Storage Consultant Storage at Hewlett Packard Enterprise
A fast and reliable solution that reduces data storage costs
The product leverages flash storage and predictive analytics. It helps us to monitor the infrastructure and reduces data storage costs. It reduces risk against snapshots and has great performance and capacity. The tool can be useful for applications that need speed. It is a fast and reliable solution. It can work on various IT platforms and environments.

Software Engineer at Evoluz Global Solutions
Automates client workflows and data validation reliably but has faced limits in complex integrations
While applying some integrations or automations, if we need to take an action between two modules' fields, we have to write SOQL, and it can miss the data. I had a scenario where I had to use two fields from two different modules, and based on that condition, we had to send a follow-up to our team member to complete the task. We could not find any direct integration, direct SOQL query, or direct workflow that could do that work. However, I think the wizard is performing better now for such tasks. I had a two-part scenario where I had to get data from two modules or two fields in Zoho CRM and send a follow-up to our team member based on that data. We were unable to find any direct integration for this. Another issue is that a Zoho CRM function can run for only three minutes. After three minutes, the function will fail, and we have to rerun the function.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The interface is easy to use and has many features, such as email marketing and ad management, live chat, and more."
"It's easy to configure and easy to create a data source or replicate it to another one."
"It is a fast and reliable solution."
"It's very straightforward and easy to use, with a lot of customization options and good integrations."
"We use the solution for different projects. We use it to patch lead details from clients' sources."
"The login and logout times of each employee of our company are recorded by Zoho CRM for productivity calculations"
"The most valuable feature I have found in Zoho CRM is custom functions—you can achieve anything with it, from integrations with other applications to automating complex tasks that the inbuilt features may not handle."
"Some of the best features of Zoho CRM include the open architecture; it's fairly easy to modify it to your business process without having to get professionals involved."
"What I like best about Zoho CRM is the web form feature. I find Zoho CRM forms excellent."
"CRM software that's simple to use, with good technical support, scalability, and stability."
"The dashboards and visualizations help us see how different markets perform. I find the dashboard feature most valuable because it's easy to visualize data. I've been trying to use the built-in quotations feature, which could reduce turnaround time. We're not using many automation features for record management and opportunity tracking. I'm trying to integrate Zoho CRM with Zoho Flow for quotation submission workflow."
 

Cons

"Nimble sometimes slows down the progress of any work or project we have pending as it lacks the customization to manage the task through the work dashboard."
"The product has a security flaw."
"The solution should improve its replication groups' verification confirmation."
"It would be useful to have some way of mapping organizations that could add more value."
"This solution needs a more user-friendly interface."
"What needs improvement in Zoho CRM is the UI. It needs to be more user-friendly. I like Salesforce better than Zoho CRM in terms of the UI, so if Zoho CRM can make some UI changes, that would make the tool better."
"There are two things I would like to see from Zoho CRM. The first would be to include a calling feature that is connected to our call center. Second, I would like financial targeting and how to measure targeting for the sales agent to be connected better with bookings."
"There was a challenge while deploying Zoho when we brought an API code. Because integrations "aren't perfect" for every organization."
"When writing code that exceeds 500 or 700 lines, if you forget to save it and haven't run it once, the entire function can be lost."
"Some of our clients could not develop their requirements using the product."
"They should provide an option to customize modules."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cost-effective."
"The pricing is moderate."
"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."
"Professional plans cost $35 per user in the USA and EUR 35 in Europe."
"The solution has standard pricing plans."
"If you compare the pricing with SAP, it is well priced and you are able to pay as you go."
"There is a license required for this solution."
"Compared to other CRMs, it is very cheap."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"We pay for an annual license to use this solution."
