Review Summary
Summarized from 72 verified reviews · Updated September 2026
Zoho CRM is widely praised for its ease of use, affordability, and strong integration capabilities, particularly with other Zoho products and third-party tools. Users appreciate its flexibility, responsive interface, and suitability for small businesses and startups on tight budgets. However, recurring concerns include difficult initial setup despite the platform's overall simplicity, inconsistent user interface design, limited customization options in some areas, occasional performance slowness, gaps in advanced features compared to competitors, and mixed experiences with customer support responsiveness. The mobile app has been noted as needing improvement for full functionality parity with the web version.

If you're looking for a leading CRM that offers an unrivalled combination of benefits, look no further than Zoho. It's up there with the best for capability, features and functions, is incredibly affordable due to pure cloud infrastructure with low cost of ownership, and highly competitive licence subscription costs.

“Great product, App need some development”

Overall rating4.0
Overall, Zoho CRM is a great product for the value. It is scalable and allow a small business to use a CRM without any major investment.
It integrates quite well with the other Zoho products.

Only thing, the phone/tablet app does not allow to see the emails attached to the CRM.

I would recommend it definitively to all small business that want an integrated scalable solution.
