A CRM for the Masses

Overall, I would strongly recommend ANY business to try it out. Check out the free version and you'll still get a lot of value out of it.
Their Paid versions are absolutely worth it.
We started off with a Free version and then graduated into 3 Pro Users and it was a great experience.
The Customer Support Team is EXCELLENT and they really spend the time with you to get you up and running and will offer other real-world examples. I feel they really want their product to work so they're dedicated in assisting even the novice amongst us.

Pros

This is a very low-cost CRM for Small Businesses that are interested in tying out to see if this can really work for them.
It beautifully and seamlessly integrates with Outlook and you can use ZohoCRM for most (if not all) your communications with clients and prospects.
The interface is easy to understand and you can get most things done intuitively.

Cons

Extracting out a list of all your prospects/customers into ONE Excel sheet became a painful experience because as simple as we assumed it to be it actually become fairly cumbersome. Maybe we didn't have the in-depth experience.

Dynamics 365

Reasons for Choosing Zoho CRM

Dynamics CRM was just too HUGE and complicated. So was Salesforce. I feel those Enterprise CRMs rely on hiring a team to work out the operational logistics and create their dream-CRM from scratch. Zoho had so much out-of-the-box. THAT truly won us over.

Switched From

Dynamics 365

Reasons for Switching to Zoho CRM

Zoho was just way simpler to implement and launch. We literally started working on it on day One.

overall experience was so is better than the system that you have before. Lots of options and settings and we can bring all our contact information and client accounts and deals and quotes and also report from one system and the whole company can access it all at once and so we don’t lose any information anymore. That helped with not using paper anymore and bringing out the first 21st century, especially with digital signing contract and automatic notification when contacts are signed.

Pros

zoho crm is a great platform to bring all digital contracts that we have for our company together. We don’t need to use any paper anymore and have all our customer information in one system.

Cons

sometimes settings are very hidden, and some automations are not very self explaining. The design is not as modern as other platforms.

The benefits this software provides is nothing more than any other CRM available. Keep records of your accounts, logs of communication, track your sales pipeline, etc. etc.

Pros

The CRM is easy to use. Unlike other CRM products, with Zoho you don't have to be an expert to get started. The interface is clean and easy to use. It doesn't have all the insane features that other products have, but that is what sets Zoho apart because they are trying to keep it simple for small businesses.

Cons

There's too many issues with this product to even begin listing. The application is buggy. I started reporting bugs to their support department but they occupied too much of my time and would remote into my computer and repeat the same steps over and over again, expecting a different result. I gave up on reporting issues. They don't even care to fix them anyways. The support is extremely poor. I'd rather have them offer no support than the support they provide, as you'll get even more frustrated with their support than not even having support at all. We had an "Enterprise Account Manager" which wasn't very responsive. Any unresolved issues with the application he would just send back to the support department (the same support department you'd been previously fighting with for months on petty issues) and then nothing would end up getting done. Based on my conversations with the account manager, I can confidently say that nobody in the organization has any clue what's going on. Nobody in the company has any empowerment to do anything, everybody acts like pre-programmed robots. There is a horrible communication gap between departments, nobody is on the same page, everybody just passes the buck thinking somebody else will take care of the issue. You can tell there is a pretty bad work ethic and culture. You'll get the run around and end up getting exhausted and give up. You end up having a second job just trying to deal with Zoho. It's quite simple, STAY AWAY.

I have looked around, researched, and tried out a few CRM's. So far I made the decision to use Zoho as it fits our budget and has all the features we need at this point in our growth.

Pros

Able to manage clients and perform workflows and reminders of task for each client for different services.

Cons

Not so easy to navigate and use. I have a IT background so it is not to hard for me to navigate but for someone who is not too tech savvy, they will need some more time with training.

So I was in a middleware team at builder.ai. The product on which I worked used to gather customer data where they used to customise there own software. This customer data use to flow from our middleware to clouds like Salesforce, Netsuite, Zoho CRM. So here we had Zoho, this had implied rules for the data to enter in and get stored on any cloud. We had ticketing as well for customer service

Pros

I like the way the UI is designed, the way it is curated to address scenarios where the user is a non coder, has no or basic coding ability. I like the GUI based workflow management and its ticketing system

Cons

The costing is slightly high, implementing it requires skilled professionals and some training. The forms can be more expressive and features can be improved
