Bigin by Zoho CRM vs. Gold-Vision

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.

It is the best available solution for small businesses due to the licensing model and the ease of use. For companies like us who implement this for customers, it is easy to implement and train users. Larger companies would prefer to use existing products that have been developed for their specific industry or department.

Incentivized

• Bigin by Zoho CRM has embedded the marketing automation feature in its operations.
• Also, Bigin supports CRM, through social media engagement and other working platforms.
• Bigin provides the management team with customizable reports, after extensive analysis from the entire market segment.

Incentivized

• Can be easily integrated with products like Sage or Outlook which most small companies use. This provides us with a great customer base.
• It is quick to deploy and most of our customers start using the solutions in less than a week.
• Very intuitive which makes training our customer easy and causes few support calls.

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• In the latest version, the user interfaces has been greatly improved. Some customers disliked the older version.
• Nothing else to complain about, maybe it can be made cheaper?

Incentivized

Because it is good.

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.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

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.

Incentivized

Probably the most important aspect would be the licensing model which makes it affordable for all businesses. Can be adapted to the business without having to change the business model around the CRM product.

Incentivized

• 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.

• It really filled a gap in the market where small business could not afford expensive CRM solutions.
• As we are implementing this as a solutions for our customers we don't pay for it, but it provides a monthly income from supporting the infrastructure this has been deployed on.
