Cons

Over the past 6 years the feature set has not significantly expanded
Integrations with 3rd party apps (DropBox, Google Drive, Slack) is either through 3rd party plugins or rudimentary at best
Frequent interface upgrades and complicated permissions settings makes getting new employees up to speed fiddly in some cases

I would say some UI enhancements, although this feature is on it's way with the soon to be released canvas builder. This will allow us to create a homepage view within each module so our users get all the important info they need in a beautifully designed layout to optimize their time spent in Zoho CRM.
The integrations with Zoho social, or other social media tools. This may stem from my lack of effort to better utilize this existing feature
To be honest I really can't say much is missing from Zoho CRM. One last thing to add is that there are so many functionalities of Zoho CRM that configuring each to optimize our teams success is difficult. It's important to take advantage of the features that best reflect our companies internal processes.

Confluence 9.5

Based on 18 answers

I am confident that Atlassian can come with additional and innovative macros and functions to add value to Confluence. In 6 months, Atlassian transformed a good collaborative tools into a more comprehensive system that can help manage projects and processes, as well as "talk" with other Atlassian products like Jira. We are in fact learning more about Jira to evaluate a possible fit to complement our tool box.

We went through an exhaustive process doing this evaluation and in the process took the time to really understand the objectives and requirements of all groups within the organization. Now that the system is in place it needs to be used and refined over a long period to time in order to get the full value. As a result you need to consider the long-term and renewal knowing that the system will get better the more you use it.

Usability

Confluence 8.5

Based on 11 answers

Confluence can - and in my personal opinion, it will - be a bit hard to use in the first moment. Atlassian is a great company and is eager to help you with any question you have, though. The interface seems to be a bit clumsy at first but the customization options are enough to make it easier and simpler. In general, Confluence is easy to use when you understand what each section does, but this can take a while.

Zoho CRM 8.1

Based on 16 answers

Overall this product is not easy to use, integrate or manage. I have used many different CRM platforms and I find this platform to cost a lot of time and stress trying to manage or integrate. There are many other options that will be a better purchase option, give a greater ROI and save your overall organization time in their day to day actions.

Performance

Confluence 8.8

Based on 9 answers

Pages load very quickly, which makes it useful for quickly obtaining information. The search functionality is also very quick and is able to parse through all of the documents to provide the most relevant results for the query. Other information based software gets bogged down, but so far Atlassian Confluence maintains its performance.

Support Rating

Confluence 8.3

Based on 44 answers

This rating is specifically for Atlassian's self-help documentation on their website. Often times, it is not robust enough to cover a complex usage of one of their features. Frequently, you can find an answer on the web, but not from Atlassian. Instead, it is usually at a power user group elsewhere on the net.

Zoho CRM 7.9

Based on 20 answers

Sometimes they tell you to send an email, or they may be slow to actually solve the issue. They have support for paid and unpaid users, and chat, phone, email channels. You will be sure to reach someone, but in some cases you need a solution within a few hours and may have to wait a couple of days.

Alternatives Considered

[Atlassian] Confluence is backed by direct, and superior support from Atlassian versus their vendors. For end users, [Atlassian] Confluence provides way more options for layout and content, while also being simpler and easier to use. Most other tools also require a higher level of interaction with IT or global administrators. With confluence, both content creators and consumers can draft an consume content with a much smoother, more intuitive experience.

ZoHo's reporting features are much simpler than Salesforce. Much more intuitive and simple.Salesforce has much more options - however they are more complicated to use. Salesforce reports pretty much must be setup by administrators. Lay users have not been able to quickly make reports as easily as they could would ZoHo.Salesforce has a console view that is much easier to utilize.

Return on Investment

Confluence has increased cross-departmental visibility into content, activities, and projects
Confluence has also increased collaboration across teams
The lack of a workflow has created a wild west environment where stakeholders are confused of where to create and find various types of content

Love it or leave it, a CRM is integral to sales operations. Zoho may not be the best, but it gets the job done.
When reps have consistently used it, sales and conversions have increased.
Great to have visibility across the organization and multiple tools without paying a fortune like some other CRMs
