Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable.""The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives.""Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap.""I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website.""One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."

"I have found the most valuable feature of the SAP CRM system is its ability to integrate with other modules. SAP CRM is all about integrating with other modules. For example, SuccessFactors is their learning management. This is one use case that SAP CRM themselves use. Their lead generation versus their sales from their educational services. You can instantly receive insight into how many leads have been generated and how much it turned into real business or revenue for them. I was told in one of the seminars that the data transfer from the lead generation to sales is only 24 hours in SAP CRM.""What I found most valuable in SAP CRM is its multitenancy, and you can use it from your website, SMS, and even social media, and it's all integrated, so my company is trying to leverage on all of those.""The user interface is excellent.""I have found the sales reporting feature specifically useful as it provides reporting and visualization which helps in decision-making. I use this to understand where to improve, which in-turn, helps generate sales.""The platform is highly scalable.""SAP CRM has a good performance.""The product integrates with third-party tools easily.""One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."

Cons
"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.""It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases.""The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture.""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 price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."

More Freshsales Cons →

"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot.""Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions.""SAP CRM could improve by being easier to use and customer-friendly.""In terms of visibility of the data, there's a very limited set that we have access to and sometimes it's very difficult and not user-friendly to analyze from front end to back end. It's the biggest challenge, even if I'm working with an organization where we've implemented SAP.""In the future, machine learning and artificial intelligence functionality need to be included.""There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems.""We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks.""As SAP CRM is still in its pilot version in my company, and my team is still experimenting on it, there's little room for exploration, but its setup is not as straightforward, so this could be an area for improvement."
