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.

- Multiple pipelines let me organize processes like sales, marketing, customer support, and assets clearly. - The forms builder allows me to gather leads, sign-ups, and customer requests from my website directly into the Bigin by Zoho CRM. - Integrations with Zapier and Make connect website orders and data from other sources smoothly. - Email templates make it easy to send professional, branded communications. - Automations handle repetitive tasks like managing customers, orders, and team tasks, saving me time.

Pros
Aptean
  • Simple: it isn't too convoluted with too many features
  • Flexible: user-defined fields are able to be added to every segment of both opportunities and incidents
  • Dynamic: Integrates with the existing ERP system to pass customer and vendor data back and forth

  • Manage big databases. We have a large database of contacts and partners (more than 5,000 contacts), which are updated day by day, as a result of our participation in conferences, webinars, etc. For this reason, we needed a platform that would allow us to always have our database up to date, and accessible and editable by any member of the company.
  • Pipelines. Pipelines are very necessary in our daily lives, since we present many service proposals to different clients, and until now we control the status very manually. With Bigin by Zoho CRM, we can have all this information centralized in a single place, and know at all times the status of the service proposals we present (sent, pending decision, lost, won...).
  • Product definition. The product definition block has allowed us to further structure our typologies of products and services. At least, it has allowed us to reflect on them and what is the best way to package the service offered.
  • Control panel. The control panel has been very useful for us to be able to quickly see the main indicators (offers presented, next actions to be taken, etc.).

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

  • Limited Customization Options for Reporting and Dashboards:
  • While Bigin offers simple automation tools, setting up more complex workflows can be somewhat challenging. For instance, setting up multi-step workflows or integrating conditional logic can become a bit complicated for users who are not very technical.

Usability

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.

The usability is very easy to understand. It takes some time generating all the content you need (e.g. forms or email templates) but the integration in Bigin is very easy and therefore the usability. Once you have all together, you can automatize a lot of marketing activities as well as following up possible projects/customers.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Aptean
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.

Simplicity Without Sacrificing Core Features
Unlike full-scale CRMs that often feel overwhelming, Bigin by Zoho CRM provides a focused set of features that are perfect for managing deals, contacts, and activities. It’s not bloated, and that was exactly what we needed for a lean, fast-moving team.

Return on Investment
Aptean
  • Improved interaction with customers for incident management.
  • Greatly improved opportunity management.
  • Lead management for marketing is improved and centralized.
Read full review
Zoho
  • Zero deals closed yet – earliest expected close is +6 weeks away.
  • No marketing-source conversion data – will need 2-3 months of traffic to quote real CAC or ROMI
  • No paid automation – manual follow-ups still dominate, so time-saving metrics are anecdotal, not measured.
