Bitrix24 vs Dropbox Business: Which is a better fit?

Tembi G.: Hi, my name is Tembi and I'm the Executive Director of the Young Musicians University, and I give Bitrix24 a rating of a four. Prior to Bitrix24, we were using Trello. The reason why we switched from Trello to Bitrix24 was to have more features, and also so our team can collaborate on projects and tasks within the platform. So, we decided to go with Bitrix24 for a couple of reasons. One was it integrated other things, like it also managed our marketing, and so we could tap into what we were doing in say our social media with our Facebook comments and different things, and it would also alert it and kind of keep it all in one central location. Then the other thing is honestly just for more features. So Bitrix does a lot of things, and that's one of the things that we loved about the platform, is that we are able to use so many different entities, such as task management, scheduling, booking, all in one platform, and so that was very, very helpful. So getting started with Bitrix24, it was slightly technical I have to say, but there's a lot of good help videos out there. But the platform itself can seem intimidating if you don't necessarily have technical skills, but once we were able to get everything streamlined and flowing, everything fell in place. So getting started was a little rocky for us just because of the different entities, and we had to choose what features would actually benefit our business. The advice I would give to someone looking to get Bitrix24 up and running is to have someone on your team who's familiar with the technical aspects of setting it up. So, like I said, it's a great platform, but it was a little bit technical for our team, per se. So we ended up using it for a period of time, but looking for something that was less technical. So, I would say just make sure that you have someone who has that technicality or that technical know-how and skillset on your team so that you can maximize the features of Bitrix24.

Allison B.: Hi, my name is Allison. I am a litigation paralegal, and on a scale of one to five, I give Dropbox a five. Currently, we use Dropbox to actually communicate with other attorneys, courts. We store our files there, and it's very, very time management, and it's great so that we can literally assign clients their Dropbox. They can go in and they can insert pictures or whatever they need to put in those spots also. So we basically use it as a tool for our case management. What I like most is that I can use it here at the office or if I'm at home. Let's say I'm on vacation, I'm never without it. I'm always able to access it and get the information. It's not like just, okay, if you save something on your desktop or on your normal computer, you go out of town, client call, you have no access, you have to call into the office. But with Dropbox, you always have that information, so I like the flexibility. Well our firm is pretty large. We have about anywhere from 15 to 20. We do way over $1 million in revenue a year, so I haven't had a problem where anything gets stuck, anything get lost, or I get to a place or go somewhere where I'm not able to access Dropbox. So right now I'm fine with it.
