Willem Lambrechts - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Connecting directly with sales tools facilitates seamless outreach and messaging
Being able to set up the cadences in steps is very helpful, where it moves on to the next step, and also where it connects with SalesLoft Sales Navigator. So far, being able to connect directly, instead of switching back and forth to Sales Navigator, has worked well. Also, being able to send messages directly from SalesLoft through LinkedIn Sales Navigator messaging is very useful. I can do everything right from the SalesLoft page without continuously switching between SalesLoft and Sales Navigator.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Pipedrive's most valuable feature is reporting and insights. The CRM shows the database and lets the salespeople arrange their daily activities. The insights are essential from a management point of view because it helps the sales staff improve or adjust their whole sales cycle, activities, and quality."
"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."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"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."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"It is a stable platform."
"SalesLoft's customer support has been really good."
 

Cons

"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."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"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 platform could be even more robust."
"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."
"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."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"Navigating through emails and LinkedIn messages to find which ones have been opened could be improved. I can see email open rates, but identifying who actually opened them is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"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."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
