Willem Lambrechts - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Have built intelligent workflows and accelerated lead conversion through embedded AI and process integration
There's definitely room for process improvement in SAP Service Cloud. In my opinion, what can be better in SAP Service Cloud includes having the data center existence properly implemented. Not all cloud solutions are present in data centers. While we evaluate the product, we have to check the existence of the product in all nearest data centers. For example, while I check the data center through the Trust Center on SAP's website, I found that most cloud solutions are installed in Riyadh, but they are missing some very important tools such as LeanIX, which is not existent in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce solutions are also missing, and some aspects of C4C, such as Customer Data Cloud, are not present in many data centers. Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa. They evaluate demand before installation, but having all solutions in the center point could encourage sales cycles.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The most useful thing is the ability to create multiple pipelines and the flexibility in filtering and reporting."
"The most useful stuff for me is that it's very flexible with all the data structures...Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a stable platform."
"It's very flexible and we can really fit it into our business model."
"The usability of the solution is its valuable feature."
"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 embedded AI inside SAP, called Business AI, impacts decision-making and resolution times significantly, working as a smart conversational chat in Joule to create dashboards and compare historical data with sales forecasts."
 

Cons

"Pipedrive has some weaknesses against Salesforce."
"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."
"Pipedrive is relatively stable, but the performance is lackluster compared to other solutions in this space."
"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 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."
"New features sometimes seem bolted on rather than being smooth."
"Areas where the solution could improve are with the easiness of integration with other solutions, as well as the reporting capabilities."
"Pipedrive could be more efficient. I want the management to be more transparent so it's easier to monitor the sales team's activities and results and do business forecasting. It would help them to improve the quality of the sales cycle."
"Not all components in cloud solutions exist in key centers in the Middle East and North Africa."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing is excellant. It costs 65 dollars a month for top tier plan."
"The product is expensive but provides valuable services."
"Pipedrive keeps increasing the prices, which is becoming a bit annoying. It was reasonable when we started, but now they're increasing all the time."
"As of now, the pricing and value are quite good."
"The solution is affordable."
"We pay $1000 a month for the tool."
