Featured Reviews

Lead management has boosted sales and automations save time in loan origination workflows
LeadSquared offers many features based on the selected pricing, whether it is a standard or premium option, allowing users to capture and manage all leads, categorize them into different segments, and ensure no lead goes unnoticed. LeadSquared helps me categorize leads by capturing them from social media or other platforms. When a lead is captured, the sales team gets in touch with the person who made the inquiry, and when they receive updates via phone call or email, they can update the lead's status automatically through automation. LeadSquared is currently working on many features including auto WhatsApp messages, chatbot messages, and reporting functionalities, integrating AI for custom reports, and allowing users to master the data and put it into tables.
Madhan Krishnamoorthy - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Functional Consultant at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
Integration with CRM and third-party systems significantly boosts campaign management
The native integration could be improved, as Oracle Eloqua has decommissioned it. Manual uploads require changing the data priority order to top priority. Sometimes form capturing data fails, and campaign response issues occur. The pricing of Oracle Eloqua is quite high as it is an Oracle product. Compared to other marketing automation platforms such as Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Pardot, the price point is higher. The technical support is rated at eight because it can be difficult to get in touch with them after working hours. Support is only available during business hours, so if assistance is needed outside of the nine-to-five window, users must wait until the next day.
