The ability to assign tasks and breakdown a project to its smallest form
Nothing for now, im still learning the ropes on how to use it. however, i hope it has a way to seamlessly integrate/transfer tickets to the corresponding projects
Multitasking is the best benefit so far and allowing my team to get on top of task
The fact that all the information inserted is safe and easily accessible as well as well displayed and organised. Also, Cliq is amazing for direct communication within the team,
I would like the calendar to be more interactive and to be able to access project on my mobile device
In our sector, web development, it is very important to have an overview of the ongoing tasks. Zoho projects allows this and much more. As a project manager, I can quickly assign tasks and monitor its completion.
Zoho projects integrates with my CRM and the work low and task management is great. Notifications can be triggered and the whole team can get together to get the tasks done.
Have not noticed any thing in particular. However task management can have slightly better UI. Again, the current interface is great, and I an satisfied with this
I would work with my team, collaborate, and I am having everything in one place. I could create a uniform process for the projects, and could guide my team, in getting things done quicker than ever.
fill all days data once so its very easy
required reminder for fill timesheet so we will easy to notify
bugs reporting
I like the portal system most. I can easily add my projects separately.
I love to use Zoho project manager. Please add some attractive features...
We are having the list of task and it's very easy to lock your daily hours... Such an amazing platform.
The most helpful thing is to have possibility to treck results, sales progress. There is much options to large selection of filter on system, it is very useful while searching for information and saving time.
Long wait for messages from support. After updating some information on deals information are not always visible at the same time after pushing ,,save''. It takes some minutes.
Time planning and sales quantity tracking. With zoho projects it is even much more better to plan time while completing tasks.
The Enterprise package has a lot of very useful components for planning, executing and reviewing tasks. The project templates and blueprints, together with the customization of tasks and issues layout, offer great levels of automation and really help tailoring the workflow to our company needs. The possibility of importing Microsoft Project and Excel files into new or existing projects (and exporting back) greatly facilitates the coordination with contractors and vendors that use alternative platforms. Overall a very complete and solid package with a lot of potential for any size project.
The graphic interface should offer more customization options or the possibility to be "company-branded", for a more eye-catching look. Other improvements I would suggest: - Adding fixed initial cost + cost variation to tasks: Very useful for tracking project costs that are not based on men/hours but on fixed costs/budget initially approved by the client. - A document manager/browser capable of working with our existing remote server folders and files (thus avoiding duplicated files in the cloud) - Being able to choose "Project Owner" in the Blueprint transition "users" field (so that other Admins or Managers can be filtered out)
I automate a lot of repetitive management tasks, I allow our employees to take initiative by picking up their tasks and I have immediate and detailed information on the project progress - Generally speaking: I save a lot of time and focus on the project quality.
I love the elements they used around the application. The charts are attractive in both colors and visibility then I love the way the Projects sections are done.
Not much on the product, but in some places I think I lost out of where I am (Some places rarely)
Project and Time management issues are resolved on my end after using this
The level of detail that you can attribute to a project is incredible. A great way to keep yourself together when working on many projects. The integrated timesheet is incredibly valuable as well.
I dislike that the log time feature is different on mobile. I'd like the same interface on the iOS app. I would also suggest improving the notifications.
I'm solving keeping track of where my progress is. I have many clients I work for and I can manage my time better by keeping separate projects.
Collaboration is the key with a product of this nature. Issues and tasks can be assigned to the correct people in the organisation and client and management can see progress.
The project management side t is not as good as Microsoft project, although it can import MPP files.
We are using this to implement new software. This allows us to give the client visibility of their project without asking a project manager. To add any issues with user acceptance testng and allow an internal pm to manage these tasks and issues. The benefits mainly are an organised workflow along with comfort due to visibility to our customers.
Task allocation to the team members, project management & daily, weekly, monthly time tracking gives excellent experience to manage projects & resources & enhance & Imrprove productivity.
Sometimes it takes more time in page loading.
- Helpful in Team Iterative task-based completion - Daily productive hours reports Improvement - Flexibility to assign a task, the project to multiple team members - Productivity Improve - Project Tracking - User-friendly, Intuitive, Interactive & reliable compare to other platforms - Many features are there to use & maximize work strength
I love the complexity or tools and features Zoho offers. Having everything you need under one roof is priceless.
