more user tools, whereas Zoho CRM is more of a database. Freshworks CRM is more interactive with reporting, task reminders, deal stage flow charts and more to keep clients better organized and moving through the sales process. Zoho CRM did not meet all of our companies needs.
It's Was Quite easy to implement accross the organization which was not the Case with Microsoft dynamics. It is used Much efficiently with the Mobile and Transparency among the different departments was Clear.
Freshworks CRM looks fresh (No pun intended) and feels 3 dimensional. Zoho CRM is good too, but I'd recommend Freshworks for its pricing and how customizable it is. You get immediate assistance from the Freshworks team and is just a click away. You also get faster response on emails as well...
We are a smaller company and simply were not seeing the value in what we were paying Salesforce. We needed a robust opportunity and lead management system that was affordable and [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] has provided us with that. We are now able to track leads, opportunities and funnels easily and quickly report on these to senior staff who rely on this information for their board meetings.
I haven't used HubSpot or Salesforce myself, but I compared the pricing and as you scale up both of those other services are overpriced compared to Freshsales. Once you get started with a CRM it's very difficult to switch, so I recommend starting with Freshsales so you can scale up with reasonable cost increases over time.
Price, special offers Support in our local place via partners Simplicity of use Flexible API and already done integrations with G Suite and Office 365 Between the users, they have chosen Freshsales as more easy to use.
Zoho CRM: very very slow and cumbersome to use Salesforce: It is a giant with a lot of features, but very complicated for an SMB HubSpot: Lacks lots of advanced features that Freshsales has
Freshsales stacks up almost at the same pricing and feature set but does fall short in 3rd party API integration as compared to several of the above listed software, but is still the only one available free of cost entirely if a small firm or a startup requires itself not to break the bank in the spending to improve their productivity.
Freshsales was better than all the above for us but tied with Zoho. Zoho won because of its countless add-on apps, not because of price. However, price-wise, it was better than all the rest for what you get with Freshsales. For us, the main benefit of Freshsales was comprehensiveness and ease of use.
Definitely, with Salesforce, you can obtain a lot more integrations, reports, customizations, but Freshsales can assure the control of your sales targets perfectly for one-third of the Salesforce price.
Freshsales is more cost-effective and easier to navigate than Salesforce. It also doesn’t punish you for growing from a startup to SME (Salesforce prices quadruple when you go into the next bracket of users). On top of this, the support from Freshsales is brilliant, and you can speak to someone on the phone at any time!
I think there isn't really a comparison. Freshsales was the clear winner when it came to choosing our CRM. From a cost to benefit ratio, it just wasn't an option to go with anything else. It is the most used application within our company. We do a Freshsales clean up every single day. But it is a great tool and I don't think anything else really stacks up against them.
Freshsales is a much better platform than Insighlty. It works better, has better features, it has a simpler user experience, it is more complete and it is suited for the same thing. Therefore, if you are looking for an outbound CRM you should take Freshsales.
Between Freshsales and Pipedrive I think is more about pricing than anything else. If you are starting, maybe you can go with the whole Freshworks Suite other than Pipedrive and other bunch of applications.
I think that the overall comparison of FS and SF is a debatable one as FS is still so much in its infancy and I would be excited to see where the upcoming generation releases of FS take this great start to what seems to be a product that is going to around for a very long time!
Freshsales had more features, especially the ability to do email campaigns, which was a key feature for me. That was a deal-breaker. Pipedrive had a nice UI and was easy to use, but it was mostly focused on pipeline management, so overall it lacked many of the features found in Freshsales.
