Considered Both Products
Freshsales
Chose Freshsales
There is a bit of learning curve required for SugarCRM and Microsoft Dynamics.
Also, admin activities are not easy to navigate and understood, wherein it is very simplified, easy to learn in the case of Freshsales.
Chose Freshsales
Freshworks CRM provides more user tools, whereas Zoho CRM is more of a database. Freshworks CRM is more interactive with reporting, task reminders, deal stage flow charts and more to keep clients better organized and moving through the sales process. Zoho CRM did not meet all …
Chose Freshsales
It's Was Quite easy to implement accross the organization which was not the Case with Microsoft dynamics.
It is used Much efficiently with the Mobile and Transparency among the different departments was Clear.
Chose Freshsales
Freshworks CRM looks fresh (No pun intended) and feels 3 dimensional. Zoho CRM is good too, but I'd recommend Freshworks for its pricing and how customizable it is. You get immediate assistance from the Freshworks team and is just a click away. You also get faster response on …
Chose Freshsales
What sold me was the ability to integrated the sales engagement with the CRM to have everything in one place.
Chose Freshsales
We are a smaller company and simply were not seeing the value in what we were paying Salesforce. We needed a robust opportunity and lead management system that was affordable and [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] has provided us with that. We are now able to track leads, …
Chose Freshsales
I haven't used Hubspot or Salesforce myself, but I compared the pricing and as you scale up both of those other services are overpriced compared to Freshsales. Once you get started with a CRM it's very difficult to switch, so I recommend starting with Freshsales so you can …
Chose Freshsales
For what we needed, Microsoft's product wasn't even close. Terribly expensive, difficult to set up and maintain.
Chose Freshsales
Price, special offers
Support in our local place via partners
Simplicity of use
Chose Freshsales
Zoho CRM: very very slow and cumbersome to use
Salesforce: It is a giant with a lot of features, but very complicated for an SMB
HubSpot: Lacks lots of advanced features that Freshsales has
Chose Freshsales
Freshsales stacks up almost at the same pricing and feature set but does fall short in 3rd party API integration as compared to several of the above listed software, but is still the only one available free of cost entirely if a small firm or a startup requires itself not to …
Chose Freshsales
Freshsales was better than all the above for us but tied with Zoho. Zoho won because of its countless add-on apps, not because of price. However, price-wise, it was better than all the rest for what you get with Freshsales. For us, the main benefit of Freshsales was …
Chose Freshsales
Definitely, with Salesforce, you can obtain a lot more integrations, reports, customizations, but Freshsales can assure the control of your sales targets perfectly for one-third of the SalesForce price.
Chose Freshsales
Freshsales is more cost-effective and easier to navigate than salesforce. It also doesn’t punish you for growing from a startup to SME (salesforce prices quadruple when you go into the next bracket of users). On top of this, the support from Freshsales is brilliant, and you can …
Chose Freshsales
I think there isn't really a comparison. Freshsales was the clear winner when it came to choosing our CRM. From a cost to benefit ratio, it just wasn't an option to go with anything else. It is the most used application within our company. We do a Freshsales clean up every …
Chose Freshsales
Freshsales had more features, especially the ability to do email campaigns, which was a key feature for me. That was a deal-breaker. Pipedrive had a nice UI and was easy to use, but it was mostly focused on pipeline management, so overall it lacked many of the features found in …
Chose Freshsales
I haven't used other products. We are currently very happy with FreshSales.
Chose Freshsales
It's definitely a good platform for companies with a manageable sales team size.
Chose Freshsales
We chose Freshsales for the Email campaign and tracking feature, the ease of product managing, and pricing.
Chose Freshsales
Freshsales is easier to use and cheaper.
Linked Helper
Chose Linked Helper
An excellent price-to-quality ratio, complemented by swift and supportive customer service.

FreshsalesLinked Helper
Likelihood to Recommend
Generally speaking for small to mid sized team I really cannot recommend it enough. It has an excellent feature set, good amount of integrations, fairly customisable and backed by solid support. And the pricing is very competitive too. I feel like if your team is larger than that, you might want to look at other alternatives but for teams that size, its really perfect.

Cons
  • Persistent and pervasive down time

  • Slow and unhelpful customer service
  • Account management doesn't understand our business or what we're trying to accomplish

Read full review
  • Have better pre settings that will not
  • You will lose your LinkedIn bc LinkedIn considers it cheating on their platform
  • LinkedIn says you are not supposed to use this so use and lose your LinkedIn.

Usability
I would give Freshworks CRM's overall usability a 7 out of 10. Although the software has improved since we first obtained it, it still could use improvements to make functionality more intuitive and easier for the average user. It is not that challenging but there is definitely a learning curve

We are a smaller company and simply were not seeing the value in what we were paying Salesforce. We needed a robust opportunity and lead management system that was affordable and [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] has provided us with that. We are now able to track leads, opportunities and funnels easily and quickly report on these to senior staff who rely on this information for their board meetings.

Return on Investment
  • Freshsales has definitely had a positive impact on our sales. It's difficult to nail down the ROI it has generated, but it's well worth the cost.
  • The savings is mostly in time spent on lead and client follow up, so we can handle more leads and projects with a smaller team.
