I am a small, one man, business and I have started to use Bigin by Zoho CRM to provide a simple CRM function that is easy to use.

I can email my leads setting up a workflow and pipeline to simplify my sales process.
  • Entry of customer details
  • Ease of reporting
  • Tracking of customer specific emails
  • Setting up of workflow
  • Use of user multiple email addresses so that emails can be sent from and received by multiple emails
  • Better colour control of dashboard
  • Haven't gone deep enough to think of more
I haven't used it enough to give an informed opinion, but it does what I want it to do and more.

We are a high end yacht manufacturer whose relatively small customer base is nearly entirely relationship based. We do not sell thousands of widjets which most CRM platforms seem only to accommodate. We are setting up BIGIN which has been simple and supprt from the BIGIN team has been very good.
  • Structured Pipeline
  • Custom fields
  • Movement from Pipeline to Pipeline
  • Allow a sub pipeline that is actually subordinate to an existing sub pipeline
Well suited to managing customer relationships by tailoring the stages to how we actually do business not a canned CRM approach that assumes thousands of transactions.

Greater detail in stages and transition requirements would help.

Great tool to help businesses be more organized! Bigin is easy to understand and easy to use, even for beginners who aren't familiar with CRMs. We use Bigin mainly to track how well our business is doing and its simple User Interface allows us to immediately see tasks and updates on new projects. We have been using Bigin for a few weeks now and the ease in workflow is immediately visible. The trial period also helped us get to know the inner workings of the CRM first to really see if it would fit our business.
  • Organizing tasks
  • Grouping leads together
  • Compiling contact information
  • More instructions
  • Faster loading time on browser
  • More customization options
Bigin is well suited to keep track of leads especially for businesses that are constantly contacting new clients and customers. Client information is easily stored and easily accessible to your peers. You can also keep track of all available tasks and see every step that it took to get to its current status.

Bigin by Zoho CRM runs our various sales pipelines, including pre-sales.
  • Simple view of pipeline
  • Easy to learn
  • Mobile and desktop apps
  • Number of pipelines is limited - could be more
  • Number of records is limited
Although Bigin by Zoho CRM is pitched as a small business solution, I actually think it is suitable to larger businesses as well.

We utilize it for tracking the nursing homes and staff at the facilities we service. It helps us keep track of our accounts, who we service, what their roles are and contact information and more. Additionally, it is important for us for making notes and updates on the accounts. In the nursing home world the staff turns over a lot and it can be hard to keep track of everything and where they are now at. Additionally, it helps us keep track of our leads, prospects, and former clients so that our business development team can prospect and keep their sales cycles going.
  • Documentation.
  • Ease of use.
  • Great app as well for the phone to utilize on the go.
  • Making adjustments to some of the templates or template options are tough.
  • The ability to reach customer service can be challenging at time as it is mostly international support.
It is great when you have a lot of clients and names to track. It is very easy to update and manage as well as it is great that others can see your notes. It is less appropriate for doing large blasts as it isn't as user-friendly for that. Also tracking each employee's activity is very challenging as a manager it is not very easy to see exactly what their statistics are.

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.

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.
