What do you like best about Zoho CRM Plus?

1. The ability to create different/multiple modules for each department.

2. Easy provision of different roles, profiles, and user permissions

3. Workflows are a great plus point for automating tasks.

The best feature for us using the CRM plus version is the seamless workflow automation, which helps us trigger more advanced features required for our usage.Also the email blaster is an excellent to-have feature which saves a lot of time in bulk emailing.

Zoho CRM is such a niche product easy to implement for the organization and optimized enough to customize the product as per sales flow needs. It has easy to develop workflow environment.

Ease of deployment, ease of use, customization capabilities, multichannel communications, integration with Whatsapp and social media, tasks and leads follow up and automated reminders

What do you dislike about Zoho CRM Plus?

1. Mass deletion of records of 50000 plus is not possible.

2. The history of records when changes are made by bulk import is not shown in the history tab.

3. In the view section, 100 is the limit. It can be extended to more than 100 to view more records on a page.

The only tricky part for us was customer ticket management, as it became a tedious task to create or ask a customer to create it. Also, on more annoying thing is the email integration with outlook it is just not easy, and we have to manage two inboxes at times.

ZOHO CRM has a very inefficient marketplace. If you are looking for pre-built extensions then ZOHO CRM lacks in that matter. Also, configuring email to Zoho CRM is not very effective as it shares all the emails with its peers. which in some cases is not suitable for the organization.

It was kind of tricky when importing data from previous CRM; importing templates tends to be restrictive in terms of getting data from CVS files or other DB Info

What problems is Zoho CRM Plus solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Many of the manual field updates are now solved by implementing Workflows

2. Easy trace of changes or updates made to records via feed notification. This makes communication easier.

We majorly use it for customer and campaign management as these were the primary requirements of our teams. Our older support system was a pain, and we wanted to use it to ease our resources and manage campaigns easily.

It is a well-established platform in terms of salesforce. Also in terms of workforce automation. We are currently managing all the sales process through the CRM which give a prominent overview of the entire sales cycle.

Using the ZOHO CRM we have an overview of the sales cycle it helps the organization to take effective steps toward the growth and can understand the blockage in the sales process.
