This would be good for a small company who does not want to build their own time submission system. The interface is fairly dated, but we are quite familiar with it, so that is not really a negative for our company. The primary feature we struggle with most is the inability to …

Google Drive stored my invoices in one accessible location but required more time and maintenance. I didn't want to invest the time into building out sheet functions to carry over figures across sheets, so I researched invoicing options. I am already a fan of Zoho services, so …

Chose Zoho Invoice
Before Zoho Invoice, I used Cashboard App. Cashboard App did what I needed, but it was limited as far as the reports and the types of payments I could accept. Offering a variety of payment options is important to me as a provider. It also wasn't as aesthetically pleasing as …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice is easier to use, for pure invoicing and time tracking, then QuickBooks Online and O365. QuickBooks Online is more robust, but with that comes the admin overhead to learn, update and maintain. O365 requires manual creation of invoices, or searching out available …
Chose Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice stacks up well against may other products as it brings real value for little of no investment up front...Zoho Invoice is also very easy to learn, configure, and use.
Chose Zoho Invoice
The first one I used was Zoho Books. I liked it, it is very similar but has more options, it looked excellent integrated with Zoho CRM, but I really need something simpler and so, I selected Zoho Invoice. The latest update of Zoho CRM integrates well. When we grow more as a …

Method:CRM was a disaster. We spent several weeks trying to set up Method:CRM and promises about connecting to a merchant account simply did not exist. Zoho was up and running in one day. We reviewed around 15 different options and Zoho was the best/most suitable for us.
Chose Zoho Invoice
Freshbooks is very robust, with many, many layers of functionality. While they try to help businesses save by customizing certain parts of the process, they just can't edit enough to reach a reasonable justification for some small businesses as far as the cost goes. Zoho …

Our director of research utilized this software at another facility and implemented it here due to the success of data capture from his other hospital. We were very fortunate that he had already knowledge about the system and we were able to implement it our institution very quickly.

Zoho Invoice is well suited for any business, regardless of size, that needs to have a way to create invoices with hourly or flat rates. It's easy to create and archive projects. It also integrates into their other tools, including Zoho Projects. Zoho is great for businesses who want to accept online payments.You can use PayPal, Stripe, and a few others. Clients can also pay via ACH. It lets you know when a payment is processing AND when it clears. I believe that it would not be well suited in instances where a company creates lots of credit notes (because from the invoice screen the credit will appear to grow, but when you check active credit notes, it is the right amount) or estimates (I can't figure out how to use this feature)

Cons
  • There is a LOT of functionality, including a many functions that we don't ever use. If there were some way to set up a "dashboard" of only the functions we need, it might be a little easier to navigate some of the management and reporting areas.
  • Initial setup can be daunting, particularly for a larger company using a lot of functionality. Its been a long time since we've been through that, but the initial training and support has to be robust, comprehensive and very clear. (However, I can't say that it isn't now)

  • Zoho Invoice can be complicated if you want to create a more advanced custom invoice or custom recurring invoice.
  • Zoho Invoice does not provide all of its functionalities on the mobile version of its platform.
  • Zoho Invoice is expensive for some small business owners especially if they don't plan on using it often.

All depending on cost for renewal. This is very expensive as a reporting tool, as we do not recover the cost through billing

This would be good for a small company who does not want to build their own time submission system. The interface is fairly dated, but we are quite familiar with it, so that is not really a negative for our company. The primary feature we struggle with most is the inability to allow line-item rejection of time entries

Return on Investment
  • Easier and more efficient cost fund allocation.
  • Requires employee time reporting on activity, cost center and other custom fields synced with payroll so records are submitted, reviewed and approved every two weeks.
  • Funders are confident in our ability to appropriately allocate funds.

  • The biggest ROI for my business is that Zoho Invoice reduced the cost of invoicing so much, that I was able to invest that savings back into the business development allowing us to grow.
  • Zoho Invoice provides the option of giving your clients a client portal through which they have access to their own accounts and can see and print their own reports as needed. That helps to create a transparency that our clients love.
  • Zoho Invoice has been dependable. I have not had one issue with using the platform or its functions since I switched to it a few years ago.
