Onboarding and Support
The difference in the time taken by ExtraaEdge and Leadsquared to onboard and after-sales support will give an idea of the level of complexity, resources, and commitment involved in the process.
The fundamental difference between ExtraaEdge and Leadsquared is the specific industries they cater to. ExtraaEdge has been an education-focused CRM provider for six years, knowing all the needs and wants of its customers. In contrast, Leadsquared has its feet in every industry, having its focus divided between multiple verticals.
ExtraaEdge designed a single-window CRM while keeping the end users in mind. The features they provide are simple to understand, thereby cutting down the adoption time. With regard to Leadsquared, product adoption takes time because the CRM’s design is intricate and has a steeper learning curve for end users.
At every level, the admission process in the education industry needs customisation, and ExtraaEdge is dedicated to providing it. We customise the system according to your needs, tailoring the product when necessary, and help you upgrade your admission automation. Leadsquared, on the other hand, has a self-serve CRM model with little room for customisation, making it a rigid system to understand and work on.
