The
Zoho One is the best bang for your
buck in business software. By far.
We regularly see businesses cut their software costs by ~80%
while adding 40+ new powerful apps.
However, understanding and implementing Zoho One can be
tricky. The app list is as long as a Tolstoy novel (and easily as
tear-jerking — it’s so beautiful!)
We’re here to help.
We’ve been developing on Zoho since 2016 — we were at Zoho
HQ when Zoho announced Zoho One in May 2017. Since that
fateful day, we’ve set up dozens of companies on Zoho One
and have gotten pretty good at teaching companies how to
squeeze the most value from this crazy-good offer.

What is Zoho One?
Buckle up.
Zoho One is 40+ business apps for the breathtakingly low price
of $35/employee/month. You’ll get software for:
•CRM and Email/Marketing Automation
•Bookkeeping and Inventory/ERP
•Dashboarding + Analytics

•30+ more

Explain Zoho One Pricing
No up-sells, just value.
Zoho is breaking all the rules of software — Zoho One doesn’t
have any up-sells.
No “Enterprise Plan” that costs 3x. No itemized “Sales Suite”,
“Marketing Suite” + “Support Suite” to run up the bill.
$35/employee/month(or$30,ifpaidannually).That’sit.
Have150employees?$5250/month.10employees?$350/month.
www.theworkflowacademy.com
What’s the Catch?
One Small Catch (Small!)
This pricing is on a PER EMPLOYEE, not per user basis, and
you’re REQUIRED TO PAY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES.
If you have 10 employees, you have to pay for all 10
employees. If you’d like to pay for individual users, the price
goes up to $90/user/month (or $75, if you pay annually).
Have questions? Reach out, we’re happy to talk through it.
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Why is Zoho One a big deal?
Price Many companies we work with save over 80%
on software costs.
Integration Zoho apps connect well together right
out of the box. No more siloed data!
Power With 20+ years spent creating the suite,
Zoho’s built multimple world-class apps.

App Rating Tiers
A Can go toe-to-toe with
anything on the market,
irrespective of price. B Powerful, but may lack a
couple nice features. Great
for the price.
C
Covers most of the bases,
but a competitor product
may be worth using if you
have highly-specific needs. D
Fun to play around with, lots
of potential, but probably
not worth implementing in
your business.

The hub of the entire Zoho One suite, CRM is a highly-customizable
database for organizing your customer info and automating your
sales, marketing, and operations.
1 Centralize customer data from many platforms
2 Organize and automate sales, marketing, &
operations processes
3 Streamline and simplify employees’ day-to-day
Zoho CRM A
tier
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Competitors
How it stacks up
Zoho CRM is truly world-class. It provides a similar feature set as
Salesforce (at an astronomically lower price point), while its customizability,
integrations, and automation dominate Hubspot, Infusionsoft, and an
endless sea of more basic CRMs.

and seamless integration with CRM.
1 Manage and send to your newsletter list.
2 Trigger email drip campaigns
3 Segment subscribers based off Zoho CRM data
Zoho Campaigns B
tier
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Competitors
How it stacks up
Perfect for Zoho One, not the best on its own. Zoho Campaigns shines with
its easy Zoho CRM integration, and checks most of the boxes you need from
an email marketing platform. It loses points for lacking A) good eCommerce
integrations, B) a few design widgets, and C) the polish of its competitors.

tier

How it stacks up
Lots of potential, too many roadblocks to implementation. Our only

Competitors
How it stacks up
INCREDIBLE CRM connection, lacks some survey-buildingfunctionality.
For 80% of users, Zoho Survey is easily robust enough, AND it integrates so
well with Zoho CRM (better than Zoho Forms, in some cases). However, for
certain power users, the survey functionality leaves much to be desired (with
question/page logic, for instance).

Solid, solid web chat with adequate website visitor tracking. We have

on clean website tracking data, there are likely other, better products.

