    - Multiple pipelines let me organize processes like sales, marketing, customer support, and assets clearly. - The forms builder allows me to gather leads, sign-ups, and customer requests from my website directly into the Bigin by Zoho CRM. - Integrations with Zapier and Make connect website orders and data from other sources smoothly. - Email templates make it easy to send professional, branded communications. - Automations handle repetitive tasks like managing customers, orders, and team tasks, saving me time.

    1. Better understanding of customer choice and sales insights. 2. High chance that we can convert the lead into sales as SAP analyzes the customer's need and behavior. 3. As it analyzes the data behind the scenes, a better price deal closing is possible, as it gives that level of insight.

    Pros
    Zoho
    • Manage big databases. We have a large database of contacts and partners (more than 5,000 contacts), which are updated day by day, as a result of our participation in conferences, webinars, etc. For this reason, we needed a platform that would allow us to always have our database up to date, and accessible and editable by any member of the company.
    • Pipelines. Pipelines are very necessary in our daily lives, since we present many service proposals to different clients, and until now we control the status very manually. With Bigin by Zoho CRM, we can have all this information centralized in a single place, and know at all times the status of the service proposals we present (sent, pending decision, lost, won...).
    • Product definition. The product definition block has allowed us to further structure our typologies of products and services. At least, it has allowed us to reflect on them and what is the best way to package the service offered.
    • Control panel. The control panel has been very useful for us to be able to quickly see the main indicators (offers presented, next actions to be taken, etc.).

    • I love its ability to automate the entire sales process for us.
    • Another thing I love is how it combines data from different touchpoints to provide a 360-degree view of the customer.
    • What I like best about SAP Sales Cloud is the real-time analytics it provides for my organization.

    Cons
    Zoho
    • No multi-select bulk move in pipeline After a webinar we had 42 cold leads that qualified → wanted to drag them all to “Interested” in one go. You can’t; moved them one-by-one like playing Solitaire.
    • Workflows hidden behind pay-wall We needed an auto-survey when deal = “Won”. Works in trial, the day licence dropped back to free the rule simply stopped – zero warning.
    • Offline mobile = read-onlyMentor met founder in co-working basement (no Wi-Fi). Took paper notes, re-typed into Bigin back at office → duplicate risk.
    • Pick-list values can’t be deactivated, only deletedWe miss-typed “Refferal” instead of “Referral”. To fix, must delete; history of 60 old records then shows empty source.

    • One area of concern is the many data silos that are present within SAP sales cloud
    • While creating filters for accessing sales lead reports, the accuracy is missing sometimes.
    • The product is quite vast and a lot more learning material and knowledge base documents are required.

    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.

    SAP's customer service is quick and efficient, with a response time of fewer than some minutes. In either case, you'll get instant help from the vendor or online forums. In addition, the vendor provides excellent global support for this tool. Like Salesforce, SugarCRM, etc., it's probably fine as a standalone CRM option.

    I would rate the implementation a 7. While the process overall was successful, there were challenges related to data migration, integration with other systems, and initial user adoption. However, the support from SAP during the implementation phase was helpful, and we were able to resolve the major issues as the process progressed.

    We can effectively manage sales and achieve scalable segmentation and targeting with SAP Sales Cloud, all with little training required. The program is incredibly user-friendly and enables additional ERP system integration. The automated authorization system, which has made permissions management easier and can be implemented in the cloud by several cloud service tenants—each of whom is a cloud service provider—was something I really appreciated. For users who don't want to click on three links to launch each relevant CRM program, this is quite helpful.

    • Positive Impact: SAP Sales Cloud can lead to increased sales efficiency by automating manual tasks, streamlining workflows, and providing real-time access to customer data. This can result in sales teams spending more time on revenue-generating activities.
    • Negative Impact: The initial costs associated with implementing SAP Sales Cloud, including licensing, customization, and training, can be significant. If not managed properly, this may impact the short-term financials and the expected payback period.
    • Negative Impact: The comprehensive features of SAP Sales Cloud might result in a steeper learning curve for users. If not addressed through adequate training and change management, this complexity can temporarily impact productivity.
