Zoho CRM: A sensible alternative to mainstream CRMs

Zoho CRM has sought to change this with our focus on providing great software for great value. Today, over 250,000 customers around the world run their businesses successfully by trusting Zoho CRM.

When it comes to CRMs, the obvious choice could often be a misfit.
Many enterprise-grade sales CRMs may have been practical choices when they hit the market in the early 2000's, but that was a long time ago. Today, most CRM applications have transitioned from sales tools for businesses of all sizes to offering more customized software solutions. During the course of this transition, competitors like Zoho have far superseded the other competitors in the market when it comes to features, functions, and value.
"It’s easy to fall for an elegant sales call or persuasive marketing (on behalf of a CRM provider) only to realize later that you don’t need all the whiz-bang as much as you need a simple, straightforward, easy-to-use software that your sales team will like."
The most trusted CRM software
Ask yourself these questions before you decide on a CRM:
Can this CRM grow with my business?
Today, you might have a sales team of fifty members, but as your business grows, you'll need a business suite that can work in tandem with your CRM for business processes like back office accounting or HR systems. Most CRM applications offer workarounds using integrations, but they come with their own share of troubles. More often, these are inconsistent and lackluster integrations from third-party vendors. These integrations are often not fully developed and pollute your customer data with duplicate entries and inaccurate data.
“Sales and marketing departments lose approximately 550 hours and as much as $32,000 per sales rep from using bad data”
“On average, it costs about $1 to prevent a duplicate, $10 to correct a duplicate, and $100 to store a duplicate if left untreated”
The Zoho advantage
Companies that expand primarily using third-party integrations do not stand up well to single vendor competitors like Zoho who offer standalone, fully-integrated solutions. If your sales team needs something specific, like customer invoice management, signing documents, preparing customer presentations, or video conferencing with customers, Zoho CRM has you covered. Zoho CRM seamlessly integrates with the rest of the Zoho product family—which includes more than forty fully-fledged, enterprise-grade business applications.
Is your CRM for developers or salespeople?
Most CRMs start out as sales tools, but as the needs of customers increase, they have become bloated. Many organizations have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to add customizations that these legacy CRMs often do not provide out of the box. Since most sales and marketing people don’t double as software developers, businesses often face extra spending on consultation just to implement a simple customer relationship system for your organization. In fact, an entire industry of highly paid developers and onboarding consultants have popped up to capitalize on the shortcomings of these mainstream CRMs.
Our research suggests that one reason CRM backfires is that most executives simply don’t understand what they are implementing, let alone how much it costs or how long it will take. Getting CRM right is important and urgent.
No-code, low-code, or pro-code? With Zoho CRM, its your choice.
With Zoho CRM, you can choose from no-code, low-code, or a custom deployment, depending on your needs. You can modify modules, layouts, workflows, and approval processes without writing a single line of code. On the other hand, if you need a full-fledged CRM deployment customized bottom-up for your industry, that's possible too.
Do costs add up over time?
Many businesses discover too late that, in addition to the “sticker price”, they’re forced to pay more to fully reap the benefits of implementing a CRM in their organization. This includes prices for additional data storage, premium customer service plans for phone support or live chat sessions. Many CRMs hide the true cost of the software within complex pricing tables and legalese.
25% of switchers say that their previous CRM was too expensive.
Zoho CRM delivers value
Premium support plans such as phone support and live chat support are available with Zoho CRM and are available on a cost-for-value basis. Something as important as data storage can be as high as $250 per GB per month for enterprise CRMs, while Zoho CRM offers a simple flat-rate of $4 per 4 GB per month.
