A modular, easy-to-use solution that needs to improve support and include automation
There are one or two annoying things. For example, if you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself. That's annoying. If you have five items in the drop-down list or if you have a hundred, it's just pathetic. It makes no sense that you have to do that because I've never seen it not work before in any other system that I've ever worked with. If you make a list of things, most solutions automatically put it in an alphabetized order. Or it'll put it in date order, but there is some order. It doesn't just go randomly in the order you create them. For example, I might load about 20 neighborhoods into a drop-down list, starting at "a" and ending at "z." But I might miss one of the "b's" and two of the "c's," so I add them, but they are added after the "z." Then I have to go to the bottom of the list, click on the one that starts with "b," and drag it all the way up to the "b's." That's just a pain in the butt.

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

"Very flexible and customizable; we appreciate being able to host it locally with direct access to the backend."
"The fact that we can build our own modules on the solution is really quite attractive, and it's not overly complex."
"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."
"I have seen a return on investment so far because it is definitely time-saving, and our efficiency improved by utilizing this tool."
"We're able to easily track messages and notes."
"I like Zoho CRM's automatic lead assignment and automated workflows."
"Zoho CRM can be used by both registered users and potential users; we use it for creating and managing modules, email broadcasting, integrating with email marketing tools, and data sharing between users."
"It has helped to manage, move forward, and also customize my processes. It has helped me with my sales pipeline, sales process, and performance."
"The solution has all the features I want, and it is quite simple."
"What I like best about Zoho CRM is the web form feature. I find Zoho CRM forms excellent."
"Zoho CRM has a location-based feature where if I'm visiting certain customers in a day, it can indicate to me the most efficient route. However, this is if the location of all the offices or places is updated, it saves my time. The calendar in Zoho CRM is synchronized with Google Calander which is very useful for me."
 

Cons

"The charts and graphs available out of the box are pretty outdated, and you're a little limited in how you can present information on the dashboard without adding modules."
"If you make a drop-down list of something, it doesn't automatically alphabetize the drop-down list. You have to manually go and drag items up and down and alphabetize them yourself."
"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"It does require some technical background before starting to do anything with Zoho CRM."
"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."
"One area of Zoho CRM that could be improved would be email support. The email support is really slow, but the in-app support is superb."
"The mobile application is a little complicated and could be simplified."
"Customer Service: Only chat is available, connecting over the phone is impossible."
"Zoho CRM’s customer service can be a little difficult to reach sometimes."
"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."
"The reporting for developers should be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
"We have an annual license fee that costs $12,000."
"Zoho CRM is an expensive tool."
"Zoho CRM has a subscription-based license, which is not too expensive."
"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."
"The product costs $35 per user per year."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a five. However, the pricing is fine because we chose the enterprise plan as a private limited company."
"Compared to other solutions, I would say Zoho CRM is very, very affordable because we can use different applications with one license."
"We pay for an annual license to use this solution."
