As I am highly satisfied with the working of Apteama CRM I would like to recommend it to everyone with all sizes of the firm as it is ideal for firms from small to large ones. With its features, I can guarantee the best CRM solutions along with marketing automation. Although I am looking forward to it to offer more customizations.

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.

Cons
Aptean
  • I was expecting some more flexibility in it.
  • Its customer support is highly non-vigilant and should learn how to work responsibly.

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
Aptean
Its simple yet full-fledged interface is doing wonders in making our work time- effective. It is not just cost-effective but the marketing automation and sales force automation has proved very beneficial for us. By the grace of its reports, we can analyze intricacies.

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.

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.

IntuitiveERP included this CRM package with our license, so there was no extra cost to implement it. Salesforce is expensive so we felt that we could use this package to justify our need for CRM by implementing this package, and if it was improving our sales we could say that a larger package would give the ROI we expect.

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
Aptean
  • Improved interaction with customers for incident management.
  • Greatly improved opportunity management.
  • Lead management for marketing is improved and centralized.

Zoho
  • 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.
