It fits my needs perfectly and does an incredible job of helping me manage my business and sell. Pros The amount of functionality retained in the mobile app is amazing. It is by far the most useful mobile app out of the many CRMs I have tried. Also the product is extremely customizable - I find it to be a perfect fit for my business and my sales process. Cons There weren't many things I didn't like about Zoho. There is a substantial learning curve, due to the depth of customization and features available.

Customer Success Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Zoho CRM - Easy to Use" May 22, 2026 5.0 Pros It is very easy to use and maintaining the leads and deals are much more easier. It is easy to send out emails directly from our crm leads. Cons It is a bit difficult while integrating with the previous crm as there are few gaps and not able to capture the few details same as the previous crm Switched from [Freshsales](https://www.capterra.com/p/155563/Freshsales/) Iam an user so not sure about it, the company decided to switch. But as a suggestion maybe due to certain difficulties that was faced in fresh sales and zoho was suggested for a changeover Review Source GO Gabriella O. Human resources manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zoho CRM Simplifies workflows and customer engagement " September 8, 2026 5.0 Pros I like Zoho CRM for its smart workflow management that automates routine tasks and it’s effective email campaign features that helps create and track personalized customer engagement. Cons I honestly got nothing to dislike towards Zoho CRM everything was perfect while working with it so no dislike! Review Source Joseph T. CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Worst Customer Service; Rep \[sensitive content hidden\] unhelpful" February 11, 2026 1.0 Cons We have used Zoho services operationally, but our experience with Zoho’s billing and account management has been unacceptable. For more than two months, Zoho was unable to correct billing issues on its own systems after transitioning our account from annual to monthly billing. During that time, Zoho repeatedly threatened service suspension despite being unable to provide a functioning invoice or payment method. When a usable invoice and payment link were finally provided late on a Friday afternoon, Zoho suspended our services less than 48 hours later for “non-payment,” without prior notice that immediate payment was required and without allowing any reasonable payment window (e.g., net 7). This occurred despite Zoho being fully aware that the delay was caused entirely by its own billing failures. Requests for accommodation, escalation, or direct communication were denied. Services were effectively held until payment was made the same day. The product may be viable, but Zoho’s billing controls, escalation process, and customer accountability are deeply flawed. Business customers should carefully consider the operational risk created by these practices.

It's a robust, budget-friendly CRM that perfectly streamlines lead tracking and sales automation. Despite a slight learning curve in slower support response, it remains an excellent tool for growing businesses Pros The best part about Zoho CRM is it's incredible value for money and customization options. It offers powerful pipeline management and automated workflow at a fraction of the cost of its major competitors. The platform makes tracking sales leads simple and highly effective Cons What I like least about the initial learning curve can be steep because the interface has so many deep minis. Additionally, The standard customer support can sometimes be slow to resolve complex technical setup issues Review Source PB Philip B. Operations Manager Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Weak Customer Support and After Sales Support" April 15, 2026 1.0 I've open multiple tickets over 5 days and got just 1 canned illogical generic response. The customer support is pathetic and non-existence. I've got an IT degree and provided all the info and background to resolve the situation. Zohio is cheap, but don't do it as you're on your own if there is an issue and you just can't get a resolution to even obvious and simple problems. Pros Great features and a good range of interconnected products. This should be great and everyone should sign up but... Cons Appalling lack of customer service. Impossible to get a timely or logical response to an obvious problem caused by Zoho.

DIRECTOR Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy-to-Use CRM for Organised Customer Management" September 24, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Zoho CRM has been positive. It provides a good range of tools for managing customers, leads, sales activities, and follow-ups in one place. The system is flexible and useful for keeping information organised, although it can take a little time to learn and set up properly. Overall, it has helped make customer and sales management more organised and efficient. Pros Zoho CRM is easy to use and helps keep customer information organised in one place. I like the clear layout, useful automation features, and the ability to track customer interactions and follow-ups without making the process complicated. Cons The main thing I liked least about Zoho CRM is that it can take some time to learn all the features. The number of settings and options can feel a little overwhelming at first, and some customisation and advanced features require extra time to set up. Review Source DL Denis L.

The interface can feel complex or cluttered. Advanced analytics and reporting difficult to configure. Review Source AS Alina S. Graphic Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The Best Tool" September 23, 2026 5.0 Zoho CRM remains an interesting solution for staying organized when managing client relationships. I find it most useful when I need to keep track of several projects at the same time. Pros Zoho CRM helps me better organize my contacts and keep track of my projects. For my design business, I can easily find client information and follow the different stages of a collaboration. I also appreciate the customization options, which allow me to adapt the tool to my workflow. Cons For a small business, some options can also feel more complicated than necessary when using a CRM.

Pros Brilliant email and marketing side of things and great value for money. Some very powerful tools to follow up and see opportunities. Cons Steep learning curve to get it all setup with the automation etc. quite a lot of clutter on the menus etc Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product manager Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good CRM, better with the whole Zoho Suite" October 28, 2025 4.0 More than 2 years using it as main CRM, for managing accounts in Spain, Portugal and Italy. Connected with the rest of the Zoho ecosystem, specially with Projects, Sprints, Books and Analytics. Pros CRM management with plenty of features, customizations and all you can expect from a modern CRM. It's biggest advantage? If you use the whole Zoho Suite, everything is connected and you can improve your company A LOT. Among that, it's a good CRM. Cons As all Zoho apps, configuration it's a little bit complicated, permissions are sometimes ultra complex to understand, and some adjustments need to be done by the OWNER of the installation, which is only ONE account and can do some administrative things. Another con is definitely support, which honestly it's not the best.

