### "Budget-friendly CRM for small business"

April 21, 2024

5.0

Pros

This budget-friendly CRM for small businesses offers nearly the same features as other costly CRM options. I’m satisfied with how it has streamlined my business processes. The calls and task tracking is very useful, also the recent feature where popup comes in caller id is contact is saved on crm really helps.

Cons

I’d appreciate a dedicated ‘leads’ page instead of lumping all contacts into the same ‘Contacts’ section. Managing leads can be a bit tricky, but I’ve managed to make it work.

### "We've tried others but Bigin by far best for us"

May 5, 2024

5.0

Pros

We thought LACRM might be the one as we want simple and easy to use yet customisable enough while not breaking the bank! Honestly nothing ticks as many boxes as bigin... it just nails it

Cons

i'd like more custom fields but happy i can pay slightly more to unlock when it becomes a problem for us

GHL crm very poor. no way to link contacts - notes are a complete mess, eg all notes merged into one against contact so if you have more than one deal with a contact good luck you will have no chance|!|

### "Great value and functionality"

April 23, 2024

4.0

Pros

I am a sales consultant and have been looking for an affordable and powerful CRM. I think Bigin fits this need very well. Very affordable but has the power to do the things I need to implement to create a great tool and increase the sales team's productivity. I insisst that the CRM needs to be a tool for the team to do thier job better and I believe Bigin is exactly what I was looking for.

Cons

Data import of companies and contacts takes a bit of learning. It works, but take the time to understand how it does it.

### "A Solid Springboard for Small Business Email"

April 9, 2024

5.0

Zoho Begin is a fantastic starting point for small businesses and startups. It's easy to use, keeps your wallet happy, and has the essential tools to tame the email beast and nurture those leads. But, if you crave more advanced features, you might need to explore other options.

Pros

First things first, this thing is easy to use. No tech degree required, just point and click. Even my grandma (well, maybe not my grandma...) could probably figure it out. Plus, there's a free plan that's perfect for testing the waters before you dive in. The paid plans are budget-friendly too, which is a major win for a small business like us. And for the price, you get some cool features like automated emails (lifesaver!) and a system that helps you prioritize leads. Zoho Begin also plays nicely with other Zoho apps, which is a bonus if you're already part of the Zoho fam. Everything feels connected and streamlined. Not Quite Perfect

Cons

Now, don't get me wrong, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. Zoho Begin doesn't have all the bells and whistles of some other CRMs. If you're looking for fancy marketing automation or super detailed sales pipeline stuff, you might need to look elsewhere. Also, the integrations with other Zoho apps can be a bit tricky to set up. It wasn't exactly a walk in the park for our not-so-tech-savvy team.

### "Great product with easy to use features"

November 13, 2023

4.0

It was positive overall, but mostly to a really good product which seems basic but has plenty of feature to start with.

Pros

Easy to implement. We were up and running within 24 hours. It is easy to customize along the way as you see or need to make changes.

Cons

Service is lacking. While the product is easy to use, you will have questions and the service is offshore and very very spotty

Reason for choosing Bigin by Zoho CRM

Wanted to test the waters internally before making a larger investment of time and money with a more full featured product

### "We've launched our Agent Portal with Zoho Bigin"

April 14, 2024

5.0

This integration not only optimizes our workflow but also enhances our capacity to assist patients effectively. Follow our journey as we continue to innovate in the medical tourism space.

Pros

We've launched our Agent Portal, a key development in Global Medical Trip's quest to streamline medical tourism. Our aim to recruit 100 agents demanded a cost-effective, efficient system for handling patient inquiries. Our platform of choice, Zoho, offered a solution that fit our needs perfectly: Zoho Bigin.

Cons

This tool seamlessly integrates with our CRM, providing a robust environment for agent operations. Within a day, we set up Zoho Bigin, enabling our first agents to connect to the platform and start processing patient requests. This quick setup underscores our commitment to providing fast, reliable medical tourism services.

### "the best crm for startup's!"

July 6, 2023

5.0

So far I and my team have become very comfortable with bigin.

Pros

I have been using Zoho for 15 days and can claim it is the most user-friendly CRM/ sales management tool for startups, with a lot of productivity features like I-MAP for emails, and great templates. If I had a query in the first few days the team is very responsive and proactive in supporting you. Highly recommended product for sales teams.

Cons

It would be nice if onboarding can be done in the trial perios.

So far so good, fast end easy upgrade from using spreadsheets for everything. Great next step to operational excelency :-)

Pros

Modern, simple solution with great Zoho ecosystem.

Cons

It's simplicity has it's dark side - only 5 entities may block us in the near future and force us to full Zoho CRM. I miss good connector with PowerBI.

### "Great CRM for a growing small business"

March 6, 2024

5.0

Enjoying it so far and looking forward to making it a key part of our business, and possibly expanding to Zoho products as we grow

Pros

I'd been using an older CRM for years and, as I'm transitioning to a new business model, we needed a modern CRM that would grow with us and not break the bank. I spent days researching and playing around with first a dozen CRMs, narrowed it down to three or four, and settled on Bigin. It had the cleanest UI and structure, a great feature set, and the opportunity to grow with Zoho as our business grows.

Cons

Sometimes I struggle to find the information I need or tools I need. I suspect I need time to get used to Bigin. The notes text field is inadequate. It needs to have at least bold, italics, bullets and numbering for me to be able to take quality, readable note

Switched from

[OnePageCRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/157679/OnePageCRM/)

OnePage was dated, confusing, and didn't have features we needed. It also had limited room for us to grow.

I am running a startup, eventually needed a tool to help me be on top of all pipeline tasks i am working on. when i tried Bigin i was overwhilmed with the amount of features availbel within the tip of my fingers and this is when i started to. use the web based through my laptop and started to exploit all its power.

Pros

Pros

Its price: meant for small businesses. Its ease of use. Automation features. Possibility to set up various pipelines, not only for sales but also for other operations (support, admin etc).

April 18, 2024

5.0

Pros

O Bigin é uma ferramenta simples e completa, com as funcionalidades básicas que qualquer vendedor precisa para gerenciar seu pipeline. Os recursos são os essenciais para a boa produção do time, o que ajuda o usuário a focar no que realmente importa.

Cons

O único contra frente a outros concorrentes é certa complexidade para carga massiva de oportunidades. Você precisa importar os contatos, depois exportar para pegar o ID único do sistema e a partir desse ID exportar novamente para abastecer o pipeline de negócios.

### "There is no better CRM program for small businesses"

March 14, 2024

5.0

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.

If they add Facebook Meta Business integration, Bigin will become the ultimate solution for small businesses.
