Fully integrated package with a lot of functionality, but requires extensive configuration and training
Pros and Cons
  • "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 user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming."

What is our primary use case?

We use Bitrix24 to maintain all our client contacts and project information. From a functional standpoint, I would say it has a lot of functionality. We're probably only using about 60% of it; we can do better. However, it requires extensive configuration and training.

What is most valuable?

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.

It's basically a fully integrated package.

There are sufficient alerts and communication. You need to configure it if you want the enhancements.

What needs improvement?

I believe it can be complex for basic usage.

We, as IT users and managers, need to invest more in training, testing, and utilizing the various functions, as well as introducing best practices. I believe it is how we, as users, interact with it.

Training and support are provided by Bitrix24 but it's all virtual

The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Bitrix24 for the past four years.

It's the most recent version because it's on the cloud and is constantly updated.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Bitrix24 is definitely stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The one we purchased is not scalable, but it is fully packaged. It is fully packaged and contains all of the functions we require.

We have fewer than 20 users in our company. We are a small company. It is widely used by everyone.

How are customer service and support?

We mostly communicate with them virtually, through a conference call, a virtual meeting, or an email. You have a support ticket.

They respond quickly.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We recently purchased a Cisco firewall. We are waiting for the equipment to arrive so we can configure the firewall and VPN to create our own privately controlled VPN.

We haven't put it to use yet. We're still waiting for the equipment. We only recently purchased it.

We used to have our own virtual VPN system. There was no firewall in place. We were reliant on broadband fiber-based services, but they proved prohibitively expensive. So we decided to go it alone.

Vox is one of Africa's service providers, and they have a full suite of fiber services. And they have the equipment and expertise to manage, configure, and maintain it there.

Many of our systems are hosted in the cloud. For the leading nonprofit, we use Google Suite and Microsoft Office 365, and Bitrix24 as a CRM. Our financial system is Xero accounting and Sage Accounting.

How was the initial setup?

It is very easy to set up. The basic setup is easy.

Deployment can take up to three months depending on the setup and end-user training.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I can't recall because we got it at a steep discount.

The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

I usually download a lot of documents for research purposes, to keep up with what's going on in terms of trends. After reading it, I keep track of some of the most recent strengths and compile a report for the non-profit organizations that we deal with.

We do not implement any solutions.

What other advice do I have?

There are numerous new products in cloud computing, some of which are truly excellent. I bought one in the last few months. 

You must conduct thorough research because once selected, you want your users and your organization to embrace and embed it. 

My advice is to conduct research and comparisons. And that's what we need over the next few years; we compared a number of products before arriving at Bitrix24. 

But I'm sure there are other better products out there that we should look into. 

However, once you've acquired the CRM or ARP, you're almost like locked into it.  If you want to change management or buy a new product, you must make a significant change.

I would rate Bitrix24 a seven out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Public Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

A highly efficient and scalable solution useful for patch management
Pros and Cons
  • "It is a very scalable solution...The tool currently operates efficiently and contributes to our ongoing digitization efforts, including documentation and workflows."
  • "In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution in our company for patch management and workflows. We are also planning to use it for managing PIM applications.

What is most valuable?

The workflows provided by the solution are one of its most valuable features.

What needs improvement?

While many companies use Bitrix24 for its CRM functionality, in our company, we use the solution primarily for workflows in applications, making it a database platform for us. In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement. Hence, we are looking for other products to help us scale up the use of workflows, which is very important for us in our organization since the people in the company are not very proficient with such solutions.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Bitrix24 for two years. Also, I am using the Bitrix24 On-premise Edition meant for enterprise users. I am a user of the solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a stable solution, and it is continuously being developed. So, Bitrix24 comes up with updates regularly.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is a very scalable solution. We have around 200 people in our company working on the solution. We have one main admin person and two or three admins in the supporting role to take care of the solution. Our company's plans to increase the solution's usage depend on its workflow functionality. Therefore, we are in the process of incorporating more digitized workflows. However, upon evaluating the UI performance, we have found it to be not so great. But, now we need to evaluate if there is anything more we need to discover.

How are customer service and support?

There are always issues with bugs in the solution, so whenever we encounter a bug, we try to find out how the bug got developed in the solution. Also, if there is anything in the documentation that is unclear, we need help figuring out the documentation part. I rate the technical support team a nine out of ten.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Since we have a SI working for us, that person was responsible for the initial setup process.

What about the implementation team?

In our company, we secured the reseller's help while trying to implement the solution. So, the reseller, First Mind Software Solution, has also helped us in the maintenance, setup phase, and upgrading process. The implementation process was done very fast. It was in two days.

What was our ROI?

The return on investment for the solution was very good despite not reaching the expected one-thousand users online. The tool currently operates efficiently and contributes to our ongoing digitization efforts, including documentation and workflows. The product helped our company save time, money, and labor. Our processes were streamlined, and we could continue working with the help of the solution. The real challenge is when the process gets too big and becomes less easy to manage.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution. My company had paid once for the licensing cost of the solution, which was also available online, and we paid about 25,000 USD. After that, we only had to pay 25% of the initial plan yearly, including the support and maintenance for the solution.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

Camunda and Pega's Vision are some of the solutions we are considering over Bitrix24 since, feature-wise, we considered their UI. However, we have to check and consider many more things like their knowledge transfer, knowledge base, and how they present instructions to their users. We also have to look at their data security, and they'll look at the other features. Most importantly, we need to check if they offer local support.

What other advice do I have?

