Jacob Shetty - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective project management tool that can be deployed in a very less time-frame
I have been using it for the last eight years overall, the applications, and they've come a long way now. It's really good and intuitive at this stage. However, I still feel that they could do a little bit more in terms of application integrations, like the third-party ones. That could be useful. There are a bunch of its integrations with third parties, but probably a little more would be better. The telephone support provided by the support team should become better. Regarding adding features or functions to Zoho projects, I think I would add more reporting tools to the solution. Some of the default reports in Zoho Projects are obviously useful, but I would like to add some more analytics based on all the activities taking place in Zoho Projects. I would prefer to build my own custom report and all those sorts of things.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations."
"It has a very modern-looking interface."
"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It can be used online or as an application from anywhere."
"There is a huge community to help us with the issues we face while using the product."
"The Trello board is very intuitive and simple to comprehend."
"It integrates so well with other Zoho applications, and that really helps to extend the features of Zoho Projects."
"The solution's most valuable features are automation and integration with different products and third-party applications."
"We can customize the tool."
"We can integrate Zoho Projects with Zoho CRM."
"The product is very easy to understand."
"It's easy for a user with a technical background to set up Zoho Projects on their own."
"Timesheets and the ability to add attachments are very valuable features to us."
"Zoho Projects is very flexible and user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent."
"In the card area, you should not be able to modify so easily what is already written, as this can cause loss of information."
"Unstructured data cannot be directly used; it needs to be structured first."
"Many more categories could be enabled."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."
"I would like to see improvement in onboarding back-office team members."
"It is somewhat challenging to move to the automation part of Trello."
"Zoho Meeting definitely needs an improvement, because the quality is not as good as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which I've used in the past."
"The tool should add live chat, live call, and live meeting features where clients can communicate."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"The solution should improve on integration and customization."
"We'd like to have milestone features."
"If given the opportunity, I would focus on improving automation within Zoho Projects. While attempting to integrate with other platforms, users often encounter errors. The integration capabilities of Zoho Projects could be enhanced. Currently, the integration options are categorized as either easy or customized, with the latter requiring deluge code, which might pose challenges due to its lesser-known usage."
"Its template management feature could be easier to use."
"Zoho Projects' time log addition part can be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
