Cetec ERP vs. Zoho One

For our business, Cetec ERP works very well because of all the capabilities it has with traceability, restrictions, and access, and having the data live for any user to see at the same time. The way the system is set up for order processing is more strict which is better for us since it helps with accuracy and traceability. For the production side, since our company is not a manufacturing site, it can be a little overwhelming since there are a lot of fields/data that we do not use, simply because it does not apply to us. Other than that module being a little too advanced for our company, all of the features included "out of the box" are well worth the affordable price that they have for this ERP system.

Zoho One helps me to create and document each of my closures by creating deals. Zoho One helps me to generate reports, which helps me to track my contact. Zoho One helps me on creating tasks and reminds me to get it done on time. Zoho One keeps each steps and actions I took from lead to a deal.

• Role Descriptions: There are default roles that Cetec ERP has already created for you. However, these roles are not detailed as to what access each role has and it makes it difficult to assign these default roles.
• Reporting: While Cetec ERP's default reports are detailed, there is only minimal customization of reports allowed out of the box. They do have an add-on available for purchase where you can freely customize reports, but our company isn't at that point to purchase this add-on as we only need a small bit of customization beyond what comes out of the box.

• In my opinion, SUPPORT IS AWFUL!!!
• If you want to get in touch with a support representative, your best bet is to call the sales number and demand to speak with an agent.
• Each of the tools operates in a silo, from a support perspective. Some applications, like books, have chat-based support and others require an e-mail.
• In my experience, expect any e-mail to the main support e-mail to go unanswered.
• The first year of support was great, but after we renewed for the second year, it has become terrible.

Cetec ERP is useful and fairly intuitive, but if you have a difficult time adapting to a ever-changing user interface, it may cause slight discomfort with every major update.

We've been a long time user and are always tweaking our automation to gain efficiencies while improving our service levels. It's pretty easy to come up with what you want to do and then do it yourself. Though, if you're looking to do some really tricked out automations, use of a Zoho Consultant would be a better idea as you'll get exactly what you need much quicker.

Cetec ERP will answer support calls but depending on your level of service contract, it may cost you quick a bit per hour to solve the issues you have. E-mail support is always available and surprisingly responsive.

Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

We had been a customer of Cetec on their Legacy system for 20+ years and were always satisfied with their product and support.

There is nothing quite close to what Zoho offers with Zoho One in terms of breadth and depth of applications integrated together as a single product. Also, you get to manage a single license and user management on Zoho One, whereas you would need to work with multiple vendors and also simultaneously take care of billing and contract management with all of them. It is much easier with Zoho One

• Accuracy: Now that we can restrict access to approved users, our accuracy of inventory has improved.
• Financial Cleanup: Importing financials that were not yet balanced from previous system caused a ripple and we now have to clean up in this new system.

• It is hassle-free to access, which saves you a lot of time and manual effort to get the data accessible.
• Lead status and follow-ups in one place- what you require is a paradise for the Sales team.
• Reduces the work of HR a lot.
