Overall Satisfaction with Zoho Tables
We use Zoho Tables for a range of operations from managing tasks in meetings, to projects, etc. It is an extremely customizable tool that can be used to fit your needs almost every time! I absolutely love it! It is a perfect blend of simple like a sheets software, but slightly sophisticated like a project management software too. It's great to use as it is simple and yet effective!
Pros
- It allows for connections between other zoho apps
- It allows for tabs! I love this part!
- It is simple but efficient which I love! It doesn't need to be overcomplicated on every day use, but having the ability to customize it to be more in depth with layering automations makes it great.
Cons
- Ability to create subgroups in a simple fashion in the Zoho Tables. That allows for drop downs. Does not change the formatting of any cells unless specifically addressed by user. But a light column is added at the start of the table with a button to dropdown each row.
- Ability to fill a cell with color without reason or specific selection of field options, add an option for a simple color bucket fill.
- It would be great to have an efficient way of updating tasks, projects, etc all on one table easily set up by the user! (Ie. When column "Next Action" equals "Add Task to Project 1" without using deluge)
- The best pre-made automations for Zoho Tables would be with all {} being user defined selections:
- - Update {Selected Task Field} on {Task} when {Column}...
- - When {Row} on table is created or edited: Add {Column} as a Task on {Project} in {Task List} then map {Related Table Columns} to {Project Columns}
- I have not had much ROI on this specific tool just yet. But I do foresee the ability to streamline a lot of our operations as we are beginning to scale.
Zoho Projects is great for it's intended use to track and manage projects, and the CRM is also great for it's intended use. However, when you are managing operations, everything essentially "ties" together when you are needing to make next decisions. This really comes into play for meetings, and to do lists, etc.
Sometimes, all of the detail does not matter when you are trying to operate efficiently. For example, during a meeting, many times we will review KPIs (comes from CRM but in Analytics), then projects, and then general topics. At all points throughout the meeting, tasks are coming up which need to be added, etc. All range vastly resulting in a lot of different places. With Zoho Tables, I am basically working on a blank canvas of cells that can pull data from where I need it too and the more user friendly the ability to set up automations and workflows to be a central hub/home base type tool, the better it would be!
