Bigin by Zoho CRM is a great CRM for start-ups. it's reasonably priced and allows for streamlining deal tracking at a great price point giving small businesses a competitive edge over larger businesses. There are limitations with third-party integrations since they support the Bigin by Zoho CRM system. But I am happy and will be using it for the foreseeable future

Contalog easy to understand and does not require additional training at all. The inventory management system works fine and now we are able to track our stock levels across multiple channels.

Pros
Zoho
  • 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.).

Usability
Zoho
For a set up which is just starting up Bigin is the perfect CRM to start with. I have tried a lot of other solutions in the past however not many CRMs are built for managing the entire process on my own. Very useful for startups in 0 to 1 journey in my opinion. or for small & medium enterprises which operate on small scale.

Support Rating
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.

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.
