Basic Bitrix24 advantages overview:

There are several key advantages Bitrix24 offers over Microsoft Sharepoint.

  1. In Bitrix24, you get a user limit for each plan, which means you can keep adding more users within the plan limit and still pay the same amount of money per month/year. Microsoft Sharepoint is totally different – there, you have to pay a separate subscription fee for every user, which adds up to your costs once you start growing as a company.
  2. Bitrix24 offers a complete set of business tools. That includes a built-in messenger, video calls, online file storage, calendar, tasks, business process automation, and more. No hidden fees, no additional charges and no need to spend money on other products – the subscription price that you pay is the final one.
  3. Bitrix24 offers top-tier social media integrations. In addition to connecting your company’s accounts and messengers directly to CRM, you can also collect data about their performance and generate leads automatically. Sales Intelligence allows you to get all the data about your marketing campaigns and advertising.
  4. Bitrix24 offers advanced telephony options. They can be used in both web version and your mobile device. You will never miss a call from your client, and all the data will be automatically collected in your CRM.

Sharepoint positioning:
