Leads, Deals, and Everything in Between: Zoho Got

What differentiates Zoho CRM from other similar products?

Zoho CRM has been our go-to for managing client relationships, and I’ve got to say—it just works. It’s simple, clean, and powerful enough to handle all the moving parts we deal with daily. When you’re working in business development, keeping track of leads, calls, and follow-ups is key, and Zoho has really made that easier for us.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We’ve been able to tailor it to fit our needs without any fuss. Need to track the client’s design preferences or project milestones? Easy. Zoho bends to whatever workflow we throw at it. It feels like it was built for us, even though I know it’s used across tons of industries.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Now, the mobile app isn’t perfect. When I’m out meeting clients, the app sometimes feels a bit clunky compared to the desktop version. But, to be fair, it gets the job done, and it’s never been a major roadblock. Just something to improve, maybe

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I’d definitely recommend Zoho to anyone looking for a solid CRM that’s flexible enough to grow with you. It’s more than just lead tracking—it’s a tool that helps you manage the entire client journey from start to finish.
