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.

1. Better understanding of customer choice and sales insights. 2. High chance that we can convert the lead into sales as SAP analyzes the customer's need and behavior. 3. As it analyzes the data behind the scenes, a better price deal closing is possible, as it gives that level of insight.

  • Help sales teams decide based on relevant data
  • Provide a framework to guide sales teams on activities such as status updates, customer success, sales qualification, etc
  • Reduce manual work by predictive analysis, that is, by understanding when a template can be helpful, updating a manager on a finished task, etc

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
Read full review
  • One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud
  • While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes.
  • The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required.

I know what SAP CRM can do in the future. We are very happy with the product and think it is a great choice for both SAP ERP users and even those who do not use other SAP products. We have both Salesforce and SAP CRM, and we feel that Salesforce is a good product for a few years, but SAP CRM is a more fully-featured product and is a better choice for complex organizations capable of running installed software of this complexity. It is often just a question of budget.

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

In short, SAP CRM is a complete service that will help improve marketing strategy and productivity. It covers various topics, from big data analytics to resource management and housing sales data. SAP CRM has a long list of features and can do them all.

Product was mostly available. A couple accessibility issues did exist when sending API calls, and there was either no response, or a delayed response.

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...

SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

Training was mostly completed over a couple conference calls, and reading the API documentation. Our developers were able to implement quickly after reading the documentation.

Implementation Rating

I would rate the implementation a 7. While the process overall was successful, there were challenges related to data migration, integration with other systems, and initial user adoption. However, the support from SAP during the implementation phase was helpful, and we were able to resolve the major issues as the process progressed.

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.

One of the most outstanding features of SAP Sales Cloud is its easy integration with our existing SAP ecosystem. This was essential because we used SAS/4HANA in our operations. Its ability to have a single platform that easily integrates sales data with other company operations was a huge advantage for us. In contrast, some of the other systems we explored required significant changes or integration work, which would have raised our overall costs and level of complexity.

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.

  • Integration with additional sales tools, such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, greatly improves the speed and efficiency of our entire process.
  • Standard templates facilitate easy and efficient lead interaction.
  • The time is reduced and representative job productivity increases when SAP Sales Cloud is used.
