Pros

"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive.""It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model.""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 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 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 notifications features in Pipedrive are the most useful for tracking sales activities.""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."

Cons
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality.""The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports.""The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture.""It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases.""We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."

More Freshsales 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.""The automation process is challenging.""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.""In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer.""Pipedrive could be more efficient. I want the management to be more transparent so it's easier to monitor the sales team's activities and results and do business forecasting. It would help them to improve the quality of the sales cycle.""The platform could be even more robust.""I don't like the solution's pricing model per user."
