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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Zoho Projects to keep all of our project tasks in focus. Also, it's easier to use, and the capabilities for establishing integrations with other collaboration tools like Google Workspace are reliable. Also, it's faster to deploy templates and follow tasks for our projects to keep a proper track of our customer's projects to share all of the most important task highlights.
Pros and Cons
  • Collaboration
  • Cloud integration
  • Reporting and task tracking
  • Translation
  • Online support
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a team leader, I am always conducting meetings with clients; I always search for a new and effective place for my projects. The best part of the Zoho Projects is that it's free and is an online cloud base, project management. The best part of this is that there is no restriction for creating projects. Right now, only my designing team is using this, but it will be implemented to all department if our work with Zoho Projects is successful.

We run many projects at the same time, and time management was critical. Due to its excellent APIs is has very flexible work management. We can switch to different projects at any time and can share with other partner easily.
Pros and Cons
  • Can create many projects at the same time and its very easy to switch between projects
  • Very cheap and useful
  • Give full control of the activity by their manager.
  • User-friendly interface
  • I often have login issue, and it has some minor bugs
  • Invoice function seems useless sometimes
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Zoho Projects was used as a collaboration tool across the company to track project status, timelines, and manage workloads. The tool gives you the ability create dependency task lists that start backward or forward. Integrations were helpful. Reports were used for internal visibility and assisted with overall management and expectations. Overall the tool was very easy to use with a simple user interface.
Pros and Cons
  • Simplistic User Interface
  • Ability to track projects forward or backward
  • Comprehensive & Robust functionality
  • Task & Time Tracking could use some additional refining
  • Need for a larger knowledge base and help sections - Have to figure out a lot on my own or calling their help desk
  • UI could use some improvements
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Zoho needs more time in development phase

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We currently decided to not use Zoho any longer. I have a small Accounting business, and myself and my partner tried to use Zoho for many months to organize our projects and keep up with projects that were in a pending status, completed as well as reoccurring. It was a struggle to use this software based on the lack of customization we wanted and needed. It worked well for client data storage and campaign process, but overall it did make the cut as being our project management solution long term.
Pros and Cons
  • It's easy to enter data.
  • Sends out daily reminders (to my inbox).
  • It had a nice calendar feature.
  • It needs to have more customization.
  • Features were too basic.
  • It's hard to reach support and training features.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Projects to manage on-boarding clients. We have about 6 people working on any given project startup, so this allows us to assign tasks to everyone involved and clearly see when something is done so the next steps can move on. This has greatly increased our efficiency!
Pros and Cons
  • Easy to define templates for task lists and projects
  • Easy to see tasks by day and by project to always know what's ready or missing
  • Easy to assign tasks to team members ad-hoc to ensure tracking is complete
  • Google Docs integration would simplify our workflow immensely
  • More customizable data storage
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited to organize teams who share tasks to complete a common goal or project. Less well suited if you have lots of data to share and update between members.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using Zoho Projects as our core project management tool. We utilize phases down to projects down to tasks as our base structure for the year. We build those into Zoho to help us track timelines and accountability. We use it at a department head level. We do not use it for specific task management at a base team member level.
Pros and Cons
  • The software allows for the inclusion of multiple users.
  • It has multiple report options to generate result data .
  • It lets you organize and process task lists with more structure.
  • It could offer better integration with other software like Google Docs and Gmail, etc.
  • The document storage component doesn't work great with a wide variety of documents. It looks good, but in functionality we find it lacking and prefer to use more traditional cloud storage.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Very Similar Features to the Competition, but Much Easier to Use

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Our offshore software development team uses Zoho Projects to manage the projects they perform for us. This consists of full-stack development, from database storage to frontend web and mobile apps. We use it regularly to write up bugs and enhancements and monitor project progress. When we started working with this team we used Skype to communicate, but that resulted in a lot of things falling through the cracks. Zoho Projects helped us make sure everything gets triaged, and acted upon if necessary.
Pros and Cons
  • Ease of customization, without introducing a level of complexity that makes it difficult to manage.
  • Simple workflows for common tasks like adding and assigning issues.
  • Integration with other Zoho tools for organization-wide collaboration and information sharing.
  • The user interface design tends to lag behind other similar products.
  • Reporting tools are limited.
  • Requires customization to be suited for a real agile workflow.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Zoho Projects integrates seamlessly with the full suite of other Zoho apps which makes it a necessity if you're using the other Zoho suite of products. But as a stand alone it functions as well. Consider this, everyone has multiple projects that there managing at all time. It doesn't matter if it's a simple project that you do on a regular basis, that big annual event, or ongoing quarterly projects like preparing reports. The thing is, most projects big and small have multiple moving parts and keeping track of those part is paramount to the successful completion of every project. Zoho Projects allows you to create project task lists on the fly or if you're really smart, you'll build and save a template to use for repeating or similar projects. Now here's where it gets super cool. You can have a project template with a long list that is automatically assigned to different users and can be task or time dependent. So instead of spending all of your time managing the project, Zoho Projects manages the project yet you still get the do the work. There is also a feature which allows you to track time, completion percentages, and billing.
Pros and Cons
  • We use it to manage our sales orders as there are lots of moving parts which are necessary to get client orders done properly.
  • I use it anytime I have a new idea I want to put into motion. As I can create a list for brainstorming, feedback, specific actions necessary in order to test and or implement the idea.
  • Unrelated to business, it's a great way to plan travel in order to make sure you don't forget those important things like passport, flight arrangement, client meeting confirmation, and meeting prep as far as what specific documents or things do you need to bring with you.
  • And since everyone is on the go and expected to keep up with work, the mobile/tablet app makes it a breeze to keep up, work on, and create new projects.
  • It would be great if some of the project printing functions could be enhanced. I love the way it visually looks on screen but on paper not so great.
  • Pricing isn't crazy expensive at $25/month per user but would be great if there was a discount provided or a package deal if using many of the other Zoho Suite of products.
  • The trial allows for 1 Project which is nice but I don't think it adequately allows someone to properly evaluate the app and to get a feel for it. Seems like allowing about 5 would be a much better way for someone to get the feel for it.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
