Nicole D
Owner
4.0

Nicole D.: My name's Nicole. I'm the owner and founder of Nicole Du Guay Coaching & Consulting, and I give Zoho CRM a four out of five. Prior to using Zoho CRM, I've tried a number of different CRM platforms, and Mindbody Online is an example and a couple of other ones. And I found that Zoho CRM, although the other platforms have ... Some are more specific for specific industries. Having tested a number of them, I just find that I like the integration and the versatility of Zoho CRM a lot better. The number one reason that I decided to try Zoho CRM was because I was already using Zoho Meetings and I liked the idea that I can integrate my calendar and my booking system and have it directly linked to my meetings platform that I was already using. Zoho CRM was a little bit challenging at first. It does take a little bit of time to find your way around the platform, but once I was familiar with it, it was actually really easy to get the hang of and get into using it. I would recommend that anybody wanting to use Zoho CRM take some time just to look at all the other integrations that you're already using and wanting to use and actually consider combining your accounts into the Zoho platform because I did find that if you had platforms like MailChimp, for example, that was separate, it actually ... Even though you can make it work, it actually is just easier if you keep everything in the Zoho family, which I would recommend.

Andrew K
Senior Program Manager
5.0

Andrew K.: My name is Andrew. I'm a program manager at a software company, and I would give Avochato a five out of five rating. Before we started using Avochato, we were a very small scrappy team, and we were actually just using one of the team member's Google Voices account to send and receive texts with customers when we needed to. One of the main alternative products that we considered when we were looking at Avochato was called Skipio. The main reason that we didn't go with it was because the pricing wasn't great for a very small team like ours, though it would have been a better option later on as we grew. The main reasons that we went with Avochato were the pricing, and the compatibility with Zapier. The pricing was great for a small growing team like ours. It didn't have too high of a bar to get started. So we could kind of just pay for what we used. And the prices were very, very reasonable, and they stayed reasonable even as we grew quite a bit. And Zapier was another important thing for us because we use Zapier to automate a lot of these processes as they grew, and Avochato worked really, really well with Zapier. It was really easy to set up and really easy to create automated workflows and expand as we grew. Getting started without Avochato was super easy. I think we basically just read some help documentation on the website for maybe 20 or 30 minutes. We got our account provisioned. That was pretty much it. The rest of it, we just sort of added new features and took advantage of new features as we went along, but getting started and being able to send and receive our first texts took no more than 10 minutes. For people who are considering using Avochato, I would recommend thinking about two things, pricing and integrations. One, pricing is important when you start out, but you also have to think about where you're going to go, because if you're growing 10 X one year, you don't want to have to change SMS platforms if you don't have to. So make sure you pick something that works for you now, but will also work and make sense as you grow. The second thing is integrations. For our team, it was really important that the tool that we chose integrate with certain tools like Zapier. And again, this only gets more important as you grow. So make sure it's going to fit with your other tools that you use.
