"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."

"We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."

"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."

"We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."

"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 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."

"The product is user-friendly."

"Offers, a free version."

"It is a decent tool for collaboration, especially if you are already using other Office products."

"This solution has provided us with a collaborative workspace to allow everyone to work together and be on the same page."

"What I appreciate most about Microsoft Office SharePoint Server is how it centralizes information and collaboration in one place."

"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the fact that it doesn't require coding. You just need to configure it. You don't need to code before getting something running. It makes it very fast."

"The collaboration, the ability for multiple users to work on a single document."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is the Communication Site."

"The solution's most valuable aspects are its collaboration capabilities, its communications site and the innovation within the product itself."

"The support from Microsoft is very quick and they are very proactive."

"There are some bugs in the mobile system."

"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."

"The solution’s performance could be made faster."

"The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."

"Compared to Microsoft, we found Bitrix24 a little complex because it's new to us, and we don't understand it much."

"The client interface is not very user-friendly."

"We need full ERP integration to take all our processes in one platform."

"Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install."

"Sharepoint doesn't integrate well with Oracle, and we use a lot of Oracle products at our company. Therefore, it makes more sense for us to go to Oracle instead of continuing to use Sharepoint."

"The solution is like a CRM, so the initial setup is complex. It takes a few days to deploy the solution and the length of time depends on how large the company's topology is and what the client's demands are."

"Regarding the setup for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, I have to rate it lower, maybe a seven out of 10, as it is a little bit more complex and not so easy to use in some use cases."

"I would like to see more Agile techniques and seamless integration with other applications."

"Many of our customers would like to see an OCR feature, so it would be very good to have this in a future release."

"The product is behind in development and lacks some features."

"The GUI is outdated."

"Searching information internally in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server could be better because when we get a lot of information, it is difficult to find."

"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 pricing for this program is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."

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

"I use the free version. I sense that my company will need a license for the solution in a few months to use some features like lead management."

"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."

"Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."

"The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."

"It can be expensive for on-premises deployments, especially when you have to support SQL Server as your backend database. That's where the cost comes into play. SQL Server has its own licensing, which Microsoft keeps on changing. Therefore, it can become costly. In the earlier versions of SharePoint, version 2007 or 2010, they had an express version where the SQL Server licensing was free. It wasn't like a full-blown SharePoint. It was only a slimmed-down version. It used to be whatever your hardware costs. You would install the free software and work with it, but you were very limited in what you could do in SharePoint. If you wanted the SharePoint Enterprise Server with all the bells and whistles, then you had to pay more to get the SQL Server license based on the number of users or servers. The subscription model is different for cloud deployments. Licensing is per user and per month. The cost also depends on the storage required. If you have a lot of sites or documents, then you need to expand it based on your needs."

"There are some aggressive discounts offered by Microsoft for organizations that are not for profit, which we are, and it makes it quite attractive to consider."

"Pricing plans may be flexible depending on volume usage and your corporate relationship with Microsoft."

"One of the reasons why we don't recommend the cloud version of SharePoint is the cost. With the on premise version, you pay for the license once. For the cloud version, there is a recurring fee. It is very expensive. They expect everyone to pay $20 or $30 per user per month."
