Featured Reviews

Steven-Parker - PeerSpot reviewer
CEO at Cottingham Ltd
Focused on inventory and accounting production; valuable inventory control and sales recording
The Acumatica features I found most valuable are inventory control and sales recording Additional features I would like to see in the next release are more flexible reporting options. I would specifically benefit from the ability to create comparative reports for many months instead of having to…
HarshVardhan1 - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at Evoluz Global Solutions
Automates client workflows and data validation reliably but has faced limits in complex integrations
While applying some integrations or automations, if we need to take an action between two modules' fields, we have to write SOQL, and it can miss the data. I had a scenario where I had to use two fields from two different modules, and based on that condition, we had to send a follow-up to our team member to complete the task. We could not find any direct integration, direct SOQL query, or direct workflow that could do that work. However, I think the wizard is performing better now for such tasks. I had a two-part scenario where I had to get data from two modules or two fields in Zoho CRM and send a follow-up to our team member based on that data. We were unable to find any direct integration for this. Another issue is that a Zoho CRM function can run for only three minutes. After three minutes, the function will fail, and we have to rerun the function.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The way everything integrated well with everything else was most valuable. We had one solution for everything, from the first phone call down to follow-up visits for wholesale callers and for just regular purchases."
"This solution supports multiple branches."
"The product is customizable."
"It's very straightforward and easy to use, with a lot of customization options and good integrations."
"The most valuable feature I have found in Zoho CRM is custom functions—you can achieve anything with it, from integrations with other applications to automating complex tasks that the inbuilt features may not handle."
"The solution is always stable."
"The most valuable solution of Zoho CRM is lead management and analytics. It has a powerful analytics tool."
"The most valuable features are the lead, opportunity and task management as well as dashboard creation, reporting, contact management and campaigns."
"There are many features that capture customer data."
"Zoho CRM helped me to manage leads and opportunities and to use the dashboard and reporting features for better sales and growth."
 

Cons

"It is very expensive for a small business."
"For support, we go through a distributor, and the support we receive from them is much better than what we would from Acumatica directly. When we went to Acumatica support directly, we were not happy with it."
"The solution doesn't have features to break down the structure for multiple people in the project."
"We should be able to personalize it for the company. There should be more customization of the pages so that they seem more like a company rather than as an outside company. We should be able to change company images and things like that and do this kind of personalization."
"We would like to always email users as soon as any new features are launched."
"Some of our clients could not develop their requirements using the product."
"The chatbot feature is not very intelligent and lacks AI capabilities."
"Zoho CRM could benefit from predictive analysis based on historical trends to forecast future performance over the next two to three years, particularly from a sales pipeline perspective."
"The product's scalability and stability need improvement."
"I would like to see better integration with Zoho Creator."
"Customer Service: It's poor. Technical Support: Poor, as they don't answer your call or emails at your first attempt."
"The support response time for this solution could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive for a small business. If you're a small business, it is not a very good solution in that aspect, but if you are big and have more manufacturing, it is well worth it. It comes with the ability to integrate with one website. We had to modify ours. We customized it so that we could do hundreds of websites. In Texas, I believe that we were the only one ever to be integrated with hundreds of websites. So, the development of our API probably cost us a hundred grand, and then there would be maintenance. That's all outside of the standard licensing fee."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a five. However, the pricing is fine because we chose the enterprise plan as a private limited company."
"Compared to other solutions, I would say Zoho CRM is very, very affordable because we can use different applications with one license."
"Zoho CRM has a subscription-based license, which is not too expensive."
"The price of Zoho CRM is already competitive, but we would always like to have a better discount. Most of the features are included in the price but if we want the extra features then we have to purchase them."
"We consider it a good value and found it to be cost-effective."
"If you compare the pricing with SAP, it is well priced and you are able to pay as you go."
"There is an annual license."
"We have an annual license fee that costs $12,000."
