Considered Both Products
Zoho CRM
Chose Zoho CRM
After thoroughly evaluating leading CRM solutions, including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, we selected Zoho CRM for its exceptional value, versatility, and customer-centric approach. Zoho CRM stands out us in term of comprehensive feature support, Integration and …
Chose Zoho CRM
We required a full-featured corporate working tool, and Hubspot wasn't the most excellent alternative. We were guaranteed that Zoho CRM may fill up the holes in our earlier framework. Furthermore, Zoho is fantastically cost-effective for indeed the most minor endeavors, giving …
Chose Zoho CRM
An affordable, comprehensive suite of tools suitable for small to enterprise-sized businesses.
Chose Zoho CRM
Free user access was one reason to use it more than any other software. Also, for a mid-size organization, the Salesforce cost was a little higher, and Pipedrive was almost similar to Zoho. As we were already using Zoho, we found no urgency to switch.
Chose Zoho CRM
Overall top quality and great features! Fantastic!
Chose Zoho CRM
I love campaigns, very user friendly. Synching with Zoho CRM is easy and it's a nice feature to not have to update 2 programs, when we update a contact record in Zoho CRM, it's nice to know that that contact info is also updated in campaigns. We never have to worry about emails …
Chose Zoho CRM
We used to use Hubspot before Zoho. I think Hubspot is a great tool and contains a lot of very nice features, but Zoho stacks up quite well against it as it offers most of the same features at a significantly reduced price. We could also migrate our data from Hubspot to Zoho …
Chose Zoho CRM
Salesforce CRM would have been my go-to if I had the budget for it. Zoho CRM goes 90% of the way for a much decent price.
Chose Zoho CRM
Sugar was great when we first got started. Zoho CRM allowed us to take things to the next level and get the support that we needed along with that transition. Zoho CRM's customization was mush easier to setup and use without having to rely on developers to create custom code …
Chose Zoho CRM
We have only looked into other CRMs but Zoho is our first one. I think we chose it because of price not necessarily because it was better than any of the other options. It was our first CRM system so we didn't have anything to base it off of.
Chose Zoho CRM
It is decent against what is offered in the market, it follows certain philosophy of CRM which may not be a perfect fit for everyone.
There are not so many guides and new updates push for differentiation.
Formatting and bugs appearances are often an issue.
Chose Zoho CRM
Overall Zoho CRM is great. It might not be the best CRM but if you compare the price difference, i think Zoho CRM does wonders. I ll not line it up in the same position with Salesforce and Hubspot but it is full full-capacity CRM. If they add AI capabilities and add more …
Chose Zoho CRM
Hubspot and NetSuite are much better solutions in my mind, I've used both and enjoyed both.
Chose Zoho CRM
While Zoho CRM was not as feature rich as Salesforce.com, it was definitely more affordable. We looked at upgrading our current CRM, Goldmine CRM, but it was too limited and the upgrade offered was not cloud based. We were already a Zoho customer, using Zoho Projects, and …
Chose Zoho CRM
HUbSpot Is not Effective . Even though it has all Option its not user Friendly to Create Report and filter the leads like that so i switch to Zoho
Chose Zoho CRM
For our organizations requirements, Zoho CRM fits for it and pricing to less than other products and it also has all suite plan where accounts team and marketing team use.
Chose Zoho CRM
All in one stack with Zoho One has helped us to make the decision to choose CRM
Chose Zoho CRM
I am using both at the same time, due to lack of performance on Zoho CRM marketing toolset (lack of different unsubscribe pages, forms, language support for users) we needed to find another alternative.
Chose Zoho CRM
We selected ZOHO over the above - specifically salesforce - initially because of the price. Secondly, we do not have the technical expertise and budget to do a lot of customization at this time. So, we needed a product that had a good user interface, and that was flexible and …
Chose Zoho CRM
Zoho is cheaper and simpler but not that efficient as compare to HubSpot CRM. I think HubSpot has 100 more features than Zoho.
Email deliverability is also better on HubSpot in my experience. I think but it does the job though. It all depends on what you want to do.
Chose Zoho CRM
Zoho has an all-in-one solution called Zoho One which combines most of the solutions a company of our size requires. Thanks to this, we were able to consolidate our solutions into a single ecosystem while saving money. Zoho also has sales and marketing automation features that …