Calendar Tasks could se improvement. When I signed up you could just mark tasks as done right away. Now you have to open each task, mark it done and then refresh the window for it to show.
I manage my whole team with spreadsheets. That is the biggest benefit. No need to email data back and forth, simply update the cells in real time :)
Quick to setup and easy to use. Learning curve for team members is minimal as interface is very intuitive.
Integration with Planner or Tasks in Office 365 should be realized more fully.
We needed a team project planning solution that allowed for continual collaboration.
User friendly UI. With different type of way to access the particular things like project or time sheet or bulk expenses loading. Easy data saving and easily accessible over any web browser with any type of internet connection.
It takes little bit time to load initial page afterwards it is smooth.
Transparency and good communication towards the corporate daily ongoing operations.
Zoho's multi-functional platforms allow me to easily transition between projects, calendars, and email. Being In the pr industry there is a lot of coordination between my firm and media outlets, Zoho helps me easily stay on top of a rapidly changing industry.
One thing I don't like is the task updates. I wish the notifications we received had more context, most of the notifications I receive look similar so typically I breeze past them. Some of these updates are minor and don't really impede my work, however, others are not. If Zoho could incorporate a better preview on these updates, I would be ecstatic.
Currently, my firm just wrapped up publicity for a haunted house company. we've had this client for year's however this was our first year with them in three seperate markets(Austin, Houston, San Antonio). I've learned the importance of utilizing Zoho's multi-functioning platform as a one-stop-shop can help projects run far more efficiently.
Total Management is better and reports are better. A lot of slowness points are showing in projects, need to improve those areas and we need more options to add the additional columns in task and bugs areas to understand the clients and some status. Need an option to show the all team members all project times in a single mode for a specific period is better and in case of some reports, it's not showing the custom date selection option. if it is available it is better to select. We need to improve the dashboard performance and need some more options in the dashboard based on user requirements. The user interface needs to improve. In Zoho need an option to interface the Zoho reports and Zoho reports need to call from these Zoho projects for specified users that are also more better options. In Zoho, I am already asked for some points but still, it's not implemented. We need some emergency support from the team. Zoho need an option to manage the team members also under a team lead is a better optiopn.
Need better support option and need client wise selection option in the job-creating area. Bug tracking and management are needed more improvisation, it is difficult to identify an issue that is newly created or already exists or part of any job or not.
Improved project management and project tracking
soho project is very easy to set up and the integration with gmail and other third party application made it easy to keep working as i always had
zero customization of the standard licence
project management in general ....we are a small av consultanting company and share all the details of an installation or share job site problematics was possible thanks to zoho
I like the ability to have my team members to view what I am working on and comment with their views of the project.
I wish this had more developer options like other ZOHO products. I would like the ability to automate a few things. also to be able to create a task list and have users auto-assigned would help a lot.
I used to have a book that I kept all my projects in. now I just use zoho projects to keep track of all of my work. I am able to bring in team members when needed and set priority levels. this has kept me on track with a lot of new projects. also I have been keeping my Deluge solutions in the tasks that I create. so if something goes wrong with them on the program I have a backup.
we feel very use to use Zoho. I worked on some more bug tracker tools like Bugzilla, Trac etc. But we had many restrictions there but Zoho is really good over them. It is very fast and it allows upto 25 MB to be uploaded which is really good.I like its different filter such as User based, assigne based, Bug status based etc.We are allowed to add different bug status that we want which is good.i like its left side pane(Feed,dashboard). Using Feed, i am able to find all activities done by every people. Dashboard shows Top issues fixers, Milestone etc which is interesting.
Only thing I dislike is, when we try to upload images, on clicking image upload button,Sometimes it becomes inactive for few seconds. Then we had to click cancel and upload again.
Zoho is really helpful to me, i am tester . It is very useful for me. It allows to send email notification, so if bug is major, i am ccing everyone. Also, i am able to upload Excel file, so that i can upload bulk of issues in single time
The timer aspect is great for time management and to be able to generate a report of each employees time at the end of the month. To visually see tasks and projects allows our team to see how busy each person is and to co-create and set deadlines is a great function
Sometimes depending on what the task is named Zoho doesn't predict what you are searching although it could close to the exact wording.
