### "Simple, practical, and easy to adopt" — 5.0/5

> **Juan Luis** | *04 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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;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.&#10;&#10;For us, it has been a smart and cost effective solution.

### "Chief Executive Officer" — 5.0/5

> **girish** | *24 June 2026* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: In our search for a value-for-money tool suitable for smaller scale operations, we conducted extensive analysis on several options. We are pleased to report that we found a splendid tool that not only meets our budget but also exceeds our expectations. &#10;&#10;The customer support has been exceptional, with prompt responses that provide clarity and concessions when needed. The support team even follows up with calls to ensure everything is clear. &#10;&#10;We are grateful to have a cohesive and comprehensive tool that has significantly enhanced our productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness.
> 
> **Cons**: can be simple and not feature rich&#10;only good for small to medium companies &#10;what s integration is poor
> 
> cohesive and best value for MSMS's &#10;satisfied and good &#10;adequate features &#10;easy to use no need for comprehensive training

> **Dee** | *25 February 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The layout and features are very user friendly and understandable. Being able to input new data and organizing into different categories.
> 
> **Cons**: The training curve and all the bells and whistles
> 
> It has been great, just adding in new clients and sales each day. Watching the pipeline build and numbers to review growth.
