Soumi Ganguly - PeerSpot reviewer

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.

Integrates well with master data but user experience and integration need improvement
Predictive Analytics in SAP Marketing Cloud is effective, but it requires two essential elements. The data should be correct and sufficient enough to run Predictive Analytics, and the right algorithms need to be included in the marketing decision-making process. In Predictive Analytics, certain algorithms can be used, but it has limited use because it does not cater to the complete business needs of the client. The solution is easy to customize, but it requires having the right data model attached to the dashboard. If the data model is correct, the data on the dashboard can be manipulated very easily. However, if the data model is incorrect and does not bring in the right elements of KPIs and dashboards, upgrading the data model becomes a challenging exercise. SAP's user interface from a user story point of view rates six to seven out of ten. The user experience could be improved, but in terms of flexibility, it functions adequately when data is available. Without available data, none of the dashboards can function.
