Bitnami package for SuiteCRM

Shipped with Incompatable PHP
This version of SuiteCRM 8 is only compatible with 8.0 but is shipped with 8.1 rendering it pretty useless. Bitnami generally recommends deployig a new instance to change PHP version. Needs work.

I Don't Trust This Product
Whilst creating new users, I log in and out of multiple users to enter details and test credentials.
This breaks the app. Even rebooting the machine won't bring the app back to it's prior state; a huge problem. if the application can be broken by users logging in and out at random intervals then it is unusable.
I'm glad not to have found this out months into it's use, this could have been absolutely disastrous for my team.
Amazing Tool for Startups
We are using SuiteCRM by Bitnami for over 6 months and can't be happier.
If you are a startup company with a limited budget in need of a powerful CRM tool, then this is for you. Please note that you need to have basic knowledge of AWS and feel comfortable playing around with Unix command lines. We are managing our sales funnel, forecast reports, creating email campaigns, making custom quotes and invoices, ... all within this tool.
We are all SalseForce users in our previous job and still prefer this tool for small size businesses. At a $0/monthly nothing can compete with this.
I couldn't use the spanish language
The installation process was smoothly!, but, I needed to work with spanish language, but, I didn't know wich was the reason that I couldn't set it, neither the login page nor admin panel. Unfortunately I had to terminate the instance.

Hello,
RE: Review of SuiteCRM powered by Bitnami
I had reviewed over 2,800 CRMs in my time and only a few actually posed worth the effort; few meaning less than 15. I found SuiteCRM interesting because of its potential. Herein, I refer to its potential because the integrated e-mail actually works! There are many Linux variant images having no e-mail functionality at all.
So as far as I see it, if this group improves the e-mail and project management functionality, this group will enter a niche with very little competition. There are platforms having been around for decades and still can't figure to add e-mail functionality to their platforms. So blame it on the lack of documentation or the lack of decent libraries; whatever the case, this group is one of the few that accomplished it and that alone is worth the credit.
I will say the group will need to adjust some of the dialog boxes and widgets for smaller screens. It appears to fit above 12". I had to shrink the browser rendering to 67% for viewing some dialog boxes. Enterprises and developers also like customizable or plain login forms, so that it gives the impression of a channel.
Thank you,
