(101-125 of 297)Zoho working as expected

- Track projects.
- Maintain pricing.
- Quote tool.
- Easier integration with MS office.
- Sheets app needs work.
Digital Marketing Company Review on Zoho CRM
- Manages subscriptions.
- Customer status.
- Project management.
- It would be great to get more modules speaking to each other.
- Better integration with other software.
- Duplicate leads can be an ongoing issue.
- Tracking news leads gained through social media advertisements.
- Synchronizing with its partner email system, Zoho Campaigns.
- Creating reports.
- I wish I could run a filter for my contacts and download the results directly into a .csv file.
Take a look or a second look at Zoho. This is one that you get WAY MORE than you pay for!
- Customization.
- Training.
- Feature enhancement.
- Flexibility.
- In-person training.
- More support when rolling out new applications on the Zoho One package.
- Customer contact records.
- Follow up procedures made easier.
- Linking events to calendars and customer accounts.
- 3rd party app integration.
- Better access to customer phone support.
- Better calendar integration.
Less appropriate for larger enterprise needs with many 3rd party applications needing integration.
We are so glad we left Salesforce
- Analytics
- Automation
- Web Forms
- Integration
- Integration with PowerBi
- Customization
- Zoho Desk Sync
- Extremely Customizable
- Easy to Use
- The company can decide how simple or complex the platform is.
- Organizes Data Well
- More formatting customization features. For example, starting with the standard template and just being able to change contrast, boarded, field shape, etc. We can build our modules from scratch and start with some very different templates to customize how each module looks, but I would rather be able to toggle with how the entire platform looks. Platform themes rather than just module themes.
- Different ownership functionality. If I change the ownership of an account, all related records from related modules should also change ownership.
- A like button for notes and feeds. My company collaborates through notes, but we cannot tell if someone gets a note unless they reply back. It would be nice if we could just 'like' as a form of acknowledgment.
Great product for Reasonable Price
- Easy screen manipulation.
- Optional specialized coding.
- Easy of report creation.
- Real time connection from Desk and CRM to Analytics.
- In CRM better linking between Leads and other modules.
- More teachings on coding.
The best self-serve, no coding required, out-of-the-box solution we could have asked for!
- Case Management
- Ticket Management
- Analytics
- Account Management
- Integration between Zoho Desk and CRM is not very flexible, fields that appear in one do not appear in the other, which makes it difficult to reconcile the data; I would love for Desk to just be another tab within CRM.
- Products Module on Zoho Desk is insufficient for a company with thousands of products like ours. I struggle to manage duplicates and other import bugs.
- I'd like to be able to clone settings between departments in Zoho Desk
- Lead tracking for sales
- Invoices and invoice management
- Payment plan tracking for sales
- Keeping track of sales outreach events
- Keeping notes on customer events
- Ease of use for the interface as a whole
- Easier to make templates for invoices that are used frequently
- Integrate text and email support for sales leads
6 years of customizations are starting to blossom
- Keep track of all our clients and prospects
- Has robust reporting with criteria that can be pulled from as many as 3 modules
- Very customizable
- Wish we could easily add people from a report into a campaign in the CRM. You can only do that with a list view but that's not enough for some of our reporting for mailings or emails. We have to pull from more than 1 module sometimes to get the correct mailing list.
- Wish we could email from the Meetings module to confirm an appointment w/o having to manually add data from the meeting into the email template from a lead or contact.
- A lot of the workflows get broken when there is a major update. Little do I know they're not working until I randomly find out or someone else figures it out. Frustrating.
Non nonsense review of Zoho CRM
- Manage Leads
- Reporting
- Easy integration with other Zoho tools
- Workflows
- Blueprints & Command Center
- Support
- Calendar Scheduling
- Sales Automation
- Integration with Major 3rd Party Apps
Great for distributors and simple products, not so great for large scale CUSTOM manufacturing
- Easy Setup
- Good single front-end integration. service, sales, and engineering all prefer to operate through CRM applications.
- User friendly
- Ability to link product prices to website.
- Inventory management needs help. Can't allocate inventory until all of it is ready to ship. So if a part is on backorder in a composite item, you have to manually remember the remaining items that make up composite items are allocated.
- A lot of the permissions are rolled together that shouldn't be (ex. viewing archived projects and deleting projects are one permission).
- Syncing had issues and resulted in duplicate accounts that we will have to manually merge.
- Zoho Forms Allows for Streamlined Intake Processes
- CRM Tasks make focused task management possible
- Zoho Connect is a great hub of information for employees
- Zoho Book and CRM pop ups prevent error
- CRM Module configuration is great for identifying the many populations we work with
- CRM needs too many third parties to sent texts, calls, faxes (we want to only use one)
- Zoho Forms is way too restrictive by owner
- zMail templates are a mess and difficult to configure
- Cliq reminders are not user friendly when setting reminders for others
Zoho CRM - Expectations for a great customer experience
- Quote to sales order to invoice
- creating buttons
- automating incoming chats info
- easy to use interface
- going backwards with info example invoice back to sales order
- accounts, leads, contacts and how they are organized
- editing info in pipelines is sometimes tough
Successful Zoho CRM Transition from Salesforce
- Link within the Zoho One environment.
- Flexibility for modifying modules.
- Analytics and funnel management.
- Can be clunky maneuvering between modules.
- Email linking with Outlook isn't as obvious as other CRMs.
- Still has room to improve in localizing to US market.
Great CRM
- Automation
- Reporting
- App Integrations
- Automation
- Customization
Great Suite of Operational Software under the same roof
- Helps us with security with users where we can have different role who have access to diff modules
- Helps us keep track of leads
- Helps us keep the activities with our users
- Help us with automation in our processes
- I think the phone intergrations are clunky
- I think if we can build in sms to the software without a integration would be nice
Endless customization and possibilities
Our university employs about 700 people, so a good Help Desk and inventory solution are critical. I believe this is the best one we've had in years and will continue to use this product as it is constantly updated and improved.
- The ability to customize every aspect of the software to fit your company profile.

- More inventory management functions such as check in/out of devices.

Great features, limited reporting, & customization
- Task management
- Phone integration
- Reporting missing calculation ability (ex calculate percentage between 2 data points).
- Inviting new users frequently doesn't work (they never receive email).
A truly customizable CRM
- Client Engagement (touchpoints).
- Automation
- Contact Management.
- Connectivity between apps (some connectivity is seamless where others are difficult).
- Machine Learning Tools.
- Webform Improvement.
Great CRM for SMB Companies
- Manage contacts.
- Managing deals.
- Workflow automation.
- Integrations with widely used sales applications.
Probably the most powerful CRM available
- Automation
- Follow-ups
- UI
- Mobile App has some issues
