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.
Bruno Spiazzi - PeerSpot reviewer
Good solution for controlling company processes
Our primary use case for SAP is as a principal company system and it's relatively easy to understand our process in the system. It's quite easy to analyze the configuration and make other operations make custom accounts for the application. In my opinion, it's a good experience I don't have a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is easy to use and very stable."
"Initially, Bitrix24 improved the way we operate because we were not previously using a CRM. Before Bitrix24, we tracked everything through Outlook. Now, we have a tool that will automatically put out reports for us."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
"The data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"The solution assists us in identifying what to send, what to offer, and what customers are buying."
"The primary use case for us is lead creation and data management."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"Compared to other systems, SAP CRM has been reliable, stable, and cost-effective for us."
"The solution is easy to use."
"What I found most valuable in SAP CRM is its multitenancy, and you can use it from your website, SMS, and even social media, and it's all integrated, so my company is trying to leverage on all of those."
"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility to consolidate the products."
"SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."
 

Cons

"The client interface is not very user-friendly."
"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"There is a need for better integration with ERP solutions."
"There are some bugs in the mobile system."
"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."
"In my opinion, everything needs improvement. It all starts with the user experience. It's extremely difficult to use, it's always lagging, It doesn't look particularly appealing, in terms of how it looks, and it is extremely difficult to locate the stages."
"In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"Previously, the SAP CRM used to use simple servers, but now SAP uses HANA. The problem with the HANA databases is their interoperability with other solutions. SAP CRM could improve by working better with other solutions."
"SAP CRM could improve by making the solution more current, it is out of date. There are no more updates for SAP CRM."
"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."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"It was not very stable. It was not a network problem because we were using tools that were not SAP. They were working well. But when I'm running the SAP, it's not working for us."
"SAP CRM could improve by being easier to use and customer-friendly."
"There is no scope for integration because SAP does not allow any personal integration."
"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."
"The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."
"The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."
"Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution."
"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
"I use the free version. I sense that my company will need a license for the solution in a few months to use some features like lead management."
"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
"SAP CRM is not suitable for smaller businesses because it is expensive. The larger businesses would be able to handle the cost."
"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."
"SAP CRM is an expensive solution and is the most challenging aspect of the solution."
"The licensing model for SAP CRM is customer-based."
"The product is expensive."
"Its price is reasonable. As compared to other CRMs, this CRM is competitively priced. They have multiple flavors with different sets of functionality. Pricing is based on the flavor that suits your requirement. If you have more users, the cost will come down."
"The solution is expensive."
"As for the product licensing, we pay an annual fee. It's important to consider setup costs and licensing based on your organization's budget and needs."
