Is multiple sales pipeline same as a sales funnel?

The terms sales pipeline and sales funnel are often used interchangeably due to their similarities. However, there is a difference between the two:
A sales funnel gives a visual representation of the sales pipeline and displays the number of leads that enter and exit the funnel. This information may not be sufficient to show the sales team how many qualified leads they need to connect with to result in more deals.
A sales pipeline provides a more comprehensive view of a deal that allows the sales team to get an overall perspective of a buyer's lifecycle. It lets them:
  1. Visualize and track the progress of a deal through each stage
  2. Take necessary actions based on the stage the deal is in
  3. Monitor how long a particular deal has stayed in a stage and take action to prevent stagnancy
