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.
GodfreyNoel - PeerSpot reviewer
Excellent user experience with ease of use and reliable technical support
When SAP CRM does the maintenance, it can take a long time, which can impact business continuity because we have to wait for the maintenance team to finish their work. Maybe if SAP could establish how you can access the tool using a cloud-based environment that would be virtualization, that would be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
"I believe that having one system that handles all of the functions that we need in a business, such as marketing, sales, pipeline management, project management, meetings, customer contact, customer feedback, social media integrations, and connections to our cloud data storage, Google, and Microsoft, is a good idea."
"Offers, a free version."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"The most valuable features are data entry, the pipeline view with filters, and the automation capabilities."
"We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The data entry functionality is excellent, and the pipeline views and filters are highly useful."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"I have found the most valuable feature of the SAP CRM system is its ability to integrate with other modules. SAP CRM is all about integrating with other modules. For example, SuccessFactors is their learning management. This is one use case that SAP CRM themselves use. Their lead generation versus their sales from their educational services. You can instantly receive insight into how many leads have been generated and how much it turned into real business or revenue for them. I was told in one of the seminars that the data transfer from the lead generation to sales is only 24 hours in SAP CRM."
"The solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations."
"The product integrates with third-party tools easily."
"I have found the sales reporting feature specifically useful as it provides reporting and visualization which helps in decision-making. I use this to understand where to improve, which in-turn, helps generate sales."
"The user interface is excellent."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
 

Cons

"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."
"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."
"The client interface is not very user-friendly."
"In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."
"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."
"The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"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."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
"The tool's installation on the cloud takes time, but it should be easier. One transaction takes around one to one and a half hours."
"SAP must provide a demo system for the customers."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
"What I see as a challenge against our competitor is that Salesforce comes with more flexibility, for enhancement purposes, whereas the SAP CRM Cloud is more robust and rigid. It's not flexible to implement any bespoke solution."
"The B2C features of SAP are strong, but they are not very known to the public and companies. They must make it more known for B2C applications or B2C use cases."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"They have recently updated their user interface but they should continue to improve upon it in the future. Additionally, overall performance or speed of response times could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."
"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
"Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."
"The pricing for this program is reasonable."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a seven or eight out of ten."
"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
"The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."
"Bitrix24 is a cheap tool. I think our costs are somewhere between $1,000 and $5,000 per month. There are no additional costs with it. We did put in some hours to clean up some project-related stuff in it, but it was not much."
"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."
"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"SAP CRM is an expensive product."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"Every user needs to have a license."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
