Excellent tool for task management

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: My overall experience is great with Zoho projects, it works fine if given the right technology support. In past three years we have done multiple updates and customization on Zoho projects and they have worked well for us. I personally would recommend Zoho projects to others to built a very good project management tracking system.

Pros:

Zoho projects has been part of our organization from past 3 years. It is a very useful tool for project management. It has high importance in task management especially in tracking down deliverable in kanban projects. The user interface is very friendly and the dashboard is highly interactive. Milestones can be easily set and can be tracked throughout its completing period. Project lags, time delays, and bottlenecks can be identified easily in the system. This tool also helps to manage teams and individual tasks assigned to each person. Notifications can be enabled to track individual performances. Overall, this tool is multi-purpose tool that can perform wide range of tasks.

Cons:

Zoho projects are hard to customize. Its scalability is very limited to certain tasks. It is good in project management, but it fails to provide a communication channel between people. Chat windows lag a lot between communication and real time forums take lot of time to update. Zoho requires high internet bandwidth, slow internet creates problem with updates and Zoho starts lagging. Multi user portal has also lot of issues. Even multi user portal is a common feature. The feature creates issues with file sharing. It takes lot of time for file transfers.

Superb Business Project Management Software

4.0 last month New

Comments: A project can be assigned to an individual with the help of a group chat, a deadline, and a list of what needs to be done and how long they have to do it.

Pros:

There are a variety of options for visualizing any given project, and it's all quite straightforward and user-friendly. It's also an effective means of communication and cooperation inside the group. Simply put, it allows us to monitor the latest advances in our field.

Cons:

When compared to rivals, I think the Zoho team may benefit from a more updated look and feel. The result could be an even greater edge for Zoho in the marketplace.

Do not get Zoho Projects!

1.0 5 years ago

Comments: Terrible.

Pros:

There is very little, if anything about this product that is likable. I guess, if pushed, I would say the calendar feature and the forum features are interesting but by no means makes up for the lack of features overall of Zoho Project. We are a small to medium business that recently, and regrettably, transitioned from Harvest to Zoho. There is quite a gap in pricing between the two platforms but you get what you pay for, mainly how many users you have. Zoho Project feels more like a bata test platform, then an actual product that should be live and used by any business. If you are doing very basic project management, like planning a wedding or a home renovation this tool would be good for you. But why would you pay for it when you can get any template on-line for free. The only other "pros" I could manage to list is their support. They have a help representative chat feature which is good and they are responsive. Unfortunately for them and mean most of it was used to inform me that "that feature is currently not available". Overall go with Harvest!

Cons:

Does not integrate with Quickbooks. Can not add basic client contact information. Can't view all invoices that are due or in draft form (they force you to use another one of their clunky platforms). The Zoho Dashboard is terribly unhelpful and uninformative. You can not run basic reports like; time reports for team members across projects, expenses, invoiced projects, etc. You can't even simply alphabetize Client Users, so as you add clients they are sorted by when you entered them, only. You can only export information in one format and the reports provide very little (helpful) information; for example if you want to export your Clients. The report that is generated only provides the internal Client ID#, Name, User Name, Email Address, Role, Invoice. It does not provide State/End Dates, what Projects are associated with Clients, any Budget information, and so on, and so on. Invoice, Expense, and Time information are shown and available only through each individual Project. You can not see all invoices due, total amounts out standing, or time sheets across Projects and Clients. You are forced to click into each individual project to access that information and once again, the reports you are able to generate are very limited. I could go on about all the "cons" associated with Zoho Project but I don't have time.

Zoho Projects: A Powerful Project Management Tool

5.0 2 months ago

Comments: Overall, I have had a positive experience with Zoho Projects. It is a powerful tool that has all the features I need to manage my projects. The user interface is easy to use, and the reporting and analytics features are excellent.

Pros:

Zoho Projects has a great user interface that is easy to use and navigate. It has all the features I need to manage my projects and tasks, and I can keep track of the progress of the project. The reporting and analytics features are great, and I can easily access the information I need.

Cons:

Zoho Projects can be slow at times and the customer support could be improved. The dashboard could also be more customizable, as it can be difficult to find the information I need.

The top project management application based on the cloud

5.0 3 weeks ago New

Pros:

ZohoProjects provides a comprehensive solution for our project management requirements, offering numerous advanced features to tackle end-to-end challenges. It serves as a centralized platform for tracking all aspects of project management. One of the standout features of ZohoProjects is it's effortless tracking of work progress, remaining hours for tasks, and weekly working hours. The real power of ZohoProjects, however, is unlocked when integrated with other Zoho products. For example, by combining timesheets with Zoho Invoice, we can easily bill consultants. The potential applications are limitless.

Cons:

This product is not disliked, however, due to its extensive features, there is a considerable learning curve involved. Additionally, while Zoho projects offer mobile apps, the quality of these apps is poor. The product's task search capability is also notably weak and requires improvement in their search algorithm to enhance its overall quality.
