Amdocs CES is well suited for organizations looking for robust and highly integrated CES tools, I would definitely recommend it for medium or large sized enterprises. Is less appropiate for small business that do not have a skilled team in place to operate it and doing maintenance.

Bigin by Zoho CRM is suitable for medium-size or small-size companies. In our case, being a small company, all the functions that Bigin by Zoho CRM offers are more than enough. If in the future we need features that are not currently covered by the platform, we will evaluate the possibility of migrating to Zoho CRM. But for the moment (until now we had never used a CRM), everything that Bigin by Zoho CRM offers us fits our needs perfectly. Perhaps for other very large companies, Bigin by Zoho CRM surely does not cover all needs, although I couldn't give examples.

  • Is a very robust service, but it could be more economically accessible

  • Could improve Amdocs delivery center

Zoho
  • The CRM is majorly for small teams and does not have use cases for bigger organizations
  • It needs to add some add-on features like email automation and journey creation from CRM itself.
  • There is room for improvement in some specific use cases, like adding enrichment to leads manually or API integrated.

Usability
Amdocs
The most robust tool available on market, highly intuitive, scalable. But the process to start operations and customization is quite hard/complicated.
Read full review
Zoho
It has some great functions that are very easy to use and user-friendly, however overall it is not a very robust system and the fact that it only does sales and not the rest of the cycle for an organization makes it very limiting. There are a lot of functions that are very basic, but for the price it does offer a lot of value for a smaller company that just needs basic functions to track.

Support Rating

Support is centralized in Israel, sometimes the time when we get answers are considered delayed compared with the price you are paying.

Zoho
The support is all international and it takes a while to get support as you have to go through chats and set up times, not as easy to just call and get the support you need. They are very nice when you do finally connect with someone and they are knowledgeable, just challenging being international sometimes.

Amdocs CES is more robust, scalable and powerful. Although the project delivery method and high customizations / development to reach the final problemas are points of attention

The price is much more attractive than equivalent tools. Pipe drive is as good, but the cost is a big factor when you are a small company, especially at the beginning. So that is why we chose BIgin, and we are delighted with it. With five members, it saves a few hundreds of euros a year.

Return on Investment
Amdocs
  • It has empowered our organization to handle our customer requests without services interruption.
  • The customization required to put the service operational, at the beginning, delayed some processes.
  • Amdocs CES has helped driving innovation and aligns with our digital transformation objectives.

  • Reaching more possible customers quickly and with less effort. The fact of being able to automate sending to our contact database, which has previously been tagged and categorized, has allowed us to send information in a more agile way (previously we simply used Outlook, without any type of automation).
  • Automatically consulting all the email history you have with any of the contacts has allowed us to be more efficient and avoid duplication in communications.
  • The process of implementing and integrating Bigin in our company, although it was not difficult, we found some difficulties to synchronize the database loaded in Bigin by Zoho CRM with our Office365 account.
