Account Executive at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Connecting directly with sales tools facilitates seamless outreach and messaging
Being able to set up the cadences in steps is very helpful, where it moves on to the next step, and also where it connects with SalesLoft Sales Navigator. So far, being able to connect directly, instead of switching back and forth to Sales Navigator, has worked well. Also, being able to send messages directly from SalesLoft through LinkedIn Sales Navigator messaging is very useful. I can do everything right from the SalesLoft page without continuously switching between SalesLoft and Sales Navigator.

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

"SalesLoft's customer support has been really good."
"In general, the solution works well; it's great for keeping track of customers and adding in details."
"The most valuable solution of Zoho CRM is lead management and analytics. It has a powerful analytics tool."
"The solution has an efficient notification feature."
"We're able to easily track messages and notes."
"Zoho CRM handles the entire customer relationship management, from lead generation to workflows, reports, and lead qualification."
"It's very convenient as this product can be used on your mobile phone."
"The dashboards and visualizations help us see how different markets perform. I find the dashboard feature most valuable because it's easy to visualize data. I've been trying to use the built-in quotations feature, which could reduce turnaround time. We're not using many automation features for record management and opportunity tracking. I'm trying to integrate Zoho CRM with Zoho Flow for quotation submission workflow."
"Zoho CRM by contrast is easy to use, customizable and you don’t need training to use it."
 

Cons

"Navigating through emails and LinkedIn messages to find which ones have been opened could be improved. I can see email open rates, but identifying who actually opened them is difficult."
"Sometimes, there are technical glitches. When we add product details, the information disappears. It can be improved from this aspect. Some of the bugs also need to be resolved."
"It does require some technical background before starting to do anything with Zoho CRM."
"There was a challenge while deploying Zoho when we brought an API code. Because integrations "aren't perfect" for every organization."
"The support is not quite good."
"I feel that Zoho CRM's AI-powered assistant, Zia, is not that good right now."
"There are at least two big pieces. One is just the ability to reorganize the data and clean it up to eliminate duplicates and things like that. It is very manual at the moment."
"Customer Service: Only chat is available, connecting over the phone is impossible."
"The solution can improve by having a policy that allows us to integrate with the cloud."
