Another major challenge we faced was team adoption. With BIGIN, that completely changed. It offers exactly the right set of functionalities to track our daily activities, and my team found it extremely easy to use. The support has also been outstanding—whenever I’ve needed help, the support widget has provided quick and effective solutions. Highly recommend BIGIN to any team looking for a simple yet powerful CRM\! > > **Cons**: As such there are no negatives about the platform. All the functionalities work well - If I did have to point out something then maybe the fact that the mobile version doesn't have a couple of filters - which again is not a deal breaker. > > Overall experience has been great\! It is value for money - helps manage my teams pipeline and have a single platform to manage all my leads and team performance. ----- ### "Can't fault Bigin - it works straight out of the box\!" — 5.0/5 > **Deccy** | *12 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bigin is a really simple, highly intuitive CRM, ideal for small businesses who are looking to roll out an easy to use product that just works. There's a learning curve as you'd expect but it's minimal. Bigin comes with an extensive suite of ready to go pipelines or you can custom build your own - either way, you could be up and running in order an hour. > > **Cons**: I haven't found any downsides yet as we're still only starting out - maybe they'll come in time. I guess being one of the lesser know CRMs, Youtube tutorials aren't as plentiful as you'd hope for but that said, it's not really that difficult to figure out how to do most things. > > As a small construction business that had struggled with spreadsheets / emails / whatsapp messages etc, Bigin has given our company a single 'point of truth' for our sales / installation teams which has resulted in fewer things falling through the cracks. This in turn leads to a better customer experience overall - exactly what we were looking for. ----- ### "Value for Money" — 3.0/5 > **Sanjay** | *10 October 2024* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Custom Fields are very helpful to customize > > **Cons**: Slow refresh rate while going to different modules > > Value for Money considering overall features ----- ### "Proper CRM without Overhead Costs" — 5.0/5 > **Tate** | *28 April 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bigin delivers everything a small business needs from a CRM at a fraction of the cost of the big players. It's intuitive, quick to set up, and the team was up and running in no time. > > **Cons**: Some of the more advanced features you'd find in enterprise CRMs aren't there, but honestly that's the tradeoff for the price. For what we need, it more than delivers. > > We needed a proper CRM without the overhead costs that come with most platforms. Bigin lets us stay organized, manage our pipeline, and keep the team aligned — all without breaking the budget. For cost-conscious small businesses, it's hard to beat. ----- ### "“The Complete 2025 Review: How Bigin by Zoho CRM Empowers Small Business Sales Teams”" — 5.0/5 > **Wong** | *9 October 2025* | Commercial Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: WHAT IT DOES WELL 1. Ease of Use \& Fast Setup - It has an intuitive UI, clean pipelines, and small teams can get started quickly. - Less learning curve compared to more feature-rich CRMs; up and running in less than an hour. 2. Affordable Pricing - For microenterprises or mom-and-pop stores, Bigin offers a lot of essential CRM functionality at lower cost vs “full” CRMs. - There is a free plan (with limitations), and paid plans that add more pipelines, workflows, records etc. 3. Pipeline-based Sales Tracking - Visual pipelines (drag \& drop deal cards) are yells of ‘Way to go\!’ - Good for tracking leads, contacts, deals, reminders; light automation for repetitive tasks. 4. Mobile \& On-the-Go Functionality - The mobile app works well for me and my users. Helps us as small teams stay in touch with deals when away from desk. 5. Simple Integrations - Integrates well with other Zoho apps and with Gmail etc. > > **Cons**: LIMITATIONS 1. Limited Features / Customization - As we scale up, or if we have more complicated processes, Bigin may feel restrictive. Features that we find lacking include: more advanced workflow automations, complex reporting, cross-filters, deeper customization of stages. - Once our needs grow, we need to move to full Zoho CRM. 2. Integration Constraints - While integrations exist, non-Zoho or less common tools sometimes are harder to connect or have less reliable syncs. - Glitches with Gmail add-on or with email/web-form integrations. 3. Automation Limitations - Automation is more basic: recurring tasks are simple, fewer triggers/conditions, less sophisticated rules. For example, stage transitions, automated follow-ups have constraints. 4. Onboarding Can Vary - Onboarding is less than ideal. Sometimes slow, reactive rather than proactive. - A few bugs/glitches or reliability issues appeared (e.g. missing form submissions, contacts disappearing) though not universal. 5. Scaling Up is a Challenge - If a venture has many users, many pipelines, or complex data, Bigin may not suffice long-term. Moving up to Zoho CRM or other robust CRMs may eventually be needed. > > Bigin by Zoho CRM tends to be a good fit when: - You are a small team (2-10 people) or startup. - You need basic CRM functionality (lead/contact/deal management, reminders, simple automations). - You want something you can setup quickly, and with minimal overhead (not a heavy IT project). - Price sensitivity is important. - You mostly work within simpler, linear sales pipelines rather than very complex, conditional processes. ----- Page: 1 / 31\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/392397/bigin-by-zoho-crm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/392397/bigin-by-zoho-crm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
