Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Freshsales is easy to set up and onboarding was seamless. Its AI chatbot also helps to bring leads. It can be integrated into different email marketing programs. You can communicate with potential leads directly using email and chat. Easy to visualize sales pipeline.
  • Freshsales is a helpful tool to increment sales and have a direct tool to track communication with current clients, as well as attracting more clients through many strategies that the software studies and analyzes with its amazing technology. I am able to analyze all prospects and interact with them in different ways, through the website, through social media, and find out quick information about the client, knowing how they interact with our website, what do they find more interesting and what were they confused about when visiting our site, if this is a potential lead and more interesting things that this software allows me to analyze through their backed-up technology. It is very easy to track visitors and understand the context in which each individual is visiting, and based on that, proceed with the right strategy to turn the lead into an actual client. The process of converting prospects into actual active clients of our business is hugely shortened thanks to the automation that Freshsales provides, the sales sequences are automatically made easier by providing a great timeline of all the stages of the sale process, and having the ability to sort out the contacts based on the quality of them based on interactions to ensure that we finish a sale in a successful manner. It also allows us to organize contact information in order to facilitate the communication between different channels, and it enables multi-channel communication once the information has been submitted, making this part of the sales funnel more automated and great to work with as it becomes more agile. Its artificial intelligence system is like no other, allowing us to have a sort of virtual assistance that is always there to support us throughout all the process, giving us suggestions and studying data when we do not have time to, it analyzes everything in-depth and helps us make the right choice, and choose whether a the sales process of a potential customer will be successful based on data from the past, giving us a potential answer to the final result of the process, and it has been very insightful at providing us with thoughtful answers that we highly appreciate in order to make a final decision on how to proceed or improve our strategies. It not only has helped us in that aspect, but it constantly does many of the tasks that we considered were manual, but now the assistance of the AI does things like maintaining accurate data and maintaining data up to date, deleting duplicates or wrong information and it updates us constantly about our contacts, providing us helpful insight on when are the right times to communicate with each contact based on its detections.
  • The Freshsales platform makes my job very easy. It allows me to connect with leads and attract potential clients. Its user interface is very refreshing and easy to understand. Its automation and analytics features I liked the best. It gives every aspect of data to analyze performance.
  • The UI is very well designed. Works well for basic and important stuff, like creating leads, converting to companies/contacts, adding deals, tracking deal progress. Webforms work well. Pages are very flexible and easy to customize.
  • I like this app, everything is clear in it, user-friendly interface and responsive support. I highly recommend it.

Cons

  • I had a very smooth experience with this product. No cons.
  • I have had a difficult time every time I need to reach out to support about the function of tools or a bug happening that will affect my work, I have contacted support a couple of times through their support chat but it does take a long time for a person to actually reach out to you to take your case and solve it, the customer support lacks persistence and organization when it comes to solving customers’ doubts quickly or even in a moderate amount of time, and I feel like even though there is an attempt, they still have not solved this issue fully. I also find the software to be quite pricey, it certainly is a lot compared to other alternatives that we considered when looking for a CRM software, I feel like this is not a very accessible software to many businesses.
  • The contact import process is not seamless. Take some extra time to import.
  • The company seems to focus on all these fancy things like mobile apps, bots, chat, etc without doing the easy stuff. Like there is no good integration with a 3rd party IP phone service. You have to use Freshcaller - which is terrible. There is no easy way to merge companies or leads. You have to click an multiple tabs and filters to get a decent task list. And the integration with its own product Freshdesk is poor. You would think that you would be able to share records btw Freshsales and Freshdesk - but you cannot. They also have two versions of Freshsales - classic version and Freshsales CRM, We were left behind on Freshdesk Classic and no body told us.
  • I don't see any disadvantages, because for such a price both support and the application itself with a user-friendly interface.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to Use and Effective Makes Customer Tracking Easy Clean, User-Friendly CRM Simple, Intuitive, and Reliable
  • One of the standout features of Nutshell CRM is its user-friendly interface. The clean, intuitive design makes it incredibly easy for team members to navigate and get up to speed quickly, even if they're not particularly tech-savvy. This simplicity doesn't sacrifice functionality, as the CRM also offers comprehensive reporting and analytics. With customizable reports and a dynamic dashboard, Nutshell provides valuable insights into sales performance, lead generation, and customer interactions. This combination of ease-of-use and powerful reporting tools makes it an ideal solution for teams looking to streamline their workflows while gaining actionable business insights.
  • Nutshell is easy to adopt and intuitive for sales teams, which leads to higher usage and better data quality. Pipelines and fields are flexible enough to reflect real sales processes without overcomplication. Visibility into deals, activities, and follow-ups is clear, making it easier for managers to coach and forecast effectively.
  • Nutshell is a user-friendly CRM that works well for managing contacts and sales activity. It’s intuitive and keeps our pipeline organized. Some advanced features may require setup and customization, but overall it’s a dependable tool.
  • Ease of use Ability to group contacts together based on location Tracking leads and contacts Frequent updates

Cons

  • Some features take a little time to fully learn but not difficult at all
  • While Nutshell offers a lot of great features, there are a few areas that could be improved. Some users may find the lack of advanced customization options in certain areas, like the user interface or reporting templates, a bit limiting. Additionally, while it integrates with many tools, it doesn't support as wide a range of integrations as some other CRMs, which could be a drawback for teams using more niche software.
  • Advanced reporting and automation are more limited compared to larger enterprise CRMs, and highly complex workflows may require workarounds. Teams looking for deep native marketing automation or heavy customization at the enterprise level may find Nutshell intentionally streamlined rather than exhaustive.
  • There are too many features and settings and it can get very confusing.
  • Sometimes buggy. Pages can freeze up but resolves itself with page refresh.
