I like that there are so many apps that I can use on one platform. Pros Zoho One provides value to our small business for an affordable price. I like that Zoho has the ability to be easy for novice users and the ability to get under the hood and integrate it with other apps/software. There are so many aspects of Zoho that I like. I'll touch on a few. I like that we can use a Zoho forms on our website's contact page and have it feed into Zoho Leads with the Lead source and date filled out. I was paying quite a bit for DocuSign and switched over to Zoho One. I like the ability to use Sign when you need a customer to sign a quote, etc., and it adds it into CRM. I handle customer support and internal IT support. I use Help Desk to track these tickets. It is very helpful to be able to go to an Account in the CRM and see the ticket. I created our company's help page for users to sign up, see our product help, and submit tickets. I added a private Distributor Resources section that is very useful for my distributors. I recently created a Virtual Data Room (VDR) in WorkDrive for potential investors. Very powerful and secure. Outside of using Zoho One, the support is very good. I have always received a response within 24 hours. Zoho Analytics is incredible. I like the option to be able to create widgets and place them on my CRM dashboards. I created a dashboard for the \[sensitive content hidden\] so that he can see leads and potential sales opportunities. Cons Sometimes, there are some quirky aspects of CRM. API don't always work consistently. However, I really don't have any issues with Zoho One.

For a single user like me, it is difficult to get the most out of it without spending a whole month setting it up calmly, very calmly. You should have a 6 month trial just to configure it and then be able to use it calmly. Pros Zoho One is one of those products that can be overwhelming the first time you see it. Packed with apps and possibilities. You have apps to perform almost any task within a company. EVERYTHING. If you're going to use it or three of the apps it has, you'll get your money's worth. Cons Integration between apps, while possible, is not as automatic as one would expect as they are all from the same developer. It takes time and effort to set everything up and there are some really complex tasks. The price for a single user like me is excessive. For large companies it is multiplied by the number of users, but their large number of apps can justify it.

CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No in-built default Automation of Client Follow-ups, or Templated Worklows" September 30, 2025 2.0 Zoho One needs Natural-language workflows + Universal Eventing + Error Visibility. Non-technical Zoho CRM users struggle to automate follow-ups and system integrations because: 1. Webhook setup is technical (JSON payloads, Deluge scripting). 2. Event subscriptions are incomplete and inconsistent across modules. 3. No retry/error handling for failed webhooks. 4. No natural-language interface for workflow creation. As a result, businesses rely on third-party middleware (like Jeeva AI) to achieve what should be native CRM functionality. Zoho's competitors like HubSpot and HubSpot Operation does this better. Pros Affordable. Support team are apologetic about functionality but platform is behind industry standard for CRM technology. Cons Non-technical Zoho CRM users struggle to automate follow-ups and system integrations which its competitors do a better job of. Switched from [Freshsales](https://www.capterra.com/p/155563/Freshsales/) Because I was misinformed. I regret it. I might go with a competitor. Review Source Aditya J.

It’s a powerful all-in-one platform that helps manage different parts of the business from a single place. Once you get familiar with the apps, it really improves efficiency and reduces the need to switch between multiple tools. While there’s a bit of a learning curve at the start, the value and convenience it provides make it worth it. Pros What I liked most about Zoho One is how it brings everything into one platform. It includes apps for CRM, email, accounting, project management, HR, and more, so you don’t need separate tools. The apps integrate smoothly, which makes daily work easier and saves time. It’s also flexible and affordable, especially compared to using multiple separate tools. Cons One thing I liked least about Zoho One is that it can feel a bit overwhelming at the beginning because there are so many apps included. It takes some time to understand which tools to use and how everything fits together. Also, while most integrations work well, a few apps don’t feel as polished or consistent as others.

Managing director Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Lots of Features, but takes some work to fully integrate" March 8, 2021 4.0 I have used Zoho for my own business and also implemented it for several clients. 4 years ago, I loved everything about the platform and loved the integrated nature of apps (books, expense, inventory, CRM), however, the more I had to push the customisation of Zoho, the more barriers I found and cracks started to appear in their polished promises. I still believe that Zoho has a big offering for small businesses as long as they do not need customised process flows or integrations. I have decided to move my business away from using Zoho and have actually downgraded in functionality to another "business platform" provider on a lifetime deal. I will be fully evaluating Zoho for future clients as I have spent far too many weeks pushing out project deadlines due to poor inter-Zoho integrations. Pros A HUGE bang for the buck. Getting access to all Zoho apps for one value price is super appealing and great value. All the apps a business needs in a single platform Easy to administer User friendly screens (mostly) Cons Apps are not as integrated as they could be. I spent a long time when consulting for several companies trying to customise their integrations between Zoho apps (that really should be there out of the box). Zoho Flow (Zoho's answer to Zapier) goes someway to help integrate their apps, but still some apps just cannot be integrated as needed (Bookings and CRM, Bookings and Inventory, for example). Zoho's integrations with 3rd party services and apps sometimes are way better than their own apps. Their all-in-one platform approach often means that the main competitors offer much better features and functionality (e.g. Meetings vs Zoom, Bookings vs Calendly, Campaigns vs Active Campaign). Their strong point is definitely CRM, Books, and Inventory, which are all very strong products. Support is hit and miss. I have had responses within minutes and then other tickets I have had to chase for nearly a week to get a response. Sometimes I had to explain the issue several times before I got more than a canned response.

