Reasonably priced, perfect for SMEs, and offers good performance
Pros and Cons
  • "For the most part, the solution is stable."
  • "I'm not sure that there is scalability potential for enterprises."

What is our primary use case?

We are the product more on the sales leads side of it, for the sales cycle, for creating our customers' contract details and any deals where there are rules involved. We also use it for projections. 

What is most valuable?

The product is very price-competitive. For startups, it's an absolutely brilliant product to start with. For any small companies of less than a hundred or so people, for SMEs, they are a really good option in the market.

For the most part, the solution is stable. 

What needs improvement?

I'm not sure that there is scalability potential for enterprises.

For how long have I used the solution?

We've been using the solution for the last four or five years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable for a smaller organization.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability may not be up to the level that an enterprise-level company would need. It's more suited for SMEs.

Our entire sales force, which is more than 300 people, is on the solution at this time. 

We do not have plans to increase usage.

How are customer service and support?

We've never had to deal with technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are. 

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We previously used Microsoft Dynamics 365.

How was the initial setup?

It's a cloud-based solution. There is no setup required, per se. I just need to go and log in. That's it.

There is no technical team needed for deployment and maintenance. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We don't pay for an individual license. It's part of a complete bundle. 

The pricing is very reasonable. It's not overly expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

I'm a customer and an end-user.

I would recommend it to other users and organizations. 

I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Customizable, quick to set up, and easy to manage
Pros and Cons
  • "The initial setup is pretty fast."
  • "I'd like the solution to offer more integrations with other products."

What is our primary use case?

We primarily use the solution for prioritizing projects.

What is most valuable?

We're able to easily track messages and notes. 

For management, it's easy to view what is going on. 

The initial setup is pretty fast.

It is stable.

We can scale the product.

It's very customizable and user-friendly.

What needs improvement?

I'd like the solution to offer more integrations with other products. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I joined my company about one year ago and have used Zoho since then.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and reliable. There aren't any bugs, and it isn't glitchy. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's pretty reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We can scale the solution so that it meets our needs. 

Our company is pretty small, so we only have 18 users on Zoho.

At this time, we do not have plans to increase usage. 

How are customer service and support?

I can't speak to how helpful or responsive support is. I've never used them. There is one person that can help us deliver answers to our customers, and they have been fine, as far as I know. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I'm not sure if the company used any other similar product previously.

It does not take too long to set up the solution. As long as your bandwidth is good and you are using it out of the box, you can deploy it in a few minutes. 

I'm only a beginner in terms of having knowledge of the product, and therefore I'm not sure what maintenance, if any, is needed. 

What about the implementation team?

I can handle the deployment myself.

I can't speak to the cost of the solution. I don't handle licensing.

Agile CRM that facilitates efficiencies through effective customer and sales tracking and order management
Pros and Cons
  • "Customer tracking, order management, sales tracking and PO tracking provide efficiency."
  • "Zoho could be more user friendly by improving the UI of the interface."

What is our primary use case?

We use Zoho to track customer requests and our test orders.

What is most valuable?

Customer tracking, order management, sales tracking and PO tracking provide efficiency. It's similar to what I have used in Salesforce before.

What needs improvement?

Zoho could be more user friendly by improving the UI of the interface. 

For how long have I used the solution?

Our business has been using this solution for a couple of years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable product. We have had a couple of instances where it has struggled to load which was possibly due to maintenance taking place. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. 

How are customer service and support?

I have not needed to contact the support team. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used Salesforce previously when I worked at a different company. Salesforce is more user friendly but Zoho is more flexible and agile. Zoho are faster in releasing new features.

The initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The in-house team set up this solution. They are technical experts and complete all our automation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This solution is less expensive than Salesforce.

I would recommend Zoho to others. 

I would rate Zoho an eight out of ten.

Scalability stands out, years of reliability, with straightforward implementation
Pros and Cons
  • "I think the whole pipeline tracking is most useful for us."
  • "The integration should be more user-friendly."

What is most valuable?

The whole pipeline tracking is most useful for us. Our whole pipeline management is where we look for prospects, leads, and conversion processes.

What needs improvement?

The integration should be more user-friendly. I think the architecture currently is pretty modularized within the Zoho system. We have a CRM and we have projects, and the integration part in previous modules can be better and made easier for end users. That is where we had to use third-party vendor support to help us build those integrations.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Zoho CRM for the past two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not had issues for years, so I would say it is reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

One of their strong points is that it can very easily scale up.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is highly responsive and I have not had any issues.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The setup of Zoho CRM is straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

As with any other solution, try to go out of the box to implement the best practices and use all the features. These are the two things which I would recommend. I would rate Zoho CRM an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

CRM that improves the visibility of all marketing campaigns and related sales
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features include the dashboards, deal tracking, email tracking, notes, managing notes and the ability to manage databases in one place."
  • "It would be useful to have some way of mapping organizations that could add more value. If I have X company's database and am trying to create multiple contexts for different entities of the same company, I should be able to map it in such a way that I can see the organization chart."

What is our primary use case?

We are not using the fully-fledged solution yet as we are still in the process of a full migration. We tested the solution for a year first and found it more user friendly compared to other solutions on the market. 

We use Zoho for our outbound and inbound channels to run marketing campaigns and to manage and track leads coming from those campaigns. We plan to adopt it for our entire sales cycle for customer relationship management. 

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features include the dashboards, deal tracking, email tracking, notes, managing notes and maintaining databases in one place.

It is a value-addition tool. It gives us the visibility of all the deals which are in place, and allows us to manage and track activities against those deals. 

What needs improvement?

It would be useful to have some way of mapping organizations that could add more value. If I have X company's database and am trying to create multiple contexts for different entities of the same company, I should be able to map it in such a way that I can see the organization chart.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have used this solution for one year. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. 

How are customer service and support?

The customer service and support for this solution is great. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. Deployment took two months.

What other advice do I have?

For smaller organizations looking for a CRM solution, it comes at an affordable cost. The sales cycle or marketing cycle can be a bit complex. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
