Bigin by Zoho CRM offers a comprehensive CRM solution at an affordable price. Easy to implement. Additionally, if you need more features, you can easily migrate to Zoho CRM. In my opinion, this a recommended solution for small and medium-sized businesses. We use Bigin by Zoho CRM to manage our big contacts database, as well as to control all the business opportunities centrally. In our company (1-10 workers), until now we controlled the tenders we submitted manually, but as we have grown, it was impossible to maintain that way of working. For that reason, we chose to try Bigin by Zoho CRM, and we are very pleased with the change.
  • 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.).
  • Integration with additional social networks (LinkedIn). We believe that it would be very useful if Bigin by Zoho CRM could integrate in the short-medium term with platforms such as LinkedIn, which is one of the ones we use the most daily to reach our clients. Therefore, it would be an aspect to improve.
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.

Our company has an ERP (exaterra) for small companies in Mexico. We have recommended and installed Bigin to 3 clients so far. At the beginning we work with Zoho CRM but Bigin is more affordable for our clients and the functionally is closer to Zoho CRM and meets the most important needs of them. We have connected Exaterra to Bigin through Bigin´s API, and we have excellent results and happy customers.
  • is easy to learn and use
  • the pipelines and workflows working together are really powerful
  • the dashboard is very good
  • campaigns with social channels
  • complex forms designing
  • complex workflows
in my experience, Bigin is perfect for small and medium Mexican companies. The functionality versus price is very convenient and addresses all (almost) the needs they have

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.