How it stacks up
Great at building simple brochure sites, struggles with everything else.
The aesthetic is there, but the dearth of features is a killer for most serious
businesses. Other builders have oceans of 3rd-party plugins to extend
website functionality. Zoho Sites has... whatever Zoho gets around to
building.

2 Pushes data from forms into almost every Zoho app
3 Notifications and document merge options

How it stacks up
Lacks visual polish, but super reliable and powerful. We love Zoho Forms
and develop frequently on it. The form builder itself is very intuitive and
powerful (lots of question logic options) and the integrations are endless
(we’re especially enamored with the Zoho CRM and Zoho Sign integrations,
though the latter costs extra $$$).

2 Reply to messages and comments
3 Review the performance of your various channels
B
tier
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Competitors
How it stacks up
Super user-friendly and has most features you’d want. For most
companies that Zoho attracts (i.e. those without massive social media
followings), Zoho Social works perfectly — it’s a much-needed time-saver
for a Marketing Manager wearing many hats. For agencies and those with
large followings, there are more feature-rich schedulers.

1 Create and track projects and tasks
2 Centralize project communication
3 Involve clients + external users in projects
Zoho Projects B
tier
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Competitors
How it stacks up
Chock-full of features, but the UX is just a step behind the competition.
For large construction companies, Zoho Project’s bevy of features are all
useful. However, for many of us, less is more. Zoho Projects can be slimmed
down and works FANTASTICALLY as a basic task/project manager, but I
sometimes wish it was as lightning-fast and easy-to-use as Asana.

Your Executive Team will fall in love, your old school accountant might not.
We personally LOVE Zoho Books. It’s easy-to-use, has POWERFUL

How it stacks up
So so close to A-tier for non-eCommerce, has some major eCommerce
issues. We’ve had smaller companies migrate from Netsuite and sing
Inventory’s praises (no manufacturing, sorry). We’ve had small eCommerce
companies regret switching to Inventory, mostly because the eCommerce
integrations are weak and the shipping label printing sucks pretty bad.

Some may have a bone to pick, but we LOVE Zoho Sign. Here’s our
reasoning — it’s simple and does its job well. No fancy bells and whistles
EXCEPT for all the INCREDIBLY USEFUL contract merging you can do from
Zoho CRM, Zoho Forms, Zoho People, etc. You haven’t lived until you’ve
automated boring paperwork in a beautiful Zoho Sign workflow.

How it stacks up
Well, at least it’s not D tier! Zoho Meeting really is fine. It works well 90% of
the time. For internal meetings/meetings with frequent customers, we’re
totally fine to use it. However, for salespeople, the 10% chance that your
call/webinar will completely crap out is tough. Hell, even Zoho itself uses
GoToWebinar sometimes for high-stakes webinars.

How it stacks up
We wish it were more simple, but once you’ve got it set up, it’s a life-saver.
Zoho People’s glut of features is both a blessing and a curse — without a
guided onboarding, it can take a little while to fully understand. However, the
time spent learning and implementing is well worth it once you’ve
automated all the annoying idiosyncracies of HR.

Some better than others — ultimately not worth the time/hassle of

Honestly, why not use Zapier? We’re really sorry, Zoho Flow team. We love
Zoho. We wear Zoho pajamas to bed at night. But Zoho Flow just needs

Let’s roll through those quick.
It’d be pretty exhausing to go through each and every Zoho
One app.
Instead, we’ve gone through the ones that have mass appeal.
Now, we’ll quickly go through the other Zoho One apps. These
apps appear here because either:
A) They’re only really important to niche customers
B) We don’t have enough experience with them to rate them
And the Other Apps?

