Overall Satisfaction with Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM makes it easy to automate processes and track customer information. We struggled because we have two lines of business and required customization. The reporting feature is a little limited in terms of calculations (can only aggregate one field, can't do formulas between different pieces of data such as calculating closing ratios) and filtering capabilities. Integrates well with phone system, mail blast systems, and other software.
  • Task management
  • Phone integration
  • Reporting missing calculation ability (ex calculate percentage between 2 data points).
  • Inviting new users frequently doesn't work (they never receive email).
  • Increased automation of repetitive tasks.
  • Streamlined lead and contact management.
For me, it's very intuitive but a lot of my colleagues struggle with it.
For a mid-size business like ours without any internal IT, the customization we needed was way beyond our capabilities to configure on our own. For someone who does this kind of configuration and integration regularly, it may be very well suited. I don't have the expertise to really know. In our case, it's way more complex than what we could even understand.

If you have a simple business processes Zoho CRM will be great for you. If you have multiple lines of business with different pipelines, you will need professional support for customization. For financial services, it may not be the best choice as we haven't had great success tracking client assets with it.
