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.

There's definitely room for process improvement in SAP Service Cloud. In my opinion, what can be better in SAP Service Cloud includes having the data center existence properly implemented. Not all cloud solutions are present in data centers. While we evaluate the product, we have to check the existence of the product in all nearest data centers. For example, while I check the data center through the Trust Center on SAP's website, I found that most cloud solutions are installed in Riyadh, but they are missing some very important tools such as LeanIX, which is not existent in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce solutions are also missing, and some aspects of C4C, such as Customer Data Cloud, are not present in many data centers. Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa. They evaluate demand before installation, but having all solutions in the center point could encourage sales cycles.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most useful thing is the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting."
"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 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 embedded AI inside SAP, called Business AI, impacts decision-making and resolution times significantly, working as a smart conversational chat in Joule to create dashboards and compare historical data with sales forecasts."
 

Cons

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce."
"The platform could be even more robust."
"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."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"Reporting capabilities of the solution could be improved."
"Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is affordable."