Operations Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ZOHO One - Is Past Its Prime" January 17, 2025 1.0 Zoho itself is just old and tired. It was OK when I started to use it years ago but it hasn't improved and there are much better alternatives available now. Pros By the time I left there was little left to like. Campaigns had restricted me from sending emails to a lot of my subscribers because they had accounts@ in their email address (I provide credit management services to the accounts teams and most of my clients use this as their email address). Cons The Customer Services Is Poor. The forms had very limited options for editing. The annual subscription model. The lack of access by support people( I had to by another zoho one licence for my accountant to access books FFS) Alternatives considered [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/171840/HubSpot-Marketing/) Reason for choosing Zoho One At the time Zoho had a more comprehensive suite of tools. Turns out they were not all that useful in some cases. Review Source SW Scott W. CEO Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ZOHO have shut our business down" May 3, 2025 1.0 Zoho have shut our business down. We have lost access to our WorkDrive Folder and emails have been blocked and there is ZERO support until Monday. The company has shut our business down for the weekend. I have been trying to solve this for almost 24 hours. emailed numerous times, tried numbers chats and contact centers. All are closed. DO NOT CONSIDER THEIR PRODUCT... They will cripple you. Pros The full suite of products made this seem very attractive. and the product when working is great. But there are constant delays in product improvement releases and terrible support.

IT Manager Outsourcing/Offshoring Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Comprehensive and integrated business platform" December 21, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Zoho One has been very positive. As an IT manager overseeing offshore and US-based teams, I appreciate how Zoho One centralizes our tools, streamlines communication, and boosts productivity. It has been reliable and continues to evolve with new features that support our growing business needs. Pros Zoho One is a comprehensive suite of business applications that integrates CRM, project management, HR, accounting and more into a single platform. Its unified ecosystem simplifies workflows, improves collaboration across departments, and provides robust customization options. The pricing is attractive compared to purchasing separate tools, and the platform scales easily with remote and on-site teams. Cons The breadth of features and applications can be overwhelming for new users, making the onboarding and configuration process time-consuming. Some advanced features require additional setup or technical expertise, and occasional inconsistencies across apps can lead to a learning curve. Review Source KO Keith O. Project Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Save yourself a headache" October 28, 2025 1.0 I hate using Zoho. I am currently looking for an alternative. They release updates with pointless features that no one needs, and then do nothing on the things their customers tell them in forums Pros Multiple Apps supposed to be synced with each other. Currently not too overpriced for similar software. Cons Nothing syncs properly. Simple features are not available such as assigning a project to a particular customer on project setup, or simply linking materials and their cost to a project. Support is terrible and the whole thing is not at all intuitive.

