Overall the experience has been very good for our team, since we are in apparel manufacturing, we have a ton of projects that span 6-12 months and different concurrent projects every month so Zoho keeps us track and schedule our seasonal projects without getting confused.

Pros

It is very easy to use the strong time tracking tools and project task setups

Cons

It does not include templates or anyway to create custom templates and some of the views are a bit odd

In conclusion, Zoho Projects is a superb project management tool that provides a wealth of capabilities, an easy-to-use user interface, and top-notch customer service. Zoho Projects is unquestionably a viable option to take into consideration if you're seeking for a trustworthy and effective project management application.

Pros

Also, a variety of tools are available through Zoho Projects to facilitate team collaboration, such as messaging, document sharing, and time tracking. Teams may collaborate easily using these tools, no matter where they are.The ability of Zoho Projects to interact with other programmes and platforms, including well-known ones like Google Drive, Slack, and Zapier, is yet another outstanding feature. Teams may easily streamline their processes and increase productivity thanks to this.

Cons

Steep learning curve: Despite the software's intuitive and well-organized user interface, it can take some time to become proficient with all of its functions.Limited customizability: Despite the software's multiple customisable views, some users might feel that it is not possible to customise the software as much as they would like.Restricted integrations: Although Zoho Projects provides interfaces with a number of well-known apps, it might not work with all the tools and software your team uses, which can be a downside.

Least intuitive software I've ever worked with

Reviewed on 15/03/2022

Pros

It has about 1000 features, which is cool. Unfortunately, 999 of them are obscure, unnecessary, confusing, and remain unused. So it lacks proficiency in the most basic and most necessary of features.

Cons

Zoho Projects is truly one of the least intuitive, most frustrating softwares I have ever used. It's been nothing but a headache from start to finish with some of the worst UX/UI I've ever seen and it lacks some of the most basic tools a project management software should have. I'm so relieved to be moving on.

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Projects

We wanted more advanced options and better integrations with all aspects of business (finance, CRM, time tracking). In the end, with Zoho, we got none of these.
