    Chose Zoho Cliq
    Slack is equally good but as we went for ZohoOHO CRM it made sense to go in for Zoho Cliq to benefit from the integrations. Zoho Cliq is intuitive and user-friendly with no extra learning required. Google Chat had very limited capabilities and was not very user-friendly. Micr…

    Chose Zoho Cliq
    Essentially the same style of platform. Aside from any "bots" (which I don't use anyways), they appear to do the same thing. But Zoho Cliq comes packed into the Zoho One platform. It's a useful component in a suite of communication tools that allows our office to work and speak …

    Chose Zoho Cliq
    My all-time favorite tool in this space is Slack but Cliq is a close second. Cliq is essentially built to mimic Slack but is not quite as cutting-edge with some of their features. We opted to use Cliq over Slack because of the interconnectedness it offered with all the other …

    Chose Zoho Cliq
    We selected Zoho because it was already a part of the Zoho toolset we were using. They offered a free trial which was a big help in our purchasing decision. Our team looked at one other alternative but we weren't satisfied with the pricing quote we got from them and the fact …

    Zoho
    It is very well suited as a messaging tool, where one needs to communicate quickly to a colleague the status of a particular task or an update to the work. This is especially useful for field work where the field team can report the work done and any additional resources required. We have faced issues when virtual meetings are held for a team of 10+ members with a lot of drop-offs and poor quality of reception (audio & video). While some may be attributed to poor internet connection, we do not face the same issue when using Zoom meetings. This area requires strengthening.

    Pros
    Zoho
    • External channels allow in-office staff a private channel to directly relay messages to customers.
    • Automated notifications through Zoho CRM can be easily triggered.
    • Audio/screen share components offer zoom-quality calling without extraneous setups.

    Cons
    Zoho
    • Initial set up can be a little daunting if you aren't a tech-savvy person. For large organizations, this might not matter since you would have a dedicated IT team that will handle it (as we did) but if you are a small business owner looking to set this up yourself, I imagine it would take some trial and error to get working.

    Zoho Cliq has become an integral part of our daily business. Every single member of our team who has a job involving a computer has an active Zoho Cliq license and uses the tool continuously throughout the day. It cuts down on meetings and allows the team to feel very connected to one-another even though we are distributed geographically.

    It's available 24X7. We have never faced any serious issues with the connectivity. Whenever we faced issues, it has been traced to a browser issue or Windows app issue or a mobile issue.

    Online Training
    Zoho
    Excellent support. Online training and supporting videos, and resources are more than sufficient to get started. Moreover, their support channel, especially the chat window, is very helpful and provides an instant solution to all our queries. For any complicated issue, they always get back by email with the solution and on occasions even call back.

    Implementation Rating
    Zoho
    Implementation is very simple and easy. Create a Zoho account (free or paid), send/ receive an invite, log in, verify your credentials and get started. Admin would have created the channels for you, and you start contributing. The entire process is smooth, and you can get started within minutes. The Admin has to work at the backend, initially, and decide on the permissions for the individual and the team and set up permissions for access to other applications too. This needs to be planned out, tested and implemented.

    Scalability

    The system works perfectly well. At times, we have faced issues with the desktop application - it doesn't start, or takes time to start, or even logs off on its own. However, the browser as well as the mobile application work perfectly well, and we have never faced issues with them

    • reduced our internal email clutter, saving about 10 hours a week for staff who used to spend time sorting through emails.
