Has an easy-to-understand user interface
We started using LeadSquared's basic functions. Currently, we are using the solution's features, such as automation, reports, automated emails, and marketing sections, which have increased our efficiency. LeadSquared has helped streamline our marketing campaigns. We initially didn't have marketing strategies or a platform with landing pages, but this changed after we started using LeadSquared. LeadSquared is a SaaS based solution. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Jaikishan Daryanani - PeerSpot reviewer
C level has visibility into the entire timeline and status of an initiative, and real-time reporting saves work
It is meant for non-technical users. As a matter of fact, for technical users, it may seem kind of naive or non-sophisticated or something. But for non-tech people, it's a visual treat because it has functionalities and capabilities suited to their business function as well as flexibility in terms of customization to make it adaptable. monday.com is very flexible. We created workspaces for every team and they have the flexibility to create and define their own processes and data points as well as their approval processes. Viewing projects and timelines via Gantt charts in monday.com is a native functionality. The power of the dashboard is that the solution enables you to do risk, timeline, and cost-benefit analyses for your initiatives. It gives you a complete perspective on the impact of your future decisions and initiatives for the upcoming months, quarters, and years. Based on the different levels in the organization, there is visibility into what each function of the organization or each department is up to. As a manager, it gives you a live update of the tasks and any particular changes. You can track the entire project for your teams and for other teams as well. Creating a new project in monday.com takes a few seconds. If you have the templates created you can generate a project via automation. If you have a standard WBS (work breakdown structure) for every single project, you can trigger automation. When the project is approved, within a fraction of a second, the entire WBS is ready for you so that you can start putting in your updates and data. There are around 200 templates available in the solution, and that gives you a baseline to start from, whether you are doing agile management or waterfall. Once you select a template, boom, it creates a baseline structure and you can start. And even if you want to create a new project, it's still pretty simple and a matter of a few seconds.

"When you have a tool that anybody can use from all devices, it spares some time so that you could do and handle way more things."
"monday.com is very easy to use and very user-friendly. I can give non-technical people access to their respective boards and that enables them to focus on their objectives and their targeted items or customers... No other CRM is this user-friendly for non-technical end-users."
"Automations are the most useful aspect of the solution."
"It has helped us to divide work by assigning tasks and forecasting how busy we will be in the future."
"Monday.com increases the transparency of project management and team management."
 

Cons

"The solution’s UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution can get quite expensive, especially as you add more users."
"The solution's report section is not very capable and could be improved."
"The notifications and workflow management can be improved in LeadSquared."
"It would be helpful if there were a little more flexibility with user numbers and the ability to add guests for a period of time."
"The service could improve in its ability to automatically update."
"Subitems could be reworked a little so that they’re more helpful."
"The product could have more templates."
"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
"Being able to create 'sub-teams' so people in these teams can be assigned to tasks in one go and receive updates on the progress of tasks would be useful."
"Once timers are cleared, there is no way to recover this data."
"I would like to have the ability to create more than two levels of subtasks in monday.com. It was a significant challenge as I often wanted to make a task dependent on another group, but it was difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have an annual renewable license for LeadSquared."
"I am not sure about the cost of the solution overall, but with their SMS notifications services, there is an extra cost."
"The license is paid yearly, and it is about 30 euros per month per user."
"LeadSquared is not as costly as other CRM solutions."
"There are features that they're putting in the Enterprise plan that you have to pay for the Enterprise plan to use those features. The Enterprise plan is probably double or triple the Pro plan price, or it may be two and a half times. From a business standpoint, I don't like the fact that I have to pay two and a half times more to use a particular feature."
"We tell others it's about $2200 for a ten-person plan and it can be adjusted; it's easy to scale."
"The pricing of monday.com was a little bit high for us, especially here in South Africa, compared to Basecamp."
"It was fairly reasonable. For everything we were using it for, it was fairly reasonable."
"It's definitely affordable. I don't think it is necessarily the cheapest, but it's definitely not the most expensive. The price is well worth the value that we get out of it."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com. However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals."
"The pricing of monday.com is worth it."
