Zoho CRM - Meeting Most Business Needs
Comments: My experience has been positive with Zoho CRM. The platform offers a user friendly interface making it easy to navigate and manage customer relationships.
Pros:
Zoho CRM is user friendly, its flexible with customizations according to your requirements. You can set up the whole lead pipeline with automations for messages and emails. Additionally it offers excellent integration with other tools which enhances productivity. The pricing is also competitive, which make it suitable for business of all sizes i suppose.
Cons:
What i liked least about it is its occasional complexity in navigating certain features, which can be tedious for some users. At times i find it quite challenging to generate customized reports due to user permissions i guess. Also integration with some third party applications can be challenging.
No frills CRM solution
Comments: A good CRM but no frills - it gets the basics right and struggles with the advanced functionality.
Pros:
Gets the basics right. Easily customisable views so that our teams get the information they need straight away.
Cons:
Unless you are building a sales pipeline in the way they’ve thought about, it can be a struggle to adapt to individual company needs. It also lacks in integrations with other tools.
Great for small businesses
Comments: The experience is perfect. I woulddefinetely recommend to use zoho. If your business is just starting or have few employees you should try it. And if you are growing fast is great too because the commercial plan is affordable.
Pros:
It has a free plan where you can start working without paying. This is very useful for small businesses. Easy to constomize and up to 3 users freely. The documentation to understand how it works is very complete. The customer service is very good and fast.
Cons:
The free version, of course, is limited in the configuration. But still works OK for a small business.
Alternatives Considered: Bigin by Zoho CRM and Bitrix24

Cost effective, customisable and backed with AI - Zoho C
Comments: I have been working on the backend where the data from Zoho CRM flows and sits into the database. So overall the experience is good, I took a bit time to learn the data flow inwards and outwards from this tool. The data coming from this tool needs to be simplified before we push it to netsuite and salesforce cloud
Pros:
It comes with an integration support with other tools in the Zoho Suite as well the google suite. It is a good option for CRM for small and mid scale business. The UI is customisable as per needs and comes with an AI powered tool for automated recommendations

The customer support is limited and initial learning of the tool requires some technical training. The API exposure to the backend where the customer and sales data flows is also a bit limited

ZOHO ONE and ZOHO CRM
Pros:
Various pricing tiers, including a free version with basic features; user interface of Zoho CRM is fairly user-friendly; Great Customization options!; integrates seamlessly with other Zoho applications as well as third-party apps, such as Google Workspace, Microsoft Office 365, Zapier, and social media platforms. It also offers automation. Mobile Accessibility with the app
Cons:
Zoho CRM is user-friendly, but mastering its full range of features and customization options requires time and training, especially for users who are new to CRM software. There is limited customer support with long response times and difficulty in getting timely assistance for technical issues or queries. I personally have had a few issues with some minor glitches and the first response back is always some canned response that is annoying. After about 3 tries, they then ask you to send a video of the issue, and then MAYBE someone will help fix it all. There are still issues I am having after a year that have not been fixed, and these glitches are affecting my automation. For complex customization, may require technical expertise or assistance from Zoho's professional services, which incurs additional costs. Scalability: While Zoho CRM is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses, some larger enterprises may find its scalability limited compared to other CRM solutions on the market. Other: offline functionality of Zoho CRM is limited, which may pose challenges for users who frequently work in environments with poor or no internet connectivity.
A CRM to consider for SMB's on a budget
Pros:
For us, this is one of the most complete CRM platforms available. We usually recommend tis platform to SMB's who need a CRM platform, but still are not big enought to get Salesforce for example (and in some case this is all they'll ever need)
Cons:
Maybe time needed to do the initial set-up, as everything needs to be changed and the default options are not always useful. The UI sometimes feel a bit clunky.
Alternatives Considered: HubSpot Marketing Hub
Reasons for Choosing Zoho CRM: Better integrations, better customer service and better overall value for money

Zoho CRM - a middleware to cloud usage review
Comments: So I was in a middleware team at builder.ai. The product on which I worked used to gather customer data where they used to customise there own software. This customer data use to flow from our middleware to clouds like Salesforce, Netsuite, Zoho CRM. So here we had Zoho, this had implied rules for the data to enter in and get stored on any cloud. We had ticketing as well for customer service
Pros:
I like the way the UI is designed, the way it is curated to address scenarios where the user is a non coder, has no or basic coding ability. I like the GUI based workflow management and its ticketing system
Cons:
The costing is slightly high, implementing it requires skilled professionals and some training. The forms can be more expressive and features can be improved

Pros:
Very easy to understand CRM, with understandable terminologies and industry specific design for the users, also provision of custom fields addition and 24x7 support are the good things about zoho crm

They are not providing the education guide videos in the regional language, because our many usere were interns and undergraduate they were facing issues.

Customize Your Experience
Comments: Overall I would rate the Zoho a 4.5/5 stars. Other than the visual appearance I'm all in!
Pros:
What I like the most about Zoho is the customization available to completely make it your own. You have TONS of different Zoho Apps and Services you can integrate into your Zoho Dashboard that cover almost anything you can think of business related across all different departments. The part that I liked best is how Zoho is extremely user friendly and it's base functions can serve all your needs, but for those more advanced CRM fanatics Zoho really does pack a punch with extremely advanced features available to truly make it your own!
Cons:
The biggest thing I don't like about Zoho is the visual appearance of the users interface. In my option it looks very outdated which gives the appearance initially that it is not capable of much. I think it is something that definitely needs an upgrade.

Although it has some minor limitations, its ease of use and affordability make it a great option for businesses looking for a robust and affordable CRM solution.
