"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."

"It is easy to use and very stable."

"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 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."

"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."

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

"The features for low-code and no-code capabilities in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are among the best, which are very user-friendly and not seen in any other cloud services, such as S3 from AWS and blob storage from Azure."

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

"The level of stability is good."

"The solution is scalable. You can do both horizontal and vertical scaling."

"The most valuable features for us are their document management list and hybrid forms. and We also use third party ad-dons to achieve workflows and other recent apps."

"It's a very robust product."

"The most valuable feature is that it is very usable. I can navigate it, I can have a media call, I can have a call with my project team, so we can chat with every team kind of like WhatsApp. Any time there are projects or other things, we can chat in a secure way. It's automation-specific secure."

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

"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."

"In my opinion, everything needs improvement. It all starts with the user experience. It's extremely difficult to use, it's always lagging, It doesn't look particularly appealing, in terms of how it looks, and it is extremely difficult to locate the stages."

"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."

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

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

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

"Workflows could be simplified."

"It is a bit restrictive to develop in the cloud version. A lot of features are in the cloud now, and you have to develop on the outside. As far as the platform and the programming side of things are concerned, it is moving more towards configuration management rather than programming. When we are doing solutions, we are basically just configuring it to make solutions happen rather than actually using the Visual Studio code and developing from scratch in the cloud. It is almost like creating an app. You have created an app for your phone, but the app doesn't really sit on your phone. It sits somewhere on a server, and the database sits on another server. The app is just pulling and pushing information. The whole development has changed. We used to install things directly on the server and then run the application from the server. Now, it is more of a modular architecture."

"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 ability to preview files in different formats should be expanded to include formats such as embedded postscript (EPS), AutoCAD, and Adobe Acrobat PDF."

"Technical support could be improved. They are not fast enough, especially when we'll go deeper in the product itself. More complex issues make it very tough to find someone that can help you."

"Making it more intuitive could help teams adopt it faster and use it more effectively by being more user-friendly."

"The document management features of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server are not very good compared to OneDrive."

"Bitrix24 used to be cheaper, but now it's getting expensive."

"Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution."

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

"We were using the free version which was really limited in terms of functionality."

"Licenses are cheap compared to other solutions."

"The pricing for this program is reasonable."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."
