## Reviews

### "Amazing business management tool" — 5.0/5

> **Josue** | *3 September 2024* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Super easy invoicing, great dashboard, beautiful looking templates
> 
> **Cons**: Not very powerful time tracking and general navigation is a little slow
> 
> It's been very good\! Bonsai has taken the headache out of invoicing and financial management. I know what money is due when and from who, all with automatic reminders and overdue interest accrual. Their support has also been extremely helpful :)

### "Bonsai is the easiest CRM I've ever used\!" — 5.0/5

> **Lauren** | *25 September 2024* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Bonsai is user friendly yet it has all the necessary features and is uncomplicated.  I am able to integrate the needed applications to conduct business and keep everything in one place.
> 
> **Cons**: Bonsai integrates with my google calendar and gmail.  This allows me to use it to send/receive emails and to schedule, however it doesn't allow me to view my calendar or email box.  This is not as much of an issue regarding emails but having to navigate outside of the program for the calendar is not the best functionality. The other con is that I cannot preview the client portal as they see it; this function would make it simple to walk them through it when onboarding them (or to create a video doing so).
> 
> 9/10.  I just started my business and tried several other CRM platforms for days and got no where.  With Bonsai, I had my entire set up done in less than an hour. It's very intuitive and easy to use.

### "Digital market agency CRM" — 4.0/5

> **Balaji** | *16 October 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: sales automation, projects management, tasks management
> 
> **Cons**: lack of some feature on client portal, clients not sync with quickbooks

-----

### "So far so good\!" — 5.0/5

> **Daniela** | *8 July 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: one tool for all needs: CRM, Invoicing, scheduling. One stop shop.
> 
> **Cons**: I can't believe they charge extra for the tax solution when the whole differentiator is beingthis one-stop shop. Also, couldn't connect my bank account and credit card for expenses tracking.
> 
> So far so good. Love the UX, willing to giving it more time to try but maybe will have to switch to "rounded".
