SigfridCecillon - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable and offers helpful technical support but is expensive
The implementation process was very easy since it's a cloud solution. It's already installed by the provider. We just have to populate the data into the product, and that process is not very complex. That said, we have noticed it is missing some data regarding, for example, currency, and a few other things. The deployment itself took one month or so. I did it mostly alone and with the help of my engineer. I did about ten days of work, and then another ten with the engineer.
Yogesh Kumar Mali - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable solution that allows customization and data sharing
We can customize the solution the way we want to. We built a ChatGPT extension. It has some capabilities of building its own widgets with respect to CRM. We can integrate it with any web application. We also created SalesInbox, which is a mailing feature. We can set up our mailbox with Zoho CRM. We get updates from Zoho CRM whenever we send out an email. It tells us whether the person viewed the email or clicked on any links. One of the best features of the solution is data sharing. We can create our own rules even if we have configured the standard rules. We can have a different rule setup where we can assign rules based on value and give data-sharing permissions.

I'm trying to integrate Zoho CRM with Zoho Flow for quotation submission workflow."
