    - 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.

    vTiger packs a ton of functionality and capability, but the challenge is getting there. In today's day where everyone is doing more with less, having a solution that meets a couple specific needs and does that well is essential. To me, at times I feel as though vTiger is trying to be a "jack of all trades" solution which ultimately ends up making it more confusing to use. However, on the flip side of that, if you take the time to learn everything about vTiger, I am sure it is an awesome tool but there is a learning curve associated with it. Finally, I would like to see more integrations with other vendors moving forward so if we cannot use vTiger for everything, at least it would have the ability to "talk" with other programs.

    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.).

    Cons
    Zoho
    • 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.

    • Though you can create reports however you want, they may need to come out in multiple files. I wish this could be aggregated.
    • It's still very simple. There is room for improvement with the setup of the admin panel.
    • The dropdowns function funny when scrolled down. It's picky but it's frustrating.
    • The search function could be improved.

    Usability
    Zoho
    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.

    In the Last versions they have done a strong effort in creating a powerful data screen. Inside the screen you have access to signing, communications with multiple tools integration and connections with all modules related. With a single view you have all control over your data relations. It is similar to a control managing.

    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.

    It is as good as you could expect for a company that operates from another continent. Emails are quickly responded to and do not usually require additional questions or answers. It is quite rare for a company of their size to be as responsive as they are and that makes them a sound choice to deal with.

    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.

    VTiger had better overall cost and native capabilities that other solutions lacked. We used Nutshell CRM for over a year. It was a very efficient contact management system, but it seemed that if we needed to do anything but record contacts, we had to use an add-on. We spent a lot of time exporting and importing between different services. Quoting, invoicing, and payments all had to be manually transferred to our accounting system. It was very frustrating

    Return on Investment
    Zoho
    • 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.

    • Integration Across the Organization - What started out as just a CRM tool for sales is now being used for ticket management and project management.
    • Steep Learning Curve - It is not as intuitive out of the box and really requires a dedicated person to be a vTiger expert which can be challenging and time consuming.
    • Reliability - Sometimes features that worked yesterday don't work today, thus causing more time to complete the same exact task that was done previously. The thing that comes to mind specifically is the main search box as 1/2 the time it works, 1/2 the time it doesn't work.
