  • Does the basics very well
  • List of 100 or even scroll ability for accounts and companies

I have been shopping around for a while or a CRM that could fit my small company. Bigin by Zoho CRM is a very versatile web based CRM ideal for any small company looking to integrate a hi-tech solution in a very easy and comprehensive way. Very steep learning curve, ease of use, at an affordable price. Excellent!
  • Multiple pipeline management
  • Automation of stages
  • Email integration is seamless! (Fabulous feature!)
  • WhatsApp integration
  • Team/task management
  • Task alerts and follow up could improve
Bigin by Zoho CRM is ideal for any kind of sales teams, help desks, real estate agent, insurance agents or any independent professional willing to get a clear view of practice management. In my case, for example, with a consulting practice we benefit of a structured system that helps improve deal closing rates. It definitely helps small teams to keep the ball rolling.

We are a small startup with 10 people out of which 6 are for Sales and Business Development. We have been looking for a cost effective CRM for small teams that can help us manage data on a daily basis.
  • It helps us organize contacts and company details efficiently
  • Bigin by Zoho CRM helps us keep track of daily active conversations with leads and their movement.
  • It helps the team keep a track of things and operate efficiently on their mobile devices as well.
  • 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.
It helped us scale as a small team and also helped in efficient lead management and conversion status.

This is the best CRM software available for small-scale companies. It can be used with inbuilt forms to automatically create leads and pipelines. Additional features like custom fields, custom domains, products, email templates, etc. are a very big asset to the CRM software. We have been using this to capture and process leads with very good integrations with WhatsApp, Zoho Mail.
  • Lead Creation
  • PipeLine creation
  • Integration with Whatsapp, Mail
  • Maybe allow to not use the default Sales Pipeline
Suited for automatic lead and pipeline capture. Not suited for bigger organizations.

My experience with Zoho Bigin has been exceptional. This tool has become an invaluable asset in my day-to-day operations. Before using Bigin, managing hundreds of leads and customers was quite a challenge. I relied on Excel spreadsheets, which made organizing and tracking my work incredibly cumbersome. However, since integrating Bigin into my workflow, everything has changed for the better.The ease of use and efficiency that Bigin offers are unmatched. Now, I can focus on the most important prospects without getting lost in a sea of scattered data. The Bigin mobile app deserves special recognition. Thanks to it, I can manage my tasks and contacts from anywhere, even while traveling. It's like having my office in my pocket, with all the functionalities available and without compromising the quality of work.In summary, Zoho Bigin has dramatically simplified my customer management process and significantly improved my productivity. I highly recommend this tool to anyone looking to streamline their work and stay organized in an increasingly dynamic business world.
  • Have an great app movil
  • Is userfriedly
  • Is easy to setup
  • Increased flexibility in customization options for pipelines and fields.
  • Enhanced reporting and analytics features for deeper insights.
  • Improved integration capabilities with Zoom and my calendar
It's incredibly useful since Zoho Bigin targets micro-SMEs like us, needing affordable platforms with top-notch features. This balance ensures efficient customer management without straining our budget, fostering business growth seamlessly.

This is essentially an extension to the larger base CRM that Zoho has. Its great for small business owners and mom and pop shops who look into getting more of a relationship based business approach as to grow by creating trust as small businesses. The tool gives you a hint of what the whole CRM entitles.
  • Lead Management
  • Follow up
  • Customer Relationship Management
  • Mass outreach
  • Mass client relations
  • Generalised sales approaches
Bigin by Zoho CRM is well suited for small businesses of any kind because its more in the niche of personalised approaches to clients and follow ups accordingly so that the relational prospect development and sales occure. It gives you a flavor of the mass CRM that Zoho has as well. The entry path to your CRM journey.

It was mainly used in my organization for maintaining leads and Managing Sales. It has been used across my organization right from sales department to service department for afterservice purposes. All the data from the different social media platforms are moved to CRM. It has mainly automated the problems related with Excel.
  • Lead Management: It manages the lead management system quite well.
  • Data extraction from different social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn.
  • It is quite easy for a new user, no training is required you are always ready to go with it.
  • The dashboard needs a bit of improvement and the user interface needs to be more user friendly.
It's available at a much lesser price as compared to other CRM's. The price per user is also much less as compared to other users. It's well suited for small businesses that need to move towards automating the manual process.

Recruit 50Plus uses Bigin to manage our clients, our strategic partners, and the deals we win (and lose). It is a great CRM for those who are not ready for the "big league" or want to get a feel for the power of a CRM. For us, Bigin is just perfect for the size of our business. We may move to Zoho CRM in the future, but we are in no rush.
  • Easy to use and operate as there are not "23 million" options, but still powerful.
  • Integrates with other Zoho products like Zoho Social, Campaigns and Forms.
  • Allows deals pipelines with fully customisable stages.
  • Share files, notes, emails, etc. between Contacts and Deals.
  • More sophisticated workflows, such as some of the features in Zoho Flow.
  • More than 20 customisable fields.
This depends on their business, its size, and what they are trying to do. For a smaller business, or one starting to employ work flow and management apps, Bigin is a great start.

Bigin by Zoho CRM has made both medium and growing companies move from the old ways of handling clients through manual lists or spreadsheets, and currently, there is the customer relations support from the tool. We use Bigin to completely manage the details pr contacts of clients, which makes it effective when we want to make some communications with them. Furthermore, Bigin makes workflow management more effective, after identifying the business opportunities for growth. The email marketing, which is the most reputable digital advertising means have been introduced to Bigin.
  • 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.
  • Bigin by Zoho CRM fails to efficiently operate on Apple products, which serves a wider market.
  • Also, focuses on small and the growing enterprise, and I think the application can even help the big corporations.
  • Furthermore, Bigin integration is swayed on Zoho products, and its right to include other external applications.
The CRM role more so for the medium size enterprises is what Bigin by Zoho CRM has done so effectively. Also, the contact list of employees together with their specific details have been well stored and secured by the application. The application made us introduce the marketing automation process, which double or significantly increases sales. Lastly, the social media engagement and involvement from the tool makes us reach to audiences in a wider scope.
