Zoho Sprints Reviews

I use Zoho Sprints for Agile project management. It supports Scrum and Kanban frameworks, allowing me to work with epics and user stories, and manage projects effectively. It is suitable for software industries that adopt Agile methodologies in their projects.

Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality. It is cost-effective with a simple pricing plan and supports small to medium-sized teams. I can also integrate it with other Zoho products like Zoho Books and Zoho Invoice.

There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints. The session for charts should be enhanced to provide better insights.

I have been reselling Zoho Sprints for about two years.

Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime. There is a dedicated website for maintaining downtime, ensuring reliability.

I have not encountered many limitations to using all the features of Zoho Sprints. It supports features like sprints, releases, epics, user stories, and backlogs.

The customer service and support for Zoho are good.

Neutral

Zoho Sprints offers both monthly and annual licensing options. I can select according to my requirements.

I would rate Zoho Sprints an eight out of ten. 

The charts and dashboards need improvement.

The management, especially the epics and tickets, along with its capabilities as a task management tool, are some of the valuable features of Zoho Sprints.

The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings. The aforementioned area of the solution needs improvement.

The interface needs to be made a little bit simpler. In the initial years of usage, you should let someone gain experience with the solution since it can help that person easily understand the solution. With other products, there is no need to explain it to new users since they will understand it on their own. When it comes to the epics in Zoho Sprints, one needs to have a certain idea to be able to make it work, and one may face some level of confusion owing to the interface of Zoho Sprints.

I have experience with Zoho Sprints.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

Only fifteen people in my company use Zoho Sprints, of which ten people rarely use it since they handle a different domain owing to which they don't have much time to use Zoho Sprints.

In the future, the use of the solution will increase in my company since Zoho Sprints are meant for developers. The increase in the solution's use also depends on what kind of business you have. Currently, we are in the digital team, and there are no other managers in our company. The sales department is completely different in our company. The use of the solution is only for the digital team now. In general, developers work on Zoho Sprints.

Zoho Sprints is deployed on Zoho Cloud. All Zoho products are deployed on Zoho Cloud.

The price of Zoho Commerce is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month. If you plan to choose three to four applications from Zoho, then I would suggest that it is better to choose Zoho One. I suggest that one only pays 25 USD for Zoho One since it will allow one to use all Zoho products that include almost 40 applications, almost free of cost. If you subscribe to Zoho One, you pay for only one product, but you get the entire range of products from Zoho. If you go for Zoho products individually, then you need to pay 25 USD separately for each product. It would be cheaper to buy Zoho One for 25 USD and get access to around 40 of Zoho's products. In one particular company, if you're using multiple products from Zoho, then it is not wise to choose each Zoho product individually when you can buy the entire range of products from Zoho under Zoho One. Paying for the entire bundle of products in Zoho One is a cost-effective way of having all Zoho products. One can get access to Zoho Finance, Zoho's HR software, Zoho Payroll, Zoho's accounting software, Zoho Logistics Management, Zoho's website builder, Zoho Commerce, Zoho CRM, Zoho Creator, Zoho Projects, Zoho Flow, Zoho Event and Zoho's integration with Zapier. You can also get an email account in Zoho One. Zoho Campaigns can help one run an email marketing campaign. Zoho One also has Zoho ContactManager. Speaking about Microsoft Teams, Zoho One provides all applications under one roof, and it includes applications that allow you to interact or chat internally. There is no reason to spend separately on Teams. When we pay for individual licenses for 150 users, it becomes costly. Microsoft 365's license per user is too costly compared to Zoho One.

Zoho Sprints is good for handling project management aspects. With Zoho Sprints, it is very easy when you want to assign a task to someone since it provides a great look and feel. The arrangements you make epic-wise, project-wise, task-wise, milestone-wise, and everything else you do becomes very easy with Zoho Sprints.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it since the management part of Zoho Sprints is nice. The solution provides multiple options to cater to the different viewpoints of its users. Once you spend a little bit of time on Zoho Sprints or attempt to explore it, then you will agree with the fact that it is a very good solution. If you create a ticket for a developer, then it is possible for that developer to view their task, put a comment, do the tagging while putting up all the details, carry out integrations, and use a number of other features. Based on my perspective and experience with other tools, only the look and feel aspect is an area that needs to be upgraded in the solution. The solution uses light colors, so it is important that attractive colors start getting used in Zoho Sprints since the screen provided by the tool right now is not very attractive. Functionality-wise, Zoho Sprints is very easy to use.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool. Once we do the testing, the defect needs to be logged. We log it in Zoho Sprints so that we can track the time taken for resolution. We also use the solution for status because it goes through various stages. Once development is complete, it gets assigned to the testing team. When the testing team is completed, it goes for deployment, and so on.

Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool. Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira. Other than that, everything is standard, including the logging of defects. You can change the status and track it through the different stages. Another useful feature is time logging, where the resources can log their time.

Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it. It's not as simple as Jira, where everything is clear about what needs to be done.

Since Zoho Sprints is a SaaS system, it is scalable. It's a web page. You create as many projects as possible and share them with the team members.

More than 50 users are using the solution. Currently, we are running around six projects simultaneously, and we plan to increase the usage. Scalability is addressed through the cloud. We use Amazon and Google Cloud to upgrade automatically.

The solution’s technical support is excellent.

Positive

We previously used other tools like Jira and ClickUp. Jira is a time-tested tool that has been around for years, and many people and companies use it. ClickUp was something new but had some issues, so we dropped it and switched to Zoho Sprints.

The solution's initial setup is very easy. The solution's deployment is immediate because it's a web version. The moment you create a project, it's all ready to go.

On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup a seven out of ten.

Ours is a small entrepreneurial team, and everybody is a developer. We have three leads, and the rest are developers. The leads handle all the deployments.

The solution is good for tracking defects. People work in different time zones, and Zoho Sprints is an excellent tool for managing them well. The solution provides around 60% to 70% improvement in efficiency.

Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira.

Zoho Sprints is a SaaS solution. We do backlog grooming through a spreadsheet with the corresponding executives from the client side. It's not done in the tools. We use Microsoft Excel for planning. We do have maintenance with all the customers. We use various tools. We use WhatsApp and other collaboration tools for high priority cases. Otherwise, we use Slack.

I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
