Zoho Campaigns Single User Review
When I relied heavily on Zoho Campaigns, I was a Consultant in an independent role and acted as all departments for my company. I used the tools internally for outreach to generate new client engagements as well as to support various clients' ad-hoc email campaign needs. This allowed me to keep costs low which was a high priority.
- Flexible Pricing - Offers many affordable options.
- Ease of Use - The apps are all simple and easy to use.
- Campaign Content - Fresh new content for creating your email campaigns.
- Reporting could be improved and have more customization.
- Integration between CRM and Campaign needs improvements
- Email templates could enable users the ability to create emails from scratch
We're using Zoho Campaigns to replace our previous email campaign management tools. It's being used by customer success management, partner management, and marketing to engage current customers, partners, and prospects.
- Decent user interface
- Native Integration with Zoho CRM
- Contact sync with CRM is very difficult
- Campaigns sync with CRM Campaigns module is challenging
We use Zoho Campaign for our mailing campaign and promotion, but also our segmented customer groups (special offers, events, exclusive project reporting). It's beneficial and straightforward to use thanks to its intuitive and easy-to-learn interface. It helped us move from drafting individual messages (not appealing, boring, and not good-looking at all) to more beautiful, concise, arranged emails.
- Ready-made newsletters and templates import.
- Engagement measuring.
- A/B Test campaigns.
- Link tracking and recipient activity tracking.
- Synchronization with other Zoho products like the CRM.
- Pricing.
- Lack of fonts.
- Maybe a feature called 'smart lists' that groups users by their interaction with earlier campaigns, etc.

Stay away from Zoho Campaigns at all cost!
We wanted to replace our Mailchimp account with Zoho Campaigns in order to schedule out mass emails. We also wanted to do email funnels that would help take our customers on a segmented journey based on different tags in our Zoho Campaigns CRM. This ended up being a very big mistake on our part.
- They have an easy to use front-end system.
- They have easy to get ahold of customer service.
- There is a lot of great FAQs that help people take the next steps fairly easily.
- All emails sent by Zoho Campaigns go to spam.
- Their customer service, although easy to reach, will never actually take responsibility for any issues.
- Dozens of features they pitch as active features do not exist.

Zoho Campaigns is a Cumbersome Juggernaut
We use Zoho Campaigns in conjunction with the rest of the Zoho suite. It's used for multiple clients for various communication purposes, both internal and external marketing. We build and schedule email campaigns within it, and send to lists according to our content calendar. We've implemented this program, again, in conjunction with other Zoho programs, across multiple companies.
- Integrates with its own suite
- Gives insights on email analytics
- Keeps email campaigns legal and compliant
- Not easy to use and learn
- Support is spotty and curt
- The forms and templates they provide are atrocious
- Slows down websites if you use their embedding features

One of the best partners in digital marketing.
My sales and marketing department use this software. Being a real estate company it is very much necessary to communicate with our clients frequently about real estate news and offers. So we use this software to maintain that communication. Our marketing team use this software for sending newsletters to our clients on weekly basis. For real estate projects promotions we use this software.
- The best thing about this software is its integration with G-suite.
- It's user interface is so easy that any user can learn it quickly. And it is very easy to operate.
- It helps users to engage subscribers via various social media platforms.
- It allows users to compare various email campaigns.
- Its campaign tracking tool is not very comprehensive. Sometimes I find difficult to trace the status of some of my subscribers.
- Limitation of pre-loaded templates.
- It doesn't allow users to create their own templates. Users have to use pre-loaded templates only. They can edit those templates as per their requirements.

