Overall Satisfaction with Zoho CRM
We use Zoho CRM to keep track of our Leads and clients. Our Sales team uses it to track their leads and to schedule follow-ups with their leads, set up calls, emails, etc. Our support team uses this to work with existing clients. We also integrate this with a few other tools in the Zoho Suite. Both Zoho Desk and Zoho Campaigns work really well with it. For the support team, being able to create tickets and manage our clients across Zoho Desk and CRM makes things really easy. Our marketing team also sets up email campaigns through Zoho Campaigns and CRM integration.
- The integration with Zoho Campaigns and Zoho Desk is fantastic. It is really easy to access data from Zoho CRM for both support and marketing-related purposes by using the integrations.
- It is also really easy to set up follow ups with leads you are in conversation with.
- There is a high degree of automation that is also built into the system that our sales team uses frequently. Email and reminders are well integrated into Zoho CRM.
- We like that we can pay based on the number of seats we need and increase or decrease that whenever we want to add or remove new users.
- Being able to define the roles and access level of each user we add into Zoho CRM is a really useful feature.
- It is a complicated software to learn to use. It took our team a fair bit of time to get proficient with this.
- Their knowledge base wasn't really that good when we had a few "how-to" issues crop up. But their support team was fantastic and very helpful.
- It has improved our sales outreach efforts.
- Lead tracking has ensured that we are able to follow each lead through completion without missing critical items.
- Account conversion allows us to easily track and upgrade leads when they convert.
Having had customized sales or customer pipelines has allowed us to better track our data and implement strategy that can be used for improved retention.
We looked at both HubSpot and Zendesk. And we liked both of them. They had the right features and enough customization options to fit our use case scenario. But we liked the pricing and the flexibility of Zoho CRM more. The other really major factor for picking Zoho CRM for us was the fact that we were already using Zoho Desk and planned on using Zoho Campaigns. Integrations with those two [products were] the deciding factor.

Zoho CRM Feature Ratings
Zoho CRM Implementation
- Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal - Change management was not one of our primary concerns when we shifted into Zoho CRM. We expected the impact to be very minimal and it was.In retrospect though, depending on the size of your CRM data, it might be worth engaging with a third party. Our dataset was fairly small in size and in house worked fine for us with minimal issues.
- Data structure issues. Our data format for importing was not set up correctly and it took more time than anticipated to get it right.
- Customization. Not a major issue but this was something we had planned for and it took some time to set up the CRM to work the way we wanted it to work.

Pros | Cons |

Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
Support was included in our plan. We never felt the need to explore and look into any additional premium support beyond that. We were satisfied with the support we received so never felt the need to look into a higher tier option.
Yes - Yes. Their team took our report and were able to resolve it quickly. They also did a good job communicating and keeping us posted on the status of the bug report.
We have had to occasionally swap out users when old people leave and new people join. This obviously leads to more scenarios where we have to contact the Zoho team. One of our users (who had to contact them more than once) described the process of getting help as "fantastic".
