Feels unfinished Firstly, the Growth tier is now free for up to three users - it's quite hard to justify paying out for other less featured CRM platforms in comparison, if you fit inside the 3 user limit. At least, initially. But then the more you scratch at the surface, Freshsales just feels unfinished and lacks polish. On paper, there's lots of features, but in practice these are hard to access and require a lot of set-up, and too-frequent workarounds. Other times (particularly with syncronization tools) behaviour is unexpected and at times, downright problematic. I found support generally good once you get to 2nd tier, but initial responses often betray a lack of trying to understand your issue. And the chatbot is a waste of space. This is the second time I've tried Freshsales - it's one of those products I'd love to like due to its pricing and feature set, but just keep on tripping over usability snags.

I'm having a lot of problems with the… I'm having a lot of problems with the email function. Whilst I try to keep the customer database fresh - in my industry there is a lot of turnover so invariably my emails bounce more than usual as my customers roll in and out of projects. Often I don't know they've left until an email bounces and I investigate. I'm then constantly battling with this CRM that my emails bounce rate is too high etc etc.

Did Not Want Subscription Renewed, Can't Seem To Get A Refund Or A Response I tried Freshsales for almost a year and experienced several incidents with data disappearing or data being changed. The program is nice but it simply isn't what I want. I stopped using the software a few months before my annual subscription expired and did not want to renew it. Freshworks (parent company) renewed my subscription to the tune of $300 on May 26 and as of today have not replied any of my four inquiries. I am really getting angry about this!

Super inconvenient When you dig deeper into crm you find out it was not built for marketing or sales: - The webforms do not capture your UTM, so you don't know where the clients come from - The sales person has to go and manually check all the channels of communication. If you have 3+ it's a huge problem - You cannot send a proactive whatsapp straightaway to client - you have to create a campaign + a journey - which is really bad - There is no report for the simple sales funnel Plus bugs everywhere. Support is very nice and they are really trying to help but the product is bad

Horrible Business Practice and Customer Support The product is fine, but their business practices are egregious. They have a policy that you have to alert them 60 days ahead of your renewal date in order to cancel, however they don't send out any reminders or warnings that your account is about to renew. They charged me $828 for a product I stopped using almost a year ago and refuse to refund my money. Run, don't walk, away from this company.
