"It's fine to navigate for a layperson."
"Resource allocation is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Project Server."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"The product can be seamlessly integrated into our CRM."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"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."

"This solution could improve by adding integration with Primavera schedules to allow the reading and management of them."
"The price of the product must be improved."
"It needs to be more collaborative from inside the application. It only does project scheduling for me. It would be good if it could do other things and be more collaborative, such as sharing tasks for users. It is not really incorporated into MS Office, so you can't copy-paste stuff. It is on its own, doing its own thing. It is only used for scheduling, and it doesn't work well with anything else."
"It has to be more user-friendly. For instance, there should be some assistance, like when you go to certain sites, people pop up and say, "Can we help you? What are you looking for?" It's not interactive enough."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The only room for improvement over here is a feature related to the trend, like AI-related things that we can expect need to be introduced."
"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."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"It is not easy to drag and drop a task from one person to the other. I think the resolution for the issue is work in progress. The product's stability can be improved."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
"The telephone support provided by the support team should become better."
"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."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
