Kauhslendra  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Greg-Lythe - PeerSpot reviewer
A feature-rich platform that helps to track sales and gather customer information
My age-old complaint with Salesforce Sales Cloud is that it has to be refreshed because it's a cloud-based system. If you make any updates, you have to refresh and save because you're fundamentally looking at what's running in the cloud. It can be slow since you constantly refresh and save the screen. If you were running a local application, like a local CRM system, as you input anything, it would be more seamless. It's like using Excel—you don't have to save every single time you enter new details into a cell because it knows it's a local copy. With a cloud-based system like the tool, changing requires refreshing and saving, which can be tedious.
