You can do so much more on this CRM program i love it. > > **Cons**: Sometimes its slow but other then that its a good program to work on and the should be more new features on the platform. > > Many as i use this program for saving all my clients information when contacting them and making notes. ----- ### "Professional experience on working with freshsales" — 4.0/5 > **Alfiya** | *07 August 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Since the company I was working with was very much into building customer relationships, this product proved beneficial. Tracking customer records is the best part about it > > **Cons**: After sales, customer support is not very extensive. Hence maintenance of long term relationships may hamper > > I worked with builder.ai where in a lot of customers used to come in for applications which can be customised. Tracking such leads was done through freshsales. We were able to successfully get a lot of leads using this tool ----- ### "Beware, GROWTH plan does not synch up with FreshSales, you need PRO" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 February 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's a basic CRM and does the job once you understand how it thinks (start with an Account, you must go to Accounts to create the Account, cannot just create an Account name when also creating a Contact). During their open hours, support is very polite and tries very hard to help. The AI support bot is pretty good at helping out at first pass, that's been really helpful. > > **Cons**: We bought the GROWTH plan as we didn't need the features of more expensive plans, but specifically to link to FreshDesk and have a single CRM. Spoiler alert: the sync between FreshDesk and Freshsales is only available for Freshsales PRO and upwards, with Pro priced at 5x the cost of Growth. Even though I asked several times during the sales process, as it was a key point for us (and honestly, it's baffling 2 products in a suite don't synch up to start with) and was assured they synched, it turned out after deep exploration by support and baffling messages by the front end that they didn't. I was furious and it's not mentioned anywhere in their marketing literature Secondly, Support is only available weekdays, it ends at midnight on Friday and resumes 8am on Monday. It wasn't made crystal clear when we signed up and in hindsight it's a bit too much of a risk for us, we're in tourism so we work hard on weekends. > > Not an easy start, and thankfully support is responsive unless it's the weekend, but overall Freshsales feels a little rigid and is not the easiest of tools to use although the back end seems solid enough. The big issue for us was learning that a key functionality promised in the sales process actually needed a much more expensive plan. Based on this and the support opening times, I expect to move us to another business suite, probably Zoho, within a year or so. ----- ### "Great software, but expensive and poor support" — 4.0/5 > **Harry** | *12 November 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Clean design, easy to use, and customisable with lots of useful features for daily sales management. > > **Cons**: Very expensive for what it offers. Requires too many add-ons (e.g., add-ons for the number of emails, contacts, api connections), and support could be much better. > > Good overall experience. It works well and looks great, but the pricing and support let it down. Support is particularly bad, a lack of understanding of their product. ----- ### "Reliable and easy to setup for use" — 4.0/5 > **Mathew** | *23 July 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Freshsales supports team collaboration abd it integrates with freshworks products such as freshchat and freshdesk which ensures seamless communication. Freshsales provides leads and sales analytics helping to identify and improve on weak areas. > > **Cons**: Freshsales allows client to book demo with sales agents and simple descriptions and training about product. > > Freshsales has increased my sales through creating and running smart campaigns which has also helped to increase on leads. ----- Page: 1 / 26\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155563/freshsales?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/155563/freshsales) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
