Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our organization, we use Zoho Projects to manage all work-related tasks. Tasks are assigned to specific team members and those members are kept accountable to finish a task based on the deadline set. During a weekly meeting, we go through missed and incomplete tasks. We also discuss and create new tasks.

Pros

The calendar view is great for getting an overall glance at which tasks are due and when. We use this all the time
Reminders are sent via email when tasks are due on the day they are due
All tasks in one place
The task creation interface is comprehensive, allowing attachment, lists, and much more

Cons

improved mobile app interface
reporting features could be more robust and useful as we don't even currently use this feature
3rd party intergrations are few and not easy to setup

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have previously used Zoho Projects to set up a plan, assign tasks, and track the implementation of a new accounting system. Our marketing department has also used it to develop our monthly newsletter.

Pros

Time tracking.
Task assignment.
Reminders of upcoming task deadlines.

Cons

Assigning new members to an existing project was rather confusing.

Return on Investment

I don't think that Zoho projects have had either a positive or negative impact on our ROI, as most of the projects we utilized it for fizzled before implementation. With Zoho One, we utilize primarily Zoho CRM and Desk.
