We are using Zoho CRM as a company-wide CRM tool. We are an international company with head offices in 6 countries. We. use Zoho CRM for our sales, emails, and supply chain. although we for support we have another tool.
  • Sales pipelines
  • integrations
  • custom automations
  • Support from Zoho
  • Support modules
  • Custom object functionality
  • AI functionality
Zoho CRM is great when it comes to native integrations, most tech-tack companies use Zoho CRM to integrate with them well. Zoho CRM support is very responsive and if you need some custom codes for your functionality they are happy to help. One thing that Zoho CRM is lacking is the use of AI functionality. it is very basic at this time. Most of CRMs area already using AI functionality to help sales teams get a kick start to their work.

We use Zoho CRM to store contact data for various programs in one place, to quickly pull reports on both qualitative and quantitative metrics, and to streamline processes. Before using the CRM, we had issues around data management and different programs tracking different metrics, all of which were stored in multiple Excel spreadsheets that had to be consistently updated. Outdated data was a recurring issue, as was inconsistencies in column headings and actual data stored across the years. Zoho CRM made it possible to standardize the data we track and to easily create KPIs across the different data subsets.
  • Comparative charts
  • Workflow automation
  • Flexible setup for customization
  • Need some way to switch a field type without losing the pre-existing data.
  • The settings controls should be broken out differently - I don't like that I can't keep some users from exporting all contact records (i.e., the entire Contacts module) because if the export function is turned off, the export function of Reports for those same modules is also blocked.
  • Frustrating that only 3 custom lookup fields are allowed per module in our license.
For customizing a CRM without needing specialist support, Zoho CRM is great.

The admin UI is pretty intuitive and easy to use. Zoho CRM also works great for tracking contact records and relationships to other records. For instance, we run 10+ different programs, and we need to track every contact's relationship to any and all of our programs. Besides the program relationship, we also track organization/employer relationships, host site relationships for interns, team relationships for several of our programs, and we are starting to track grant disbursement as well. Zoho CRM's "joiner modules" handle all of these different connection points fairly well, though the data import process can be a pain.

Sales, marketing, and business development are the departments that use Zoho, previously we use HubSpot. Every department has its own objective using Zoho, for example, in sales, Zoho helps me organize my contacts by filtering them into some categories and helps me to do the sales process from prospecting to after-sales. The good thing about Zoho for me right now. I have unlimited contacts slots and I can send mass email 1000 emails per day, Zoho functions itself more or less similar to HubSpot but I can the UX is quite more complicated, most of the steps started from setting up
  • Contacts management
  • User Interface
  • Variety of function
  • User Experience
  • Mass email , is it possible to sent directly from my inbox ?
  • The dashboard activity leader board to keep us motivated
The pros: price-wise, is comparatively cheaper wide function variety user interface the cons: The user experience ( the step by step on using every function )

Zoho CRM is being used by our sales office in the USA as well as foreign offices. It gives us a central location to enter all products once they have been released by engineering. And then [the products] can be added to the price books for the foreign offices at the rate they would like to sell the products so that the conversion rate to their currency does not need to be calculated for every order. It also allows us to better track and organize our orders and total sales globally. When the prices increase, we can utilize excel to update the prices and bulk import all the new prices as well as the price books instead of touching every record multiple times to accommodate all the offices and currencies.
  • Import bulk records.
  • Custom workflows can be set up to email persons within the company when a task needs to be done once a trigger action has occurred.
  • Customize modules and layouts to suit your specific business needs.
  • Some of the reporting features could use a little more flexibility to allow more filtering options within the report without creating multiple reports for each salesperson.
  • The ability to download unlimited back ups at any time without additional fees.
  • The use of Zoho Sheet within ALL modules.
Zoho CRM is very well suited if you have a large amount of products you sell within one business system. It is less appropriate if you have two business systems (say Zoho and an older outdated program), one being utilized by sales & the other by manufacturing, that are not both willing to update to the same platform. This creates a lot of extra work because details have to be entered in[to] both programs, and the two programs will not communicate with each other.

We use it for the entire spectrum of Pre-sales, sales, and post-sales record management. However, we use GetResponse for email marketing, although Zoho CRM does have Zoho campaigns as well. Record management includes lead entry, appointment setting, follow-ups, post-sales support records such as invoices, payment receipts, and the like. It is also our go-to for long-term customer relationship management. Zoho CRM helps us keep a close eye on tele-caller activity and empowers them to schedule such in a very organized way.
  • Customer record management
  • Sales management
  • Salesforce monitoring
  • Automatic generation of customer web details such as social media activity, etc.
  • Downloading reports to Excel, etc. is still a bit archaic
  • None other for now. We love Zoho CRM
Well-suited for any business that has many customers and especially suited for B2C like ours where there is constant selling to new customers. Thus if you are a sales or marketing-driven business, one has to have this.

