Much more than a place to Bigin
Reviewed on 24/10/2024
Pros
Where it shines uniquely for me is its ability to be repurposed for any internal process that requires a pipeline - support desk, projects, expense requests, HR onboarding. It achieves this by letting you use any module independently to the others. Say you build a pipeline for HR onboarding. You don't need to associate a deal with a company - which wouldn't make sense in this context. Or a pipeline for projects - there's no requirement to attach a contact.
Cons
It is missing an elegant way to generate proposals or live working docs to share with clients but there are workarounds as you can connect Bigin to many of Zoho's other products. I think this is not a deal-breaker considering Bigin is a simplified platform aimed at small business operators who don't have specialised IT knowledge to implement and administrate a CRM.

Firstly, the user interface is incredibly intuitive. I was able to get started with minimal setup time and training. The pipeline management features are fantastic, allowing me to easily track the progress of my deals and stay organized. The customization options are also impressive, enabling me to tailor the CRM to fit my specific business needs perfectly.
Pros
I recently started using Bigin CRM, and I have to say, it has completely transformed the way I manage my customer relationships and sales processes. As a small business owner, finding a CRM that is both powerful and easy to use has been a challenge, but Bigin CRM has exceeded all my expectations.
Cons
integrations with other tools are generally seamless, there are a few third-party applications that I wish Bigin supported.

Pros
We utilize Bigin by Zoho CRM to meticulously monitor and manage our leads on prospective clients and sales. This comprehensive system ensures that our entire organization maintains a clear and up-to-date understanding of who has interacted with each client, the details of those interactions, and the current status of their engagement with our services. It's simplicity is its best asset and the biggest downside i'd say.
Cons
Some of the biggest problem i've seen so far is the implementation of phone calls, wich are not as easily tracked if you don't use their platform to make the call. The customer support is reactive so far, but the lack of different languages can be a downside compared to the competitors on the market. Some advanced feature for integration are missing, but that is to be expected from a product wich is aimed at small teams/enterprises.

There is no better CRM program for small businesses
Reviewed on 14/03/2024
Pros
I've been exploring CRM programs for some time now. As a small business owner, I've checked out popular options like HubSpot, Pipedrive, and Monday. However, I struggled to find one with the best email integration. Then, I came across Bigin. It's more affordable and offers everything a small business requires. Setting up email and WhatsApp integrations was straightforward.
Cons
The developers even made a WhatsApp integration specifically for small businesses. I think soon we'll get access to WhatsApp's marketing and service tools too, which would be fantastic.
And if developers add Facebook Meta Business integration, Bigin will cover everything a small business needs.

I'm just getting started on CRMs – including the exploration I did on other platforms like Nimble, HighLevel, and EngageBay. I’m just looking for the right one with the right feeling that’s going to accelerate my business’s growth. Over time with Bigin (or some other CRM), I’d love to see some automations, tie-ins to appropriate third-party apps, and AI integrations. I need a CRM capable of supporting different workflows – and everything that naturally spills out from that process.
Pros
Bigin seems to have cracked the code for CRM newbies like me. They've done an incredible job of making things remarkably simple on the surface, while clearly having much more to offer within the service. I've spent a lot of time researching CRMs, and Bigin just kept on coming up to the top (especially when I combined features and cost together).
Cons
I was concerned about the possibilities of a constant upsell from Zoho CRM – as Bigin is the baby version of a much bigger platform. Thankfully they haven't experience this in practice. They haven't oversold me, and I'm very appreciative of that. So, in effect, the biggest Con never materialized!
