Customization and process automation enhance support operations, but interface consistency could improve
At this time, there is not specifically something to improve regarding Service Creatio, but a couple of years ago, Creatio started developing a new version called Freedom UI with new interfaces. The new interfaces are amazing, but we still have some features in Classic UI that we cannot use in Freedom UI. What we miss is having all features in Classic available in Freedom. Creatio works every three months to release new features, but they are taking too much time to make all those features available. We could use more time. There are a lot of business rules we can use in Classic UI, but we cannot use many of those business rules in the Freedom UI because of the different interfaces. We miss several kinds of business rules or conditions that we could use in the design of the application or interfaces to the customer. For instance, I had a feature to introduce a formula graphically, but I can only use very basic formulas in the latest release. In Classic UI, we have powerful formulas, but in Freedom UI, I am limited to direct files from the current screen. The only thing I miss is having all the features from Classic UI available in Freedom UI. For instance, managing duplicated records is a feature that we can easily use in Classic UI, but in Freedom UI I cannot merge contacts to resolve duplicates, which is not available yet.

Centralized CRM has given me a 360-degree view and helps me run smarter, AI-driven sales campaigns
One thing that Freshsales can improve is making it much easier because it is not quite easy for everybody to get a grasp of the entire CRM software. It is quite vast and quite complex. Perhaps more knowledge-based documents can be introduced. Apart from that, I do not have any major complaints. The integration in Freshsales is quite good because it is easily integratable with many other Freshworks software as well as with third-party solutions. The integration is quite good. Perhaps in the reporting feature, it takes some time to process the reports due to the amount of data that it handles. Apart from that, I do not have any major complaints with Freshsales so far.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our customers have seen value and efficiency using this solution."
"You can draw a video map or draw on a piece of paper and put it in creation using the designer tool."
"Service Creatio is a great tool in process automation."
"Email integration is easy."
"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."
"Freshsales is a very comfortable type of CRM with easy customization and user-friendliness, allowing even non-techie individuals to manage their internal pipelines effectively, as it is a highly customizable CRM that suits our business needs, whether for selling products or services."
"What I like most about Freshsales is that it gives clarity."
"I like Freshsales because it's integrated with Shopify which we use to host our website."
"Freshsales is a much reliable and much useful software for any business that wants to convert leads to customers to revenue."
"Almost everything has been automated through a process-driven approach, such as sending purchase orders, responding to customer emails, or adding values to emails."
"From a user point of view, I use Freshsales for my day-to-day sales activities, and as a basic system for the sales team, it is very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The customer self-portal is not good. Service Creatio has a special capability for external customers and users to access the web portal, but we had to use third-party solutions developed by us."
"Despite me telling them that Service Creatio has many certifications to protect data, they chose on-premise, which has created issues, as they must be responsible for updates, upgrades, and new releases."
"The return material authorization should utilize no-code or low-code."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"What I dislike about Freshsales is that it is a bit complicated and the initial setup is very difficult."
"I believe the customization options in Freshsales could be improved, particularly regarding themes; the ability to implement our logo into the dashboard would enhance our professional image when dealing with external partners compared to larger MNCs using their internal software."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