Zoho One
Chose Zoho One
Once again I think that Zoho One does above almost everyone because of its ease of use easy integration and again the money savings at the long run is what really sells us on this plus I think that live customer service is one of the best in the industry. I only use others if …
Chose Zoho One
All the similar products I mentioned are available in One ssubscription of Zoho One.
Chose Zoho One
The primary reason we switched from Daylite is when we started using Virtual Assistants and wanted a cloud based alternative which Daylite didn't provide. We left MYOB when I think it stopped supporting Apple computers. We left AccountEdge when it stopped supporting payroll tax …
Chose Zoho One
ZOHO was cost-friendly compared to the above tools. This is the biggest pro ZOHO has. Using the above tools requires a manager who works and sets everything up in one place so that others can easily access the data, but in ZOHO, it is very easy to segregate data and use it …
Chose Zoho One
I wasn’t part of the decision-making process, but I will say that coming into using Zoho One, I was really skeptical. Based on my use of it about 10 years ago, but I have seen massive improvement. It is really quite functional and allows us to do a lot of different things that …
Chose Zoho One
Zoho One is the upgraded version of CRM Plus, with added features and apps.
I can't recommend it enough.
Chose Zoho One
5 years ago, we decided to use Odoo. At that time, the enterprise version of Odoo was not competitive enough for a small company with minor integration needs when it comes to the pricing per user.

Nowadays, pricing is almost equal. The effort of integration processes with Odoo …
Chose Zoho One
During the Demo, Zoho One performed well; however, post-implementation - the product has fallen short on all fronts.
Chose Zoho One
There is nothing quite close to what Zoho offers with Zoho One in terms of breadth and depth of applications integrated together as a single product.
Also, you get to manage a single license and user management on Zoho One, whereas you would need to work with multiple vendors …

This is very useful and handy software for initial use and sometimes later on. Its low price and rich features make it one of the most suitable software for small and midsize organizations. Customer management and tracking make your daily tasks easier.

  • Collaboration tools are excellent

Cons
  • Need some way to switch a field type without losing the pre-existing data.
  • The settings controls should be broken out differently - I don't like that I can't keep some users from exporting all contact records (i.e., the entire Contacts module) because if the export function is turned off, the export function of Reports for those same modules is also blocked.
  • Frustrating that only 3 custom lookup fields are allowed per module in our license.

  • In my opinion, SUPPORT IS AWFUL!!!
  • If you want to get in touch with a support representative, your best bet is to call the sales number and demand to speak with an agent.
  • Each of the tools operates in a silo, from a support perspective. Some applications, like books, have chat-based support and others require an e-mail.
  • In my experience, expect any e-mail to the main support e-mail to go unanswered.
  • The first year of support was great, but after we renewed for the second year, it has become terrible.

We are generally very satisfied with the zoho crm. Some extras are just added to improve productivity but overall Zoho CRM is highly recommended over many competitors. You can start with a few clicks to configure your needs. As you become an expert, you will be able to activate and configure the modules and integrations that you require. I know we still have a lot to discover so we're sticking with Zoho CRM, we're not interested in new options at the moment

Usability
Compared to our previous CRM, Zoho is a breeze. I can look up customers and reports with no issue. There are times when it may be difficult to find something, but I assume that is because I am not in Zoho every day like the sales team is. It does everything we need very simply, so I would definitely recommend it to others.

ZOHO is very easy to use. All you need to do is follow the steps and features aligned in it. ZOHO doesn't need complex coding or training; anyone can easily access and use it. You may feel a bit of difficulty initially, but show me an easy tool when you are using it for the first time.

Reliability and Availability
In my many years using Zoho, I think there were only 1 or 2 days when there was something happening and I was not able to log in. Sure, it wasn't fun and we all panicked a bit, but right after that, all was well and work-life continued. Being cloud based, I'm never worried about losing my iPhone, iPad or Laptop as I know I can log in anywhere on any device and workflow won't stop.

Performance
I don't recall every having any issues with a page not loading due to it being a Zoho issue. Anytime I've had any issues with something being wonky, I clear cache and that has always solved the problem. Or a simply computer reboot and we're back, hard at work. Look, I don't expect any product to delivery 100%, 100% of the time but if I had any consistent ongoing issues, I would have left many years ago. I still keep my eyes open to what is new but after a quick evaluation, I know Zoho will long be my home.

Support Rating
We did the training and that was a huge waste of money. The information provided was basic and the instructor was sloppy (he even forgot to turn off his mic when he used the restroom - no one should ever hear what we heard). I offered up a 9 because we were able to find what we needed on your website.
Read full review
Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

The primary reason we switched from Daylite is when we started using Virtual Assistants and wanted a cloud based alternative which Daylite didn't provide. We left MYOB when I think it stopped supporting Apple computers. We left AccountEdge when it stopped supporting payroll tax tables for Apple computers. Thankfully, each time we left one software company we were led to Zoho and have remained ever since.
