Zoho Developer at KG CRM Solutions LLP - Zoho Authorized Partner
Has supported lead and deal tracking for small businesses but lacks deeper customization options
The pipeline management has helped to streamline the sales processes in that I can develop the business pattern where we can send automated emails and automated calls at different stages. For example, when a lead enters a system, we can automatically generate welcome emails. Once any modification in the lead is done, such as when it's qualified, we can send them qualified emails or acknowledgment emails based on the business pipeline. This user-friendly interface has helped my customers adapt quicker to Bigin by Zoho CRM as, after customization or completion of the project, I will make a Loom video to train the clients through the sessions, and through the Loom videos and SOPs, they can adapt easily to Bigin by Zoho CRM. They can also adapt to all the applications.

Integration across functionalities has streamlined business operations and improved cost efficiency
Odoo's documentation needs improvement, as there are areas that are not well-documented. Additionally, some underlying technologies need refactoring to more modern structures. Although it's not immediately necessary since the system works, changes to the architecture would be beneficial. From the transition from version 17 to 19, it appears they are aware and have begun addressing some of these concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Bigin by Zoho CRM, we spent about a week for setup and within 15 days it was operational, requiring less than a month total for implementation."
"We can add users and products to the workflows."
"I rate Bigin by Zoho CRM nine out of ten."
"The pipeline management has helped to streamline the sales processes in that I can develop the business pattern where we can send automated emails and automated calls at different stages."
"The most valuable feature of Odoo is its payroll localization."
"What I appreciate most about this solution is its ease of customization compared to other products. Odoo is straightforward and simpler to customize. Additionally, it offers stability by decentralizing the entire ERP with multiple products, making management and support more efficient. Moreover, the availability of talent in India is a key advantage, as the salaries for Odoo professionals are relatively lower than SAP or Oracle ERP professionals. This makes it easier for us to find suitable talent for projects seamlessly."
"It allows us to organize and improve portfolio management."
"The product is stable...The product is scalable."
"The most beneficial feature of Odoo is its wide community and store, allowing users to purchase solutions and resolve any problems quickly."
"Odoo is highly scalable."
"Being open source, it is more affordable compared to alternatives like Oracle or SAP, and I appreciate how easy it is to customize with the available sources."
"The versatility of Odoo is one of its most valuable features for business productivity. It offers modules for purchase, inventory, manufacturing, sales, help desk, timesheets, point of sale, email marketing, and more, which can greatly benefit businesses."
 

Cons

"Zoho CRM needs to incorporate HRM."
"The user interface is too modular and fragmented, posing challenges. The UI could be much better by the year 2025."
"Their commercial model based on slabs is not easily comprehensible. The sales representatives should be better equipped to explain the slab structure in a simpler manner."
"Bigin by Zoho CRM is a very limited application; we cannot customize it as we want."
"They could thoroughly study the market dynamics of different regions and connecting areas."
"The price of the solution could be reduced to improve the overall offering."
"The range of choices and functionalities has space for enhancement."
"Currently, the regional office is in Dubai, and I believe it would be beneficial to establish a regional office in Pakistan to enhance support and accessibility for users in our country."
"It's too early to make a definitive statement about Odoo as we are currently in the implementation stages. Once the implementation is complete and the system is up and running, we'll be able to provide feedback on its effectiveness and suitability for our needs. The implementation is very straightforward, and the system is easy to operate, similar to working with a spreadsheet. If there's one thing that could significantly enhance the system, it would be incorporating more AI capabilities."
"Odoo can invest in improvements, considering areas like AI and ML, where there are shortcomings."
"The performance can be slightly improved for the customization interface."
"Odoo’s asset management, supply chain, and advanced manufacturing should be improved."
