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.

January 16, 2026 4.0 Does what we need it to do, super easy to onboard any new team members, and I haven't had to use customer support! While the team at Zoho is likely awesome, especially given the product quality, I've been sufficiently satisfied since joining! Pros I love that there is a free version for us to use while we are at a stage of growth where we are evolving from spreadsheets (free, but messy) and to a real platform that can support us! Cons I wish I could load update information fields for contacts or accounts as I am uploading. Legit the only challenge I've run into thus far in using this platform. I've used several other CRMs in my career and Zoho is the most intuitive. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/268338/App-Cloud/)[HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Zoho CRM The flexibility to align with our industry-specific field configuration (without the headache of setting this up in SFDC or HubSpot) 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 got lot of fragmented like alerts, real messages messed up or buried in unwanted zero value automated alerts. Pros It’s a tool that Keeps all my leads in one place and helps me run a campaign. It is integrated with my website and Ring central my phone system. Cons Its tasks are never in sync with Leads. These should not be so fragmented. Tasks should be marked on the page as Leads. Switched from [LinkedIn for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/213505/LinkedIn-for-Business/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) It came with my new company.

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 Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zoho CRM a great start for SMEs" February 16, 2026 5.0 Simple to learn and use but takes time to set up if you need something more than the default settings Pros When bundled in Zoho One it provide a lot of features for one low price. Includes social posts, sales IQ, signing and campaigns. Cons Not keen on having to visit separate window for each module. can be tricky to set up relationships and add new fields.

Setting up workflows, creating custom fields and managing contacts was straightforward. Pros This is a great CRM option for businesses that don't have a large budget. That being said, it doesn't feel cheap and includes a lot of great features for sales and marketing teams. Cons The email tool is a little basic regarding design templates - although the scheduling functionality is good. The reporting module could be improved. The standard reports didn't quite fit what we required and it was difficult to find the relevant fields when creating custom reports. Switched from [Kaseya BMS](https://www.capterra.com/p/158273/Kaseya-BMS/) The CRM module had inferior functionality and reporting functions. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Travel Consultant Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful and Flexible, once you get past the learning curve" April 22, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Zoho CRM has been positive most times, once i set up my page, ZOHO CRM does an amazing job keeping everything organized from leads, contacts, deals and communication history are all easy to be tracked in one place. 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 AD Alexandre D. Secretary General Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An excellent solid CRM with good customization features." June 16, 2026 4.0 It is a perfect fit for our team's processes and it is an economical choice to keep us organized. The advanced features do have a learning curve, but are effective upon proper configuration. The best I can say is that it’s a stable and solid option for properly midsize businesses such as ours, where we need a blend of capabilities in contact administration, e-mail communications, and process automation. Pros This one is extremely organized to handle our client and partner databases. The customizability of the fields is something I appreciate as it allows us to modify it for our needs and not have to use pre-made templates. What I really like about the e-mail is that it's contained in the system, so it's great for after-sales. It’s reasonably priced for the features you get. Cons Certain automation workflows are overly cumbersome to build, particularly when including multiple conditions and actions. Additionally, although the platform permits email marketing, the analytics provided on email campaigns appear a little elementary compared to devoted email marketing tools. Data visualization and reports could be richer and easier to understand with a simple glance at it. Review Source YN Yasmine N. Customer Services Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My review for Zoho CRM." July 1, 2026 5.0 The software has a very user-friendly design.

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.

The great part is that even though it's cost-effective, it doesn't feel low-quality at all. Cons Well the email editor is a bit limited when it comes to pre-made templates, even though the ability to schedule emails works well. The reporting feature also needs some work.