Academic Director Education Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Worst User Experience - too many phonecalls" May 14, 2025 1.0 The interface is overwhelming, cluttered with endless tabs and technical jargon that isn’t clearly explained. It feels more like trying to navigate a complex enterprise system than a tool meant to help small businesses streamline their processes. What’s worse, after simply requesting a demo, I was relentlessly bombarded with calls—up to 10 times a day, starting as early as 7 a.m. While I understand the intention is to offer support, this level of aggressive sales outreach is intrusive and exhausting. If you’re a small business owner looking for a simple, effective CRM, I recommend skipping the headache and exploring options like Streak CRM. It’s clean, easy to use, integrates directly with Gmail, and doesn’t require a master’s degree to figure out. Zoho might work for large organizations with dedicated tech teams, but for small businesses looking for simplicity and peace of mind, it’s just not the right fit. Pros ZOHO was supposed to help me streamline a lot of my processes for my small business.The pro's for me were the price and the ALL IN ONE factor. Cons Despite all the marketing claims that Zoho CRM is “easy to use” and “intuitive,” my experience—and clearly that of many others—says otherwise. I scheduled a demo - then they canceled it and rescheduled it for 7:30am - well that did not work for me. Then the phone calls started. UGH They were very intrusive. Don't they know that people do not use the phone anymore ? I am surprised they didn't try to fax me.

That being said, it's not perfect, in the early startup, it was a bit frustrating and every now and then, the platform looked a bit clustered. Overall, I would say my experience is reliable and practical. It is not the best CRM out there, but it gets the work done Pros Zoho CRM is an app I keep coming back to because of its interface simplicity and effective functionality Cons My least favourite thing about Zoho CRM is it can feel a bit clustered, sometimes one will have to click through many screens to get something that can ordinarily be gotten easily. Although it's not bad but can be improved. Review Source SG Sauve G.

" April 22, 2026 4.0 Overall zoho is value for money and one of the easiest to use CRM for mid sized companies. Zoho’s integration is far more superior that most of the other CRM. Pros Ease of use. The search in Zoho is far more superior than other popular CRMs like Netsuite And verticals in zoho make it easy to navigate between related records Cons It is no good at customisation.

Pros Zoho CRM's exceptional value and deep customization, which allows my team members to tailor modules and workflows to specific business needs without high costs Cons Zoho CRM's biggest drawbacks are its steep learning curve due to a cluttered interface and inconsistent customer support response times for non-premium users.

" April 15, 2026 5.0 Overall, Zoho CRM is so easy to use and navigate! I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of keeping track of data. The software is super organized and a great cost. Pros What I liked most about Zoho is how customizable it is. You can easily change the structure and formatting of the software so it’s personalized for your specific use. Cons What I liked the least about Zoho is how you can’t link it to other softwares. This is important for businesses that have to use many different applications. Review Source DO Damilare O.

You can grow with it from a free tier to advanced plans featuring AI, automation, and scalability. Pros Zoho CRM is frequently praised for its ease of use and integrations especially for businesses already in the Zoho ecosystem. TechRadar notes that it's “very easy to use,” with handy features like social media and LinkedIn contact capture, business card scanning, automated workflows, pipeline management, and seamless integration with Zoho apps like Invoice, Campaigns, and Project Management Cons Zoho CRM on Mobile is the epitome of a waste of time.

IT-Developer Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid, Scalable CRM with Powerful Automation" June 18, 2025 4.0 Zoho CRM helped us centralize customer data, automate tasks, and improve team coordination. Once configured, it runs smoothly and supports daily operations well. Pros Zoho CRM is highly customizable and scales well. Workflow automation, email integration, and the intuitive Kanban view save us hours each week. Cons Some modules feel outdated. UI can be slow at times, and setup requires patience. The mobile app also lacks some key desktop features.

Pros Its easy to use even for freshers, UI is very simple and understandable. Most importantly Its helpful for sales pipeline. Email Management feature helps to increase productivity. Cons According to me the only con is - Content management limitations - Data import and data export limitations only. Review Source AG Ana G. Marketing Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An effective CRM that helps me achieve our company goals" April 29, 2025 5.0 Logically, leads are lost from uninterested people. The CRM helps me retake conversations and re-capture the attention of those interested. I plan the information with which the customer care employees should interact, and I automate the recall messages. I track the results of these interactions. Zoho stats could be more detailed, but they are enough to assess what I can improve from the strategies I implement. Pros The auto-tracking is simply brilliant. It is exact and helps to continue the conversation appropriately. Custom messages are practical and easy to access. The automation of storing the details of the leads help us prevent the loss of contact information. The automated assignment of funnels and responsible user saves time and prevents us from committing recurring human errors. Cons Performance could be better. The AI may initially seem very helpful, but it's easy for the bot to generate incoherent conversations. I have to monitor the chats and step in when necessary. Yes, it helps me automate, but I can't stop supervising it.

I have no issues with it and it helped our team to stay organized with onboarding customers and the sales funnel. Pros Easily could manage my customers information and see it all at a glance. Showed the staging we were in with onboarding for that customer. Cons Seemed like the user interface could be more user friendly and visually appealing. It works but it isn't pretty.

Administration Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for Task Management, Hard to set up without help" February 3, 2026 4.0 Pros Zoho allows multiple users and it works great for task management. The website itself is easy to navigate through different areas. Cons Zoho is initially difficult to set up on your own and requires help from customer support or paid help to initially set up. It does cost quiet a bite as well.