Business Software Specialist Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Zoho - Life Made Simpler" December 23, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with Zoho One has been positive. I like having all business tools in one integrated platform, which saves time and cost. However, some apps feel less polished and take time to configure. For example, CRM integrates well with invoicing, but setup requires effort. Pros I like Zoho One because it brings almost everything a business needs into one place. Instead of switching between multiple tools, I can manage CRM, finance, HR, and collaboration from a single platform, which saves time, reduces costs, and keeps data consistent across the organization. Cons The biggest downside is that with so many apps included, some feel basic or outdated compared to best-in-class alternatives. It can take time to configure and learn the quirks of each tool, and not every app feels as polished or intuitive as dedicated standalone software. Review Source RV Rahul V. IT and Cybersecurity Coordinator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unified operations with an integrated approach using zoho one." June 26, 2025 4.0 It allowed our small IT team to perform many functions without cycling through 5 different logins or vendors. Great value for what we pay. Pros It allowed us to access, with one login, everything under the sun: CRM, support, invoicing, even HR tools. The fact that every module communicates to every other module meant we could deal with vendors and assets in a much easier way. Cons Some modules seem not as mature as others and keeping data in sync between apps sometimes requires manual cleanup. Review Source RV Rene V. CA Retail Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Just love Zoho" February 12, 2025 5.0 Pros So easy to use and looks so professional Cons It's almost perfect. I definitely recommend it to everyone Review Source Alec Anton S. Lawyer Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A really unique offering of middle-tier applications and services." March 20, 2022 5.0 Zoho One offers an incredible range of mid-tier business applications and hosting. I selected Zoho at the beginning of setting up my firm because I had previously used some of Zoho's applications and could see a big advantage (both financial and technical) in using the Zoho ecosystem. I use Zoho Sites for my website, Zoho Forms for online forms, Zoho Meeting for all video conferences, Zoho Booking for schedules, Zoho Mail for email hosting, Zoho Writer for all document processing, Zoho Sales IQ for marketing and social media management, Zoho Notebook for legal research, Zoho Drive for cloud storage. I don't use Zoho CRM or Zoho Projects, but that's only because my industry (lawyer) really does demand a specialist practice management application for clients and tasks. The CRM and Projects are excellent and would be great for other business industries. I see Zoho One really only being useful for new businesses or during a major restructure or rebranding. To get the most out of it, you need to really design an ecosystem and utilise Zoho apps wherever possible. This can be frustrating as some may not work as well as their alternatives, but this is the compromise you have to make for such a good price. I really do recommend Zoho for any new business - the apps may seem a little strange at first, but you can literally run your entire business on this one service and that could potentially save a considerable amount of time and money. Pros I like the fact that so many options are included in the one monthly price Cons Client services takes a few days at the minimum for routine inquiries.

Owner E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Zoho One - the Leatherman for entrepreneurs " January 5, 2024 5.0 I don´t want to miss it. I use it every day: CRM, SalesIQ, campaigns are my main apps. Books and work drive the next. You don´t have to think about: ahh...I need this app/function, where can I get it? Because you already HAVE it in Zoho One. Pros Everything (and I mean: everything!) you can imagine that you need for your business is integrated into ZOHO One. For every use case there is an app. Cons First: the greatest pro is the biggest con. In the beginning you don´t know where to start because there are some many possibilities. You have to get a structured plan for yourself. Otherwise you will resign. Second: It´s not "the" ZOHO One App. There are about 50 apps you can use. You have to learn what apps are useful and what apps can be connected. Start with CRM as center of ZOHO one. Review Source JT Jordan T. COO Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not for Most Users" June 30, 2022 3.0 First off, let me see that I am a huge Zoho evangelist. I am a Zoho User Group Leader, I have two companies on Zoho One and have been a user for almost 5 years now. That said, I would caution most users from using Zoho for many of the same reasons that many other people here have noted, namely weak or non-existent customer service, increasing prices with a reduction of functionality, and buggy/flawed designs on new applications and enhancements to existing applications. Just look at the fact that they went from 1 TB/user on Zoho Mail to 50 GB/user to get an idea of how drastic their cuts have been. I am sad to say that I would not recommend Zoho to anyone without the stomach to deal with their terrible service and without an internal team member that can develop around their design flaws. Pros I love that Zoho is constantly evolving and adding new functionality to its software. Cons The customer support is horrible. Most people you speak with have no experience with the software and cannot answer the most basic questions. Sometimes they even make up answers to get off the phone. It is actually absurd how bad the service is. Review Source PP Pam P. President Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "40 products in one!" December 9, 2020 5.0 I was impressed. It was very easy to setup compared to the competitors, had excellent training videos and manuals, plus excellent customer support (but only 5 days a week 24 hours a day, not 7 days). I would call the software second best in almost all categories, but when you add in how they all integrate together, this is awesome software. I think the software it best compares to is SalesForce, which I haven't ever used due to the price. Pros It seems they have everything in one, and all integrated. When I was looking for each piece, their name kept popping up as in the top choices for each product... especially social media. Cons Reporting for accounting was not up to what I am used to. They have a lot of reports, but they aren't very customizable. You basically get what they provide, which is still a lot! I also kept running into a few bugs. And many people have feature suggestions. So it seems like their low price is reflective of this. Reason for choosing Zoho One The integration and the fact that they are around second best for each of their products, which is pretty good! Plus that they have 40 products that all work together. And the excellent customer support. I am still going to keep ActiveCampaign, which can't be beat for email marketing features, but will integrate the two together. I also like how full-featured the products are... they can grow with my business, yet start out at a price that I can afford. Zoho One is a smart move. Review Source Daniel N. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A bargain based on all the tools you get" September 29, 2020 5.0 I use Zoho One and the tools to keep track of spent time on various projects, save all expenses, invoicing, CRM, some custom workflows and much more. I haven't had time to explore all options yet. Ah, Zoho Social is also a tool I use reguarly. Pros With Zoho One you really receives everything to run a company. It's very nice to have everything at the same place. And the integration between the various tools they have are superb. If you're like me, a bit technical, it's really nice that you can customise you company's workflow (Zoho Flow) and even develop internal applications easily (Zoho Creator). Cons It can be a bit overwelming with att tools and options in the beginning. Review Source RM Radwa M.

