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 ----- ### "Simple, practical, and easy to adopt" — 5.0/5 > **Juan Luis** | *4 July 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What we like most about Bigin is that it keeps things simple. At JLP GLOBAL, we needed a CRM that could help us organize leads and follow ups better, without adding a lot of complexity to our day to day work. Bigin has been very easy to understand and use from the start. It gives us a clear view of where each lead is, what needs to happen next, and who needs follow up. We also think the price makes a lot of sense for what it offers. For a small team that wants to be more organized without paying for a heavy CRM, it has been a very good fit. > > **Cons**: What we liked least is that some integrations and automations take more trial and error than expected, especially when working with external tools. The CRM itself is simple, but some setup details can be less straightforward than they should be. Also, if you want very advanced workflows, you may need a bit of patience to get everything working the way you want. Still, for our needs, this has not been a major problem. > > Our overall experience with Bigin has been very positive. We have been using it for several months at JLP GLOBAL, and it has helped us bring more order to our lead management and follow up process. Before Bigin, part of our workflow depended too much on manual tracking. With Bigin, we now have a much clearer way to see our pipeline, keep track of conversations, and make sure leads do not get forgotten. What we appreciate most is that it feels practical. It does not try to be overly complicated, and that has made adoption much easier for our team. For us, it has been a smart and cost effective solution. ----- ### "Simple and Efficient CRM for Small Teams" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: User-friendly interface, easy lead management, and seamless integration with other Zoho tools—making it simple to track deals and organize customer interactions efficiently. > > **Cons**: Limited advanced features and integrations compared to full CRM platforms, and customization or reporting options can feel restricted for growing teams. > > My overall experience with Bigin by Zoho CRM has been good. It’s simple to use, helps manage leads and sales pipelines efficiently, and is ideal for small teams, though some advanced features are limited. ----- Page: 1 / 31\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/392397/bigin-by-zoho-crm?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/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
