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.
Cristina Neri - PeerSpot reviewer
Cheaply-priced and does not require much customizations
It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten. At the moment, the tool functions quite well for our needs. Around five people use the tool. In the future, my company might plan to increase the use of the solution. Currently, all the sales people in our company use the product.

Pros

"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."
"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."
"The most valuable features are data entry, the pipeline view with filters, and the automation capabilities."
"Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"The data entry functionality is excellent, and the pipeline views and filters are highly useful."
"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"One of the most valuable features is the ability to divert deals based on the potential revenue or specific market to certain sales teams."

Cons

"Compared to Microsoft, we found Bitrix24 a little complex because it's new to us, and we don't understand it much."
"Bitrix24’s interface needs to be improved."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"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."
"There are some bugs in the mobile system."
"In our organization, we feel that the UI and the functionalities for workflows in the solution need a lot of improvement."
"The solution’s performance could be made faster."
"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve the user experience and leads capture."
"We can use only one domain in the basic package."
"The reporting for this solution across all their products could be improved. Currently, we have clients who export their data from Freshservices to third party solutions such Power BI to create more comprehensive reports."
"The licensing costs should be based on the amount of data and number of clients that one can insert into the application."
"It lacks customizability for complex and larger use cases."
"The price of this solution could be improved as well as the reporting functionality."
"We have a problem with the time to delivery for our customers, although this is not specific to this solution. Time to delivery can be 90 days."

"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."

"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."
"If one is a very low price and ten is expensive, I rate the product price as a three."
"The tool is not that expensive."
