Zoho Bigin was easy for us to use from the very start. Within a couple of weeks all users were able to use most of the features and benefit from them. Quick training and implementation from the Zoho Bigin support team was helpful. Users were 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 comprehensive, easy, and intuitive application that we use on a daily basis.
