Kauhslendra  Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Richard Mottershead - PeerSpot reviewer
Infinitely customizable, good end-to-end sales and customer management processes but lacks good documentation
Essentially, it's the CRM solution for managing customers and leads. The features that had the most significant impact on our sales efficiency include flexibility, regular updates, and very good end-to-end sales and customer management processes. AI and machine learning are on the agenda for next year. Initially, it will be very silo-based, but eventually, we'll be integrating MIBI data into our solution. Sales Cloud's reporting and analytics capabilities influenced our sales strategy quite a lot. We can build every report as a dashboard, and there are various sorts of things. We are using Tableau as our MIBI analytic solution, which is also owned by Salesforce these days.

Pros

"LeadSquared's most valuable features are it comes equips with all the basic features of a CRM. It integrates well with our existing systems and is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of LeadSquared is an easy-to-understand user interface."
"The most valuable feature of LeadSquared is the customization."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution are reporting and dashboards."
"It has custom fields and custom reports which can align to our business objectives and marketing focus."
"The solution is stable."
"Their support team is good."
"One of the most valuable features is the automation of Sales Cloud. It gives us the ability to easily—without the use of coding—create automation in order for us to do our work a lot more efficiently, whether it's notification reminders or certain automatic processes. There are a lot of things that Sales Cloud can do that, in my opinion, make everyone's jobs a whole lot easier and give them the visibility they need when they require it, when talking to customers and prospecting. It makes the account management process easier as well."
"I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud is very user-friendly, and simple to create dashboards and extract the reports. Additionally, it integrates well with other applications."
"The type of customization that comes with Salesforce CRM gives me a lot of liberty and ease of access to add any information that I wish to add. For example, the name, email ID, designation, the name of the decision maker, when the client joined the company, and the amount of influence he will have on the product."
 

Cons

"The solution's report section is not very capable and could be improved."
"The solution can get quite expensive, especially as you add more users."
"The solution’s UI could be more user-friendly."
"The notifications and workflow management can be improved in LeadSquared."
"If they could have convenient APIs into the other parts of the corporation that I wish to share data with, that would be helpful."
"It is a bit pricey."
"The reporting features and the dashboard must be improved."
"As a presale team leader, I see a need to better understand the platform because our current knowledge is limited. This makes it difficult to explore possible extensions of its use. We also want more detailed information on commercial opportunities included in the tool. It needs to include better documentation on the functions it offers."
"It's a very broad tool."
"The scalability could improve by a small amount."
"Its reporting capabilities can be improved. Its reporting interface should be improved to personalize reports."
"The solution is secure. However, they could always improve on security."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LeadSquared is not as costly as other CRM solutions."
"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."
"We have an annual renewable license for LeadSquared."
"The subscription is on a monthly basis."
"We have a yearly license, and there are no hidden costs. Considering the Indian market, the pricing is reasonable. I don't consider it to be on the high side."
"The price of the Salesforce Sales Cloud is expensive. We pay monthly for the solution but we are billed quarterly."
"The licensing fees are reasonable."
"You need to pay for the license per user per month. For example, you need to pay $100 per user. If you have 200 users using your Salesforce, that would be multiplied by a hundred, that's $20,000 per month and a quarter million per year."
"We must pay for the licenses."
"In terms of investment value and return of the investment, Salesforce right now is pretty good on the Western markets where the price of the employees is pretty high."
"The price of the product is very high. I rate the product price a ten on a scale of one to ten, where one means low price, and ten means expensive."
