Using Capsule CRM, businesses can have a perfect CRM solution without the risk of being forced to pay on a monthly subscription basis. Compared to other customer relationship management apps, it has a wide range of unique features. Functional and cost-effective are the main advantages. Because we're a small company, its simplicity appeals to us greatly. For a limited time, start-ups can store up to 250 contacts in the free version. Capsule CRM is well-suited to Gmail and offers many other integration possibilities. Even though it lacks some more powerful CRM features, the Capsule platform makes up for this with a widespread list of integrations.

Pros
  • Zero-friction onboarding
  • Imported 200 Google-Sheet leads in under 5 min via copy-paste wizard; field mapping was drag-&-drop, no CSV-headache.
  • Email templates – yes, but the editor is limited.
  • Merge-tags work, yet you can’t drop in advanced HTML; our logo had to be linked from an external URL. On the plus side, a bulk send of 25 emails went through without a hitch and none landed in spam – big win for us.
  • Reports – fast but shallow.
  • The dashboard quickly shows “deals closed” and “average stage duration,” yet you can’t pull conversion rates by lead source without digging into an export. Good enough for the board, too thin for an analyst.
  • Automation – paywalled only.
  • We wanted Bigin to auto-send a survey when a deal moved to “Won,” but workflows are a paid feature. You can test them during the trial; once it expires it’s back to manual clicks.

  • Capsule is very easy to use. You can just jump in and learn as you go. There are advantages to really learning the ins and outs, but for those who aren't sold on a CRM to begin with it's good for just getting them started. It is what you make of it--you can use the most basic features or really dive in to the many functionalities.
  • The UI is clean and intuitive. We don't get easily overwhelmed while using it.
  • Capsule has a very robust contact management system. It allows for the generation of very specific lists within existing contacts, which is good if the user has to keep track of thousands of individuals and companies. There is a tagging feature that is great for further organizing contacts.
  • I like that there is a simple workflow option. I encourage the sales guys to make use of this "Tracks" feature, and they often do (but if they don't, it's not the end of the world, which is nice). It provides custom sets of tasks that are created as soon as you start an opportunity or a case.
  • Capsule has a LOT of integrations, which is great if you're looking to expand what you do with your CRM. We got Capsule just to keep track of the sales pipeline, but now that everyone's on board with the concept of a CRM (they weren't sold at first!) we can look into implementing more robust programs that can "talk to" Capsule.

Cons
  • I would like to link the same contact to more than one company.
  • I would like to be able to use only the name field, but I need to use first and last name
  • I would like to have a plan where there is no limit on the number of customizable fields

  • Its integration with Mail chimp is not smooth. Also, it does not allow to list contacts alphabetically which is a great downside of this tool. It does not contain some essential marketing features.
  • It needs to improve the user interface and make it more productive especially on the calendar view.
  • The contact sorting is quite disappointing. It would be nice if it allows users to set screen filters.

Bigin has really helped us with selling our monitoring services to our customers, which is primarily farmers in the UK. We often need to talk to customers before, during and after a sale, and Bigin helps us keep our contacts and leads organised as we track all these interactions. We recommend it very strongly

Support Rating
The support is all international and it takes a while to get support as you have to go through chats and set up times, not as easy to just call and get the support you need. They are very nice when you do finally connect with someone and they are knowledgeable, just challenging being international sometimes.

Capsule CRM effectively specifies the causes of any project's disadvantage and problem-solving. This application is effortless because of its genuine approach to business empowerment. Everything is easily accessible with a single click. Our clients will appreciate our technical and user-friendly promotions. Furthermore, it is well worth our company's time to run.

Delivers huge value at a fair price.

  • Easy to signup and ease of use for small business use cases.
  • Non-aggresive (a good thing) sales team helps clients try it out at their own pace.
  • Only the key important featuers are visible on the screen which matter. Helps with lesser confusion with carry out simple tasks.
  • Free plan is one of the best on offer to try it out.

Return on Investment
  • Reaching more possible customers quickly and with less effort. The fact of being able to automate sending to our contact database, which has previously been tagged and categorized, has allowed us to send information in a more agile way (previously we simply used Outlook, without any type of automation).
  • Automatically consulting all the email history you have with any of the contacts has allowed us to be more efficient and avoid duplication in communications.
  • The process of implementing and integrating Bigin in our company, although it was not difficult, we found some difficulties to synchronize the database loaded in Bigin by Zoho CRM with our Office365 account.

  • Capsule CRM software not only interprets with resource planning but maintains the customer relationship at its peak.
  • This software is altogether a big package to promote and control the business movements on a high scale
  • This application tends to work with all versions but, there is no plan to cop up with the R13 version so, the latest version should have all effects to compensate for the business dealings.
