Considered Both Products
Vtiger
Chose Vtiger
It's not complicated and very easily to use compared to the CRM I used from my former company. There not too much to click just to finish the tasks. Easy to generate data for reporting.
Chose Vtiger
The selection of Vtiger as CRM wasn't on my hands. The decision was made before I arrived to the company. Nevertheless, I know that the pricing was one of the main reasons and the overall performance of Vtiger. It was feature on the top of Gartner's Magic Quadrant. And the …
Chose Vtiger
Synaptica is mainly for taxonomy, but it stores our product attribution as well, just like Vtiger. Vtiger is a more robust software, and stores product data beyond selling attributes. At our organization size, we like a program like Vtiger because it's more broad with more …
Chose Vtiger
VTiger had better overall cost and native capabilities that other solutions lacked. We used Nutshell CRM for over a year. It was a very efficient contact management system, but it seemed that if we needed to do anything but record contacts, we had to use an add-on. We spent a …
Chose Vtiger
Just being a user of Vtiger since I got hired at GB Advisors. Used those solutions on previous experiences, Microsoft Dynamics was deployed in my previous job for opportunity management, it was not so friendly as Vtiger, not sure if it was a bad deployment. Salesforce was used …
Chose Vtiger
SugarCRM is a very powerful CRM let down by a complex UI which means that most organizations would have trouble self-managing the database. leading to a high cost of ownership.
MailChimp is a great email marketing tool for databases below 2000 contacts as that is the point at …
Chose Vtiger
I have used MS Excel to manage such kind of operations but during reporting I faced lots of difficulties. Where in Vtiger CRM I got the most advantage out of MS Excel. It has a dynamic communication history system and a real time activity log where I can track the real time …
Chose Vtiger
The selection of vTiger was done by my management team to be able to see invoicing status in Quickbooks. Unfortunately, this feature has never worked but I think this might be a problem on our end, not a vTiger issue. We looked at Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, and ACT before making …
Zoho Desk
Chose Zoho Desk
We used HubSpot before, and it didn’t work very well for our needs. Zoho Desk is part of a much larger Zoho implementation. We’d like to have everything in one place, and Zoho provides that ability.
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho provides more bells and whistles comparted to the other platforms I have tried. The setup was easier and the transition was smoother. The support was much better as well. Whenever we would get stuck on something, support was a chat away and we always got the solution we …
Chose Zoho Desk
I have used Asana and Zoho desk and decided to go with Zoho due to the ease of intergration into other applications and platforms, the more affordable costing, a faster mobile application and for the slightly better automation capabilities. Asana is nice but the cost and …
Chose Zoho Desk
We selected Zoho Desk as we needed a platform that was going to allow the business to grow through both usage and staffing numbers. We wanted something cost-effective but still offered standard features in an effective cloud-delivered solution but would still allow …
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk is easily a winner for trouble ticket handling as Bitrix24 was not offering any dedicated trouble ticketing tool and we had no option but to use the Tasks section of Bitrix24 to handle our existing customers. Also Bitrix24 neither did have any dedicated mobile …
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk is always good at building different platforms for automation, so this one is also the best help desk platform available in the market. I can easily add the feedback with a report to easily convey the message accordingly. It can easily integrate with your existing …
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk has an interface that is extremely simple and practical to use, for even clients who are not skilled. Again, Zoho Desk has no lead time, when customers air their views or complaints. Finally, Zoho Desk works/integrates effectively with several other products for …
Chose Zoho Desk
Over the years I have used a few different support software applications. One being Remedy software. That was pretty nice, but they lacked an isp version. I am currently a user of Atlassian Jira and am not a big fan at this point. It is very cumbersome to use.
Chose Zoho Desk
After trialing and using Zoho Desk, we decided to move onto another product. Zoho has many features that make it a great product, but ease and intuitiveness of use was lacking for us.
Chose Zoho Desk
We evaluated products that were not free, but due to budget reasons we could not justify a purchase. So this free solution stacks up among the best in my opinion for no cost.
Chose Zoho Desk
The quality of support provided by Zoho Desk is brilliant. Ease of setup is a very easy process. Also it meets all the requirements that can be expected from such kind of software. Zoho Desk is a company that can be easy to do business with. It is really headed in the right …
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho [Desk] has much more quality of the information we required for our business than FreshDesk.
It was also easy to work with Zohos different modules albeit based on department specific products than it was when we used Freshdesk.
The Project management module was a …
Chose Zoho Desk
• In the acquisition of Zoho Desk I did not have the final decision but I have contributed as my analysis in the implementation. We decided to switch services since this tool is much more complete in terms of functionalities that help us to easily resolve and follow up on our …
Chose Zoho Desk
Value for money simply beats the rest. Also, as part of the Zoho Suite, integrations are wonderful, for example to CRM or consolidating Reporting with other apps such as Zoho Projects. Integration to advanced Analytics is also very helpful. In terms of features, they are pretty …
Chose Zoho Desk
Atera had a lot of features. You could install an agent to monitor updates, and you could deploy AV. Zoho Desk was easier to go through tickets and replies. It felt like Atera had more features, so it was slower. At times you would want to search for an old ticket in Atera, and …
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk is easy to set up for small business needs, and its dashboard is well-suited for our organization's needs. We are on a social network, which also helps us to get users' and applicants' queries through the social platform.
Another factor to start with it is its trial …
Chose Zoho Desk
Desk.com was too complicated and was cost prohibitive. We had switched from Desk by Salesforce to Zoho Desk
Chose Zoho Desk
Zoho Desk comes at a better price, and it offers integration with other Zoho applications so you can keep your information in a single place. Their support is good and will guide you through many things. Also their API is similar to other Zoho platforms, so employees can …