STAY AWAY FROM ZOHO CAMPAIGNS IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY!
We use Zoho Campaigns for lead generation and communicating with existing customers. It is solely used by the marketing department.
- I use it because it is a "free" program that "comes with" our CRM tool. I don't find this to be a useful tool at all. It is a major pain to use and I don't recommend it to anyone who does "real" email marketing. I've been doing email marketing for 18 years and I have never used a worse program than this one. Seriously - take my advice and use MailChimp. The marketing automation that Zoho claims this feature has, is awful. After using it for almost two years, I dread every time I have to create a new email.
- Zoho should start by throwing this tool in the trash and then recreate it from scratch. There are so many flaws I would be here all year trying to list them all. Start by the fact that creating templates is an absolute nightmare. You'll find over and over again that something that should be easily executed can't be done. It is NOT a plug and play program. Everything is trial and error.
- The reporting SUCKS bad. It gives you basics, but if you want any real insights... I have to export all my data into my own spreadsheets to compare results from multiple campaigns.
- Customer service is B.A.D. You'll spend HOURS upon HOURS with a tech support team that knows less than you. The only time anything gets accomplished is when you work with a programmer. BUT, you'll seriously waste 1-2 hours explaining a problem to someone who is only taking notes. You'll get so frustrated when they try to show you how they think it works and you respond with... "I know how this works because I have used it for a year - the problem is that it stopped working the way it always did before. They will argue with you. You will respond accordingly. They will close tickets without resolution. Speaking of tickets, you'll never get one. They say they will take care of it and a week later you will follow-up and no one will have any idea what is going on. You'll start from scratch and be even more frustrated. You will learn to "fix" it on your own or deal with it, broken.
- After two years, I'm still not sure if my emails even make it to an inbox. When asked, you'll be told that you need to write better subject lines. I call bull****. Don't rely on this product to deliver your email. And don't question Zoho, as it will always be your fault.
- You can't use this tool to send to ANY group email addresses. You can't even override the system. I have a lot of clients that use info@xxx.com or sales@xxx.com, etc. and I have to send them personal emails since this will not allow them to be sent. They say it is to protect them from getting blacklisted. I call bull**** again.
- The templates offered by the system are crap - unless you only send holiday emails. Not a large selection of just generic templates. You'll be pulling your hair out trying to use their builder to create your own. In the end, you'll end up sending emails with nothing "pretty" about them.
We currently use Zoho Campaigns to share updates of services or products with existing clients, or with the database of prospects generated from social networks or websites. One of the great advantages is that it lets us follow up on open email campaigns to improve our approach with potential customers. Anyone in the organization can use this software, but a review is always done before scheduling.
- Elegant easy to customize predesigned templates
- Performance reports
- Campaigns through social networks
- Automation options for new subscribers
- Definitely they should improve the editor more.
- There are others newsletter softwares that have more complete and easier to use functions.
- The buttons to share must be better, more updated and easier to place.
- If possible, guarantee inbox
Zoho Campaigns is being used to manage email marketing efforts within the marketing department of the organization. With its connection and reliance on Zoho CRM is perhaps its greatest strength, as it allows the marketing department to organize its efforts across the various silos. The insights drive and direct the email campaigns.
- UI is amazing. Really on point
- Automation! Automation of email campaigns, social media outreach, everything
- Again, great autoresponders. Almost as good as an AI
- Better templates?
- Easier updating of templates?
- The video training is a little obtuse/vague/hard to come by
We use Zoho Campaigns to do mass outreach emails to targeted prospective customers. Specifically, we import our contacts from Zoho CRM into Campaigns and maintain a sync for those individuals. In addition to mass emailing, Zoho Campaigns has specific features which help improve open rates such as A/B testing, merge fields, and send scheduling.
- Contact Management. You can build lists via imports from Zoho CRM or via uploaded Excel files.
- A/B Testing. Determine which subject lines and body text have the most impact.
- Limited number of syncs. If you run lots of mailing lists that require regular updates with Zoho CRM, you may find yourself short.

Zoho Campaigns - An Easy Way to Reach Your Lists
We use it company wide to promote our blog, update targeted lists about program changes, and send greetings to ALL lists or customers. It is an effective way to reach the masses, and the integration with Zoho CRM contacts is huge!
- The integration with Zoho CRM is key. It makes creating segmented and targeted lists very easy. Plus, it keeps stats updated within the CRM module.
- Its UI is simple and easy to use. There are likely some that are flashier, but simple stupid works well for our approach.
- Sending out campaigns is a pain free process and can be managed from the mobile app. The reports and stats available once the campaign is sent are very helpful.
- The social campaigns section we have not used much, probably because it only works with Twitter and Facebook, and we are more active on Google+ and LinkedIn.
- The templates are nice, but I have seen other services with better pre-built templates.
- To segment lists can be a bit hard to configure initially, however exporting lists from our CRM is simple.
