Overall Satisfaction with Zoho CRM

We migrated to Zoho CRM from Salesforce during the pandemic when economic challenges happened. Upon comparison, Zoho CRM has more features available compared to other solutions. We use Zoho CRM to track sales leads, sales conversions, accounts, and many more including integrating to our Zoho Desk which is used by our helpdesk. This is to streamline all the processes and automate as much as possible as in the past there were multiple systems and multiple duplicate tasks that needs to be carried out in order to complete a particular process.
  • Customer Relationship Management
  • Email Marketing
  • Sales Leads and Conversions
  • Better integration with other solutions for data sharing
  • Better customer support
  • Better pricing
  • Reduced costs on similar platform
  • Increased revenues
  • Still lacking of much needed automation
Overall it is still an easy system to use with an easy learning curve. Teams pick up the system within a short period of time. Therefore overall, it is quite a good solution to use and have all the needed features to perform customer relationship management tasks. More room for improvement such as better integration within its own Zoho platform.
Certain areas are too complex to configure but generally, overall it is a step-by-step guide [that] enables most people to be able to configure it without many issues or help needed from support. Making it easier to configure and use is the key success of software solutions as then it will need less interaction with support or experts from the software provider.
Zoho has 10x more features than Salesforce which is included as part of its subscription. Many customizations are also available on self-service compared to Salesforce having to charge for every customization or configuration or setup. Additional features are also chargeable on Salesforce whereas Zoho has included it as part of its subscription.
