It is well-suited for mid-sized companies. And the pricing is relatively better. I don't think it will work well well with companies handling bleeding-edge tech. But if u are looking for a typical CRM which does what it's supposed to do, then go for it. And it works well with your ERP software too.

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.

  • 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
Ardexus Inc.
Firstly, it's relatively cheaper than the other products in this segment but offers more features. For mid-Sized companies, this CRM is the best choice. If the company is already using Lotus Notes, the integration becomes easier. And finally, this is IBM-based.

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
Ardexus Inc.
Actually, I never had to use support during all this time.

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.

Oracle CRM on-demand is better for a huge company; it doesn't offer the level of customization this CRM offers. It provides less scope for 3rd party integrations. The analytics are far better with Ardexus CRM. Oracle CRM has not changed in 10 years, whereas Ardexus CRM gets constant Updates.

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

  • Increased per person productivity
  • Saves time when compared to doing it manually
  • It makes data easily retrievable

  • 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.
