Not necessarily the best but perfect for our business needs

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization, we use Zoho Projects to manage all work-related tasks. Tasks are assigned to specific team members and those members are kept accountable to finish a task based on the deadline set. During a weekly meeting, we go through missed and incomplete tasks. We also discuss and create new tasks.

  • Reminders are sent via email when tasks are due on the day they are due
  • All tasks in one place
  • The task creation interface is comprehensive, allowing attachment, lists, and much more

Cons

  • improved mobile app interface
  • reporting features could be more robust and useful as we don't even currently use this feature
  • 3rd party intergrations are few and not easy to setup

Zoho Projects Review.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have previously used Zoho Projects to set up a plan, assign tasks, and track the implementation of a new accounting system. Our marketing department has also used it to develop our monthly newsletter.

Pros

  • Time tracking.
  • Task assignment.
  • Reminders of upcoming task deadlines.

Cons

  • Assigning new members to an existing project was rather confusing.

Return on Investment

  • I don't think that Zoho projects have had either a positive or negative impact on our ROI, as most of the projects we utilized it for fizzled before implementation. With Zoho One, we utilize primarily Zoho CRM and Desk.
