Chose Copper
We are very pleased with Copper, and it matches our needs. Better than others I have evaluated and run.
Chose Copper
Very good in terms of price but it does need to incorporate more of the basic features which these companies offer as standard. The reporting needs improvement, things like creating lists on clients is quite difficult compared to HubSpot. You should be able to create lists …
Chose Copper
Zoho is a bit more powerful with more functionality, but it takes a lot more technical knowledge to implement the CRM as one might desire. It also doesn't have the same native integrations we needed so it didn't make sense to choose the platform. It's also an entire ecosystem …
Chose Copper
Much prefer Zoho based on the full spectrum of items Zoho offers
Chose Copper

The software is designed to mimic the look of Google products. This makes it easy to use for people already familiar with Google products.

It syncs with G Suite apps like Google Contacts and Google Calendar, and it is directly accessible from Gmail. It appears as a sidebar …

Chose Copper
I selected Copper because of its interface with all things Google, specifically the sync feature for calendar and capture of email correspondence. It made sense to use Copper because our corporate communications is built on the Google platform. Bloomerang is an excellent tool …
Chose Copper
ProsperWorks had the robust Google Apps integration, Forecasting, Roles/Permissions, and Opportunity Tracking and the price point was right for us. All of the other softwares we evaluated (except Salesforce) where missing one or more of the features. We didn't go with Salesforce
Chose Copper
It is a very powerful tool to the level of Sugar and Salesforce. With its tight integration, as a Google product, it is seamless and really assists in managing communication with clients. While Zoho offers a great low-cost solution, ProsperWorks definitely hits the mark for …

Chose Zoho CRM
Zoho has an all-in-one solution called Zoho One which combines most of the solutions a company of our size requires. Thanks to this, we were able to consolidate our solutions into a single ecosystem while saving money. Zoho also has sales and marketing automation features that …
Chose Zoho CRM
For the prices you're getting a lot of bang for you buck! I used several CRMs that cost substantially more and cannot say I received any benefit for the money over Zoho. Also with the additional suite of products Zoho offers you can have a one stop shop for your companies …

Copper
For small businesses and businesses that use Google Workspace, Copper is a great solution. It integrates well with Google, boosts features and capabilities of email, and provides an easy to use CRM system. It's also cost effective. For larger organizations, a more powerful tool is recommended that is more customizable. Might not work well outside of google either.

Interfacing with our target clients at the correct minute is crucial in today's society. Another valuable include is its capacity to coordinated with other programs. It helps me in keeping track of the every day work emails I send to my colleagues or get. Zoho CRM makes it straightforward to consequence or send out information agreeing to our needs. Zoho makes a difference keep in mind individuals by means of e-mail and pop-ups, which dispenses with the issue of overlooking follow-ups and reminders. This not as it were helps within the organization of this incredible instrument but moreover within the execution of data.

Cons
Copper
  • Window change: for mobile - when you tap on a card from a pipeline it takes you to the lead’s basic info. I wish it would immediately just open all activities so I can quick see notes
  • I usually use Copper on the go. When you open the Copper app, it immediately opens a collab window. I wish it had some sort of easy dashboard….plus a notes area. I open Copper on mobile to quickly search for someone’s name or to take quick notes from a sales meeting

Zoho
  • Need some way to switch a field type without losing the pre-existing data.
  • The settings controls should be broken out differently - I don't like that I can't keep some users from exporting all contact records (i.e., the entire Contacts module) because if the export function is turned off, the export function of Reports for those same modules is also blocked.
  • Frustrating that only 3 custom lookup fields are allowed per module in our license.

Usability
Copper
Realistically, Copper (or any CRM for that matter) can't be everything to every company. It's difficult for any CRM to be well-suited to fit every industry and every business model. Thankfully, Copper's ability to customize things within the platform, as well as Copper's drive for customer success/satisfaction, has led us to be very satisfied with the platform. The only reason Copper isn't a 10/10 is due some of the inevitable shortcomings that any CRM would have because it isn't something that was bespoke for our company. This is no fault of Copper's but it should be mentioned.

Zoho
The methodology of the 'out of the box' user interface is fairly easy to learn. In some cases however, the interface is not consistent throughout the software. Upgrades to the interface has certainly improved some of this--- but now we are seeing the same kinds of inconsistencies across Zoho apps, particularly those more recently added to their platform. This issue is not major in that everybody on staff seems able to learn how to work the programs--- it's just annoying and less than efficient when inconsistent user interfaces or inconsistent terms are used in the programs and/or the requisite documentation.

In my many years using Zoho, I think there were only 1 or 2 days when there was something happening and I was not able to log in. Sure, it wasn't fun and we all panicked a bit, but right after that, all was well and work-life continued. Being cloud based, I'm never worried about losing my iPhone, iPad or Laptop as I know I can log in anywhere on any device and workflow won't stop.

I don't recall every having any issues with a page not loading due to it being a Zoho issue. Anytime I've had any issues with something being wonky, I clear cache and that has always solved the problem. Or a simply computer reboot and we're back, hard at work. Look, I don't expect any product to delivery 100%, 100% of the time but if I had any consistent ongoing issues, I would have left many years ago. I still keep my eyes open to what is new but after a quick evaluation, I know Zoho will long be my home.

There have been a few times when I contacted the "help desk" or "support team" and they just told me to watch a video or join a seminar to learn what I am looking to do. I would have expected someone to take a few minutes and literally walk me through the steps one by one until either I figured it out or accomplished the goal of my request.

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.

When you switch CRMs, you can automatically assume everything isn’t going to match up correctly. We had used Salesforce for 10+ years and had a ton of data and customizations. It was not a clean transfer, but we were able to sort it all out. The only issue that really bothered me was Zoho support. Even simple questions couldn’t be answered over chat, and we would have some team members try for hours to find the right answer

When I switched from being an employee to employer, one of my first tasks was to find a CRM that was suitable for me. Moving from Pipedrive to Copper was an easy decision. I only needed a place to store my contacts, have a great calendar, and be able to email directly from the CRM. Copper has all of that. Pipedrive had some issues and I wanted to move away from them. Copper has been great.

Free user access was one reason to use it more than any other software. Also, for a mid-size organization, the Salesforce cost was a little higher, and Pipedrive was almost similar to Zoho. As we were already using Zoho, we found no urgency to switch.
