• The internal HR manager in Bitrix24 does not allow us to create sufficiently structured graphical lists of all absences that each employee has taken during his career within the company, and of all accessibility requests by employees to access some limited functionalities within the service.
• When it comes to group management work, it has been good to be able to identify elements within the service that remain oriented to business processes, such as the specialized area of web sales. Based on that, Bitrix24 is a good service to be able to manage business directly and to bring in leads on an ongoing basis, while still having positive results.
• It is well known that despite being a sales and CRM service, Bitrix24 has enough features to be able to plan projects of different scopes. Each of the project setup operations that can be executed within the Bitrix24 platform are accurate, or at least seem better and more streamlined than with any other service we've had the opportunity to test.
• Bitrix24 automates the execution of administrative dynamics to optimize the overall sales force level, thus leading to better level transactions within the sales modalities, and by integrating Bitrix24 with other sales services, it is possible to mobilize the documents of operations performed from one service to another.
• It can also be used to increase the quality level of the technical support operations that our support staff manages, as it allows for reviews of each support session, in order to evaluate the technician in question who is talking to customers while he is working in real time.
• In the case of managing crossover operations, we believe that Bitrix24 offers a good level of analysis for such crossovers, even when you need to work surprisingly with charts of various shapes that require a large number of crossovers. This information on graphs and reports coming from Bitrix24 is very easy to configure to match the technical formats or general aspects of any other CRM, without losing the quality of the work.

• Individual comments cannot be linked to. This makes it more difficult to reference a comment or question.
• Unnecessary features cannot be turned off. Since we use it primarily for communication, it would be ideal to turn off tasks etc. that are not needed or be able to move discussions as the first screen.
• There isn't an easy way to set up different projects under the same client.

• It's user interface can use some work. Although it doesn't take as long as some other software to learn, there is still a bit of a learning curve when it comes to day to day usage.
• Bitrix offers a lot of features. It would be nice to have those features laid out in an easier-to-read layout, versus the long list at the side of the page.
• It's mobile app functionality is quite limited. It can be difficult to work with other team members, solely off of their mobile app.