I totally recommend the product to those planning to use it. They should probably try the subscription version before opting for the final product. It is always better to choose the on-premise version of the solution. Since it is not scalable and hard to manage workflows, I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

Has a good framework, stability, and workflow
Pros and Cons
  • "Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

Bitrix24 is deployed enterprise wide in our organization. Everyone has to use it whether they are working from home or on site. It's the primary mechanism for clocking in and out, and it is deployed on the cloud.

What is most valuable?

Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good.

What 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.

There are problems with assigning overtime for payroll purposes as well.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with this solution for two and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Bitrix24 has its own good framework and is very stable. It is a lot better than other solutions out there in terms of stability, and I would rate it at nine out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have conducted a test deployment for an organization with more than 3000 people, and it looks like the scalability is sufficient from a user perspective.

From a technical point of view, scaling to larger entities might be a challenge if documentation is needed in Arabic. Though the documentation is present in many languages, it is not in Arabic.

I would rate the scalability at seven out of ten from a technical point of view and at eight from a user-adaptability standpoint.

We have 300 users in our company and hope to increase usage in the future.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support staff are wonderful, and I would give them a nine out of ten. The community is very strong, and you get answers quickly.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

I did not perform the initial deployment, but it should not be too difficult. Because our team was not trained, the deployment took longer than a week.

What other advice do I have?

I've previously worked with Asana, and it has better team control than Bitrix24. The messaging interface is a little better, and you have better visibility into who is doing what. Bitrix24 is more of a need-to-know-basis environment.

If you are considering Bitrix24, my recommendation would be to have someone who understands Bitrix and is able to customize the solution to your needs. Overall, I would give Bitrix24 an eight out of ten.

Good integration, easy to use, and reliable
Pros and Cons
  • "The product is user-friendly."
  • "It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution mostly for tracking and also use a few of the extras as well. We track complete projects with this.

What is most valuable?

The solution works with other solutions if you need even more features. For example, Eclipse and wireframe tools that you can use for integration purposes. Definitely, there's a roadmap and project planning, as well as workflow charts that I can add and implement. Integration capabilities are great. 

The product is user-friendly.

It's a simple initial setup.

What needs improvement?

From a product tracking point of view, there could be improvements. If you compare Jira and Bitrix, definitely you just organize your product in a very similar manner. However, if you're talking about a specific product, the tracking tools need work on this solution. 

I just want to have a single dashboard. That would be ideal.

They should implement some wireframe tools and road mapping right in the product.

It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The product can scale. Sometimes I need more than ten to 15 of my teammates. It depends on the project requirements. However, you can scale as needed.

How are customer service and support?

We have yet to use the technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they would be.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We are using both Bitrix and as well as Jira. Both the tools are used right now with my team and then myself using them, especially for tracking and all kinds of extras.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple and very straightforward. 

I'm not sure how long the deployment takes. It depends on the project and the timeline. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I have a licensed version of the solution. We are not using a free trial.

I'm not sure of the exact pricing. Our account team handles those details. 

What other advice do I have?

We are a partner.

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. 

It's a better way to track our project, so that's why we are using it. Before using Bitrix, we were facing lots of problems. Now we have a complete visualizer product for projects.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

A very easy to use productivity tool, but needs to improve its stability
Pros and Cons
  • "It's a very easy-to-use product."
  • "The stability could be improved."

What is our primary use case?

We were using Bitrix24 to monitor how workers do their jobs. We collected information daily on what cases we worked on. When customers open tickets to us, I just enter the information. I don't know because HR collected information using the system and didn't share any information with us. They just told us if a certain person worked or not.

What is most valuable?

It's a very easy-to-use product. Because of that, it's very useful for the end user. I can access the solution on my phone or the website and give the information. I can easily use the plugins and other features daily. During the pandemic, we especially used this product while working at home because the company wanted to enter the information regarding check-ins during the worker's shift until checkout.

What needs improvement?

I would like it if the solution gave more information about how it can be used so that teams other than the HR teams using Bitrix can know how to use it.

Moreover, the stability could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution for three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Bitrix24's stability a seven out of ten. We had a couple of problems with the solution. Our internal team has problems with the database, and the solution crashes sometimes.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

If used correctly, Bitrix24 is a stable product. A hundred users use the solution.

What other advice do I have?

I rate Bitrix24 a seven out of ten. We often encountered issues, but I don't know if this was from late configuration problems or issues with the product itself. It caused problems for the end user.

Bitrix24 is a very useful product, but users must see their needs. However, I can recommend the solution.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

  • "There are some bugs in the mobile system."

What is our primary use case?

We use Bitrix24 for CRM and collaboration. It's a good fit for our purposes. We have about 50 employees using it at our company. We plan to extend it to our clients and partners, so we'll increase our user base to around 1,000.

What is most valuable?

What needs improvement?

There are some bugs in the mobile system.

I have been using Bitrix24 for about three months.

How was the initial setup?

The user experience is simple, but it's challenging from an engineering perspective.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I rate Bitrix24 10 out of 10 for pricing.

Most of the vendors that sell CRM systems are not as seamless as Bitrix25. It's easier for the salespeople to use, making it more effective for us. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate Bitrix24 eight out of 10 overall.

  • "The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
  • "We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."

What needs improvement?

The user community was not satisfied with Bitrix24. We didn't have the ability to customize.

We used this solution for about four years. It was deployed on cloud and hosted by Bitrix.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It was very stable and we didn't ever have a problem with it going down.

CRM with extended functionality including enhanced communication and automation
Pros and Cons
  • "We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."
  • "This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."

In future, I would like reporting to more simple and flexible.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using this solution for ten years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

We have experienced problems with stability but they are quickly solved with technical support
