Bitrix24

I switched to Bitrix24 from Zoho and Hubspot (yes, I used two services for different reasons) about a year ago. The free version gives you so much more than any other CRM. Some of the free tools I had last year are now paid tools but for the price, you still can’t beat it. I give them four stars because I think support should have an 800 number. Something’s can’t be solved via chat. Otherwise, this site is great for starts ups and rather young companies.

I have tried over a dozen productivity apps, websites, planners, you name it. Probably several dozen, if I’m honest. Bitrix24 does everything I need to organize my life and the myriad of roles I have (wife, mother, employee, boss, contributing member of society, daughter, etc.). This tool has allowed me to create recurring checklists (templates) which I use for routines throughout my day (morning routine, bedtime routine, etc.), as well as specific projects and tasks (college assignments, work projects, planning surprise parties, you name it). Plus I can assign tasks to people in my life (partner, kids, etc.). The monthly subscription is extremely worth it to me, but I also did enjoy the free version. I just wanted to create many dependencies between tasks. The numerous views for task reporting (Gantt, Kanban, list, planner) really give me options for how I best pull in info. The calendar view is super helpful, and integrating with my gmail calendar saves my bacon all the time. I only use b24 for task and project mgmt, and to host one website. I barely scratch the surface of its power. This is a hidden gem.

After much searching, experimentation and disappointment I stumbled onto a program that actually works the way it says and even more. I use the free version and I am super appreciative of the amount of powerful tools available. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that needs flow amongst their multiple other apps. I don't experienced one minor issue but in light of the many other features it's barely worth mentioning. When I use the mobile app there are times when it's necessary for me to delete my profile and then re-add it in order to log. It adds about 30 additional seconds to my login but I'm just happy there's a mobile app!

Our office just installed this, and now we’re getting ready to move away from it, simply because of its alarming lack of ease of use. If there is a word that would sum up what I think of when I think of Bitrix24, it would be “Archaic”. It feels like a software that was developed by someone who had a good idea, but had horrible follow-through and did NOT listen to his customers. The UI on this app is nothing short of slow, clunky, outdated, and ugly. And can we talk about things like no access to the entire emoji stack, latency of the message appearing on your screen when sending a message? Information is scattered all over the place, making things confusing. New messages do not appear at the top, you have to scroll, notifications often do not want to go away, the video call feature DOES NOT work.

Finding Bitrix has been the best! Most effective tool we have implemented. Flawlessly track projects and tasks to make certain nothing gets left uncompleted. We are a small team and everyone has many responsibilities, Bitrix takes the stress of it. Our International associates can change the language to meet their needs. Mobile app sometimes won't let you clock out (Professional Version and yes it's worth it). No complaints otherwise!
