Zoho One is the only One
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It is the single platform we use to operate our entire business other than the web browser. I've been a long time Zoho user starting with Zoho CRM and then a year or so later, began using Zoho Books, and then Zoho Mail. Once Zoho One was released which is the all inclusive subscription which includes at the time about 40 Zoho modules, I was sold as it was the more economical option and was a full integrated approach to operating our business. Most recently we've incorporated Zoho Payroll which we'd been waiting for and so far, love it.
Pros
- Single Sign on
- Single Subscription payment
- Full Integrated across all modules
- Excellent UI/UX
Cons
- Sometimes updates are released without prior notification
- So feature rich it can be a bit of a learning curve if you don't start with the basics
- Not as well known as the heavily promoted SalesForce or HubSpot
Return on Investment
- An affordable alternative to more expensive options that are not even close to all that Zoho One has included in their subscription.
- I cannot imagine ever going back to using multiple software to run our business.
- Completely eliminates duplicate data entry since Zoho One is full integrated across modules.
- I wish our organization was larger so we could use some of the other totally tricked out features like Zoho People.

Getting in to Zoho One
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We only use Zoho One for Zoho Sites - the sebsite builder. And for now, only the static website (not eCommerce). The reason is that whilst it is not the most sophisticated of site builders it is relatively easy to learn and use and is price-competitive. It has forms for surveys, log-on security if required and integrates with social media well. We recently added Zoho Desk and so soon will start to use the Groups and user management features. Together, we plan to use all htree tools to manage websites and help desks, along with Knowledgebase capabilities. Hence, this is an evolving experience with Zoho One.
Pros
- Integration with Microsoft 365 apps
- Social media integration
- Collaboration between the apps we use (Desk and Sites)
Cons
- In my experience, the website builder confuses the concepts of columns and rows with layout options difficult to change once a template is chosen.
- International - we made the mistake of setting up our Desk in Australia where SSL and modern OAuth with mail integration is not possible. We needed to migrate to a US subscription to get these features. Why?
- In my opinion, Forms are still a little bit tacky - in structure and reporting. We usually go back to M365.
Return on Investment
- Most Zoho One apps are well priced so it is cost-effective
- Help and support is provided very rapidly. This enhances the useability of each of the products. Sales reps keep on our backs constantly.
- The ability to add contributing editors to app is great. This helps control overall subscription costs.

Zoho One is a great suite of products!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Zoho One as our main CRM. It helps us keep track of all of our customers, we do billing inside of it, we do a lot of other tools like reporting, analytics, desk, etc. We use a hoe for almost every single function of the company and everything that relates to customer information. We also use it for sales tracking.
Pros
- Zoho One has access to so many tools and makes it extremely convenient!
- The tools worked together really well, like Desk communicating to the CRM, etc.
- Zoho One is super affordable!
Cons
- I would say that sometimes the different pieces feel separate from each other, even though they’re supposed to be connected. They do communicate well, but they also have a lot of weird issues too.
- Zoha one offers a ton of different tools, but not all of those tools are flushed out super well. I’d like to see them make each other their tools better.
Return on Investment
- We used to operate on a nationwide scale using spreadsheets, and Zoho One has lettuce to put all of our contact with the one place where we can communicate across the nation and eliminate a lot more communication issues.
- Were able to standard processes and create lots of automations to increase support and ease of work

We integrated Zoho One with outlook and it keeps account of our email communication and linked directly with each leads.