Good Application for Tracking of sales and Deals. Easy to create workflows, Email Templates ,Blueprint. First we were maintaining details of our customer in Excel sheets. With passing of days we lost touch with our client. This result in leaving of our customer to new vendor. With Zoho CRM not only we kept details of our customer but i can categorize them, schedule notifications, always updated on my customer activity.
  • Email Templates
  • You can integrate whatsapp directly without any third party vendor.
  • You can create workflows simply by low code functions.
  • Customize whole CRM according to your needs
  • Only 2 subform are provided in Enterprise edition. Need more
  • Some improvement need to be made on creating function
  • Export pdf option need to be made for every module. Right now it is available for inventory.
For Sales, Call center it is well suited. It is mostly well suited for small business who want to switch to crm rather then excel. It is money efficient. It is not that much appropriate for factories, production and Engineering companies. Lots of customization need to be made for these companies.

We used Zoho CRM for lead management, account/contact management, sales opportunity management, and a little bit of other marketing automation. It helped us move out of Excel spreadsheets into a CRM. We qualify/disqualify leads, log notes and emails, and maintain all of our sales records within the Zoho CRM. The sales pipeline is completely managed out of this new CRM
  • Sales Process Automation - Stages and workflows
  • Reporting and dashboarding
  • Lead, contact and account management
  • Data importing functionality via excel csv can be made better in terms of auto field matching
  • Self training video library can be made for easier onboarding
  • While many B2B solutions offer seamless integration with Salesforce and HubSpot, the same level of integration is not available for Zoho CRM
Well Suited

1. Leads and opportunities Management - Efficiently manage leads, track deals, and automate sales workflows
2. Workflows - Automated workflows to update dependent fields, send user notifications etc
3. Reporting and dashboarding - Custom-built reports to track the team's performance, lead quota, sales pipeline, etc

Less Appropriate

1. Mobile Access - The mobile UI is bad and difficult to use

We are using Zoho CRM for sales team and also marketing team,
Our Accounts team use Zoho CRM to update the payment from the customer
Our operations team use Zoho CRM for operational requirements.
  • Adding the lead and known the source of lead
  • Stage of leads
  • Helps to send customizable mail to customer
  • Easy to create deal for the lead and the task in the Zoho CRM.
  • auto trigger for the customer follow up.
  • Dashboard view
  • Task management pop up
It is well suited for Sales and Marketing, but it helps our organization to add attachments, especially when it helps the Accounts team add an invoice in the CRM, and also add notes and description of each leads.

Our company sells SERVICES. We have customers that find our website by search terms. Once a customer fills out a form on our site, it starts the process, using a CRM
1. Email response with a personal questionnaire
2. Reviewing responses
Then, the CRM really starts - if the person doesn't respond to the questionnare --> follow up
If the person answers the CRM - they start the flow of selling our services.
  • Setting up flows, based on customer responses
  • access to customer details so that campaigns can be targeted
  • contact information
  • our team found it very challenging to integrate directly to our wordpress site
  • while there may be a way to integrate to the SMS system, we have not discovered how a sales rep would be able to get an sms when customers leave their contact info (not through the app)
  • we have one team member who still works with outlook calendar. it was easy to integrate with google calendar, but a second calendar, depending upon the user
We searched different CRM platforms and noticed that ZOHO was well-priced, but some reviews said it didn't support forms well. IN our case, we already had forms on our wp site, so we did not need to use that aspect. instead, we used an integrator, so I don't have a review on that aspect of the CRM as we're not using that feature. This works for our company, so we are not using the standard automation with zoho forms.

We use Zoho for a variety of tasks like to keep our database of leads updated. Also to send emails. Mainly, we use it to as our sales pipeline. This helps us understand how many warm leads we have, how many are super interested that we can potentially close in the next quarter or so.

  • Easy to use
  • Affordable
  • Scalable
  • UI
  • Design
  • Customer Service
  • Email Marketing
If you are on a budget, Zoho is probably one of the most affordable CRMs out there.

But if you want to really scale and have a huge database, I think it's not for that.

Especially with marketing campaigns, it has tons of room for improvement.

Also, email deliverability with email marketing campaigns is an issue.