Again to visually see projects gives me a guide and allows me to manage my time better.
the track of the information on the jobs, that we can add comments on the jobs and tell if they started or finished
some times my display screen put larges spaces but i only need to refresh my page
more structured in the team, dont lose track of any jobs
I like the way we can cooperate and organize activities between teams in the company and outside the company
I will like a little more integration with dropbox
sampling, projects and complicated customer supports.
Zoho Projects, provides its users with a very easy process to keep each project organized, whether you are uploading documents, uploading comments in a task, have one or multiple people assigned to the project it is fantastic. Customer Support is what I like best. If I am stuck I click chat on the b bottom and I have a technical support rep from ZOHO, right there at my fingertips. No having to call 800 numbers or wait for a response.
Sometimes when you create a task in the Project, and that task is completed, it doesn't always close and re-pops up, which is frustrating.. Sometimes it is very slow, especially using it from a mobile device or at a certain time of day.
In my line of work we have to have time / date stamp notes, so when we create a project, and a task inside that project, we are solving the issue of having to manually enter the time/date stamp. the benefits that we have by using ZOHO, is you can use it from your mobile device, while your out in the field (away from the office), you can use from your cellular or a computer.
Easy to manage all information throughout the project and easily accessible to everyone on the team. Everyone has a great ease of knowing what to do as soon as any job is done, it's all there and online. Crucial tool for managing jobs and people!! I believe this tool is important for any company that works with projects like Pimentel 3D.
Gantt chart could be little more detailed. But I don't think it's bad. I like the tool as a whole and have no intention of looking for another. Zoho Project is the best for us.
Zoho Project helped me manage and track about ten agile projects simultaneously. It takes work from someone who takes part of the time to enter the information in Zoho, but this work has greatly reduced communication problems within the Pimentel 3D organization. Problems that cause the company burden due to communication failures, item that makes projects in any segment more unfeasible, not having the right and functional tool in the communication of projects. I have been using the tool since 2012!
so easy and effective for organize our works and teammate, the daily routine efficient with zoho
just one little problem there is. I need to add more items to custom fields but it let just 100 items add
it organize our daily process
Zoho projects is lifeline of our company, we manage each and every project/tasks/communication/issues on zoho itself. It is very easy to use and provide detail status and reports of each task.
It logs out in 1-2 days, I want to keep it login all the time.
We measure our overall team performance via Zoho itself.
1.This helps me to track issues and coordinate with developement for quick closure of issue 2.One can export issues i excel and thereby it is easy for us circulate offline 3.Graph structure give a complete status of the issue 4.Time is saved
1.Zoho can be enhanced with few features like sending a reminder notification to the resource who is been assigned so that it helps the team to close the issue on time
With the help of zoho , i dont required to intimate the development team or follow up on the issue status . 2.Email communication is reduced
The ease of navigation across the platform with the ease of tracking and creating issues is awesome. It also sends notification regarding the updates regarding the projects you are part of. It helps in efficienty tracking the day to day work with the option of attaching the completed work log there itself.
The product has the potential to further enhance with new and modified features. An option can be given in which the assignee of the issue will only be able to close the bug to the assigned which helps the managers to have control over a task in a better way. The system sometimes hangs and does not respond to immediate changes although its a minor bug.
I am managing a team of people involved with various projects. As a project manager it helps me to keep track of the work done in the project in a clear and efficient way.
Zoho Projects is a simple to use software development software that offers all of the features required for project planning. It is easy to customize, without implementing an unnecessary variability level to complicate the management. It offers a searchable update record which helps us to determine exactly if changes were made and why. Also, we have the opportunity to exchange tasks with other company members and enhance project management's teamwork. But the greatest thing I like about Zoho project is the capacity to switch among Kanban style and list method.
Zoho Projects GUI is staggered, which to be a bit complicated for me. It needs some adaptation in order to make a real quick work process.
Zoho Projects is used by many departments of my company to handle projects and initiatives. It offers an online workplace environment in which we can stay aligned with our objectives. Public transparency studies have been used and general leadership has also been supported with Zoho Projects. My company has already made great technology choices, so I already have a degree of confidence that the work conducted with Zoho is really the best solution to our sector.
