Product Details

What is Zoho Projects?

Zoho Projects is a web-based project management and planning software that provides project teams with a web-based collaborative environment. It contains the requisite features for project management platforms, such as time and resource allocation to tasks, issue tracking, milestones, Gantt chart, timesheets and reporting tools, task workflow automation and a feed modeled after social networking sites with the goal of approachability. It also includes a bug tracking module specifically designed to support software development projects, and is integrated with other Zoho products including Zoho CRM. It manages documents, contains calendar and list views, a team intranet and chat, and more. Its functionality is expandable with apps (Google Apps) and Zoho Projects is mobile accessible.

Presently it is free to manage two projects in Zoho Projects. The vendor says relatively low cost paid versions, on three tiers, allow management of increasing numbers of projects (up to infinite with the top tiered Enterprise level) and increased storage space. Live customer support is accessible via email and chat.

We recommend Zoho Projects if you want to keep an eye on all of the most relevant KPIs about Project Management without doing a hard billing since we rely on a Cloud-based environment. Also, the possibility to have integration with other cloud collaboration tools is one of their most relevant points to manage our Projects easier.

Team who lack for thousands of dollar may not try this. Those who need mobile support may not get benefit. These apps' resource management tools are also a failure. In addition, using software to manage many jobs at the same time is not a smart idea. It is difficult to work with when it becomes overloaded, thus it is not suggested for large groups. The project management software also lacks the flow chart app.

Services project management is awesome. You have issues/bug reports, time tracking, a lot of different levels and relationships between tasks, critical paths, automatically generated Gantt charts, resource utilization, etc. Construction is a little tricky, but you can definitely pull it off. I would say manufacturing type of projects isn't an adequate fit.

Zoho is well-suited for:
  • Teams with advanced technical expertise that can get the most out of the customization.
  • Newer teams that need an inexpensive, Swiss-army knife solution while they build their tech stack.
  • Teams that are used to working with the UI of legacy software.

As the team leader, I often work on two to five project at the same time. It's not so easy to keep an eye on all at the same time, but due to Zoho Projects, my team keeps me updated through it. Zoho Projects has a great project tracking feature and has an easy task management interface. It gives me easy to switch between many projects at the same time, and I think no other software does that now.

I have some things that I don't like, so much like my main issue was login problem, and the invoice creating option is useless. Sometimes, I found the performance chart confusing. It hard some time to understand the chats in the beginning.

Zoho Projects is well suited for corporates who want to make project management a more collaborative tool rather than a PM managed tool. It's well suited for startups where founders/co-founders come from large corporate settings and prefer to use comprehensive project management tools over new age tools like Asana and Trello. Its well suited for those who appreciate the importance of dependencies between tasks and want to build and track comprehensive plans for their projects.

Zoho Projects is a cloud-based project management solution designed for small and mid-size companies. It offers project scheduling and budgeting, which allows project managers to define project tasks, assign them to their teams, estimate project costs and follow up on in-progress tasks. Zoho Projects works well for collaboration of project management, issue tracking, managing overall workflow, setting timelines and overall expectations.

It worked well for reoccurring projects when you have the same items as a template base, and it was easy to create new projects from templates. However, it was cumbersome to customize and lacked a good conversation history for storing information that a team could easily find and respond. I did like the integration features, especially the calendar functionality. It was also very difficult to get support. I found that there was overall a lack of good support when trying to learn the product. I prefer to learn on my time instead of having to schedule time with someone live. Our current software has training clips to help learn the features of the software fast, and it is very convenient when I needed it. I felt that this product could have used more time in the beta phase before being rolled out. There needed to be more upgrades for common features that just were just not there yet.

Enterprise-level project management. The following features, we liked while using Global Reports functionality: User management, Apps, and Integration. When it comes to the multi-project environment and multi-department collaboration Zoho suits well for Project management. Activities management looks good for the entire team. Approval workflows are suits complex environment as well. Also, User Timesheet management
HR activities like events management. It's easy to manage the approvals and leave approvals.

My work involves projects of 5-15 people with numerous projects running simultaneously. Prior to Zoho, I did not have a central location from which to view all project statuses at once. Zoho looks to provide this and also looks like it will deliver. I am anxious to see how our organization's use of it develops. At this time, I feel I am likely to recommend Zoho Projects because my organization has made great software decisions in the past so I have a level of trust already that the research has been done that Zoho is the best solution for our line of work.

It's a great project management tool and offers a variety of reporting options. If you're looking for true project management, with timelines, tasks, and accountability, then Zoho can execute at a high level. If you're looking for more task-oriented software like Asana or ToDo programs, then Zoho is a poor match.

Zoho Projects is a great solution for smaller companies looking to implement their first pass at task/bug tracking. It has more than enough functionality to last for a few years but is unlikely to be a tool that supports hundreds of users. It is especially suited for people who have limited experience implementing business applications because it is very simple to get up and running with the default implementation.

For a small startup that is looking for a free tool to stay organised with their task lists and teams, this is the product they should opt for. It is a good product to help you keep your projects on track but not best suited for a mature Scrum team. There are better tools available for such use cases.

  • Time management
  • Project workflow analysis and bug-fixing
  • Exposure and communication with the teams for a better understanding of the past, present and future situations of each and every project
  • Task management and bug reporting and resolving tools
  • It also supports future planning of upcoming projects too

Any task group that can fall under the heading of a project whether you work it alone or in a team collaboration setting. And if it's something that is repeated as part of the company's normal operations i.e. web design, the creation and use of a template will significantly speed up the process as well as make sure no steps are missed. The challenge is deciding on including the necessary tasks without being too insane. What I've found is it's better to err on the side of insanity initially, and then you can group some tasks together under the same heading if they are typically done at the same time as each other and by the same person.

Unfortunately I have yet to use the software outside of a Project Management in Engineering scenario so it would be hard to say where it would not work. In general this would not be suitable for highly-complex project that require multiple clients and outsourcing.

1. Level of project management sophistication - if you are used to Microsoft Project this will seem very basic.
2.While the basic version is quite inexpensive, it gets a little expensive as you upgrade to higher levels (e.g. bugs module, premium).

It's so easy to customize to fit the needs of any company. I use it in a small company setting but see if working for a much larger company as well. The price is reasonable and very competitive. Unlike some other "standard" project management solutions, Zoho Projects isn't overly complicated or daunting to use.
