Shared Contacts for Gmail vs. Zoho ContactManager (discontinued)

Shared Contacts for Gmail is well suited for organizations that generate and coordinate long term partnerships and that have a big remote working component as a main form or working. It is less appropriate with organizations dedicated to sales and performance based ways of working. I would recommend it for medium size organizations.

Zoho ContactManager [is great at] being able to track interactions for all users. We love that you can access information through the mobile app and makes it super easy to import contacts and create tasks very quickly. So many options and we like that we have the ability to customize fields. Zoho ContactManager does a great job of being able to follow up and track interactions.

• I have been looking for a way to share our contacts within our organization for a while now. This process really improves how we were doing it within Google Sheets.
• My only negative is that it has taken so long for it to be functional within Google.

Very easy to use. Mostly related to the design of the program, but also due to the layout. I find it easy to find what I am looking for. As noted in earlier comments, greater implementation of AI would probably make the program even easier to use, as sometimes finding certain functions is not entirely transparent.

My company used Zendesk Sell for a while, but the profiles weren't as manageable and easy accessed as Shared Contacts [for Gmail.] It resulted easier to update the contact information within Shared Contacts [for Gmail] and maintain the contact flow, than updating in Zendesk, and then manually go into gmail and continue the conversation. As well we don't use Shared Contacts [for Gmail] alone. We do accompany it with an internal operations system, were we manage the clients profile, but the combination between the two is perfect.

Zoho ContactManager [is] easy to learn, use, and the setup is quick! We love the ability to track interactions and future interactions via desktop and mobile app which works great since travel frequently for work and conferences. We also use Zoho ContactManager's email automation which saves time and brings in leads for our company.
