An easy-to-use project management solution with good stability and scalability
The recent update on the solution has made it a little bit complex. For example, to create a team and a project, there is a separate button that you need to click. Recently they updated it with only one button making it difficult for us to create teams or supply teams other than a project. Hence the solution could be more user-friendly. Additionally, some additional features need to be integrated so it'll be easy for other companies or project managers to manage software projects.

Accurate time tracking has improved invoicing workflows but task management still needs refinement
I am used to working in To Do, which is a very fast platform. You can essentially copy and paste a range of tasks with various details and paste it directly into the platform, which allows it to handle them very quickly and accurately. Zoho Projects is much more enterprise-focused, so the functionality and flow is a little more restricted than I would enjoy. It has all of the same fields, but those fields are somewhat harder to get information into and out of than many other project management platforms. As for features with Zoho Projects, the time tracking capabilities are very robust, but the method by which I start and stop the timer is not very fluid. As far as features I would like integrated, I am uncertain; rather, I see features that could be improved.
