A rigid product that is hard to customize, has no mobile app, and is rarely updated by the vendor
There is no mobile application. The product is unmoving, as there is no obvious development or enhancements being made. When we are trying to compete in a market we need an updated product. The product is not easily customizable and we have to depend on the reseller for that. It's a rigid product. There are no reports available.

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

"Stability-wise, it is working fine with no technical faults."
"Some of the best features of Zoho CRM include the open architecture; it's fairly easy to modify it to your business process without having to get professionals involved."
"The most valuable features include the dashboards, deal tracking, email tracking, notes, managing notes and the ability to manage databases in one place."
"I think Zoho CRM's automation capabilities are really good and better than almost any other application."
"Zoho CRM is quite scalable; I have worked with clients who started with ten companies and have scaled up to managing 500 employees effectively within Zoho CRM."
"Being able to have the solution in the cloud has made this a cost effective solution for us as we don't need to invest in hardware."
"Zoho CRM is a scalable product that provides data integration, data integrity, automations, and reliable working time."
"The platform has a valuable lead qualification feature."
"Zoho CRM helped me to manage leads and opportunities and to use the dashboard and reporting features for better sales and growth."
 

Cons

"There are no reports available."
"My advice is not to waste time implementing this product."
"However, for fully established companies and entrepreneurs, it might have some limitations, and they might have in-house capabilities that could make it less useful for their needs."
"A more user-friendly interface is what I'd like to see in Zoho CRM."
"The solution's feature for forecast has limitations."
"Zoho CRM has a rule engine or a place where you can set certain rules. That's not evolved very much. They could improve this within the platform."
"The only thing I noticed was that it does not support multi-country operations. In Canada, for example, we do not use the term "state," but rather "province," and we do not use zip codes, but rather "postal codes.""
"Adding a new contract to the solution is quite complicated."
"If the client's requirements involve managing large datasets, I would go directly to Salesforce due to its capability to store and structure big data, but it tends to be more expensive."
"The login process could be improved as some users find it unfriendly. The documentation could also be more user-friendly and better organized."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are paying for a subscription."
"The basic plan has changed from $15 to $25 or $30."
"We consider it a good value and found it to be cost-effective."
"There is an annual license."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"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."
"It is around $1000 a month."
"The licensing is the subscription, where we pay $50 per month per user."
"This solution is less expensive than Salesforce."
