- Reports.
- Time tracking.
- Templates.
- Customizable reports.
- Better customization of dashboards.
- Not very intuitive.

My whole project experience in words
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.
- 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

Excellent online collaborative project management tools with feature you have always wanted
Zoho Projects is mainly being used at the project manager and management level to document tasks and issues, assign them owners, and track their progress to completion. It substitutes what we would have otherwise done with MSP, Excel and even Trello and Asana. It provides an online collaborative environment for us to keep ourselves aligned to our targets and goals. The availability of a mobile app is an added bonus to tracking activities.
- No restrictions on number of projects you can create. Easy to switch between projects in the same online interface vs managing multiple files.
- Ability to create workflow automations that trigger on event based activities, which enables standardization of processes.
- Ability to share projects with outside vendors/project participants and improve the collaborative nature of Project management.
- More flexibility on making the user interface more compact (like Excel or MSP). Current interface is well spaced, but some users may like a more compact view.
- More simplified Gantt Charts that help us understand progress and dependencies.
- Ability to export projects to Excel for sharing with others we can't/don't want to bring on to Zoho projects

Great Market Competitive Cloud Based Solution
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.
- 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

Easy to use good project management
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.
- 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.
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.
- 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.
We use Zoho Projects to manage different projects undertaken by the company. It's being primarily used for product management task planning and execution. We also used projects for bug tracking and resolution because it was easy to understand and simple to operate. The best thing about Zoho Projects is the ability to switch between list and kanban mode, which allows my teams from different departments use Zoho Projects as per their liking.
- It's particularly easy to get started for development projects. You can easily set it up with milestones for your projects and keep the activities on track.
- Bug reporting and tracking is good, although there are better tools in the market now. However, for a small startup, the free package of zoho projects adds huge value
- The best thing I liked about Zoho Projects was the ability to switch between kanban and list mode. This helps me give a clear picture of where we are with different types of activities, and then show me a list of activities with their details in one listical view.
- I think providing more functionality that can be directly used in a Scrum team would add immense value to the product.
- Reporting could be better. It might be that I wasn't aware of all reporting features, but I definitely struggled with getting insights from reports.
- Integration with Gitlab would help.

The Best Project Management Tool
We use Zoho Projects in our organization for project planning, scheduling and information management. It helps us break complex projects into milestones, tasks and subtasks. Its features are very helpful in the management of the project in its various phases and it also integrates with other tools we use like Zoho Books for managing the projects’ finances and clients’ billing.
- The best tool for planning projects (for non-certified project planners or beginners).
- It allows the division of complex projects in milestones, tasks, and subtasks, and to schedule activities according to deadlines.
- It is also good for task monitoring and projects discussion.
- The best features: Mobile app, project organization, calendar, and email integration.
- Some minor UI bugs in the web app and the mobile app (but can be fixed or patched).
- No possibility of cloning or copying repetitive projects with all the content and people managing the projects (could help gain a lot of time especially on complex long projects with a lot of milestones and tasks).

The gateway app to an optimized worklife
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.
- 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.

Managing Expectations by Managing Projects

- The ability to track multiple projects at the click of a button: Zoho Projects has the unique feature to jump between identical screens of a project (E.G., viewing tasks) in one click. You can select another project at the top nav-bar, and instantly be put at the same screen as the previous project, but for the now selected one. When viewing resources, tasks lists, its easy to jump to other projects without sifting through multiple channels to see the same information.
- Staying on top of tasks: Zoho has a variety of ways of telling users that they have tasks due or that are overdue. There are different mechanisms that allow easy tracking: Email confirmations, a clear and concise user dashboard, and also a Google Calendar integration that keeps employees abreast of what tasks they should be engaging in.
- The famous Gantt Chart: As an Engineering company, the Engineers that use the software have found the Gantt Chart feature both simple and productive. Having the ability to customize the charts with filters and convert them to PDFs allows any department to easily relay project timelines both internally and externally without having superfluous information left in the visuals. When showing accounting tasks or sales tasks within a project, users can easily with as little as two clicks, get the information they need in Gantt Chart format and ready to print.
- Support Feature: Currently Zoho does not offer direct phone support. They allow emailing to customer care and on rare occasions will ask to setup a phone conference to discuss details/problems that users are experiencing. The turn around time on getting questions answered is mediocre at best. In urgent cases, one can expect at least 6-8 hours before a response is given.
- Customer Access: Although Zoho does offer a customer portal for clients to view project timelines and details, it has little ability to manage what exact information a client can see. There are general limitations in privacy where you either allow a customer to see all information, some, or little at all. There is no 'nit picking' where you have to conceal certain information.
- Requesting Features: When it comes to business-specific needs, Zoho does not seem to be thrilled about adding customization to our company. Asking for items such as an 'information sheet' for a project that would need to be filled prior to creation seems to be a daunting task and replies from support are generalized saying they 'will implement in the future'.

Zoho Projects enables project management, time sheet management and collaboration across distributed teams at a fair cost.

Zoho projects is used across the whole organization for both internal and external (client) projects. It allows us to organize all company and project level activities in one place that is acceessible by everyone we provide access to at a reasonable cost. It also allows us to track and report on time spent on activities within projects.
- Zoho Projects is web-based so anyone can access it.
- Zoho Projects has a fairly comprehensive set of features for project management, task and time tracking.
- The pricing is reasonable and affordable for small businesses.
- There is no ability to add custom fields in the "Bugs" module - for example, if we want to add fields such as Version Number.
- Reporting is not integrated - its a fairly expensive add-on.
- There is no easy way to track actual and completed dates for tasks - so historical variance analysis is not easy.

Zoho Projects is being used by the whole organization to track client and in-house projects. Our billing model is either per-project pricing or in increments of 15 mins and Zoho Projects tracks time so many ways. It is so easy for an employee to enter their time and for project managers to then extract that information and for billing to use that information to populate invoices.
- There are so many ways to log hours! Each employee can choose the method that works best for them. Having choice empowers the employees.
- The BugTracker feature is amazing! The BugTracker allows custom fields to better fit our needs. Also, the ability to add files, images and comments to each issue has saved us time and headaches!
- The reports export with all of the important information we and our clients need.
- Zoho Projects can be customized in so many ways. No matter what your company does or in what field, Zoho Projects will work for you!
- Zoho Projects keeps getting better! Recent new enhancements makes it even easier to navigate and the new keyboard shortcuts are amazing!
- Within a task, to log hours you must scroll all the way to the bottom. If there are a lot of entries, this can be tiresome. The Add Log Hours link should be at the top of the entries.
- The default font size in Pages is very small. Even if you select all of the text and increase the font size, any links will remain in the small font size. You must edit the source code to change the font size of links.
- In the Timesheet Calendar view, it would be helpful to break apart the non-billable and billable on hover like it does when you hover over the Time Log column in Tasks.

- Task assignment and time tracking for project and service work by customer.
- Specifically, we set up clients as distinct projects and use the milestones, task lists, and tasks to manage deliverables. Zoho allows us to track time per task and generate invoices
- Generates easy report to create invoices.
- There is no differentiation between a task’s duration (ie, budgeted hours) and due date. These are linked in Zoho Projects, which is fairly useless for a project management tool.
- I don’t believe we can add custom fields to tasks, only to bugs (which we don’t use). This is a major weakness.
