Pros and cons

Bigin is the perfect solution for our startup. I love its interface, deal tracking and ease of use.
We have had a great experience with Bigin, it was a great alternative while lowering our costs. It offers a great value for the money we pay for it.
Bigin is such a great and easy use of software that helps companies get started with a CRM that offers the functionality of becoming more advanced.
Hyperlink for the phone number is missing, call task remainder for the company is missing some time we have a company details without contact person.
There are some features for a client that cannot be removed, or they're by default, so it's difficult to be hiding each of them.
Regrettably, we're presently having an issue with the proper synchronisation of emails, but the team is intensely working on this problem.

A Basic CRM for mid tier pricing

Reviewed 4 months ago

An attempt at a CRM system that needs a lot of development. This may be appropriate for some industries e.g. call centres, but not for managing financial services pipelines etc.

Pros

The pipeline is simple to manage, but it's clear that this is not a CRM system that was designed for financial services.

Cons

Bigin is very inflexible and amends or additions to your setup come at a cost. The system is also very basic and clunky: for example, dashboard reports cannot be exported as a view of the whole report, instead you only have the option to export an individual graph at a time.

Bigin CRM is perfect for our Small Business

Reviewed 7 months ago
Pros

The Sales Pipeline is very intuitive and simple. We always pull up the Bigin Sales Pipeline on our weekly sales call as the team discusses current sales opportunities.

Cons

Little tricky to find things sometimes. For example, today I tried to figure out how to merge multiple contacts into one contact to eliminate duplicates. Was pretty intuitive in ZoHo CRM, but not as easy to do in Bigin.

Super easy to set up and great tools to build your CRM the way you want to do it!

Too many options and a bit overcrowded. I would have liked it to have a few fewer options to make it easy to use it. But overall it's a great tool to start.

A basic , entry-level CRM

Reviewed 3 years ago

We have had a great experience with Bigin, it was a great alternative while lowering our costs. It offers a great value for the money we pay for it.

Pros

While trying to lower our costs derived from the health crisis, we searched for CRM alternatives and ultimately we choose Bigin, due to their clean interface and the functionality they offer, as well as their low price (but great value overall)

Cons

Limited number of custom fields, no email templates and difficult to create email templates on my own.

Great for small business

Reviewed 2 years ago

Easy to set up and learn how to use If you are new to CRM and need one, this is a great starting point, and you can add features you need as you grow.

Pros

Love that I can customize workflows, and store e-mail templates to reduce the time cost of doing everyday things with more precision.

Cons

Would be great if the tasks sent reminders for the day they were due rather than on the day they are set.

CRM Experience using Zoho Bigin

Reviewed a year ago

Client activity is consistent and I don't forget deals

Pros

The Deal stages and Dashboard features are what I use the most. I am able to keep track of my progress and set activities for myself.

Cons

Probability feature for each deal stage would be helpful to estimate what I could close off with on the month

My overall experience with this product is very positive.

Pros

I tend to be a bit disorganized and my colleagues complain about this. Since using BIGIN they are all complimenting me for my newly found organizational skills. Of course I do not tell them why and take the credit.

Cons

It was a little complicated at first for me to understand all the features. With practice it became second nature

CHanged my entire Office Life

Reviewed a year ago

I like the direct way of communicating with the zoho team. As I am bringing in a number of additional proposals for new / extended features, I really feel that they do care a lot. I have been developing complex platforms since 15 years, and bigin has a huge potential.

Pros

I like most the now existing way to work on each deal and to know exactly what is on!

Cons

regrettably, we're presently having an issue with the proper synchronisation of emails, but the team is intensely working on this problem.
