Zoho Projects is an excellent product for waterfall project management. It provides all of the features and functionality you would expect from an enterprise-level project management solution, along with a complete collaboration suite. Providing the ability to create documents, spread sheets, and presentations with the Zoho Web Apps, along with the ability to upload existing documents to a repository is outstanding. The collaboration features are amazing and include a Calendar, Timesheet, Forums, and the ability to add web pages to your site. The product could meet your Intranet needs or if you chose to integrate it with other Zoho products you could find yourself running your entire business on the Zoho platform.
Zoho Projects does not manage portfolios very well. It lacks the ability to do a pairwise analysis of projects to assist you with the decision-making process. The single sign-on capabilities are excellent, but not very intuitive for end users.
We needed a project management solution. A system of record for tracking business initiatives. Zoho Projects provided that at a very affordable cost to the business. We've benefited from using Zoho Projects because we have greater visibility into the health of our projects.
the best too for planning projects (for non certified project planners or beginners), it allows the division of complex projects in milestones, tasks, and subtasks, and to schedule activities according to deadlines. It is also good for task monitoring and projects discussion the best features : Mobile App, project organization, calendar, email integration
some minor UI bugs on the web app and the mobile app (but can be fixed or patched), there's no possibility or copying repetitive projects with all the content and people managing the projects (could help gain a lot of time especially on complexe long projects with a lot of milestones and tasks).
Projects management and planning, Zoho Projet helps us work together and follow up on project tasks and deadlines. it is also good for planning, tweaking future projects before start
Very versatile and easy to use with lots of ways to view your project
I actually like everything so far. However I don't budget with this productbut if i did that would be a drawback
Implementation of multiple small and medium sized projects.
The freedom to navigate and do easily what you want in different views without clicking additional steps. This interface is very user friendly offering flexible choices so you don't get misled and well managed for optimum performance. Also the minimalist concept of the application which makes it I think one of the best tools in the market. The way this introduces new features is coll too. As another good point of this tool is developing its features so rapidly from time to time.
Some minor UI issues are there in Chrome, which should be fixed. ie when you open the bug view and re-size chrome browser, the view disappears. That's the only thing I encountered so far, nothing to else that I dislike though. Honestly the interface is not very attractive, i would prefer a little bit graphically pleasing display of details as well as adding more customization to the interface.
Time management, Project workflow analysis and mainly bug-fixing. Exposure and communication with all teams to a better understanding of the past,present and future situations of each and every project. The standard in which this interface puts everyone and so all of a team can work together as one in sync to deadlines and as well as understanding each and everyone's skills by looking at the dashboard, task management and bug reporting and resolving tools. It also supports well future planning of upcoming projects too.
Oh - we think Zoho is setting new benchmarks in providing customer service and that too on a great product. This shows that these guys do not slacken. There is super quick phone, email as well as chat support from within the program. And after about 5 interactions, you know that the person providing support knows the product very well. Other than that we like Zoho projects because apart from full featured task management, their time logging features are comprehensive and you can log time in so many convenient ways. Their resource balance scale feature is an absolute delight. We strongly recommend Zoho Projects for anyone who wants to make their life easier. The entries are fast and with very minor lags if at all.
We are tired of reviews which HAVE TO SAY something that is NOT to be liked. We dont agree. So - we are happy with what we have and more than happy to gloss over any minor irritants - though we do not find any so far.
Project Management of Online Marketing Services. These come along with 100's of dependent tasks. It has helped us processize the workflow, cut down on many unwanted conversations and meetings. And it helps us ensure that we complete ALL the tasks planned for a project.
Zoho's freemium model is a boon for startups like ourselves. The fact that it supports project management principles of both waterfall and kanban style, it has given me the flexibility to design my project plans for different teams accordingly. We use it for bug tracking, project milestone management, and task allocation. It's amazing.
It's difficult to get around the notification settings. It sends an email for every new bug, update etc. It could be just me that I haven't been able to find the right settings but the number of notification emails could flood your mailbox sometimes.
We are a SaaS product company ourselves. For us staying on top of our product development and milestones is critical because everything is tied with the product release cycle - new revenue, costs and everything else. Zoho has helped us immensely in that direction and by removing limitation on the number of seats for free package, I am able to get my entire team to report and stay up to date through Zoho projects.
The ease of use and super smart features that make project management very easy
Sometimes the list view goes wonky when a task is updated 100% from the list. Also we need to scroll right to the top to use the filter.
We manage all our projects plus internal compliance on Zoho. It great to ensure that work is tasked and assigned and there is no miscommunication and blame games. It helps create a environment of responsible ownership of work rather than a boss culture, where only the boss knows everything
Zoho project helps our team to keep track of all the projects with its multiple features such as Task management , collaboration, time management, user admin, analytics customization & its is super easy to use and implement on the office works as well the setup part of integration is also very simple and all this features allows us to use this platform as frequently as possible.
