Zoho Commerce vs. Zoho One

Zoho Commerce is not a viable platform for and online store for smaller companies who do not have a large amount of products to sell - the amount of effort that was required for initial set up would be quite vast and possibly not quite worth the effort. It is however GREAT for larger companies that have a large amount of products to sell and desire a low maintenance method of selling products online, even if the products are made to order.

Zoho One helps me to create and document each of my closures by creating deals. Zoho One helps me to generate reports, which helps me to track my contact. Zoho One helps me on creating tasks and reminds me to get it done on time. Zoho One keeps each steps and actions I took from lead to a deal.

• Customized dashboards
• Easy to see the kpis for different aspects of my business
• And offers a consolidation of CRM campaign and other applications without having to use other technologies from other companies so it's great to consulate consolidated
• The analytics is great what else
• Collaboration tools are excellent

• 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.

ZOHO was cost-friendly compared to the above tools. This is the biggest pro ZOHO has. Using the above tools requires a manager who works and sets everything up in one place so that others can easily access the data, but in ZOHO, it is very easy to segregate data and use it effectively even when you are new to the tools.

• Most Zoho One apps are well priced so it is cost-effective
• Help and support is provided very rapidly. This enhances the useability of each of the products. Sales reps keep on our backs constantly.
• The ability to add contributing editors to app is great. This helps control overall subscription costs.
