Only positive so far, would definitely recommend

Only positive so far, would definitely recommend

Pros

It offers a great contact management system, import functionality, emailing, integration with Woocommerce

Cons

Nothing so far, but during the trial it would have been helpful to be able to add a second user to work out some of the sharing details

Reasons for Choosing Bigin by Zoho CRM

Although ACT is a very powerful CRM, it offers way more features than required and as a result ends up too expensive.

It is really friendly for beginners and easy to use.

Pros

It is really easy and friendly for tiny companies. I used many different crm-systems but I couldnt understand them. After I used bigin for some minutes, I knew: "This is the crm-system, for our tiny company with 5 people."

Cons

This is a really good question. At the moment I have no answer.

Small Size CRM

Reviewed on 20/01/2024

Pros

It is really convenient to setup and onboard users.
We tried a simplified process for one of our teams instead of using Zoho CRM (full one), but in the end lacked some functionalities here.

Cons

Limited customizing options, overall not so useful from mobile in our case.

Much more than a place to Bigin

Reviewed on 24/10/2024

Pros

Where it shines uniquely for me is its ability to be repurposed for any internal process that requires a pipeline - support desk, projects, expense requests, HR onboarding. It achieves this by letting you use any module independently to the others. Say you build a pipeline for HR onboarding. You don't need to associate a deal with a company - which wouldn't make sense in this context. Or a pipeline for projects - there's no requirement to attach a contact.

Cons

It is missing an elegant way to generate proposals or live working docs to share with clients but there are workarounds as you can connect Bigin to many of Zoho's other products. I think this is not a deal-breaker considering Bigin is a simplified platform aimed at small business operators who don't have specialised IT knowledge to implement and administrate a CRM.
