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

More Freshsales Cons →

"The integration should be more user-friendly.""Zoho CRM’s customer service can be a little difficult to reach sometimes.""Zoho could be more user friendly by improving the UI of the interface.""There are at least two big pieces. One is just the ability to reorganize the data and clean it up to eliminate duplicates and things like that. It is very manual at the moment. It only gives us certain fields that we can check on. Because of our particular database, it creates a problem. We deal with hospitals, and there are 50 hospitals. It is tough to figure out which one is which. Is it this one or the other one? So, trying to clean things up is very difficult. I'd like to have more ability to share data fields. The data is structured into different buckets, and I frequently have to create the same field in two different buckets. It would be nice if I could just do a view-only field in another bucket. In my contact bucket, I would like to be able to have just a view-only of the account information so that I don't need to enter it again, which is what I have to do currently.""Zoho CRM has a rule engine or a place where you can set certain rules. That's not evolved very much. They could improve this within the platform.""Some of our clients could not develop their requirements using the product.""Adding a new contract to the solution is quite complicated.""The solution can improve by having a policy that allows us to integrate with the cloud."
