    The tool has potential. Its capabilities and visual aspects could be considered rather basic but this might improve, particularly if the business intelligence/analytics aspect is leveraged. Once running well, it could allow (perhaps smaller) companies to successfully improve their customers' experiences through digitalizing customer journey - and we all know that customer loyalty goes a long way. However, whether or not the tool is comprehensive enough to deliver this for larger companies with more complex, multi- and omni-channel interactions is yet to be seen...

    - 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.

    • Face-lifted platforms: CX Messenger (formerly Sonic), CX Monitor (formerly Actional), CX Process (formerly Savvion)
    • User-friendly UI
    • Relatively painless implementation

    • 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
    Aurea
    • Standard edition is significantly lighter touch than the (pricier) Enterprise version
    • There are similar solutions on the market that are competitively prices and offer positive user experience
    • Data migration can be tricky at times

    • The interface is clean, but I can see how, as we get into more complex workflows, it may be limited, whereas a heavier CRM may be necessary at that point.
    • Mobile app works pretty well, it isn't quite as smooth as the web app.
    • Reporting could be a little more robust, but it does what we need.

    Zoho Bigin has been almost perfect in almost every sense of the word. It has been very easy for us to use. Onboarding new staff has been a breeze, and we have never had to retrain them on how to use it, as they get the hang of it on the very first attempt. It has also saved us a lot of money compared to what it would have cost if we had used other CRM tools.

    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.

    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
    Aurea
    • As our customers vary in size and maturity, the ROI ranges accordingly.
    • For younger, smaller businesses this is a useful tool. Digitalization of he customer journey has certainly helped save time and efforts in many cases.
    • For more mature market players the tool is not always comprehensive enough. Dashboard and report personalization take time and efforts, and sometimes it feels that a dedicated BI tool would be a more suitable solution.

    • 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.
