Creatio CRM Review 2026

Image
Creatio is a comprehensive CRM platform that aims to streamline sales, marketing, and service processes for businesses of all sizes. I found its no-code approach to workflow automation and customization really interesting. The platform is divided into three main modules - Sales, Marketing, and Service - each offering a robust set of features. From lead management and opportunity tracking to multichannel marketing campaigns to customer support ticketing, Creatio covers a wide range of CRM functionalities. However, this breadth of capabilities comes at a price, both in terms of cost and complexity. Its extensive customization options, while beneficial, can be overwhelming for those seeking a more straightforward CRM. But if you like the idea of building your own no-code CRM by rigorously customizing different aspects of the application, all without resorting to actual coding, this might be a great...

The latest 2026 Razer Blade 18 is a monster of a gaming laptop that annihilates the competition – if you can afford the price of admission

Image
Razer Blade 18 (2026): Two-minute review Another year, another Razer Blade laptop lineup. At this point, these reviews have become something of a foregone conclusion for me; if there are three things I can reliably expect from each new Blade release, it's great gaming performance, a sleek and robust design, and a sky-high price tag. Sure enough, the latest Blade 18 (2026) delivers on all three fronts – but I can't just say 'yep, buy it if you can afford it'. This new Blade is superior to its predecessors in several ways, and it's quite possibly the best large-screen gaming laptop (or portable workstation) you can buy right now. Having seen the dawn of Nvidia RTX 5000 GPUs in Razer's laptops when I reviewed the Razer Blade 16 (2025) last year, I had some idea of what to expect in terms of performance. The new Blade 18 did not disappoint in this regard, delivering top-notch...

I've tested the Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro for six weeks, and it's a powerful, premium Garmin alternative — albeit a lumpy and uncomfortable one

Amazfit Cheetah 2 Pro: One minute review Three years after the release of the Cheetah Pro smartwatch, Amazfit has finally released its successor, the aptly named Cheetah 2 Pro. Designed for serious road runners who rely on structured training plans, the smartwatch is a solid offering that competes admirably with the best running watches on the market right now. It doesn't hit the dizzying heights of Garmin's top-range alternatives, but Amazfit has definitely closed the gap. The Cheetah 2 Pro has a bigger sibling, the Cheetah 2 Ultra, which is slightly larger, more expensive and comes with trail running profiles with gradient and terrain features not present here. The high price tag for a watch without trail features will put a lot of people off, especially considering Amazfit is still an unknown brand to many and a budget brand to those in the know. On closer inspection, the cost is most...

Bitrix24 CRM review

Image
Bitrix24 is a comprehensive customer relationship management platform that goes beyond traditional CRM functionalities. It offers an extensive suite of tools for managing customer interactions, project collaboration, and internal communication. At its core, Bitrix24 provides robust lead and deal management capabilities, making it one of the best CRM platforms on the market - but it doesn't stop there. The platform integrates project management features, time tracking, document handling, and even website building tools. The platform offers a generous free tier alongside paid plans, making it an attractive option for businesses of various sizes. However, this wide-ranging functionality comes with a trade-off — a steeper learning curve compared to more streamlined options. Bitrix24 core capabilties (Image credit: Bitrix24) Despite being an all-in-one platform, Bitrix24 offers a robust collectio...

With the second-gen Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus, the head-to-toe doorbell finally goes 2K

Image
Ring Battery Video Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen): two-minute review A video doorbell is a parcel monitor, a deterrent, and a low-key surveillance node pointed at your own front step, and Ring has spent the better part of a decade making that proposition feel normal. The second-generation Battery Doorbell Plus is the company sharpening its best idea: taking the head-to-toe doorbell and giving it the resolution it always deserved. Where ordinary doorbells frame a visitor's torso and chin and little else, the Plus shows a tall, square 1:1 field of view — 140 degrees in both directions — that takes in the person, the doorstep and whatever's been left on it. This generation shoots in 2K Retinal resolution (1920 x 1920) with HDR, so you can identify a courier, read a label and confirm whether the parcel is on your step or your neighbour's — and a 6x Enhanced Zoom lets you pinch in without the im...