CRM is great tool to mange sales process with artificial intelligent help and log all of activities and manage pipeline . zoho people mange all hr tasks which make easy to track employee attendance and leaves and so much more. with workdrive it replace google drive Cons All Apps are integrated and they make fast improvement Review Source SS Steve S. President Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "To run a small business you have many tasks from accruing vacation to AR/AP - Zoho One does it all!" January 25, 2023 5.0 Pros Integrated applications - eg CRM to electronic signature, etc. etc. VERY easy to set up flows - if something happens in one module - make an entry into another module.Easily customize to meet your needs - fields, applications, etc. etc.Workflows save time/effort and are very easy to create Cons Hard to come up with a con - I would have said in the Meeting (zoom like) software not having the blurred background was the biggest con - but they recently added that. Reason for choosing Zoho One Capability, scalability, price Review Source Len K. Founder Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not for the Solopreneur" October 8, 2018 4.0 I would say keep it up Zoho. I believe their mission to be a one stop SAAS is perfectly achieveable and the world would be a bleaker place without them. As for me, after 1 or 2 months of trying to offload everything onto Zoho One, I end up subscribing only to Zoho Books, which ironically, was the reason why I came across Zoho in the first place. Pros Value, you get a lot for what you pay for. Responsive customer support. You could run a entire business or even a franchise on Zoho One. One stop service, single log ins. If you are less demanding, this suite would suit you. If not, read on...Initially, I paid A35 per month, then it became apparent that I somehow escaped the 5 employee requirement. Cons Zoho One promised integration amongst all their apps and data would flow seamlessly from one app to another. Not true, and it was painful to constantly contact Zoho support regarding setup issues. Eventually, you figure it out. A lot of the apps need polish esp the iOS apps, which couldn't be split screen. I came to this conclusion: I might as well stick to using disparate apps, and run Toby on them for single screen access. Or use Zapier or MS Flow to connect them. Review Source Prakash C.

Pros Zoho one provide many solution at one platform which an business need. I like all platforms like zoho crm, zoho invoice and Bill management, inventory management and many more.

It's ultimate goal is to streamline everything for you so you don't have to use multiple vendors/softwares/subscriptions to perform your daily business tasks. It has so many apps and features, we're still learning and experimenting with it even after over a year of use! Cons The layout, workflow, and wording within some of the apps can be a little confusing because it may not align with the terminology your company understands. Review Source Alec S. Legal Investigator Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best all-in-one tool for SMEs." May 8, 2021 5.0 I have been trying to launch my legal services business since before COVID-19 and I have experimented and used free trials for all of the major service providers including Hubspot, Salesforce, Pipe Drive etc. I keep returning to Zoho One due to the impressive range of applications that whilst may not be the best on the market, offer everything I could need and more. I can run my business according to a simple monthly fee and still offer clients everything from virtual meetings and online bookings to client portals. Pros Comprehensive suite of applications all included for the one monthly fee. Professional and customisable user interface. Cons Moderate learning curve. Settings and administration functions are hidden in various locations. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Translation and Localization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Zoho One - Overpromises and Underdelivers" April 21, 2020 2.0 The big benefit was that we would get an all-in-one solution for our small startup's needs. CRM? Check. Mailing list? Check. The usual office suite? Check. Customer support platform? Check. Accounting? Check. Workflow automation? Check. All the buzzwords and must-have's? Check. All looked good. When it came down to actually using it - not so much. Basic functionality is there. It does work, but it always felt like we had to jump through hoops as we started using it more and more. It took forever to hear back from their support team. They have some products that are not part of One but are very similar. CRM and CRM Plus, I'm looking at you. We finally stopped using them because it was a nightmare to get our processes set up and automated. We would rather spend our time actually building the company than trying to figure out Zoho. Pros Zoho One gives you a lot of features and functionality for the money. Sounds like a great deal for small startups. Cons Software has complex learning curve. Employees hated it. Not intuitive to use. Review Source Agi L.

Pros It covers the most commonly needed things any company can use. Not just CRM, but billing, support tickets, HR and so much more. It's fantastic! Cons They require that you have EVERYONE in your organization buy a license. The trouble with that is, we have people who never need to touch it, and yet we had to buy them a seat.
