Overall Satisfaction with Zoho CRM

We use it as a platform to house information of our leads and then gradually work them through until they pay and sign up for our SaaS platform. Marketing team runs different campaigns and gets us leads in the CRM. BDRs would pick up each of them as well as do some direct targeting themselves and then do the qualification. BDMs would then do the demo and close deals.
  • Basic record keeping
  • Some level of automation
  • Dashboards are relevant
  • Automation can become more modern and intuitive
  • AI tools can become more accurate. We have turned that on, but it seems very distant from actual outcomes
  • Updating and fetching records at scale is a problem
For the points I said earlier. Does the job well. But fails to deliver on larger scales.
Not sure about that. Not used Zoho for customer retention yet.
  • Ease of doing business is a plus - the team knows what to do next to close a sale
  • Data analysis is a minus - can be connected to Zoho Analytics but that too has its limitations
  • Basic automation is a plus
So while Zoho has a wide range of options for automation but those are like old age.
Totango has all the new age features such as web hooks, scheduled data uploads, simpler API, higher email deliverability and better UI ofcourse as compared to Zoho CRM

Do you think Zoho CRM delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Zoho CRM's feature set?

Yes

Did Zoho CRM live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Zoho CRM go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Zoho CRM again?

Yes

Definitely well suited for small and medium sized companies with <500 leads a month, a team of <10
But as you scale you will come across different needs like automation / AI / data analysis where Zoho CRM is not the best and the most intuitive.
