### "If you use Zoho and Slack, you should be using Cliq instead."

October 6, 2022

5.0

Pros

There is a super simple onboarding and very clean UI. It is also extremely automation friendly.

Cons

The mobile app does tend to have some bugs and crash fairly frequently. It is much better than other Zoho mobile apps, however.

### "Zoho Cliq"

May 7, 2023

5.0

Zoho Cliq is a user-friendly communication platform

Pros

Zoho Cliq helps you to rewrite the message that you have sent before and you can also send the notification for the edited message, multiple chats can be done easily and also provide a high-quality screen-sharing process.

Cons

It is not easy for beginners they need some time to get familiarized with the application. Only Zoho users can use it for free.

### "Well integrated, versatile and easy to use chat software"

May 7, 2019

5.0

Communicating with Zoho Cliq feels effortless and intuitive. You can chat, make video/phone calls and more.

Pros

As a Zoho One User Zoho Cliq is a no brainer. It integrates incredibly well with the Zoho Suite and it's very easy to create new integrations with Zoho Creator. What I probably like best about Cliq is the 3 column layout that allows me to chat in 3 different chats at once.

Cons

The desktop app for Mac feels a bit like a browser version and has some quirks where you need to reload the app in order for it to work.

Reason for choosing Zoho Cliq

The integration with the whole Zoho suite is flawless and easy making it our prime choice.

### "Slack-like chat, much cheaper and with some useful extra features"

September 26, 2018

5.0

We moved to Cliq from Slack, as it included all the features we needed - but we didn't have to pay for them. The chats are logged in Zoho Connect as well. We use it for project chat, updates etc.

Pros

Integrates fully into the Zoho ecosystem, cheap, allows broadsheet layout, easy to use with external users

Cons

Occasionally buggy although Zoho continue to make improvements. Not as many native integrations available off the shelf and that means having to get developers for web hooks.

### "Excellent communication tool"

May 27, 2022

5.0

Pros

This is a robust communications platform, excellent for remote and hybrid workplaces. The UI is clean but still full of features and integrates very well with other Zoho products. My two favorite features are the custom bots and the multi-conversation panel.

Cons

Audible alerts are annoying and there are not as many ways to personalize the experience as I would expect.

It is a really nice piece of software for internal communications.

I didn't notice any cons with this software.

And we have staff just a touch away. Facilitating communication.

We always need to be in contact with employees. Zoho Cliq simplifies your team's communication with organized conversations, easy to find information

### "Zoho Cliq is a great instant messenger"

May 7, 2018

5.0

I get the benefit of chatting with my coworkers without leaving my applications I use on a daily basis.

Pros

works great on a desktop or laptop, it is built right into the Zoho CRM, so when I have a question for my co-workers I know they see it right away when I send them a message through Cliq

Cons

phone app either I haven't tried it or it sucks really bad. I'm not sure which it is. I hope they make it a little easier soon

### "Obvious Choice for Zoho Users"

October 16, 2019

5.0

We use Zoho Cliq for our team communication. We have one on one chats, and group chats to keep in communication between all of our remote workers. As we don't see each other in person much, having a way to keep a rapport through chat is important to us. In addition we value quick messages to communicate information, or questions.

Pros

The integrated chat options into other zoho software makes this an obvious choice for zoho users. Ability to use emoji, gif, share files make this a versatile chat system for our team. The ability to search the history is helpful as well.

Cons

The mobile app can have a lot of input lag.

### "Powerful, but daunting. "

January 3, 2019

4.0

Overall, It's a welcome upgrade from what we were using previously (Telegram). Our whole team is unified in one place and we're able to collaborate much more quickly.

Pros

As with all products in the Zoho One Suite, my favorite part is how deeply Cliq integrates with the rest of our tools. I get new messages for every new paid invoice, new leads in the CRM, new appointments with customers etc. It's deeply configurable and can do pretty much anything that Slack can do.

Cons

It's tedious to set up. Nothing Zoho makes is EASY out of the box. They take a bit of time to figure out and customize. Cliq is no different. We're still barely scratching the surface on what Cliq is capable of because we haven't invested the resources to figure out all the options!

### "I do not understand the need for this program"

March 30, 2019

3.0

Pros

Overall every Zoho platform we have has made life easier or more efficient. This is a software that does have benefits. It allows us to communicate on an inhouse and professional program. It could be through messages, videos or more. This can make communication easier and more efficient for the office, but it is not perfect.

Cons

This is the most redundant software package I have ever had. Between emails, our office phones and texting I do not understand why we need this software. The only benefit is that it is more professional and exclusively inner office. Yes, I cannot drunk zoho cliq video call my boss, but any professional should be able to do that without this software. I am not impressed and try my best to avoid this software daily.

### "Keeping in Touch with the Important Stuff "

October 7, 2020

5.0

Now that companies have more employees working from home, it is so important to not feel disconnected or on your own. Being able to check in with co workers or clients instantly is so much more productive. I can reach more people with information I need so quickly. This allows me to give the best customer service I can. I can keep the customer at ease knowing that I am not making them wait and they know I am working on getting the answers they need so we can complete what they called for and get on with their day. Ending a call quickly and successfully is what makes for a great customer experience.

Pros

I really like being able to get my question to a client or a co worker quickly is extremely important in my job.

Cons

If there was the ability to have a few canned responses or FAQ to ease the effort of speaking with a client and typing at the same time would be a nice feature.

### "Fairly cheap messaging service"

July 5, 2022

4.0

Pros

It is relatively cheap. It gives the ability to pin chats to have important chats close to the top and easily accessible. It also integrates easily with the Zoho group of applications.

Cons

The sign up process can be a bit lengthy especially for new users. Files can take quite a bit of time to be uploaded and sent.

### "Easy way to chat through your company"

September 27, 2019

4.0

Simple, easy to learn and a great way to communicate with my colleagues.

Pros

If you use the Zoho suite, you should use Cliq. It easy to integrate and the learning curve is fast.

Cons

It work not so good with the GIFs and reaction on comment. However, if you only need to communicate like the old MSN, it does the work.

### "Value of Money with 5 star service"

September 1, 2018

4.0

Pros

There are a lot of application that offers security and accessibility whenever you communicate with business partners, clients., subordinate or teams. But this application defer with the affordable plans they can offer. Specially when you are a newly established group and wanted to start low. This would be exurity, functionality, accessibilty and value of money all wrapped in one.

Cons

The least thing I like is if you are not acclimated with the app you really have to go through the process of learning its in and outs, work arounds and technical issues you may encounter. Which I have not encounter so far!

February 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

I enjoy the convenience of being able to shoot anyone in the company an IM and get real time feedback when it's needed. There is no better feeling than reliability and when I am on the phone with a client and need feedback from a colleague immediately, it's a fantastic and relieving feeling to have everyone I need at the tips of my fingers.

Cons

I don't like how lengthy it can be to set up and getting new users enrolled is a pain.

Cons

Honestly there really is not something that I do not care for, the software is great!
