Zoho CRM: who it fits and who it does not

Good for
  • Small businesses and small-to-mid-sized sales teams
  • Companies already using the Zoho suite
  • Teams valuing sales forecasting and pipeline management
Not for
  • Organizations wanting AI (Zia) without higher-tier pricing
  • Teams needing consistent customer support
  • Users who need more than basic features on the free plan
The catch
Feature-rich and affordable, but AI is limited to costlier tiers, reporting is cumbersome and support quality is inconsistent.
