I would rate it around ten out of ten for scalability.

Room For Improvement

Freshdesk Omni needs improvements in automation, API limits, customization, mobile usability, integrations, pricing, AI precision, and reporting efficiency.
Freshsales needs better reporting, customization, support, and user-friendliness, with improvements in pricing, email features, and data management.
The new person coming in would find it much easier to read and understand the client behavior, where the client is in their journey, what the client's vision is, and how the previous product or project manager has interacted with the client.
Sr. Customer Success Manager - Project Delivery at Kazam
Setting up Freshdesk Omni with Dialpad and Amazon Connect requires multiple configurations, API integrations, and permissions that may be difficult for non-technical users.
Software Engineer at Deloitte
It would be better if you increased the API rate limit so that customers do not need to raise support requests to resolve this issue.
Solutions Architect at Locuz Enterprise Solutions Ltd
It takes at least a month or 45 days to set this up, process it properly, and check whether the automations and workflows are working.
Vertical Head - Ai talent Solutions at a government with 11-50 employees
Practical navigation for non-technical users could be enhanced, particularly regarding technical issues such as web form connections, which would benefit from immediate access to technical assistance.
Business Development Manager at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
The support provided by the service team or fresh service team and the customer team of the company is very poor.
Solutions Architect at Locuz Enterprise Solutions Ltd
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Freshdesk Omni's subscription pricing fair but sometimes expensive for basic features, with potential setup discounts.
Freshsales provides flexible and affordable pricing with scalable options, offering cost-effective solutions compared to competitors, despite potential add-on costs.
We received a 20% discount because we were able to book a demo and talk to engineers.
DevOps Engineer at ZuriChat
Having the basic version and paying 50,000 to 70,000 rupees, I feel it is way too much for just a basic version.

The setup cost is very affordable.
Founder at AppNomu SalesQ
the Indian team was clear in their communication and offered good discount packages, along with a pre-onboarding call that provided valuable insights into using the software.

The setup cost is very good and within the budget.
Associate Technology Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

Freshdesk Omni enhances efficiency and productivity with AI, customization, integrations, and omnichannel communication, leading to cost reductions.
Freshsales provides automated workflows, AI insights, customizable CRM, and integrations, suiting diverse businesses with 24/7 support and scalability.
Freshdesk Omni has positively impacted my organization by automating processes, resulting in significant cost savings.
Customer service manager at Insight Global
Freshdesk Omni has positively impacted our organization by helping us reduce operational costs, such as through automating tasks, and we have been able to reduce our operational cost from 30 to 55%.
Software Engineer at Deloitte
The chatbot feature is also essential. Most of my customers want to implement chatbot features on their applications or websites so their end users can raise tickets through chat resources directly from the website instead of writing emails to the support desk, which then get converted into tickets.
Solutions Architect at Locuz Enterprise Solutions Ltd
The Sales Sequence feature significantly helps my workflow by enabling an account manager to contact a large list of customers quickly and efficiently, sending out emails with minimal manual effort, while also providing critical statistics about email engagement, which aids in improving outreach strategies.
Business Development Manager at a consultancy with 1-10 employees
In a massive sales campaign, once it is sent, the next level of engagement can be tracked based on email tracking, such as how many were received or if they were opened multiple times.
Operations Manager at Cognitive Global
The Freddy AI feature in Freshsales helps me generate the email content easily, and there are also many built-in templates available.
Product Marketing Manager at Samsung

Featured Reviews

Apeksha Ghatge - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr. Customer Success Manager - Project Delivery at Kazam
Automated ticket workflows have improved collaboration but pricing and AI features still need work
I believe there are many subtasks and sub-tickets which could be implemented in Freshdesk Omni. However, I would say not every aspect of the CRM should be limited, because the more subtasks or sub-modules which are created, it becomes a lengthy process again. A person who has recently joined would need to read the whole history and chat, which is again a waste of time. If Freshdesk Omni could integrate AI to summarize the whole picture of what has been done, what the status is, and what the previous problem was, it would be beneficial. If it could summarize in a good paragraph, it would be easier for everyone who has recently joined, or if the client has changed, or if the project manager for that particular client has changed. The new person coming in would find it much easier to read and understand the client behavior, where the client is in their journey, what the client's vision is, and how the previous product or project manager has interacted with the client. That would make it much easier in that case.
Sumesh Gansar - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Marketing Manager at Samsung
Centralized CRM has given me a 360-degree view and helps me run smarter, AI-driven sales campaigns
One thing that Freshsales can improve is making it much easier because it is not quite easy for everybody to get a grasp of the entire CRM software. It is quite vast and quite complex. Perhaps more knowledge-based documents can be introduced. Apart from that, I do not have any major complaints. The integration in Freshsales is quite good because it is easily integratable with many other Freshworks software as well as with third-party solutions. The integration is quite good. Perhaps in the reporting feature, it takes some time to process the reports due to the amount of data that it handles. Apart from that, I do not have any major complaints with Freshsales so far.
