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.

Collaborative approvals have streamlined social content planning but interface design needs improvement
I think the best features Khoros Social Media Management offers are the publishing approvals and that all the team can collaborate on this platform, and also the calendar reviews, so we can see what is going to be published, what is next, what has been published, etc. Publishing approvals feature is definitely helping to streamline the workflow, and I think this is one of the key features of this platform. Calendar reviews were helpful for planning. Khoros Social Media Management impacts my organization positively by improving efficiency due to the approvals and the coordination of teamwork. I think it was good that there is a feature of multi-team collaboration, and in this way, we could collaborate with and approve things much more easily.

Cons

"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."

"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved."
"However, the support provided by the service team or fresh service team and the customer team of the company is very poor."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Freshsales is an economical product."
"The basic price is affordable. The add ons are expensive."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"The tool is not that expensive."
"The price for this solution is good in general, but in Brazil we do pay additional taxes."
