PG
Sr. Project Manager at Stradley Ronon
Good for reporting, but a little rigorous in its methodology and not conducive to real project management
It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality.
Matt Costa - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner & Digital Marketing Manager at MPCosta
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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable, and we are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"The entire organisation is now on the same page, with one source of truth."
"LiquidPlanner is a great tool for Getting Things Done enthusiasts and project managers in general."
"Its dashboards and reports are the most valuable. We are able to share these reports and other information with our leadership."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects that I have found is its time tracking."
"While integrating a voice solution with Zoho Projects, the focus was on creating a unified interface for voice and customer engagement across various platforms like Facebook, social media, and emails. The primary goal was to seamlessly merge the two platforms into a single interface. To achieve this, we engaged in API integrations and worked on aspects such as initializing, authentication, and access control."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"We use the tool for our core business project. If we have a new site coming up, there are many milestones that need to be checked. The solution helps to ensure consistency."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Projects is all integrated into one. We don't have to start using multiple tools, such as Projects, CRM, Marketing, Automation, Finance, and setting up Meetings. It's all in one solution. I don't have to go to multiple different platforms to have all the features I need."
 

Cons

"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome."

"I'd like to see more power and triggers in the iOS app."
"Perhaps my only comment is that it is not cheap but in saying that, it is worth every penny."
"The UI and UX must be improved."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"We'd like to have milestone features."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
"The price of Zoho Projects has increased significantly over time. Initially, it was an affordable option for early adopters, but the price has risen four to five times."
"The telephone support provided by the support team should become better."
"The solution’s interface should be improved."
