Soumi Ganguly - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Project Manager at Epicor Software
Automation has strengthened lead hygiene and reporting and drives faster sales conversions
One area for further enhancement is advanced analytics and predictive insights. While the platform provides robust reporting, deeper AI-driven recommendations such as lead conversion predictions, risk identification, and next-best-action suggestions could help the sales team prioritize opportunities more effectively. Improving user experience is another area; as organizations scale and workflows become more complex, simplifying configuration and creating more customizable dashboards could enhance adoption across business users. Additionally, expanding native integrations and reducing reliance on custom configurations for certain enterprise systems could streamline implementation further. Regarding support, I feel it should be more proactive, with spontaneous responses. Whenever I raised queries, I experienced longer wait times and had to wait for proper responses that were sometimes passed between multiple people. I believe when I ask a question, it should be assigned to the right person at the right time to reduce time consumption on both ends. LeadSquared automates many sales and marketing processes effectively, and there is an opportunity to strengthen its AI capabilities in areas such as predictive lead scoring, conversion forecasting, and next-best-action recommendations. AI-powered conversion analysis from calls, emails, and WhatsApp interactions could help identify customer intent, sentiments, and common objections, providing valuable insights for both the team and managers. For compliance and governance, a proper API should be created and integration should be structured to prevent lead leakage and data manipulation, which needs to be addressed by LeadSquared. I have noticed that it often does not provide accurate data and relies more on human intervention. When AI is integrated into any kind of software, it is expected to deliver the right outcomes and analyses. However, I have seen many cases where it provides only sixty-five to seventy percent accuracy, which I believe can be significantly improved.

Managing Director at Drebbel
Offers the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting
We do a lot of analytics and reporting ourselves. We don't necessarily use all the features that Pipedrive provides, but it's very helpful at least. It has streamlined our deal-closing process. We use it for everything. When we create a lead, we put it into Pipedrive. That lead can be converted into an opportunity, which we manage through our whole pipeline. This includes having all data related to the opportunity in one place. Once the deal is closed, we use Pipedrive to follow up on the invoices until they are paid. We also manage sales commissions and payments to our salespeople through Pipedrive.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"LeadSquared has created a positive impact on the organization as it has increased sales and customer engagement."
"The most valuable feature of LeadSquared is the customization."
"I am not recalling all the features right now, but I can definitely say that LeadSquared is best for managing contacts and managing leads."
"Since switching from Google Sheets to LeadSquared, I have seen significant outcomes; once we moved to LeadSquared, we have visibility, we understand which salesperson has how many leads and what the conversion rate is, we can measure all these things in LeadSquared, and this improved our decision-making, with the conversion rate increasing by about 30 to 35% after moving to LeadSquared."
"LeadSquared is an easy tool to adopt and get going with, as it is plug and play."
"Previously, the sales lead conversion rate was about 3,000 to 4,000 monthly, but now it has increased to 5,000, 6,000, or even 7,000 monthly conversion rates, significantly boosting our sales."
"LeadSquared has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to manage a lot of leads we previously could not handle effectively."
"In my experience, the best features LeadSquared offers are providing transparency and more detail of the customers."
"Pipedrive's most valuable features are that you can keep the whole information that's related to managing your sales process and you can customize it easily. The person that we have who is customizing Pipedrive is very junior in means of software development or process development. He can easily use it, anyone can use the solution. It has a very easy user interface to customize your processes and apply them to the Pipedrive process."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create timelines and custom fields."
"The solution is very stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is pretty easy to use and intuitive."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Our primary use case for this solution ranges from using it for daily activities in sales to forecasting and KPIs and following up on every deal we are working on and every lease we are opening."
 

Cons

"I would suggest improving LeadSquared by enhancing the website part of it."
"LeadSquared can be improved in terms of UI and UX."
"However, I have seen many cases where it provides only sixty-five to seventy percent accuracy, which I believe can be significantly improved."
"LeadSquared can be improved on various parameters."
"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."
"LeadSquared can improve by enhancing its dashboards to be more creative, as the current look is very simple and not visually appealing."
"The report feature of LeadSquared needs to improve."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"You must pay more if you need an additional feature."
"New features sometimes seem bolted on rather than being smooth."
"The form builder works even though it has some shortcomings...Also, the forms don't have the ability to avoid or stop people from signing up if they don't have a corporate email."
"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce. The documentation of Pipedrive could improve. They need more qualified documentation because I had to fix my colleague's work to correct the reports because they did not find how they can do it, or develop reports. There are some misunderstandings about how to do reporting."
"The platform could be even more robust."
"In future releases, I would like to have a highly intelligent integration service where you can easily connect PipeDrive with other tools, even if you are not a developer."
"The tool's APIs are challenging. It should also be compliant with HIPAA, FINRA and GLBA. The data centers should be within US so that they are compliant with regulations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"LeadSquared is not as costly as other CRM solutions."
"The license is paid yearly, and it is about 30 euros per month per user."
"I am not sure about the cost of the solution overall, but with their SMS notifications services, there is an extra cost."
"We have an annual renewable license for LeadSquared."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
"The solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The solution is affordable."
"Pipedrive is relatively more affordable than other solutions."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, two or three. For us, everything is expensive because this is a startup, but for a normal company, it should be peanuts."
"The price of Pipedrive has been reasonable."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"Pipedrive is the most cost-effective in terms of the balance between cost and features. I would take Pipedrive over HubSpot or Zoho CRM. It's well-positioned on the market."
