    Cons
    Sparkrock
    • Many of the improvements are being met with each upgrade. Altus Dynamics has an idea portal that customers can add ideas to and vote on other customer ideas. This means that most issues that come up are resolved with each new upgrade.

    • In my opinion, SUPPORT IS AWFUL!!!
    • If you want to get in touch with a support representative, your best bet is to call the sales number and demand to speak with an agent.
    • Each of the tools operates in a silo, from a support perspective. Some applications, like books, have chat-based support and others require an e-mail.
    • In my experience, expect any e-mail to the main support e-mail to go unanswered.
    • The first year of support was great, but after we renewed for the second year, it has become terrible.

    We've been a long time user and are always tweaking our automation to gain efficiencies while improving our service levels. It's pretty easy to come up with what you want to do and then do it yourself. Though, if you're looking to do some really tricked out automations, use of a Zoho Consultant would be a better idea as you'll get exactly what you need much quicker.

    Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

    • Real-time data that is available at our fingertips
    • Flexibility of the system to address changing needs over time
    • Elimination of the huge administrative burdens that we were experiencing as a result of the previous system due to lack of integration

    There is nothing quite close to what Zoho offers with Zoho One in terms of breadth and depth of applications integrated together as a single product. Also, you get to manage a single license and user management on Zoho One, whereas you would need to work with multiple vendors and also simultaneously take care of billing and contract management with all of them. It is much easier with Zoho One
