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.

Customizable and flexible but user experience needs enhancement
Siebel is not user-friendly. There are so many tabs and different features that until it's explained to someone, they will not understand it. A user-friendly tool is supposed to be designed in a way where the user can log in and intuitively understand how to use it. People who use it regularly are still confused, and it requires a lot of clicks and is very difficult to navigate. Sometimes it takes a lot of time to reflect the correct information—even when it's updated, you have to refresh it again and again to see the right data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"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."
"Initially, Bitrix24 improved the way we operate because we were not previously using a CRM. Before Bitrix24, we tracked everything through Outlook. Now, we have a tool that will automatically put out reports for us."
"The product is user-friendly."
"Bitrix24 is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
"The data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good."
"Siebel CRM is used for distributing information between systems, trouble ticketing, and case management."
"The solution's order management pack is quite fantastic."
"It is quite robust and flexible. You can develop almost anything you want. You go into the tools, and you can do anything you want."
"Due to the many features that are built in from a CRM perspective, it is the best product we have."
"Siebel CRM has enhanced customer engagement for our organization, particularly through its robust data model and flexible features. One specific scenario where Siebel CRM excelled was in addressing complex client requirements. For instance, we successfully implemented a module for email responses, a feature that was not readily available or as robust as other CRM tools. Additionally, Siebel's open UI module allowed us to customize the user interface for one of our clients completely. This customization proved to be a major selling point for our company."
"The solution is scalable."
"Siebel CRM's most beneficial aspects are the workflows. It has complete holistic workflows for a customer management system."
"One valuable feature is that certain views can be adjusted as per our requirements, which adds a level of customization that is appreciated."
 

Cons

"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."
"We need full ERP integration to take all our processes in one platform."
"The client interface is not very user-friendly."
"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."
"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 open channel and contact center could be improved."
"The problem with Siebel is that everything is customizable in it. It's probably over-engineered, which makes it difficult to use, and it makes it difficult for the users to get started with the system."
"The documentation needs to be improved."
"The solution itself is very heavy."
"I want Oracle to improve the tool’s UI with a vanilla application. I would also like to see an insurance broking vertical in their future releases. There are thousands of brokers who look for an insurance broking solution."
"However, there are areas that this product has not evolved at par with global industry trends, including the UX/UI and cloud capabilities."
"The UI could be improved by being fully cloud native as this is what our customers are looking for. It would also be great to see what updates are coming up for release and for updates to take place automatically without manual intervention."
"The tool took a lot of time to deploy."
"It is difficult to set up."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product's pricing is okay for me. It is not expensive."
"Price-wise, it is a very cheap solution."
"The solution's pricing is quite average and not expensive."
"Bitrix24 used to be cheaper, but now it's getting expensive."
"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."
"The pricing for this program is reasonable."
"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
"This solution is expensive compared to other solutions in the market. This makes it difficult to convince our customers to use it. The customers who are already using Siebel have thought about moving to Velocity or Salesforce."
"The price of Siebel CRM depends on the usage of the business requirement. For large enterprises the price it's very good but if you are using it for medium scale enterprises, the price is very expensive."
"Its licensing is yearly."
"I think the tool’s pricing is exaggerated. Once you do the price sizing as per your business needs, you would find that the price of other solutions like Zoho CRM, HubSpot CRM, Salesforce CRM, etc. would be always the same."
"The product is expensive."
