Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."
"Email integration is easy."
"I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
"With multiple team members working on multiple fast-moving briefs, tasks, and projects - often remotely and in different timezones - Monday.com has become our reliable source of truth to oversee and manage everything that's going on."
"Monday.com has made it much easier to keep track of a wide range of tasks whilst we have a team distributed over multiple countries and timezones."
"When you have a tool that anybody can use from all devices, it spares some time so that you could do and handle way more things."
"The features I found most valuable are the Kanban boards."
"The time savings alone is worth every penny and man-hour it took settings up the business profile."
"Items and boards are ideal as they help in keeping everything in a single location without any confusion."
"Monday.com has allowed us to organize our workload in a much more efficient way."
 

Cons

"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"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."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."
"A more personalized dashboard displaying each account's unfinished assignments would be helpful."
"I'd love it if there was an instant messenger built into the product so I could talk with other teammates live in-product, as opposed to needing another solution like Slack, Google for chat, or Signal."
"It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."
"The data linkage could be improved. For example, sometimes you cannot automate item creation when you link different items to each other. You cannot connect the data deeply from field to field. It's somewhat complicated to link a contact to some account fields and automate the contact's behavior based on the value of those fields. The data is sometimes not structured enough for deep processing."
"The addition of subtasks was really great. It helps reduce a lot of the clutter on our boards. However, sometimes it is inhibitive to use them as the features available using main tasks don't apply to subtasks."
"I'd like better CRM integrations."
"It would be quite cool if it could connect to my Outlook calendar and put the project deadlines in there."
"I would like to see is to have a brief explanation of what a certain function does."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is not that expensive."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"The basic price is affordable. The add ons are expensive."
"Freshsales is an economical product."
"The price for this solution is good in general, but in Brazil we do pay additional taxes."
"I am using the tool's free version."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"Though I am unsure about the product's pricing plan, there is a need to make monthly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, and it operates on a per-user plan."
"The price is reasonable for the number of users we have."
"The product is not expensive."
