    While doing training and technical support to our users, we need to connect to their system, and we do not go physically. With Zoom Workplace, we can connect with them in the meeting, and they can share their screen, and we can access their screen, which is very easy to give training and support. With other software, you cannot do all these things at once.

    Cons
    Zoho
    • The biggest drawback that I am facing while using the platform is that their ticketing system is not that great [in my opinion]. It does not give us the option to add sales tax and other charges in the invoices which leads to a big problem for us.
    • [I feel] its customer support needs improvement.

    • I don't think there is any malfunction in their solution; it's extremely convenient to use, be it creating a meeting invite, adding people, sending any extra stuff to them. It's quick, and this is the only tool that works seamlessly even on Androids.

    Usability
    Zoho
    I give [Zoho Desk] [an] overall usability score of 9. This is partly due to the search functionality needs improvement. There are several times where I am left unable to find a ticket and have to generate a new one. I am hoping in the future that they will make some changes!

    It's really easy to use - the AI icon is everywhere all over the place in the Zoom client so it's easy to be able to leverage AI whenever you need it, and similarly in the meeting it's easy to find and to use. I don't have complaints here that I can think of

    Support Rating
    Zoho
    As Zoho Support is based in a different timezone to ours it can be an issue that we cannot get an immediate response to an issue. But I will say that once their Support is in the office they are fairly good to respond. they have resolved almost all issues I have told them about, but Zoho have also made system changes and not communicated these beforehand which means we are faced with something new and cannot get support on this until their support team is in the office

    We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow customization by our internal dev team, to derive better value from the service where it natively didn't do what we needed it to. FreeAgent was okay for a while, but Zoho Desk has allowed a vast improvement in our service offering to end customers.

    Compared to Microsoft Teams, Zoom AI Companion is a clear pioneer in this remote and virtual collaboration platform, leading the way. It is possible to have a remote meeting on both Microsoft Teams and Zoom AI Companion. But Zoom AI Companion provides
    more productivity and time savings to users. Zoom AI Companion continues to enhance its features to provide value to the product.

    • We've been able to significantly accelerate our quest production, enabling us to give many more youth a voice on our platform, and give the kids who play [...] many more windows into one another's worlds!
    • It's increased our fundraising capacity since grant applications require pulling together insights from funder meetings, advice from previous grantees, outside research, and testimonials from users. ZoomMate helps to synthesize and package it efficiently so we can do more.

They run on triggers — events, schedules, or agentic logic — and can be configured with approval checkpoints to keep you in the loop where approvals are needed.Screenshot of Create: AI-first productivity tools
