Major limitations of Capsule CRM

Lack of extensive
pipeline management

Pipelines can help visualize your entire business process and track every deal by prominently displaying the most important information. With Bigin's adaptable pipeline management system, you can create multiple pipelines so you can manage and boost the operations of all your teams—from marketing to sales to finance.

No built-in phone system

Capsule CRM doesn't feature its own phone functionality. With Bigin's built-in telephony, you can make, receive, and record phone calls without leaving your CRM. It maintains a comprehensive call history, along with any notes you've taken during the call.

Limited automation

Basic automation functions like workflows are only available in Capsule CRM's paid plans, which will cost you upwards of $36 per user/per month/per year. On the other hand, Bigin provides all users with the ability to automate repetitive yet integral tasks.

Unimpressive analytics and business reports

Whereas Capsule CRM's reports are only available to paid users, Bigin enables you to track everything—from the activities each user has completed each month to the overall revenue generated—across all plans. Additionally, you can integrate with Zoho Analytics for a more advanced and detailed data analysis.

The Bigin team at Zoho has brilliantly solved the software adoption dilemma faced by sales organizations today. Now, with the ability to customize pipeline views, stages, module names, and fields, the moment one of our salespeople starts using the app, it simply works, and they love using it. It requires virtually zero training. In today's environment, the importance of simplicity, focus, and ease of use cannot be overstated, and the team at Bigin has just delivered a world-class tool.

Zoho Bigin was easy for us to use from the very start. Within a couple of weeks all users were able to use most features and benefit from them. Quick training and implementation from the Zoho Bigin support team was helpful. Users was immediately able to see the benefit to themselves, to their teams, and to the company as a whole. All this is the value we derive from this very comprehensive, easy, and intuitive application that we use on a daily basis.

Bigin is easy to use for a growing organization like Ammacus. The platform is very intuitive, saves time when it comes to entering duplicate information, and has saved us many hours in lost productivity. As an early adopter of Bigin, we look forward to continued new applications and developments to make the platform even better than it is today. In addition, we have received fantastic client support when it was required.

I have been looking for a simple CRM for the last three years. During that time, all I found were apps with way too many features that came with a hefty price tag. When I started using Bigin, I loved how easy it was to use, and that it had a clean and organized interface. One of the best things is that they made it affordable. I look forward to seeing how Bigin evolves and helps me run my business better.

Love the new features. It helps make the entire CRM system more personal and germane to our workflow. The searches seem to be more pointed and concise. Bigin has the capabilities and customization for my growing business and no bloat to clutter my process. Overall, Bigin was the perfect option for what I need.
