Featured Reviews

Kauhslendra  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Business Development Manager at Drishti IAs
Has an easy-to-understand user interface
We started using LeadSquared's basic functions. Currently, we are using the solution's features, such as automation, reports, automated emails, and marketing sections, which have increased our efficiency. LeadSquared has helped streamline our marketing campaigns. We initially didn't have marketing strategies or a platform with landing pages, but this changed after we started using LeadSquared. LeadSquared is a SaaS based solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Willem Lambrechts - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing Director at Drebbel
Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of LeadSquared is an easy-to-understand user interface."
"LeadSquared's most valuable features are it comes equips with all the basic features of a CRM. It integrates well with our existing systems and is user-friendly."
"The solution is very stable."
"It is a stable platform."
"The biggest and the best feature is the view that you get when you log in. You have a board like Kanban when you log in, and you've got a column on the left and several other columns that move to the right, depending on where you are in a particular deal. If it's a prospect or someone who is just looking, you move it along the process, and it really helps you keep track of where you are."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"Pipedrive makes it easy to understand who I'm talking to at a glance. It has all the activities, node features, opportunity interface, deal interface, and time drive deals.The sales process is extremely simple, which saves me time and energy. I can send the document for e-signature and make the most out of my deals. I can automatically send emails and phone calls. You need to do only a little API programming. It offers massive flexibility. You can run an entire enterprise on the platform. The ease of use facilitates huge adoption."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"The most useful stuff for me is that it's very flexible with all the data structures...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
 

Cons

"The solution can get quite expensive, especially as you add more users."
"The solution's report section is not very capable and could be improved."
"The solution’s UI could be more user-friendly."
"The notifications and workflow management can be improved in LeadSquared."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
"The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings...Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email."
"The integration possibilities with other systems could be better as well. We use it in connection with Octopus CRM, and there's room for improvement."
"The automation process is challenging."
"We are using the lowest version of it. As we become more sophisticated, we might outgrow the tool, but there are features that are available in the higher-level versions, which I'm unfamiliar with, that might be able to meet the needs we would have in the future. They can maybe add some of the features to the basic version or make it more reasonably priced or free."
"The platform could be even more robust."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LeadSquared is not as costly as other CRM solutions."
"The license is paid yearly, and it is about 30 euros per month per user."

"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."

"The solution is affordable."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
