    Accelo is a system that can do it all. It's extremely sophisticated. Depending on the sophistication of your organization, or specifically the abilities of the people you put in charge of the implementation, it can almost be too sophisticated. It all just depends on your situation. The more you use it, the more data you give it, the more you'll be able to see and do. It's incredibly powerful. But it's definitely not a tool that would be appropriate for smaller boutique type organizations that have only basic needs.

    Zoho CRM

    Zoho CRM is geared to small businesses with limited usage. However, through additional programming, our enterprise company was able to leverage the core apps into a well-honed customized CRM and end-to-end ecosystem that meets our needs. Zoho CRM has been responsive to this process and provided the support we need. With Zoho CRM, we can customize it any way we want allowing us to track all aspects of client requests and tax or service categories and then follow up with email campaigns based on specific criteria with ease.

    Zoho CRM

    • It is pretty easy to use. We don't need to set up formal training sessions for our users which lets us get new users up and running much quicker.
    • Great reporting section, you can extract some really detailed reports of your leads and their status.
    • User access control and 2-factor authentication are really easy to define and set up.
    • Some really great integrations with Zoho products and Gsuite.

    Zoho CRM

    • You can only have one email attached to a form. This means that I have to go elsewhere to create a full drip campaign.
    • Reporting leaves a lot to be desired. It is difficult to set up reports exactly how we want them.
    • There are some things that aren't allowed to be customized that definitely should be
    • Support means well, but they rarely can help

    Zoho has been a wonderful tool for us for several years and there is so much more we can do with it. New features are released often which give a team like us the option to further fine tune our business process management techniques. I honestly couldn't imagine running our business not on Zoho.

    In my overall experience, I would highly recommend Zoho CRM, though it lacks the feature of partial entries, still we used that for our non-profit organization. They have offered us a non-profit discount as well. Moreover, their support is good, and has dedicated employees to help the clients. From my experience, sometimes, we got the idiots, but overall the support is good. They have helped us in doing custom functionalities that other CRM providers don't do for free.

    From the beginning the Accelo team has been very invested in ensuring our success and overall happiness with the platform. The initial implementation specialists and trainers did a fairly good job of learning our company and needs, and tried to tailor the trainings accordingly. However, once we made the formal switch to the platform, meaning we no longer were using our legacy systems, we found that we had a lot of questions....and a lot of ideas and recommendations. The support team is extremely responsive and seemingly happy to receive our continual feedback. And if we encounter an issue that seems to be a system issue, they work diligently to fix it (we've actually had an engineer join a call with us to learn of the issue - and subsequently fix it)

    We did the training and that was a huge waste of money. The information provided was basic and the instructor was sloppy (he even forgot to turn off his mic when he used the restroom - no one should ever hear what we heard). I offered up a 9 because we were able to find what we needed on your website.

    Take it slowly and meet often with your team to solicit their feedback. Listen to what they are saying so that if something is not clear, you can address it before they turn on the CRM. Also, whatever system you were one previously will not match Zoho CRM which is both good and bad. It's good as I know Zoho CRM will be better than whatever you're been using. Bad because it will require change and how you did things in your old CRM may need to be modified a little when using Zoho CRM.

    Alternatives Considered

    Accelo

    Accelo doesn't really exceed any competitors in any one area of their product, but in 2015 when we made the move this was the best option that included all the tools we wanted. However, user adoption was low in some areas due to the UI, so we scaled back Accelo and added other tools.

    Zoho CRM

    Back when we switched, Zoho CRM was nowhere near Salesforce. We were able to at least merge some of our documents through a bridge called Conga. We still can't do that within Zoho CRM, but again, Zoho CRM updates all the time so I'm probably not aware of the easiest most efficient way it can do it.

    I think Zoho CRM is priced at a reasonable amount. Simply put, you get what you pay for and Zoho does not disappoint. My organization is comfortable with what we pay and pleased with continually renewing the software. The billing frequency is just right. There are no complaints on our end

    In addition to being a user of Zoho CRM, we are a reseller as well. Often, at times our Partners request for on-boarding the platform configuration for them. During such requirements, we have utilized the Professional services team directly from the Zoho CRM team. Our partner feedback was quite positive, throughout.
