Zuora Pros review quotes

Zuora supports multiple pricing models. There are one-time usages, flat fees, per unit, tiered, and consumption-based models.

The tool's most valuable aspect is its evolution. When I first worked on it, it was a simple platform that handled accounts and basic invoicing. Over the years, I've seen many changes that have enabled it to support complex projects. The help desk now provides solutions for these projects, which wasn't initially possible. The most important thing about Zuora is its ability to handle complexity through workflows, essentially automating the invoicing process.

Zuora is an end-to-end solution that handles orders, payments, and licensing. Its robust billing engine manages all billing aspects, including debit memos. Zuora's rate plan charges offer the flexibility needed in the subscription business, allowing for easy product configuration.

What I like best about the tool is it's user-friendly, especially when checking accounts and subscriptions. You can see all the details, like consumer-created subscriptions, invoice details, and the ability to create and remove rate plans.

There are a few areas for improvement. Some APIs aren't working in amendment-based subscriptions.

Unlike Zoho, the main page doesn't contain everything. You have to click a button to reveal multiple options; even within those, there are further layers of options to navigate through.

Very rarely, maybe once every two months, the platform might be slow for a day or two. We usually receive notifications about these issues, which seem to stem from connectivity errors or similar issues.

The data structure within Zuora is a bit rigid. It doesn't support many things, like subqueries or correlation queries and all that.
Daniel Delgado - PeerSpot reviewer

We don't know everything like the development team does. We are focused on operational tasks. I want to extend my knowledge of creating workflows and understand what the development team is doing. With replenishment orders sent after a certain frequency (like every three months), there's a problem if a subscription is canceled with a future date—it cancels on the same date instead.
