Bigin by Zoho CRM vs CiraSync

It is great when you have a lot of clients and names to track. It is very easy to update and manage as well as it is great that others can see your notes. It is less appropriate for doing large blasts as it isn't as user-friendly for that. Also tracking each employee's activity is very challenging as a manager it is not very easy to see exactly what their statistics are.

CiraSync is well suited to syncing company contacts into the Outlook user's mailbox. This could allow for calling with an IP phone, or from a cell phone. It's also well suited to syncing Calendars and Notes into the Outlook user's mailbox, where they do not already have permission on the calendar. However, to avoid confusion it is better not to duplicate calendars when the user can see them from Outlook.

A solid 8 from my perspective, a tool all small businesses should try out before venturing into the world of larger CRM solutions as this gives you the best entry point into the CRM solution world with ideas about all the modules that are required the most. It can be made a bit more intermediate user friendly by adding a bit more mass approach style features

Bigin by Zoho CRM has a 24 hours help desk, with well informed professionals, and they constantly listen and solve what ails the users. More so, often, new releases in the form of documentations regarding the software updates are made and revealed, making the beginners learn. The dashboard of Bigin is very basic, with well set operational features and by simply clicking any of them, the results are instantly revealed.

The documentation isn't the most robust. Most support sites are very detailed and easily searchable.

Bullhorn was a much better platform that Zoho, but Zoho is more affordable. Salesforce was very complicated, but Bullhorn was amazing at customization, specific full cycle tracking, as well as it was an all in one so you could do the recruiting cycle, sales cycle, billing and HR functions all in one whereas with Zoho they don't talk to each other and you have to have a different system for each process so it isn't all-in-one and accessible like other programs.

We tried 4Team Sync2 Cloud and also itrezzo. While we were not able to justify installing a server, installing a cloud app from the Microsoft store was easy and fit our business needs.

• The lead conversion right from prospects to revenue generation has increased in our organization.
• Previously the conversion rate was around 40%, now the efficiency has increased.

• It is difficult to capture specific dollar based ROI in this circumstance. Anecdotally, when it is 3 a.m. and I get an urgent call about an emergent issue at a remote location -- at my fingertips and the fingertips of everyone I work with are the names and phones numbers of our important contacts, site codes that we need to relay to emergency services, and other important information. I don't waste time searching for a piece of paper. I don't worry whether the next person I'm calling has a different site code or phone number. The data is readily available and consistent with all employees.
