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.

Alternatives Considered

Workzone

I found it easier to work with Zoho Projects. While working with Workzone, my system got stuck between my work, and it cost us time to restart all of it. I couldn't switch between my work on Workzone and my teammate; we're also having the same problem as I did. So we switch to Zoho Projects.

Support Rating

Now, this is the saddest part of this software that they don't have an excellent customer support team. I find it challenging to connect with there support team. Like during my login error issues, my team contacted them for tech support; they take a long time compared to the other company software support, and I find it hard to explain the situation to them.

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.
