Featured Reviews

Abasiakama Bassey - PeerSpot reviewer

A project management tool that offers great scalability and stability
The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement. From an improvement perspective, Bitrix24 should consider providing live and upfront support to its users, especially those who use the solution's free version. If you want someone to get on your platform for which you can't provide support, then it doesn't make that platform any different from its competitors. It would make sense to people if Bitrix24 could provide support for even their free version. It would be good if Bitrix24 added some accounting elements to the tool instead of just providing functionality related to bookkeeping alone since it can help Bitrix24 become a complete tool. During the setup phase of the solution, the tool should provide its users an option to add the accounting part, making it a complete solution.

Automation has boosted sales efficiency and improves follow-ups across multiple customer segments
The automation runs whenever a certain trigger point is met. For example, if the person details captured indicate they are interested in proceeding further, then when we update the particular field, it automatically goes to the next person at a higher level, and then the status gets changed. There are many features including recently enabled AI that gives a brief description to the contact person about what that particular promotion is about. There are also features like auto email getting triggered and marketing emails. All of those features are part of Freshsales.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Offers, a free version."
"The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."
"I am impressed with the solution's ability to customize workflows."
"Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"The most valuable features are data entry, the pipeline view with filters, and the automation capabilities."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."
"The data entry functionality is excellent, and the pipeline views and filters are highly useful."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its well-organized sales cycle, which is important to us."
"Freshsales is user-friendly, scalable and stable."
"Email integration is easy."
"Freshsales has impacted us positively; it has saved time, increased sales, and improved customer relationships."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."
"Freshsales is very simple to use, but it's fairly limited in its functionalities, and it's very cheap."

"The solution is a low-cost CRM product compared to other CRM alternatives."
 

Cons

"We need full ERP integration to take all our processes in one platform."
"Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install."
"The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."
"There is a need for better integration with ERP solutions."
"It's a team management tool, but the way the tasks are assigned and the way you are able to control them are lacking when compared to Asana or monday.com. The latter tools are a lot more adaptable to team management. Thus, better features to control the team are needed in Bitrix24."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"There are some bugs in the mobile system."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."
