Zoho makes working fun!
- Organization - we had a hard time prior to using Zoho CRM with keeping leads and qualified prospects separated in our old CRM. The fact that Zoho is so well organized, customizable and user-friendly really helps us in keeping the sales rolling in! When you're organized, you're unstoppable with outreach!
- User-Friendly - our old CRM (Salesforce) wasn't as user-friendly as Zoho CRM. I find it incredibly easy to navigate, organize, set up customization, and keeping groups of prospects linked together under one account. I love that we were able to customize filters for reports, activity lists, billing, leads, etc... SO EASY TO USE!
- Customer support is fantastic! Anytime we've come across an issue or something we didn't understand, their support team has gone above and beyond to quickly help us resolve any issues we may have had. Most of these issues were user error.
- Provides many integration possibilities to streamline follow up processes.
- One thing I have found hard to use was when trying to link certain opportunities to existing contacts. We have found the workaround for this but it was sincerely difficult for some time
- I would ask for better coloring on the actual CRM face. The bright whites make it harder for someone like me to see. I have downloaded an add-on that allows me to change the background colors and I do appreciate that Zoho's site allows for this type of change.
- I'd like to see a live chat feature on Zoho for quick help and simple questions.
- One thing I found a bit more difficult to do was integrating my Gmail with Zoho. It was a bit of a difficult process but I was able to finally get it linked.

ZOHO, ZOHO It's Off to Work We Go... ;-)
The entire ZOHO suite has proved to be a fantastic resource for our company. And, as a partner, they are extremely valuable because they work hard to help their reseller network which in turn provides growth to the entire ecosystem.
- ZCRM is ideal for tracking leads to conversion in the sales funnel. ZCRM provides seamless conversion from Lead => Contact => Account => Potential, etc.
- ZOHO is far better than any other CRM, particularly SFDC, with 3rd party integration. They are more open with API and development tools.
- ZCRM provides the most value for dollar making the system an affordable for SMBs. The functionality is equally as robust as more expensive competitive CRMs.
- This is an issue with most CRMs, but I wish there was an easy way to 'de-dupe' lead information
- I'm not sure this is a bad thing because 'upgrades' and enhancements to the platform always good. But, Zoho does a lot of them, they are constantly improving the system. The 'bad' thing is the communication from ZOHO to the partner community and the end user is sometimes lagging. Again, LOVE the improvements, just need to tighten up how quickly the info is rolled out to the 'public'

- We realize a 60% increase in 'organic' leads from being a part of the ZOHO preferred partner network. This is outside any outbound marketing efforts. We typically see 10-15 leads per week simple from people visiting the ZOHO site where we are listed.
- Through configuration of quote and contract generation, we are able to increase productivity by 66%.
- Workflow automation has increased response time on leads from days to hours.
Eh.... keep looking. Promising but doesn't deliver.
- Inexpensive. The product is good value for money and is a good choice for small businesses that just want a simple CRM and don't care too much about integration.
- Complicated. The product is not that intuitive and definitely requires training. It does not have the ease-of-use that we have come to expect of more modern products.
- Poor integration with other Zoho tools. This was a major disappointment. Zoho CRM is part of a broad suite of products and our expectation was that these various tools would all be completely integrated. That is not the case. For example, we wanted to integrate the CRM with the help desk and bug tracking modules. Integration with bug tracking was not really possible and integration with the help desk system was just a simple logging of help desk tickets. The various modules are still disparate tool sets.
- Rather barebones though flexible. The CRM product is pretty basic, but does offer lots of configuration options.
- Reducing costs. Since the product is inexpensive, we saw some positive ROI for the CRM part.
- Integration with other tools both ZOho modules and external tools was a major disappointment and we never got the full ROI we were expecting because of this.