We have been using Zoho to provide quotes to potential clients. We uploaded a template that makes it easy to provide quotes and track them. We're able to differentiate which team member sent the quote, but everyone is able to follow-ups. This is important as it allows our team to reply quickly, so the customer does not need to wait until the initial person giving the quote is back on duty. We're also able to send photos and other collateral to clients.
The work flow of Zoho is nice. We've tried other CRMs and they've been too complicated. Perhaps they were good for large businesses, however for a small business, Zoho is perfect and scalable. Our team was easily trained on the software and we were able to connect our livery software to the quote system. It's fantastic being able to automate connections so that work is not duplicated. We've been able to win more business by using Zoho as it also lets us set reminders to follow-up with clients if we haven't heard back.
  • organizing the sales pipeline
  • letting you load time-saving templates for quotes
  • provides reminders for needed follow-ups so they don't slip through the cracks
  • requires an initial input of information about a potential client - this would be better if it auto-filled with the quote request's information
  • can be a bit confusing navigating the stages of a potential sale, but not too bad
  • a tab or link to all open sales quotes would be nice
For a small business, Zoho is a great way to have a CRM that fits your budget. It is well worth it as it can be set-up to send reminders to your sales team to do follow-ups to quotes, which is important in getting contracts signed. Clients always love quick, accurate responses.

Zoho allowed us to consolidate our database and marketing solutions into one ecosystem.
  • Customization

  • Pricing
  • Automation can be complicated
  • The learning curve from other systems
  • Not the most user-friendly
It is an excellent solution for companies with a lot of data and on a tight budget.
It's less suited for companies with limited technical skills and systems understanding.

We use ZOHO CRM for multiple purposes, mainly:-
1. Project Management : We use it as collaborative tool for team, assign work here and keep track of progress and all other normal features.
2. Marketing; lead management: We use to keep tracks of both digital and physical marketing campaigns, ROI of campaign and other related use cases.
  • It is good tool for quick setup of work distribution system
  • It tracks and calculate ROI of campaigns very well
  • It has vast ecosystem and connection with outside apps makes it much more powerfull
  • It provide free credits to startups.
  • It is particularly not good for Agile management.
  • Initial setup is little tedious; however thier support is really good and help you in all sorts of customisations
Is very powerfull marketing campiagn tracking tool if you integrate it properly with outside apps. I am using it with Mailchimp, Google Ads and survey monkey to get full insights. As mentioned earlier, Zoho CRM teal collaboration tool, it is not meant for Agile management so not suitable for sprints etc. Please note Zoho provides free credit to startups.

Our organization has multiple departments that work as a team. Having the CRM allows us to have a centralized location to input information regarding a case. By having the Zoho CRM, it cuts down on excessive emails and phone calls to get information. And it's great that it can be customized for our constant emerging needs. It's also good that it houses the information for future needs as well. We can always refer back to a customer for information needed for a new case.
  • Zoho CRM has so much space to capture lots of information.
  • Zoho CRM can be customized for your organization's needs.
  • Zoho CRM is great for running reports to help make business decisions.
  • We love all the different dashboards we can create.
  • It would be nice if there was a calculator within the program
  • Filters in reports could be better
Zoho CRM is well suited for organizations that have multiple departments all working together on common cases/situations. It's where you can look for almost any question/answer you may have about a particular customer. A wealth of information can be housed in each customer's file. It may not be appropriate for a small company without lots of moving parts to each customer.

We use Zoho CRM in our business to track and forecast sales pipeline, as well as to record all contact and account information for prospects, customers, and partners. The Zoho CRN product addresses the issue that many, if not all, organizations experience data clutter. It allows us to track historically key performance indicators, in order to make sound business decisions both on a finance, sales, operations, and product front.
  • Dynamic Search
  • Module Customization
  • Template Creation
  • Role Based Access
  • Process Automation
  • No-Code Integrations - Deluge script development needed in order to do many basic CRM tasks
  • Lack of Native 3rd Party Integrations
Zoho CRM would appear to function great for basic CRM functionality. It does well in the customization of record fields and role-based access. However, for more advanced data flows or integrations with other 3rd party applications, it requires a lot of low-code data process builds. Many native integrations, that would be available in Hubspot or Salesforce, just simply isn't available for Zoho, so a lot of additional work needs to be done to integrate.