Vtiger has evolved in the interfaces design. You can access all required data from one screen, similar to a control data. You have also sales and support dashboards predefined, but you can create your own. As less appropriate the templates design, it has not evolved from old versions of Vtiger.

Pros
  • I love reporting. I can build a custom report using all or any of the dimensions of my choice. This is great when other programs often limit this ability.
  • I like that is a source of truth across the organization. We can all go in and see the same thing.
  • This also works for communication with our teams in other countries. We are a global organization.

  • Report features give the all insights of the customer team and customer support which enables us to make changes according to it.
  • The best thing about Zoho Desk is that it has a very beautiful and fully designed dashboard.
  • I have been using this software for a very long time in my organization, it is very easy to use with having the interface created on a very advanced module.
  • It is completely a feature rich platform.

Cons
  • Although Vtiger integrates well with email, like most CRM systems it assumes that you have one email system and therefore it is less suitable for use cases where multiple email systems need to be supported.
  • Although Vtiger supports Twitter it does not support other social media systems in the same way. You can tailor the system to hold the URLs of your contacts' social media profiles but if SM is a big thing for your organization then there are better systems available.

  • When utilizing as a ticketing system, it would be nice to have a better way to monitor when something is due. It's just a little cumbersome.
  • Search Functionality - The search functionality could use a tweak or two. Too many times I am unable to find tickets. This would also be very helpful for the "Recycle Bin" when you just need to find that ticket you accidentally deleted (we are all human!). :)

Usability
In the Last versions they have done a strong effort in creating a powerful data screen. Inside the screen you have access to signing, communications with multiple tools integration and connections with all modules related. With a single view you have all control over your data relations. It is similar to a control managing.

Zoho Desk on operational capacity is the most effective help desk we have come across, as it is suitable for businesses of all forms and shapes, from large to small. Again, Zoho Desk captures the attention of all clients, and on time, offers solutions to their demands without failing. Lastly, Zoho Desk requires no extra skill to execute the program.

there is not much problem in using CRM. There were times it was lagging or bugging, but later on it will be fixed and I can use it again.

Their support is excellent. They are always available to answer all your queries and doubts. Be it a call or email or even live chat. You will always get a prompt response from their customer support executives. They are very much familiar with the product and all its functionality. Sometimes you get stuck and don’t know what to do. They are always there for your questions

Return on Investment
  • I managed to increase my production by 20% each month.
  • We increased the number of new clients each year.
  • Clients were satisfied by our support team.

  • By running reports based on ticket, we can see how much time is spent on each customer and can manage these customers better based on what we see are there issues
  • We can also run reports based on the types of queries customers are coming in with which allows us to develop our product based on actual customers needs as a whole.
  • Automatic reporting once set up saves many man hours as new customers can be added automatically if required, and it saves having to build these reports monthly or possibly weekly
