"A basic , entry-level CRM"

Opmerkingen: We have had a great experience with Bigin, it was a great alternative while lowering our costs. It offers a great value for the money we pay for it.

Pluspunten: While trying to lower our costs derived from the health crisis, we searched for CRM alternatives and ultimately we choose Bigin, due to their clean interface and the functionality they offer, as well as their low price (but great value overall)

Minpunten: Limited number of custom fields, no email templates and difficult to create email templates on my own.

Overwogen alternatieven: Zoho CRM

Redenen om voor Bigin by Zoho CRM te kiezen: Cleaner interface, best price

Overgestapt van: Vtiger CRM

Redenen om over te stappen op Bigin by Zoho CRM: mainly price, but it has a lot of functionality. It will also be easy to migrate to Zoho CRM, when the situation allows for it.

"A good CRM for small businesses"

Opmerkingen: I used the software for a group of my clients. They were all a small businesses owner. It takes no time to setup and learn how it works. And their saying «a big CRM doesn't mean big results» is totally right.

Pluspunten: The feature of migration from Bigin to Zoho CRM with just a click without losing a single bit of data and without tech expertise.

Minpunten: I didn't see anything disappointed me. It is a CRM for small businesses. I won't complain if it lacks a feature or two that just the big corporations need.

"Bad experience with Bigin"

Opmerkingen: It was good & i was very happy till i found all my accounting data was not integrated and had to add contacts manually

Pluspunten: Integration with GSuite
Tasks / Calendar

Minpunten: The worst is it does not integrate with Zoho Books, there is not point. I spent time exporting contacts from books and importing to Bigin and then realised this is foolish to do. They promised to integrate with books but they also suggested to use zoho flow another paid application. This is not fair as why should i keep paying for applications, they should have offered zoho flow for free as it is their fault when CRM is not integrated with books/accounting

"If you "live" inside your sales pipeline, this CRM tool is for you"

Opmerkingen: For the most part, I have had a good experience with Bigin

Pluspunten: The first time I came across Bigin, I wondered why a company would have two CRM tools (Zoho also has Zoho CRM)... but then I understood: Bigin focuses on the pipeline aspect of a CRM. The one thing that stroke me the most at first was the fact that Bigin was really a mobile-focused CRM. Pipelines, workflows (another name for automations in Bigin), and activity management are powerful, but I think that it is really in its mobile-first approach that Bigin shines. Its Signals are the perfect way to make sure you never forget to do something, and if you are an Apple user, you can even write or use a pencil on your iPad. Something I really enjoy is the ability to create widget to add to my smartphone homepage. This is great because I can easily get an overview of different things – e.g. tasks I need to carry out, upcoming appointments for the week – without having to be in front of my computer or without having to log into the Bigin mobile app. A simple swipe from my phone's home screen and I can see all of that.

Minpunten: Depending on what you would like a CRM tool to do for you, you may find that Bigin is lacking some things... For me, the main con is the fact that the premium plan has a limit of 50,000 contacts/record (though it is true that you can add more by paying)

"Great for small business"

Opmerkingen: Easy to set up and learn how to use If you are new to CRM and need one, this is a great starting point, and you can add features you need as you grow.

Pluspunten: Love that I can customize workflows, and store e-mail templates to reduce the time cost of doing everyday things with more precision.

Minpunten: Would be great if the tasks sent reminders for the day they were due rather than on the day they are set.

Overwogen alternatieven: Less Annoying CRM en Keap

Redenen om over te stappen op Bigin by Zoho CRM: Bigin had the features I needed (e-mail templates) at the price point I needed them. Others, the feature I wanted was at a higher price point AND came with all kinds of features I didn't need, but would have to learn to get the most out of the 1 feature I did.

"The perfect CRM when you're too big for a spreadsheet and don't need one of the behemoths!"

Opmerkingen: I loved having the full featured free trial to completely test things out before making a purchase.

Excellent pricing
Lots of customization options
Easy API

""The complete CRM package you can ever need""

Opmerkingen: Quite good and offers value for your money, once one can get the hang of it, its smooth sail all the way, and once they can improved on it better, it definitely will be the stock Software for all management task

Pluspunten: Bigin Zoho CRM makes business achieve organizational aims and objective a lot faster and manageable, from leads creation, marketing ,to finance productivity and eventually sales, every process is captured and monitored. whenever I get called upon for presentation my number one go to CRM is Bigin Zoho because it gives me comprehensive Report of my leads so far, solid email marketing and full automation of tasks when I don't have the time to repeat a task.

Minpunten: Despite the fact that I choose Bigin Zoho CRM, I am of the opinion that some features can be better improved on: Limited customer support, they don't really go the extra mile when one is faced with a problem also the initial set up can be tiring as it requires a lot entry to be done manually.
More also when extracting data from excel sheet and a column or row variation occurs with Bigin Zoho CRM templates, it doesn't self correct rather it extract the data so and this may cause variation in data presentation if one is not careful.

"So far so very good"

"Looked for a low cost full functional CRM"

Opmerkingen: I am really pleased with the start we have made, having used Zoho one for some time now and sometimes being intimidated by the large array of features that the product has, it is good to work within the confines of a smaller yet full-featured single product.

Pluspunten: Ease of use and ability to configure for our needs.

Minpunten: Early-stage product development but having access to new features as an early user adopter was critical to making it work for us

"Great & Simple"

Minpunten: Must include a Report section so we can analyze better data

"Easy Pipeline Management"

Opmerkingen: I wanted a simple way to manage my pipeline and Bigin gives me that. I am at the stage where I will be using it frequently going forward.

Pluspunten: Bigin provides a simple, uncomplicated way to track prospects and see at a glance where they are in the process. Because it is so easy, I use it more than full-blown CRM systems. I enjoy that I can enter people quickly and see where they are. Because it is simple, I can keep it current with my prospects and the stage at which they are.

Minpunten: None at this point. I do not see it is as a substitute for a full-blown CRM and am satisfied with what it offers.
