What differentiates Zoho Connect from other similar products?

Zoho literally has an app for everything. I love that I don't have to use another app to make up what's missing in Zoho. If I need it, I'm sure Zoho has an app for it. I can literally just use one app for my business and I love that!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I love Zoho chat and Connect.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't have anything I dislike. It can become overwhelming especially if you really don't know what you're doing. They do have videos but I like short videos that are straight to the point.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do the free trail on one product at a time and write down what you like about the product and if it will benefit your business. If you're still not sure, contact a Zoho rep to help you make that decision.

Great Product, Better HomeScreen, Analytics needed

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Zoho Connect from other similar products?

I have only tried Asana, This gives the ability of a Facebook like wall for discussions & file & document management. These are most which I use for a Small to Medium organization.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

That would be the ability to customize stages of Task management under different boards.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The Home screen should have more intuitive widgets showing task rates & graphs of Boards & users instead of the basic Feeds & pending tasks. Especially for Team owners or admins. Also basic analytics available, whereas it can be greatly used as a tool to map performance of Employees.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Definitely go for it if going to use a task management tool to implement across different teams that seamlessly integrates with the whole Zoho package. I upgraded from Asana to this & found it better.

Pros

Respectful
Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity

Cons

Commodity Features
Charges for Enhancements
