Likelihood to Recommend
Generally speaking for small to mid sized team I really cannot recommend it enough. It has an excellent feature set, good amount of integrations, fairly customisable and backed by solid support. And the pricing is very competitive too. I feel like if your team is larger than that, you might want to look at other alternatives but for teams that size, its really perfect.

[Nimble] has been the best platform for us to manage contacts and information from the
contacts. Great dashboard, fast UI, and complete package with all features
helping us a lot. I would definitely recommend this software to other
businesses to have this in their ecosystem to be more productive.

Pros
  • Leads: organization, capture, integration

  • APIs are very simple and stable to use, Zapier and 3ªpart integrations provided

  • Nimble is the CRM solution used to strengthen business relationships with our frequent and potential customers.
  • We like that it allows us to follow up with our customers.
  • Its integration with email tools, social networks, and other programs allows me to keep in touch with customers and prospects.

Cons
  • Persistent and pervasive down time
  • Lack of scalable integrations with data source (e.g., their Segment integration is barely functional and they won't improve it)
  • Slow and unhelpful customer service
  • Account management doesn't understand our business or what we're trying to accomplish
  • Email campaign feature is barely functional and only allows you to have 10 campaigns, even with the most expensive plan
  • Lead and contact records have gone missing and FreshSales is unable to recover data

  • I dont like the functionality aspect of how one of the controllers is always on standby, they dont load balance, meaning you can be on the same controller for the life of the appliance
  • The 4.x firmware was pretty buggy and it gave off a lot of temp alarms

It's truly a great system if you get it for the right reasons. Don't expect it to do everything a mid market organization would require but for any small business or mid to large organizations which would like to integrate to it for the social insights capabilities this is a leading solution which can add value immediately

Usability
I would give Freshworks CRM's overall usability a 7 out of 10. Although the software has improved since we first obtained it, it still could use improvements to make functionality more intuitive and easier for the average user. It is not that challenging but there is definitely a learning curve

The platform has more advantages and positives as compared to challenges or negatives in comparison to other comparable products and platforms available in the marketplace. It was extremely easy to get started with the initial deployment which makes the choice much clearer. Finally its tight integration not just with Microsoft O365 suite, but also with [the] most popular social media platforms available makes it a very favorable platform in its domain.

Support Rating
When you initially log in to Freshworks, you get snippets to guide you on how to set up. You have a chat option on every page so you can reach out to the support agent and get your issues resolved in real time. The agents are fast, responsive, and experienced in handling even a person who introduced CRM to the world...

Nimble customer service is enjoyable. With great patience, they work tirelessly to help their customers. It was highly beneficial to employees to have access to remote support sessions. We decided to get in touch with them to learn more about any previously mentioned features. Because of this, Nimble has a strong foundation. I think it's a fantastic option.

Alternatives Considered
We are a smaller company and simply were not seeing the value in what we were paying Salesforce. We needed a robust opportunity and lead management system that was affordable and [Freshworks CRM (formerly Freshsales)] has provided us with that. We are now able to track leads, opportunities and funnels easily and quickly report on these to senior staff who rely on this information for their board meetings.

I cannot regard Salesforce as a perfect tool for CRM. I found Salesforce lacks many important features that we were looking for. Moreover, [the] email marketing feature of Salesforce wasn’t working well and I didn’t like that feature. But on the other side, the email marketing feature of Nimble works excellently and Nimble is a complete package for CRM.

Return on Investment
  • Freshsales has definitely had a positive impact on our sales. It's difficult to nail down the ROI it has generated, but it's well worth the cost.
  • The savings is mostly in time spent on lead and client follow up, so we can handle more leads and projects with a smaller team.
Read full review
  • As the investment made with nimble is only 15 dollars per month, it is easy to return it and double profits in a short time, but this is totally relative to the number of people that are working on the platform account.
  • Based on the above, it is easy to deduce that nimble is a little better suited to small businesses that require a smaller number of sellers, since it does not ensure that all sellers can cover their quota.
