Vivek_Kumar@ - PeerSpot reviewer
Zoho Developer at KG CRM Solutions LLP - Zoho Authorized Partner
Has supported lead and deal tracking for small businesses but lacks deeper customization options
The pipeline management has helped to streamline the sales processes in that I can develop the business pattern where we can send automated emails and automated calls at different stages. For example, when a lead enters a system, we can automatically generate welcome emails. Once any modification in the lead is done, such as when it's qualified, we can send them qualified emails or acknowledgment emails based on the business pipeline. This user-friendly interface has helped my customers adapt quicker to Bigin by Zoho CRM as, after customization or completion of the project, I will make a Loom video to train the clients through the sessions, and through the Loom videos and SOPs, they can adapt easily to Bigin by Zoho CRM. They can also adapt to all the applications.

Lead management has boosted sales and automations save time in loan origination workflows
LeadSquared offers many features based on the selected pricing, whether it is a standard or premium option, allowing users to capture and manage all leads, categorize them into different segments, and ensure no lead goes unnoticed. LeadSquared helps me categorize leads by capturing them from social media or other platforms. When a lead is captured, the sales team gets in touch with the person who made the inquiry, and when they receive updates via phone call or email, they can update the lead's status automatically through automation. LeadSquared is currently working on many features including auto WhatsApp messages, chatbot messages, and reporting functionalities, integrating AI for custom reports, and allowing users to master the data and put it into tables.
