Zoho CRM - Meeting Most Business Needs

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: My experience has been positive with Zoho CRM. The platform offers a user friendly interface making it easy to navigate and manage customer relationships.

Pros:

Zoho CRM is user friendly, its flexible with customizations according to your requirements. You can set up the whole lead pipeline with automations for messages and emails. Additionally it offers excellent integration with other tools which enhances productivity. The pricing is also competitive, which make it suitable for business of all sizes i suppose.

Cons:

What i liked least about it is its occasional complexity in navigating certain features, which can be tedious for some users. At times i find it quite challenging to generate customized reports due to user permissions i guess. Also integration with some third party applications can be challenging.

Zoho CRM is an excellent CRM choice

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: I have used Zoho CRM for a very long time to successfully manage business development efforts for our organization. It is a top tier application with the features to go along with it.

Pros:

Many features as well as integration capability with other Zoho applications as well as ability configure, even with the free level. Setting follow-up actions/tasks is probably one of the most useful features.

Cons:

Would like better reporting features with more flexibility. Otherwise an amazing product.

Zoho CRM- Comprehensive solution at reasonable price

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall really good value for the price that we pay.
The case-wise history maintenance feature actually help us to segment leads and has increased our productivity,
There are too many features which is actually not required for many business, they can cut it to make interface cleaner.

Pros:

The ease of usage; the deals page has drag and drop features which helps in very easy prioritization of pipelines. Creating accounts, leads and contacts are all very easily and gets synched in the back-end. Additionally, assigning of cases to team members is also very easy.

Cons:

The reminders that we set only appears as web-based push notifications and I often tends to lose it. The features are overwhelming in enterprise version and every time we need some help, the team pushes us to do a paid online training. The quality of downloadable charts is not up-to mark and we depend on external pivots and excels and use Zoho CRM downloads as backups.
