Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product is user-friendly.""The data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good.""The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now.""We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM.""Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good.""It's a very easy-to-use product.""Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible.""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."

More Bitrix24 Pros →

"Provides an overall picture, it gives you the ability to store your capex, capital and expense budgets, on projects.""Clarity PPM's strongest features are project and resource management.""Transparency and just having the ability to procure information that is pertinent.""It has improved communication vertically, with some amount of data to be able to show that more resources are necessary, or why projects aren't moving as fast as management would like. That sort of communication makes my job a lot easier.""It has been able to collect all the data, and in some ways, provide dashboards of aggregated data. ​""It makes it easier to compare different opportunities, and to track the metrics though the process. It helps us make better choices of which opportunities to go after and not go after.""Upgrades were pretty straightforward. CA took care of everything, we just did the testing.""Broadcom Clarity PPM's most valuable feature is the plenty of modules, such as portfolio, project, resource, and time."

Cons
"The client interface is not very user-friendly.""We didn't have the ability to customize the solution.""Compared to Microsoft, we found Bitrix24 a little complex because it's new to us, and we don't understand it much.""Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install.""This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live.""The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved.""The user interface could be improved or simplified. When you log in and see so many functions, it's a little overwhelming.""Our financial department does not use Bitrix24 because it's not good for the sort of work they do. So, once we create an invoice in Bitrix24, we sent it to the client and the financial department and they enter it separately into their system. This is not great for us since we can't track what happens after a sale."

More Bitrix24 Cons →

"We're looking at adding the Agile piece to it. I want to make sure that that integration is very smooth.""It would be good for them to work on the user interface to make it more interactive.""Look and feel of the user experience.""Setup could be made easier.""The architecture must be improved.""When we upgraded to 15.1, we had some challenges around Jaspersoft, and also some issues with supporting some of the complex process work flows that we had designed internally, that were affected by some changes in the process engine.""I think user-friendliness is the key. Right now it's really clunky. We're also looking to upgrade, but an upgrade is not going to fix everything. The new UX is good, but there are still a lot of limitations. Once they work through those kinks and get those limitations removed, we'll be able to upgrade.""​Maybe we need to bring some financial executive reports to our directors and executives. Maybe we can improve the use of Jaspersoft.​"

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The pricing for this program is reasonable."
  • "We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."
  • "Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."
  • "The cost is $2,500, which will be spread out over 18 to 24 months."
  • "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."
  • "Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution."
  • "Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
  • "The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."
  • More Bitrix24 Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "For all the functionalities of the solution, the price is in the market range, since it is a product which offers governance issues and supports the digital transformation, which is where we will go in the next year."
  • "Better understanding of requirements and how it will be implemented (with number of licenses for a given budget) would help."
  • "It is a little bit costly compared to others, but it is mature. Customer should understand this product is geared towards project management, not financial management."
  • "It is hard for them to say, "I have a person on my team who is going to be available, I am going to move that task to them". That requires a project management license, it doesn't require a team member license, so the licensing model does not sometimes support the way the business world is going."
  • "We're also moving to the latest version for less than $20,000 for a major corporate system. It's just amazing."
  • "Broadcom Clarity PPM costs us $500K, and that's only for the installation and kick off within the first year. For each succeeding year, it could cost $200K."
  • "There are different licensing models with Broadcom Clarity PPM. With the software as a service model, you pay as you go, and if you are on-premises, you can buy a perpetual license and an annual fee for maintenance."
  • "Cost-wise, the tool is very expensive and some tools might be able to cater to 80% of the functionality provided by Broadcom Clarity PPM but are not as expensive."
