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.

Featured Reviews

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.
Yevhen Yukhno - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at B-OS, Unipessoal Lda.
BPM workflows have accelerated decisions but complex projects still need better support and pricing
The biggest benefit of using Creatio for my company is the very fast start, but it is a solution aimed at middle and big companies since the minimal price for a license is $10,000 plus some costs for integration. It is not a budget solution for many companies, but it is very powerful and a very fast tracking solution. It is a SaaS solution, and all negatives apply to all SaaS products. It is a problem for clients because if I want to organize a big project, I have some problems with the Creatio environment for testing and development, leading to expensive DevOps operations to synchronize many environments. It is not very well, but I do not know how it can improve.
