5/5

I feel there is nothing for me to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zoho Connect:

If you need an Internal Facebook without leaving your work environment, then go for Zoho Connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We always wanted a platform where we could socialise within our organisation. A platform where we recommend or suggest things informally. That's where Zoho Connect comes.

Zoho Connect is a Facebook within your work environment. While watching facebook, you cannot manage to note the tasks you have for the day. But in Zoho connect its just one click away. Not only Tasks, but we also have access to company files, Custom Apps, Events, Forms, Feeds and so on... all these features at one place that's the beauty of Zoho Connect. Having said about all the features of Zoho Connect, you never feel it complicated to use. It's more of a user-friendly environment. They also have a clear guide if you still wish some you to guide you through.

Once you start using it, you feel the real difference. Zoho Connect is much better compared to any other Team Collaboration Applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One Platform to Communicate with Team"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Connect?

We use many communication channels like mails, chats, meetings, updates, reminders to communicate with team where as Connect solves all these things at one platform which also acts like a pseudo social media like facebook or twitter to share the things where people can like or comment on it immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Connect?

There are many features available in web app where as in mobile app many things got restricted and they are still developing for the mobile user. Being into the digital world it would be better to make the mobile app more user friendly with all the features so that people can easily use mobile apps than web apps Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zoho Connect:

I recommend this to all the startups and upcoming non-profitable organizations, especially the teams who work from different locations and connect virtually to bring them the synergy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Work Updates where i no need to send daily mails to my team. Meeting invites with reminders. Surveys I can do and group chats helping us to reduce the timing to swift to other app for another features. App is reducing my time efforts and making me to smoothen my workflow without any distractions or diversions. Since social media leading the world, most of the employees like the similar platforms in the office culture as well so the platforms like connect will solve their issues which is kind of a psychological motivation for them to keep on posting work updates as a status.

"Great Collaborative Software!"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Connect?

I really enjoyed the layout and the ease of access along with efficiency. It was easy to move around and quickly pick up how to sue it. I also enjoyed the ability to match calendars and create events, which I haven't been able to find in other applications like this one. I even loved the custom app options. This could really help employees and maybe even clients, patients, or partners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Connect?

I didn't like that how much I was bombarded with group conversations and couldn't find a way to hide notifications so I wasn't interrupted. I also was looking for something where I could create polls or other "in-chat" things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zoho Connect:

We'd definitely suggest this for everyone and anyone trying to have a sleek and efficient line of communication that's affordable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are trying to find a platform and/or app that we can all communicate between internal sue and external use. We also were looking for something cheap and simple that also didn't give us too many notifications and extra things we wouldn't need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is a fantastic service"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Connect?

The connectivity and ease of navigation is wonderful. It has cut the amount of work time in half! Being able to work across many distances with colleagues working offsite has been more beneficial to our work flow than anything else we've used. Seriously, Microsoft, Dropbox, Zimbra, and even Google apps like messenger and Google Drive have all fallen short of the ability to work so well as connect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Connect?

There are some redundancies that need to be managed it's a very minor concern. I've sent messages to the dev team regarding them. For instance, there are some redundancies that need to be managed it's a very minor concern. I've sent messages to the dev team regarding them. See? There's one. I'm just checking to see if anyone is actually reading these thoroughly. Cheers if you have gotten this far! Well, just to stay on point, there was some initial hiccups during the transition process for everyone to get their materials ported over but that was only a matter of temporal investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zoho Connect:

It works really well when a number of your colleagues are working offsite. Being able to communicate across time and space and international boundaries is essential for maintaining workflow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mainly the streamlining of contact lists from various sources. Being able to cross-connect has saved a lot of time while running reports and sharing things like power point presentations, work in progress marketing materials like videos, graphic design documents and fliers as well as content intended for use on our website.

"Bigger than what you can see from outside. Zoho is spreading Love !"

5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Connect?

I think that the word I would use is "Flexibility". Then there's so much features that you can run with that web app without touching the advanced features...

Great UI but because of the tremendous amount of features you will need some time to handle it with ease unless you're an IT guy...or girl. It's not difficult but you need to learn it.

But to be more precise about the question, what I like the best about Zoho Connect are (not in order):

- RSS feed to the groups (wow)

- Forums

- Manuels (live and web books)

- App Builder (you read correct)

- Groups (private, public...)

and I did not even scratch the surface of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Connect?

It's free with bunch of great features ! :-D

Oh ! Yes, I remember I have something temporary : The mobile version does not honour the web app. But they currently working on a new one to be release in few weeks... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zoho Connect:

3 words :

Go for it !

You will need some time to implement it if you not used to that kind of app. But It's powerful and full of features to improve collaboration and communication in a Business Company or in a Non-Profit Organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm currently building my third Zoho Connect network with/and for collaborators to improve our communication. We are dealing with WhatsApp (Facebook property), so we are dealing with poor confidentiality and mastering of our data. I hope the guys will adopt Connect with joy !

The second one was also for improving what I will call communication memory, simply put: what is written remains.

The first one was just for me for discovering purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A cool forum to collaborate, post notices, ask questions"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Zoho Connect?

Ability to customize text, post GIFs, reply on a specific comment. It has improved greatly over the past 6 months Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Connect?

Can't link it to Zoho CRM, so you have to open it separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

When we post questions on Connect, it's beneficial that everyone sees them and sees the answer as opposed to someone asking that question via email. It's solving the problem of how we can build our institutional knowledge when everyone has the opportunity to answer the question as well - we can get different perspectives from different business units.
