Major limitations of GoldMine

A minimum of three minimum users

GoldMine's restrictive policy forces you to buy their monthly subscription for a minimum of three users. If you're a solopreneur or a small business who's just starting out, this limitation will prove to be extremely expensive.

Hidden subscription fee

GoldMine's website does not have a pricing page. Instead, you have to contact them in order to get a quote for their CRM plans. Bigin is upfront about the cost and features included with each plan. What we promise is what you get!

No free trial

GoldMine doesn't offer any free trials and expects you to invest a large chunk of money in a product that may or may not suit your needs. On the other hand, Bigin offers a free trial of 14 days and a free edition, both of which have the essential features you need to run your business.

No extensive pipeline management features

Pipelines visualize your entire business process and prominently display important information, thus helping you track every deal. Bigin's pipeline management system is equipped to boost the operations of numerous teams and industries, whereas GoldMine CRM offers no such feature.

No built-in telephony

Interactions over the phone play an integral role in your journey, but GoldMine doesn't offer this native functionality. With Bigin's built-in telephony, you can make, receive, and record a comprehensive history of phone calls without leaving your CRM.

No dedicated mobile app

In this age of hyper-connectivity, you need to be prepared to run your business anytime, anywhere. Whereas Bigin's mobile app affords you immediate access to the all information you need and grow your business on the go, GoldMine CRM offers no such app.

Here's a list of features that Bigin offers for your business:

Multiple pipelines
  • Multiple pipelines
  • Workflow automation
  • Customizable dashboards
  • Built-in telephony
  • Integration with third-party apps

Trusted by 20,000 small businesses globally

As a small business with a big vision, having access to accurate and relevant data about customers and prospects is critical! Bigin and their onboarding team assisted us on our journey. The one-on-one onboarding sessions, easy-to-use platform and mobile application have been well received by our team - although we are early into using Bigin we are already experiencing the benefits!

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 organisation 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.

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.

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.