Nothing to dislike in this platforms, but based on my previous experince on zoho platforms if there is any issues their customer support is always there to help us
Zoho project helps us in managing the task and project with the team & its allows us to keep tracking the time so that we can deliver our promise before the commitment
What I appreciate most about Zoho Projects is its intuitive interface and extensive range of features. It offers everything from task management to time tracking, making it a comprehensive solution for managing project details. The ability to integrate with other Zoho applications and third-party tools greatly improves workflow efficiency. The collaboration features, such as forums and chat, are excellent for keeping the entire team connected and informed.
While Zoho Projects is highly functional, its broad array of features can be somewhat overwhelming for new users, resulting in a steeper learning curve compared to other project management tools. Customising certain elements, like reports and dashboards, can occasionally be more complicated than desired. The mobile app, although useful, doesn't always deliver the same seamless experience as the web version.
Zoho Projects addresses the challenge of managing multiple aspects of project work in a cohesive manner. Its integrated approach to task management, time tracking, and collaboration solves the problem of disjointed team communication and work management. By centralising project information and communication, it significantly reduces the time spent on coordinating tasks and enables a more efficient workflow. The benefit is a more streamlined project management process, with improved visibility over project progress and resource allocation. This leads to better project outcomes, more effective team collaboration, and a more efficient use of time and resources. It also simplifies the tracking of billable hours and project expenses, making the financial aspects of project management much more manageable.
Easy to use and intuitive user interface makes doing your day-to-day tasks and activities a breeze.
Sometimes it can be a bit slow, but that isn't always the case and is more uncommon than the common state.
Allows the entire organisation access to our corporate data whether in the office, on the road or at home.
- The tool is a user-friendly project management tool which we use for filling timesheets - It works seamlessly with other Zoho products. - I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a affordable project management solution. - Bulk update of timesheets, which many of the other tools lacking - I use it on a weekly basis
- The features other than timesheets are quite hard to learn at the start and has a steep learining curve - It does not give any reminder for filing timesheets
- Quickly update timesheets in a bulk maner
Gantt Charts in Zoho is very helpful for teams to visualize the project timelines and its progress. Zoho Projects have user-friendly interface. It provides a best plan with basic features which is free plan.
Nothing to hate in Zoho everything works perfect. But there should be more variety of project templates to be provided by Zoho. Improvements can be made in Advanced reporting.
Zoho Projects allows us to track progess to the project, bug tracking, timelines due to which we are able to map the issue while project management with the team.
You can integrate with Zoho CRM for seamless interoperability.
Due to the high number of interrelated but critical Zoho modules, it takes a while to fully utilise all the benefits.
Was able to integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM for seamless interoperability with Client files.
Su facilidad de uso y la integracion con otras herramientas de zoho
Que no tenga la opcion para añadir clientes a los proyectos. Se debe usar otras herramientas como zoho crm para hacer esto.
Me ayuda a organizar mis proyectos, a hacer seguimiento de las tareas asignadas y a tener estadisticas de el trabajo de mi equipo
The best thing is it's a well managed project management app which appeals to all size small and growing businesses. It incorporates all kinds of tools including Gantt charts, resource management tools and timesheets as well.
It's as such a complete package at a very reasonable price. But just a little suggestion is that a simpler interface would be better. Otherwise everything else is superb.
Earlier many costly softwares available we used. But still they lacked in one or other features like may be time management or lacking in efficient tools. But Zoho has been a cost effective and most reliable genie in providing everything efficiency and in proper manner.
Zoho Projects gives all the features like ticket management, issue tracking, gantt & reports, milestones and document sharing which are all the features needed for project management.
Zoho Projects is overall excellent; nothing to dislike about it.
Zoho Projects is useful in Project management for tasks management, issue tracking, documents, etc. It is beneficial and reduces the time to track everything on paper.
The project set up and reports.Also the support team is great. They had multiple setups and it is great for admin and managers with the help of Gantt reports. I totally liked it.
Wish it had more time tracking, I was looking for integration with Zoho People but it takes too much time to integrate. Wish it had more integration with other time tracking/monitoring softwares.
It has made my work easier to see my team's progress on each task/project and since it is an Indian company the cost is reasonable and not as expensive as Monday.
Zoho Project is one of the smart tools with which we can easily manage multiple projects. Just like other Zoho projects Zoho CRM is also quite simple & easy to manage. The project updates, tasks, and comments are just one click.
In my opinion, Zoho Project should have some more depth like JIRA. Also, I think Zoho CRM should have a better UI and the dashboard should have some more details.
Zoho Projects helps us in project management overall saving a lot of time wasted in managing multiple Excels and other documents. Also, the communication channel is shrunk and all updates and easily accessed.
the GUI and the functionalities provided in the project management tools are good & user friendly to use it, we could able to learn ourselves the product in effective manner without any assistance, if you could provide adding the more email and sub tasks in free version it would have been better for a small organizations like us.
limitation in adding the emails and handling the sub tasks
tracking of our tasks and small projects has become easier than earlier, I use to maintain in Excel & could not able to handle it centrally, but the Zoho project has solved this heardle
Project Management also task management easy and useful
I didn't like bug tracker and mobile application is not useful
very successful in managing team projects and assigning tasks
