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.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Vtiger CRM is automation."

"The ticketing feature is very easy to use, compared to other systems."
"Overall, I consider Zoho CRM to be one of the best CRMs in the market today."
"The tool has made support very flexible and strong. We can use chat boxes and auto-responses. If someone creates a ticket, it will be created in Zoho Desk's ticket module. We can get emails and respond to them within the product. We don't need a support email product to manage emails. We can easily manage it within Zoho Desk. The tool's interface is good since it updated the layout three months ago and the current interface is more effective."
"The product provides communication features like chats and calls."
"Zoho Desk offers a wide range of features that allow integration with different systems, enhancing ease of use."
 

Cons

"The mobile design could improve in Vtiger CRM. It could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Could have slightly better integration between additional functionalities in the Zoho desk."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support. It could be more knowledgeable."
"There is room for improvement in terms of integration."
"The main concern is the pricing of Zoho Desk, as I consider it to be on the expensive side."
"Zoho Desk lacks lookup fields for the layouts."
"I would want Zoho Desk to integrate Zoho CRM, Zoho SalesIQ , and Zoho Campaigns."
"Zoho Desk needs to be enhanced to support IT service management policies."
"I would like to have integrated support, and integration between the ticketing tool and the project management tool."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free open-source version of Vtiger CRM."
"The price doesn't change when you add users. It's a flat fee, and that's attractive."
"The gap is limited, but it should limit the price back bracket so that most start-ups can use it most effectively."
"Price-wise, Zoho Desk is about 35 USD a month per user."
"For what it does, it's quite cheap."
"The pricing is better than Zendesk. Zendesk charges in USD per user per month, whereas Zoho let us pay in Naira (Nigerian currency)."
"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."
"The solution costs INR 8400 per user."
"Zoho Desk's cost is pretty much okay."
"Zoho Desk is a cost-effective solution."
