Zoho Projects is a project management software with a user-friendly interface, customisable project templates and workflows, collaboration tools, built-in time tracking, and reporting and analytics features. While it has limited integrations and a learning curve, it can still be a valuable tool for teams looking to collaborate and streamline their project management processes. In our span of usage of 1 year, it has performed well for us.
Zoho Projects offers all tools required for project management, but this tool has certain limitations too. It provides limited integration options to other software, and also the mobile app features are limited.
Zoho Projects is best at managing all the projects running in our organisation smoothly and seamlessly. We can easily track the workflows in the project and manage the users and their access, assign them new work and follow the work progress. Tracking the time consumption in workflows also helps improve the team's efficiency.
I liked how visually appealing and colorful the platform is. It's nice to have everything in one spot and can visualize the progress on projects. Comparable to Basecamp
The only downside of using this system is that the visualization tools can get confusing in my head. Sometimes the charts and open tasks arent as intuitive as other platforms
Having all your notes and tasks in one central location is very valuable to me. I like being able to visualize my day and tasks that are on the horizon.
Easy configuration and implementation of tool
Way to complicated to sort and arrange multiple tasks based on priority
For project-related insights and time frame for each related task can be viewed
Roles & Permission on hierarchy level is quite good and User Interface is very simple to use.
On mobile app need more filters like project span.
We are using to track project timeline in our organization really helpful.
The user interface is quite simple as compare to jira and zoho projects does have the all the reports be it burndown chart or sprint velocity report.
I dont feel any downside apart from the pricing plan they offer.
The main problem in our company is to manage team projects and there we got rescued by zoho projects. Now we are good to go with bugs tracking, release deployment om time.
The calendar is intuitive, and customization is excellent in Zoho. The collaboration features are good. It also supports multi-project management, hence is cheaper for smaller teams.
The UX is not an area of strength for Zoho, but it's one of their worst Zoho projects. The sign of a good Project management tool is intuitiveness, but Zoho Projects is not intuitive at all. Especially after using Trello or Jira, you won't go back.
At ForeignAdmits I used it for Task management, Tracking and reporting across non-tech teams. It did benefit with no limit on the number or projects to collaborate across many teams.
Zoho projects is very much user friendly and used in mobile
Not that great UI, needs improvement in user interface
Zoho Projects helps in organising the work schedules
We can easily manage products, and we can add multiple products, easily sortable.
project arrangement is not properly in my view
Its solve the project information which we have to add here
Integration is best part, we can integrate almost everything together here
Codes, set up and coding in zoho is its own laungage, so need to learn zoho coding for improvement of zoho settings
Drag and drop option on code
Ease of Navigation. Its easy to find the tasks projects as its stacked properly. Reports, Dashboards are customizable. Ability to customize if the main positivity of the app.
Sometime the search doest reflect the information that we need. If theres a dummy keyword (*) that can be used to search a particular tasks where we dont know the full name of the task it would be better
Managing Tasks for CLient under different scopes. Its easy to track and assign tasks to team, which inturn helps productivity and minimise the time take for a task to be completed.
ZohoProject offers more and better features for our project management needs that solves end to end problems. Its like one place to track everything and anything around project management.
Sometimes the milestone tracking configuration gets improper, but that i wont put in 'dislike' list.
The time taken for tracking all aspects of the project is much less with this ZohoProject which makes team collaboration more productive.
there are many options which I like but there one feature which I like the most is, there are two options for logging time you can either start a timer while working or you just log hours as per your gut feeling
Overall its a better software, but the one thing that is a huge TURN OFF is that it takes too much time to load the homepage and sometimes crashes and you have to re-load it again.
I am working as a team member and tasks are assigned to me along with designated hours regarding different projects. I just log my hours and put notes along logged hours.
Zoho Projects are very user friendly its easy to understand. An excellent tool in task management and it provides intuitive design.
Task search capability is very weak they needs to improve their search algorithm to make it a better product.
Because its a cloud based project management software that's why it facilitates the collaboration of daily tasks. Which is really beneficial
The thing which I like about Zoho projects is that it helps me in maintaining my efficiency of completing the task in a given time frame with its time tracking feature. This software is easy to integrate with other Zoho softwares and helps us in tracking the progress and maintaining the productivity of our team.
Well, in my opinion, this software has two things to dislike: First, I found the user interface is a little complex to use. Due to so many features available in a single dashboard, we often miss crucial points attached to the task. It is a bit heavy software which requires a large bandwidth and internet. So if your internet isn't stable, it may sometimes lag and take extra time to load. I generally use Zoho connect whenever this happens to me.
We use Zoho projects daily to keep track of our time spent on our day to day tasks which helps us in analyzing the productivity and efficiency of our team members.
I like their reporting tools, especially Gaint Chart. Real-time alerts when someone changes the status of tasks. And the real power comes when you integrate it with other Zoho products, for instance for billing of consultants, you can integrate timesheet and Zoho Invoice. The possibilities are endless.
No disliking for this product. But since it has so many features hence there is a significant learning curve involved.
I am using it for managing tasks of multiple teams; Development, testing etc.
Zoho Projects has a user friendly and easy to understand interface and a platform with rich features. It also has a mobile app for both iOS and Android. It also doesn’t cost you a lot and is actually quite affordable. It has GHANNT charts and reports function too. It also provides you with an intuitive calendar. It also integrates with Zoho Docs and Zoho Sheet.
Zoho projects have mobile apps too but these apps are of bad quality. And resource management tools that these apps use are a failure. Also, it is not good software to manage multiple tasks at once. When it gets overloaded, it is very difficult to work, so it is not a recommended tool for big teams. The flow chart app is also missing from the project management app.
At the level of project and task management, Zoho Projects helped our organization to solve a lot of problems. We have worked together and designed a number of projects using Zoho Projects. This tool also allows us to manage our schedules, budgets, assignment of tasks to the team members and to achieve our objectives.
Very easy to use, online and all the tools you need for basic Project Management are there.
It bugs sometimes and it is not totally translated to Portuguese (Brazil).
Project management. It helps a lot.
The app is well intergrated with the other Zoho apps.
There is not a flow chart app with the project management app. Sure I can list all my tasks and milestones but Zoho has not provided a feature to have a visual-based flow chart like other PMS available. There should be an option to allow the client to enter secure data like password and other login credentials when need but only accessible to the admin or assigned user. I also do not like that one single client can not be given access to multiple projects in and outside the client company. Overall the product with worth the money and has helped my business stay on task.
I have resolved the time management issue and I am able to see set deadlines and reminders for my workflow and milestones in each project.
I like the customization. You have a lot of options to set rules, email settings and more.
I was not able to set the email notifications exactly the way I want. But very close.
I have been able to share files and progress in a very easy way.
It is the brand new software for projects management. It keeps an eye on the overall progress. It let us analyze projects plus tasks and capturing time sheets so comfortably. Its flexibility for setting up brings much convenience to me. It has made collaboration with multiple teams easier. There are varieties of options for sharing projects with the persons relating to external organizations.
I haven't found any major disadvantage of Zoho Projects. It gives practical solutions to all of our problems. The only least factor in this software is that it does not allow users to add data, widgets, exports sheets in the form of document. Otherwise I just love to use this.
It keeps the balance of collaborative nature of managing projects. It keeps me focused on the particular tasks. I not only like its ease of use but also ease of implementation. Its dragging and dropping features are simplest. It consists of plenty of tutorials to train users about its right use. I remain peaceful after using this marvelous tool as it keeps my whole organization well organized.
