Offering an important solution

4.0 7 months ago

Comments: While the UI and the setup were slightly complicated, Zoho Projects helps you track your projects efficiently and in a detailed way. It gets the job done!

Pros:

Small businesses need to keep track of each project individually at a micro level and Zoho projects provides a pocket friendly way to do just that.

Cons:

The UI and set up are too complex, would have been nice to have clear youtube tutorials or an AI that could set up the tasks for you.

Very practical but hugey underrated Project Management system

5.0 last year

Comments: Zoho Projects has been a great addition to our PM efforts company-wide. As an expanding company, it's been wonderful to have a cloud-based and easy to use system where we can manage our tasks and projects. I think it's on par, if not better in most areas compared to other project management tools out there. I wholehartedly recommend it if you're not happy wth your current PM tool

Pros:

1. The UI is very simplistic and easy to navigate even when you have lots of projects and dozens of task under each one. Compared to other PM tools, it's a lot easier to connect the dots with Zoho Porjects.2. It plugs right in if you're on a Zoho environment which is a great side benefit as you don't have to spend time or worry about issues with the integration

Cons:

It's not as well-known as some of the other PM tools like Monday and Asana, so there's fewer support docs and ideas online. We could've benefitted from the ability to exchange ideas with other Projects users.

Alternatives Considered: Jira, Trello and monday.com

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Projects: Pricing was a major consideration for us as most project management tools are very similar to one another. It was also a good plus to have the chance to go with a Zoho tool to better fit our environment.

Zoho Project Extensive Project Development Software

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: Overall, Zoho Projects is a solid project management tool, especially if you're already using other Zoho apps. It's feature-rich, affordable, and versatile enough to manage complex projects while being scalable for smaller teams. With some improvements to user-friendliness and mobile app functionality, it could become even more powerful. However, it provides a great balance of functionality and cost, making it a strong option for growing businesses or teams looking for a comprehensive project management solution.

Pros:

Zoho Projects stands out for its intuitive interface, making project management efficient and straightforward. The Gantt charts, milestones, and task lists allow for easy project tracking, while the customization options give flexibility to align with specific workflows. Integration with other Zoho apps (like Zoho CRM) and third-party tools, such as Google Drive, enhances collaboration and productivity. The real-time collaboration features, including comments, chat, and file sharing, are very useful for team communication.

Cons:

One downside is the learning curve for new users unfamiliar with the Zoho ecosystem. Some of the advanced customization features could be more user-friendly, and occasionally, the software can feel sluggish when dealing with large-scale projects or multiple users accessing simultaneously. Additionally, the mobile app lacks the full functionality of the desktop version, which may hinder on-the-go management.

 Comprehensive features (task management, Gantt charts, time tracking)
