Featured Reviews

Steven-Parker - PeerSpot reviewer
Focused on inventory and accounting production; valuable inventory control and sales recording
The Acumatica features I found most valuable are inventory control and sales recording Additional features I would like to see in the next release are more flexible reporting options. I would specifically benefit from the ability to create comparative reports for many months instead of having to…
AmerKhan - PeerSpot reviewer
Diverse integrations assist in seamlessly aligning marketing efforts with sales tracking
Zoho CRM is flexible due to its integrations, like with Zoho Campaign, helping integrate marketing efforts with CRM processes. It offers a no-cost entry with the ability for three users to use it at no charge, which is beneficial for startups to explore the platform without financial strain. This enables me to start using the platform, handle opportunities, and get a feel before committing financially.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The way everything integrated well with everything else was most valuable. We had one solution for everything, from the first phone call down to follow-up visits for wholesale callers and for just regular purchases."
"This solution supports multiple branches."
"Zoho CRM is flexible due to its integrations, like with Zoho Campaign, helping integrate marketing efforts with CRM processes."
"What I like best about Zoho CRM is the web form feature. I find Zoho CRM forms excellent."
"We use the solution for different projects. We use it to patch lead details from clients' sources."
"Zoho CRM is easy to use and easy to understand."
"Zoho CRM handles the entire customer relationship management, from lead generation to workflows, reports, and lead qualification."
"Zoho CRM has been a really good product. From a basic CRM perspective, we use it to maintain the details of our company's customers."
"What I like most about Zoho CRM is its configurability. We can adapt it to our needs in terms of the sales process. It has automation capabilities, but we mostly use it as a static system, except for sending emails and information about updated products."
"The most valuable solution of Zoho CRM is lead management and analytics. It has a powerful analytics tool."
 

Cons

"We should be able to personalize it for the company. There should be more customization of the pages so that they seem more like a company rather than as an outside company. We should be able to change company images and things like that and do this kind of personalization."
"For support, we go through a distributor, and the support we receive from them is much better than what we would from Acumatica directly. When we went to Acumatica support directly, we were not happy with it."
"The solution doesn't have features to break down the structure for multiple people in the project."
"The solution's feature for forecast has limitations."
"The reporting for developers should be improved."
"The only thing I noticed was that it does not support multi-country operations. In Canada, for example, we do not use the term "state," but rather "province," and we do not use zip codes, but rather "postal codes.""
"Certain functions have occasional performance issues."
"There was a challenge while deploying Zoho when we brought an API code. Because integrations "aren't perfect" for every organization."
"We would like to always email users as soon as any new features are launched."
"The process of creating reports is not very user-friendly - it takes time, and it's confusing."
"We'd like the solution to be less expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive for a small business. If you're a small business, it is not a very good solution in that aspect, but if you are big and have more manufacturing, it is well worth it. It comes with the ability to integrate with one website. We had to modify ours. We customized it so that we could do hundreds of websites. In Texas, I believe that we were the only one ever to be integrated with hundreds of websites. So, the development of our API probably cost us a hundred grand, and then there would be maintenance. That's all outside of the standard licensing fee."
"Compared to other CRMs, it is very cheap."
"It is around $1000 a month."
"I rate the product a four out of ten. The cost for Zoho CRM is not fixed; different editions are available, and the features depend on the edition chosen. Some capabilities, such as integrating with workflows, might incur additional costs, but these are well-documented and not hidden."
"Its price is lower than the other software."
"I have no information about the pricing for Zoho CRM because the finance department handles that."
"We pay for an annual license to use this solution."
"Zoho CRM has a subscription-based license, which is not too expensive."
"Zoho CRM is available at a fairly average price"
