Vivek_Kumar@ - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Useful employee and client monitoring, reliable, and good online support database
I would encourage people to use this solution. Sage CRM is effective because it allows for all communication, transactions, cases, opportunities, and leads to be accessed by team members. This means that even if an individual is absent, the team can still respond to clients, customers, or suppliers in a timely manner. As a result, there is a high level of efficiency in decision-making and time management with the use of CRM. It is highly flexible. I rate Sage CRM an eight out of ten.
