The Bad

Usage Limits
Limitations on Free Edition

Usage Limits

Zoho will prescribe usage limits based on the chosen subscription plan. Users will have to stay within their usage limits advocated by Zoho, otherwise, Zoho may restrict the activity.

Limitations on Free Edition

There are several drawbacks to using the free edition of Zoho CRM. The free edition doesn't offer a lot of options for customization of the CRM to the needs of the business. If a user wants to add custom reports, customized functions, and additional modules, they will need to purchase a more expensive edition.

The Bottom Line

Zoho is a software system that specializes in business productivity apps to help users to be better connected to their customers. Multiple pricing options and simple integration with other apps allow the users to be more organized and prepared on the go; however, even though free edition might be an incentive to choose Zoho CRM system, users soon will find that limitations to customer support and customization features might not be worth it.

Zoho is a very low cost of entry and is perfect when you are just getting started on their free version. But as you grow it grows with you. For any business, their zoho one suite is a no-brainer, with CRM, books, help desk, sign and more. This CRM does everything I've ever needed one to do and more. I'll stay away from the excessive SFDC and stick with Zoho

I use Zoho for work and feel like it is not a very good tool- but unfortunately is the best I can find. While there are some options to customize, it is a far way from entirely customizable. There are a lot of options that you can’t get rid of. Their email and communication system is garbage and onboarding is complicated. That being said- good like trying to find something better.

Use Zoho at work everyday to track clients and keep notes about each interaction and work processes. Easy to use and robust.
