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.
Salesflare
Chose Salesflare
Salesflare has BOTH the dedicated web platform and the integrated side-bar in my google inbox that acts intuitively to mine for contacts in my emails and linkedIN. Monday.com requires all manual input and though well laid out and has some fun pizzaz, is less helpful. Salesflare …
Chose Salesflare
The learning curve and ease of use are virtually non-existent, and the interface is straightforward. Other products we've tried or evaluated have been too complicated and customizable. It's easy to start using Salesflare right away. Salesflare can be thought of as a better …
Chose Salesflare
Much cheaper and has almost the same functionality, plus Salesflare has an integrated task section.
Chose Salesflare
You can think of Salesflare as a smarter Pipedrive. It rocks the same kind of intuitive user experience that is very low-barrier to get going with, but turns it up a notch when it comes handling, enriching and automating data. I've also find it more flexible to integrate with …
Chose Salesflare
Other products we've tried or evaluated have been too complex and/or been "too customizable" in that they do not offer an easy and intuitive path to enabling your sales team right out of the box.
Chose Salesflare
Salesflare does its own thing compared to the others I've tried. It's unique even though it shares many of the main features a CRM should have. Salesforce Lightning is amazing and feature-packed but can often get overwhelming depending on your use case. I never experience any …
Chose Salesflare
Pipedrive was another option but I chose Salesflare for the seamless integration into my regular everyday workflow as well as its ability to integrate with just about any app you can think of. It plays nice with all of my other apps and makes using a CRM actually fun. I love …

FreshsalesSalesflare
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.

Salesflare is recommendable for any business that runs a lean sales setup with a website for lead generation, empowered with maybe cold outreach and/or lead nurturing. Mostly so for small-to-medium sized businesses: they can save a ton of time/money generating more revenue with their human sales efforts, while Salesflare does the rest of the job.

Pros
  • Leads: organization, capture, integration
  • Sales: organization, intelligent data about metrics, forecast
  • APIs are very simple and stable to use, Zapier and 3ªpart integrations provided
  • User experience, almost no training is needed to use the solution, more over, a great app for iOS and Android
Read full review
  • Workflows are easy to create and very effective for bulk messaging.
  • I like the email templates that I can set up and re-use - very convenient!
  • The phone app is good - I can access a contact right from my phone and call them. When I make a call, it automatically opens a note for me to create a time-stamped record of the call.
  • I also like that fact that I can add customized contact and account fields. This is a big help in allowing me to do pretty precise "sorts".

Cons
  • Persistent and pervasive down time
  • Lack of scalable integrations with data source (e.g., their Segment integration is barely functional and they won't improve it)
  • Slow and unhelpful customer service
  • Account management doesn't understand our business or what we're trying to accomplish
  • Email campaign feature is barely functional and only allows you to have 10 campaigns, even with the most expensive plan
  • Lead and contact records have gone missing and FreshSales is unable to recover data
Read full review
  • Salesflare automatically captures and organises data about leads so it can effectively surface the ones that require your attention. It also provides you with the tools to do just that. What it doesn't cover as much right now is feeding top of the funnel: I would for example happily pay extra to have a website visitor identification functionality into the mix.

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
Read full review
The pipeline, which is the core of the platform, is very clear and full of features. On top of that Salesflare added automations, integrations, plugins and emails. You can easily get your leads there from any platform and nurture your leads until you get the deal done. I think any business can benefit from using this sales CRM.

Support Rating
When you initially log in to Freshworks, you get snippets to guide you on how to set up. You have a chat option on every page so you can reach out to the support agent and get your issues resolved in real time. The agents are fast, responsive, and experienced in handling even a person who introduced CRM to the world...
Read full review
Hit them on Chat support, and you are gonna get a response within a few minutes (if not in a few hours, during weekends) But they are gonna keep following with you till they make sure that your query has been resolved. Keep it up!

Alternatives Considered
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.

The learning curve and ease of use are virtually non-existent, and the interface is straightforward. Other products we've tried or evaluated have been too complicated and customizable. It's easy to start using Salesflare right away. Salesflare can be thought of as a better Pipedrive. With the same easy-to-use, low-barrier approach to getting started, it ups the ante when dealing with data, enriching and automating it.

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.
Read full review
  • I save dozens of hours each month managing new clients and leads, Salesflare easily pays for itself each month
  • Between the great mobile app and integration with Gsuite, Salesflare is the perfect CRM for the mobile user. I no longer feel chained to a desktop to manage my leads.
  • I used to have a Love-Hate relationship with CRMs but now actually enjoy using a CRM since using Salesflare and feel like I actually realize the value of using a CRM.
