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.

Pros

"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."

"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"Email integration is easy."
"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"It has allowed our small team of five to deliver more projects on time and with quality as well as instill trust with clients that their projects do not fall through the cracks."
"The board customization is an incredibly valuable feature."

Cons

"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"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."

"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
"We need the product to keep adding automation - specifically more subitem automation."
"The tool is beneficial for some businesses yet prohibitively expensive for others."
"The Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs improvement."

"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."
"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."
"The product is not expensive."
"The pricing is totally fair. I don't have any issues with it."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
"Fees are paid monthly per user."
"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 project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
