Has 360 degree customer view but needs to improve workflow
Because Salesforce is a cloud solution, sometimes we have issues with speed. We experience a lot of delays. The data queries are at times separated and do not match properly. To obtain insights from data, we need to map or match the datasets and define the relationships between them. However, in Salesforce it is very difficult to define relationships between datasets. They do not provide any customization features; they are all global/standard. Because the sales department needs many functions to deal with sales or government policies, like taxes, they cannot develop the features in OCE. As a result, we cannot provide Salesforce as a single solution. The workflow process is not complete. They need to achieve more knowledge and experience in this industry.

Customization options empower workflow management, though support understanding can be enhanced
Currently, I am still working with Azure and I use the Azure products for my current work. I use Azure Active Directory. I don't use products like App Service from Azure or Azure Logic Apps, Front Door, but I think it's very straightforward. Once I take the first step to use Azure, I can track myself to use another application, program, or module in Azure. I use Office 365 because we actually have Exchange mail server 2019 on premises. In the last few months, I upgraded from Exchange on premise to use Office 365, which is faster, easier to troubleshoot, and more secure. I use Remote Desktop Services (RDS) as the best solution because I make a private server in my data center room. I have many users that need to access the internet, so I don't join the server to my domain because if I have any malware or other attacks, I can resolve it easily without any damage to my internal network. Microsoft RDS is more user-friendly and easier to use compared to RDS from Azure Microsoft or another provider. I purchase Microsoft Remote Desktop Services directly from Microsoft. I have had an MCSE and Microsoft account for 15 years. I work with SharePoint and Exchange, which are famous applications through Microsoft and Office 365. For daily tasks, I use Microsoft tools and Linux tools because I have applications like CRM, ERP, and HRM running over CentOS, an operating system by Linux. Regarding CentOS, in Egypt, we have issues paying for things from the internet, especially due to the large margin between US dollars and Egyptian pounds. CentOS is totally free from the internet, so I create ISO and install it on the server to use all features, policies, and security modules. Currently, I use 3CX as voice solutions, and Asterisk is the Linux platform I use, along with firewalls by Linux called pfSense. All data centers in my company have products between Microsoft and Linux systems. For DNS, I use deDNS to make remote access or subdomains from deDNS organization. Sometimes, I pay for a main domain from HostGator and re-route the domain to my data centers. Based on other competitors, I would rate Zoho CRM's price as a five, as it has a middle-range price compared to others. Overall, I rate Zoho CRM a seven out of ten.

"The camera feature is valuable because it provides a look and feel."
"The user interface, especially the dashboard, offers good navigation."
"The platform has a valuable lead qualification feature."
"What I like most about Zoho CRM is its configurability. We can adapt it to our needs in terms of the sales process. It has automation capabilities, but we mostly use it as a static system, except for sending emails and information about updated products."
"The product is customizable."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho CRM is emailing. You can send emails to customers directly from Zoho CRM. The marketing team in my company uses this feature, and it's effective."
"There are many features that capture customer data."
 

Cons

"Because Salesforce is a cloud solution, sometimes we have issues with speed. We experience a lot of delays."
"The mobile application is a little complicated and could be simplified."
"I'm not sure that there is scalability potential for enterprises."
"Since Zoho CRM is not made for the enterprise kind of company, its stability for enterprise businesses could be improved."
"There should be easy access to feature recommendations in the solution"
"This solution needs a more user-friendly interface."
"The solution's feature for forecast has limitations."
"They should provide an option to customize modules."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"OCE is less expensive than Veeva, for instance."
"Zoho CRM is an expensive tool."
"Zoho CRM is available at a fairly average price"
"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."
"I have no information about the pricing for Zoho CRM because the finance department handles that."
"I rate the product a four out of ten. The cost for Zoho CRM is not fixed; different editions are available, and the features depend on the edition chosen. Some capabilities, such as integrating with workflows, might incur additional costs, but these are well-documented and not hidden."
"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."
"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."
