Customization and process automation enhance support operations, but interface consistency could improve
At this time, there is not specifically something to improve regarding Service Creatio, but a couple of years ago, Creatio started developing a new version called Freedom UI with new interfaces. The new interfaces are amazing, but we still have some features in Classic UI that we cannot use in Freedom UI. What we miss is having all features in Classic available in Freedom. Creatio works every three months to release new features, but they are taking too much time to make all those features available. We could use more time. There are a lot of business rules we can use in Classic UI, but we cannot use many of those business rules in the Freedom UI because of the different interfaces. We miss several kinds of business rules or conditions that we could use in the design of the application or interfaces to the customer. For instance, I had a feature to introduce a formula graphically, but I can only use very basic formulas in the latest release. In Classic UI, we have powerful formulas, but in Freedom UI, I am limited to direct files from the current screen. The only thing I miss is having all the features from Classic UI available in Freedom UI. For instance, managing duplicated records is a feature that we can easily use in Classic UI, but in Freedom UI I cannot merge contacts to resolve duplicates, which is not available yet.

Efficient integration enhances customer insights and communication
The integration between Zoho CRM, Zoho Desk, and Zoho Projects is very good. One of the key features of Zoho CRM is the ability to record telephone calls using AI. The AI tool, Tele Zia, translates calls into bullet points, providing insights such as when to send emails or contact the customer based on previous conversations.

"The most valuable feature of Zoho Desk is the parent and child task management feature."
 

Cons

"The return material authorization should utilize no-code or low-code."
"Despite me telling them that Service Creatio has many certifications to protect data, they chose on-premise, which has created issues, as they must be responsible for updates, upgrades, and new releases."
"The customer self-portal is not good. Service Creatio has a special capability for external customers and users to access the web portal, but we had to use third-party solutions developed by us."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing."
"Sometimes, the solution has some email issues in a new data center."
"The main concern is the pricing of Zoho Desk, as I consider it to be on the expensive side."
"Sometimes support is available according to their time slots and they can't fulfill everything I need them to. They give us a time slot but it's not always enough."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support. It could be more knowledgeable."
"I would like to have integrated support, and integration between the ticketing tool and the project management tool."
"As per customer requirements, it may have some limitations."
"The solution should provide an option to autofill some values while creating tickets."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is better than Zendesk. Zendesk charges in USD per user per month, whereas Zoho let us pay in Naira (Nigerian currency)."
"Zoho Desk's cost is pretty much okay."
"The solution is relatively cheap. However, there are additional licensing fees involved."
"Zoho Desk is a cost-effective solution."
"The gap is limited, but it should limit the price back bracket so that most start-ups can use it most effectively."
"The solution costs INR 8400 per user."
"Regarding pricing, it's 35 USD per user a year and 45 USD per user a month. Under the price, I have access to all Zoho products since it all falls under Zoho One's package."
"For what it does, it's quite cheap."
