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.
Nenad Pejcic - PeerSpot reviewer
Makes tasks like network planning and performance monitoring much easier
I have experience with solutions from other vendors like Nokia, Huawei, and Tyson. The main pros of Symphony, in comparison, are the modules that provide a comprehensive overview and the automation features for planning data. These aspects are notably beneficial and stand out. On the downside, the major cons revolve around user customization. Unlike other vendors where you can create your reports and customize navigation, Symphony's user optimization in the SCAP module is limited. This lack of flexibility is a significant drawback, especially when compared to other solutions. Overall, while certain modules like those related to SolarWinds are straightforward and comparable, Symphony falls short in terms of user customization.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"We use many of this solution's features for communication and for process automation. It offers more functionality than a regular CRM."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"It's a very easy-to-use product."
"We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."

Cons

"The support provided by Bitrix24 is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."
"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"We need full ERP integration to take all our processes in one platform."
"The stability could be improved."
"Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install."
"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"To improve the situation, enhancing the functionality for integrating with other applications and addressing ticketing issues is crucial."
"The solution is very expensive, and its pricing could be improved."
"The area that needs to be improved is modular asset management. When we are uploading the assets in bulk, it is not aligned."
"Compared to established vendors, it lacks user flexibility and customization, especially in the PM module."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Bitrix24 used to be cheaper, but now it's getting expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Bitrix24 offers an open-source option for small companies, but you can order a bigger range of services on a monthly or yearly contract."
"It is fairly an expensive product, but works for us."
"It's a costly product, but the number of available features justifies it."
"Symphony is expensive."