In my opinion, nothing syncs properly. In my experience when support is requested, it is simply not given. I cancelled, phoned, emailed, left reviews, asked, begged. I believe I wasted my time and money.
I believe it's expensive, clunky and No support is given. In my opinion, Zoho CRM with its plethora of apps is extremely user unfriendly. I believe It is a job in itself that does not aid business but hampers it

Zoho crm is used for all lead management, sales stage funnelling, and customer invoicing.
  • Forecasting is improved
  • Live website lead chat function - can reach out directly to site visitors
  • Customer insight record - shows leads social details for connecting
  • REPORTING DASHBOARD IS LIMITED
  • SYSTEM NOT AS SLICK AS HUBSPOT
  • HAVE TO PAY FOR OTHER ZOHO PRODUCTS, IF TRYING TO BE TOO AMBITIOUS WITH CRM
Zoho crm is great for lead-gen campaigns that attract visitors to website. It also provides functionality to turn this lead into a client. It's an end-2-end system that works well, albeit with some limitations. Zoho crm is not as clean or easy to use as hubspot, but it is so much cheaper.

  • Lead Management
  • Customer Relationship Management
  • Sales funnel reporting
  • Reporting
  • Integration with lead magnets
  • Ease of New user understanding of the system.
In case of mass lead managment of companies and sales teams Zoho CRM is very effective and if used in tandem with integrated tools such as email and lead magnets can be a powerful option for any companies sales funnel realisation.

We currently use it to store customer data like addresses, contact info, meeting notes, etc. We are trying to create a way to run reports for all of our customers and do data analytics.
  • Does a great job of tracking numbers.
  • Makes all reports easily customizable.
  • Easy to re-assign and assign support tickets.
  • The support aspect itself has someone to speak with instead of typing back and forth.
  • The reports don't sort by alphabetical order all of the time.
Any scenario where there is a wide customer base would help for general tracking purposes.

We use Zoho CRM to gather leads, potentials, contacts, etc., which help us organize our partners, customers, and vendors. The mobile app makes it easy for our sales reps to enter data on the road quickly. The Zoho CRM platform plugs in well with the Zoho Suite of applications, including Zoho Desk.
  • Easy to use.
  • Available on multiple platforms (web, mobile, app).
  • Provides integrations for 3rd party apps.
  • Difficult using the merge feature (duplicated records in CRM).
  • Updates take a while to merge between the suite of programs (CRM to Desk).
Great for small businesses looking to better manage their data points on customer interactions. Would not recommended for very large companies based on my personal experience with the software.

We use Zoho CRM for all aspects of managing our client relationships. From marketing, through sales, through delivery, or our services, everything is tracked, organized, analyzed, and stored in Zoho CRM. We needed a solution that allowed for tracking, analyzing, and reporting from "step 1" all the way through our client's journey and kept everything client-related sorted and associated correctly. Zoho CRM has been that solution for us.
  • Quick and easy setup.
  • Great analytics and reporting.
  • Budget friendly.
  • Fast and seamless integration with the entire suite of Zoho products and services.
  • Automation is not that user friendly.
  • Speed (in terms of refreshing after actions or completed) is somewhat slow.
  • Customization is somewhat limited and not that intuitive.
Zoho CRM is well suited as one solution and works best (in my opinion) if you are committed to the Zoho suite of products with which it integrates seamlessly. If there are other solutions being used for some or all of the functionality provided by Zoho CRM, there is likely to be redundancy, and there may be issues with integration.

We use Zoho to manage our customers information, any customer issues (Helpdesk), and to manage new product development through the use of the Projects product.
  • Manage development through Projects
  • Manage customer information, CRM
  • Manage customer issues through Desk
  • We need to develop the customer opportunities side of the CRM to a much higher level
Being able to manage design resources across multiple projects is very helpful. With Zoho we do not have to launch a MS Project Server to accomplish this activity.

On a less useful side, as we currently have the CRM setup, we have a difficult time creating an opportunity view of all current quotes.

Zoho CRM is pretty much the core of our business. We have all the key information there. Some of our business problems are that we didn't have a way to future use with our customers until we found Zoho. Now we are happy to work with a tool that helps us bring the best of our company into a single source of truth.
  • Organized information
  • Amazing personalization capabilities
  • Great workflow rules
  • Their support is too bad from my experience
  • They can personalize the software a little bit more
  • There are key apps we use that can't be integrated with Zoho.
If you are running a campaign to revive old of former customers, it's great to have Zoho, because it allows your company to create filters and send automated emails to key customers. If you are planning to personalize your system according to your needs with multiple formulas, please consider to have a Zoho partner since the support provide by the team, even when you have premium support is terrible in my opinion.
