  • Sales sequences
  • Importing contacts and accounts
  • calendar sync
  • Deal module to easily navigate
  • The interface itself can be made easier for some people especially who are not tech-savy
  • After importing, you could make the errored file viewable in the interface itself instead of an email
  • Had to reach support to know where to upload files related to a contact the first time

  • Sales sequencing.
  • Customizable forms and data input.
  • I'd like the system to auto detect spacing after integers, so that when they are incorporated into a sales sequence, there's not an odd space after the placeholders.

  • Importing Leads
  • Allowing multiple pipelines
  • Sharing reports and dashboards with others
  • 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

Overall Great CRM

  • 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.
  • Their tech support is pretty bad. I think I get a helpful answer maybe 20-30% of the time. I wish they would actually think about the problem and try to find a solution instead of sending a scripted or another completely unhelpful answer.

  • Leads: organization, capture, integration
  • Sales: organization, intelligent data about metrics, forecast
  • APIs are very simple and stable to use, Zapier and 3ªpart integrations provided
  • User experience, almost no training is needed to use the solution, more over, a great app for iOS and Android
  • Could be improved in contract management (CML)
  • Could be improved for sales with proposal generator
  • Better visual composer for lead history board

  • Great entry point for starting small and medium businesses.
  • Easy to use UI.
  • Free plan availability is the biggest pro.
  • Excellent pricing across paid models ranging from $12 to $80 and services provided therein suffice all the requirements.
  • Data analysis for large datasets is a bit tedious.
  • Checking spelling in mails is a little flawed.
  • Does not offer as many 3rd party integrations as its competitors.

  • Separate leads from contacts - this ensures you build good pipelines.
  • Allows you to email marketing campaigns so you can do everything through one system.
  • The email limit is small - only 500 per user. This makes it challenging to run big campaigns.
  • It brings into the CRM any contact that is emailing your email address that is linked to the account.

  • Freshsales is great for gathering and organizing detailed information of leads and contacts.
  • The software integrates well with other cloud applications.
  • The software is scalable.
  • Freshsales could do better if they made the focus more general rather then for software companies.
  • Expand the integrations to other software.
  • Continue to improve reporting.

  • Freshsales does predictive strength of a lead thing very well. By assigning each lead a score to how many times and in what ways they have been contacted I am able to see at one glance how hot or cold a lead is and where they are at in their buying process
  • Fresh sales offers an on board dialer that is an effective tool to be able to do out bound dialing and to use as a way for your clients to get a hold of you!
  • I really like how Freshsales comes at database management and how relational every aspect of the overall database it is.
  • I think if the outbound phone tool was a true predictive dialer and allowed me to load a list of numbers and just tell it to go by hitting a button that would make my job easier.
  • I wish that Freshsales was a little bit more intuitive with some aspects of their GUI.
  • I think that Freshsales could use a lesson from the likes of Five9 or Call Fire when it comes to the types of reporting that it can execute.

  • It has a comprehensive set of tools and gives me options for how I interact with prospects and clients.
  • It syncs both ways with email, which is a big timesaver.
  • It is easy to set up, and support has been very helpful.
  • If anything, there may be too many options. I love the features but sometimes it can be a challenge to work quickly.
  • I would like to see more flexibility in what fields I choose to use at the contact and lead level.
  • I would like to see more room to add research and notes on accounts. But it works well in the current version.

  • Monitoring emails. I have a great need to understand the lead activity in order to make the next and most appropriate move.
  • Running automated email campaigns. I can set some rules and Freshsales will send a bulk/targetted communication. This saves me time, effort and more importantly allows me to reach leads at the right time.
  • Managing leads and prioritizing leads. Setting a lead score helps me allot my time more productively.
  • The mobile app could be better.
  • Very rarely email templates freeze but they do recover quickly.
