For teams seeking control without enterprise bloat, Zoho CRM is incredibly flexible and affordable. The Zoho ecosystem's integrations are seamless, and the customization options (fields, workflows, automations) are extensive. It's excellent for tracking pipelines, activities, and follow-ups in one location for recruiting or sales operations. When properly set up, reporting is reliable.

The initial setup was confusing and took me almost a week to figure out. The interface has so many options that i kept getting lost trying to find basic features like how to create custom fields or set up automation rules.
Advanced configurations need admin help or technical knowledge. i wanted to customize my pipeline stages and create specific workflows but couldnt figure it out on my own. Had to watch like 15 youtube videos just to understand the basics.
The UI isnt very intuitive. Features are buried in different menus and it takes time to learn where everything is. First few weeks i was constantly clicking around trying to find the reporting section or email templates.
Some features feel over engineered for simple TA needs. Theres so many modules and options that i only use maybe 30% of whats available. For basic candidate tracking the extra complexity makes it harder to navigate.
The mobile app feels clunky compared to desktop. When im at a career fair and want to add candidates quickly, its not the smoothest experience.
That said, once you get past the learning curve and everything is set up properly, these issues fade into the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
