Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.7
LeadSquared improved ROI by automating campaigns, increasing conversions, shortening B2B times, enhancing productivity, and reducing costs.
Sentiment score
6.6
Sales and revenue increased; operational efficiency justifies costs, but Salesforce suits large organizations more than smaller ones long-term.
We do not need to manually update tasks since automations are configured to trigger and update the status automatically when specific conditions are met, thus saving both time and money on configurations.

Room For Improvement

Users recommend improving LeadSquared's interface, reporting, automation, AI capabilities, integrations, support, dashboards, and enhancing AI-driven insights.
SAP CRM requires UI enhancements, better integration, real-time analytics, increased flexibility, and modern tech adoption for future growth.
Deeper AI-driven recommendations such as lead conversion predictions, risk identification, and next-best-action suggestions could help the sales team prioritize opportunities more effectively.
Senior Project Manager at Epicor Software
If LeadSquared had an inbuilt third-party integration such as Ameyo or Exotel for calling, or if LeadSquared improved the calling mechanism within the platform itself instead of relying on a third party, that would be an improvement.
Senior Manager Analytics at Infoedge
Governance is one of its strengths, especially for regulated industries.
Technical Project Manager at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees
I am happy with SAP CRM because whenever we have requirements for changes or customization as per our needs, we get them, and the downtime is minimal.

Setup Cost

LeadSquared offers competitive pricing with significant ROI, ideal for B2C, B2B, and SMBs, though less suited for large enterprises.
SAP CRM is costly, targeting large enterprises, with high setup costs but competitive features; price cuts could increase appeal.

Valuable Features

LeadSquared enhances efficiency with automation, customization, and integration, offering real-time insights, streamlined workflows, and improved lead management.
SAP CRM provides customizable reporting, seamless ERP integration, real-time data, enhancing customer management and improving business processes globally.

Associate Technology Consultant at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Previously, the sales lead conversion rate was about 3,000 to 4,000 monthly, but now it has increased to 5,000, 6,000, or even 7,000 monthly conversion rates, significantly boosting our sales.
CRM Expert
Lead scoring and prioritization stand out because they automatically score leads based on engagement and behavior, helping the sales team focus on conversion-ready prospects.
Senior Project Manager at Epicor Software
If there is any error in our machine, a log is automatically generated, and from SAP CRM, we can see that the machine has problems.

Featured Reviews

Soumi Ganguly - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Project Manager at Epicor Software
Automation has strengthened lead hygiene and reporting and drives faster sales conversions
One area for further enhancement is advanced analytics and predictive insights. While the platform provides robust reporting, deeper AI-driven recommendations such as lead conversion predictions, risk identification, and next-best-action suggestions could help the sales team prioritize opportunities more effectively. Improving user experience is another area; as organizations scale and workflows become more complex, simplifying configuration and creating more customizable dashboards could enhance adoption across business users. Additionally, expanding native integrations and reducing reliance on custom configurations for certain enterprise systems could streamline implementation further. Regarding support, I feel it should be more proactive, with spontaneous responses. Whenever I raised queries, I experienced longer wait times and had to wait for proper responses that were sometimes passed between multiple people. I believe when I ask a question, it should be assigned to the right person at the right time to reduce time consumption on both ends. LeadSquared automates many sales and marketing processes effectively, and there is an opportunity to strengthen its AI capabilities in areas such as predictive lead scoring, conversion forecasting, and next-best-action recommendations. AI-powered conversion analysis from calls, emails, and WhatsApp interactions could help identify customer intent, sentiments, and common objections, providing valuable insights for both the team and managers. For compliance and governance, a proper API should be created and integration should be structured to prevent lead leakage and data manipulation, which needs to be addressed by LeadSquared. I have noticed that it often does not provide accurate data and relies more on human intervention. When AI is integrated into any kind of software, it is expected to deliver the right outcomes and analyses. However, I have seen many cases where it provides only sixty-five to seventy percent accuracy, which I believe can be significantly improved.

Customization and automation drive effective user training and insights sharing
Recently, the price of SAP CRM has increased, which is one concern. Another issue is that sometimes we experience slow performance. Reports in SAP CRM itself can become very slow. Other than that, it is a very good CRM system. I am happy with SAP CRM because whenever we have requirements for changes or customization as per our needs, we get them, and the downtime is minimal. We are getting very good support from the incident team and the in-house support team who are responsible for customization. Some customer centers have moved to Salesforce, but I don't have any experience with Salesforce to make a comparison.
