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

"We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its project management functionality...It is a pretty stable solution."
"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."
"The most valuable features are data entry, the pipeline view with filters, and the automation capabilities."
"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."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"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 solution's contract management and product hierarchy features of SAP CRM are the most beneficial for our business operations."
"SAP CRM integrates well with SAP ERP which is useful."
"We use SAP CRM for customer service improvement. The main idea is to make sure our team has the right information when talking to customers. This helps them process things like price approvals for quotes faster. The goal is to make the product more efficient, and faster, and, in the end, provide better customer service."
"The platform is highly scalable."
"SAP is very easy to use."
"The user interface is excellent."
"SAP CRM is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"We need full ERP integration to take all our processes in one platform."
"The solution’s performance could be made faster."
"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"Bitrix24’s interface needs to be improved."
"The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."
"In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."
"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
"Our users are using it primarily from their laptop browser and very few are using it on their mobile because the mobile is not that user-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The navigation must be improved."
"CRM is costlier than its competitors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."
"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
"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."
"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 cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."

"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."
"The company has seen an increase in revenue."
"The product is expensive."
