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 data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good."
"Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"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."
"The most valuable features are data entry, the pipeline view with filters, and the automation capabilities."
"It is easy to use and very stable."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The data entry functionality is excellent, and the pipeline views and filters are highly useful."
"SAP is very easy to use."
"We are using the HANA Z database for CRM, which enhances the products we are currently using by making the system more efficient. Everything is connected to CRM, so we can use the data for analytics, sales forecasting, and data modeling."
"One of the main things is that the reports are very customizable. It is very easy and user-friendly to customize the reports the way the user wants. They can see the reports as per their expectations and change them accordingly."
"SAP CRM has a good performance."
"Once the lead is matured, you can convert it into an opportunity and you can track it by the opportunity based on the product segment."
"We get very good support from SAP."
"Getting the right information at the right time across different programs is important. These programs lack interaction between them. IPA is a good option to bring them together."
"We like that this solution has made our whole accounting function paperless."
 

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."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."
"The client interface is not very user-friendly."
"Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install."
"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."
"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."
"The solution needs more flexible customization, tender request, and they need to think about some of the localization aspects."
"The solution is slow."
"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."
"They could improve the product's analytics and reporting capabilities. Additionally, they could enhance its web interface speed."
"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."
"There is a lot of missing data and data latency issues between the different modules of SAP CRM, which creates a lot of problems."
"As SAP CRM is still in its pilot version in my company, and my team is still experimenting on it, there's little room for exploration, but its setup is not as straightforward, so this could be an area for improvement."
"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
"Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."
"Bitrix24 used to be cheaper, but now it's getting expensive."
"The pricing for this program is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
"SAP CRM is an expensive product."
"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."
"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
"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."
"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."
"The solution is expensive."
"There is a license required to use SAP CRM."