Your success with Zoho Creator will be heavily dependent on your
needs and the strength of your developer. If you think you need a
Creator app, please reach out to us — we’ll be happy to either A) match
you with a dev or B) convince you that you don’t need to use Creator.
1 Quickly develop and deploy custom applications
2 Run these apps on desktop, tablet, or mobile
3 Almost limitless integration within Zoho Suite.
Zoho Creator
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Still not stable enough for us to recommend, but give it a shot, it’s
getting close. We’ve started using it ourselves and overall enjoy it after
a rocky beta period. For the money, we still think you’re better off with
Acuity Scheduling or Calendly (especially because Zoho Bookings
doesn’t allow you to ask custom pre-appointment questions).
1 Calendly alternative for booking appointments
2 Integrates with your calendar to show free/busy
3 Only works w/Zoho or Google Calendars
Zoho Bookings

If you’re a small/nimble company with limited needs, why not? Most
of our clients prefer the robust Zoho CRM, but we’ve been hearing
good things about Bigin. If you prefer a highly simplified product with a
cleaner UX (and far less features), give it a shot!O

2 Pipeline focused
3 Contact management

If you’re working on a site that gets enough traffic to warrant a tool
like this, you may be better off looking at HotJar or CrazyEgg. We
haven’t implemented PageSense yet, but we have worked with HotJar
and CrazyEgg.They’re just so cheap, it feels like it’s almost not worth it
to go with a more stable competitor.

2 Gather heatmaps and recordings on your site

Unless you run large, full-day events, Backstage is probably overkill
versus Eventbrite. Eventbrite is simpler and more widely used. With
that said — if you’re doing any sort of large event, Backstage is
FANTASTIC. We love using it as part of Zoholics.
1 Event management platform
2 Create tickets, badges, agendas, and event websites
3 Push data to other parts of the Zoho Suite
Zoho Backstage
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Very handy to have, though it works better on an ad hoc customer
support ticket basis than as routine screen sharing tool. Assist won’t
replace GoToMeeting orTeamViewer — it’s main use is for quickly
establishing contact with customers where you don’t want to go
through the rigamarole of getting on a GoToMeeting/Zoom.
1 Remote support/screen share
2 Login to customer computers to troubleshoot
3 Integrates well w/Zoho Desk
Zoho Assist
www.theworkflowacademy.com
Solid product. However, if you’re paying expensive devs, I’d usually
rather let them use tools they’re used to. Confluence andJIRA are
fairly inexpensive. If your devs have never used tools like that, then
Sprints is great. If they have used a competing product, then give the
devs whatever they want!

If you’re specifically focused on training/education, it’s better than
most webinar software. If you’re focused on marketing, most webinar
platforms are better. ShowTime is great and really user-friendly for
people trying to present a slide deck and interact with the audience. Its
marketing tools lack a little, and it’s redundant with Zoho Meeting.
1 Web-based training tool
2 Facilitate trainings and discussions
3 Replicate the classroom setting online

If you don’t have OnePassword or LastPass or Dashlane, use Zoho
Vault. If you do, they’re usually so cheap that it’s not worth switching.
We really love ZohoVault — it’s a great option for businesses like us that
started growing, needed a shared password solution, and realized that
they were already paying for ZohoVault.
1 Store and manage organization passwords
2 Allow for single-sign on to other apps
3 Give users access to apps without giving the password

If you’re using Zoho Books, this is a no brainer. If you aren’t, it
actually integrates pretty well with other accounting tools, though
there may be another you like more. Expense isn’t really a
game-changer, it’s just a REALLY nice-to-have for SMBs with lots of
receipts and expenses to track.
1 Mobile-first expense tracking and reporting
2 Pushes immediately to Zoho Books
3 Easy-to-use, very straightforward

If you’re processing online transactions, there’s a chance your
website builder will have a better subscription app than Zoho
Subscriptions. If not, Subscriptions is great. It’s especially nice how it
automatically pushes to Zoho Books.
1 Subscriptions made easy
2 Integrates w/many payment processors
3 Pushes immediately to Zoho Books

  • 2. Zoho One is the best bang for your buck in business software. By far. We regularly see businesses cut their software costs by ~80% while adding 40+ new powerful apps. However, understanding and implementing Zoho One can be tricky. The app list is as long as a Tolstoy novel (and easily as tear-jerking — it’s so beautiful!)
  • 3. We’re here to help. We’ve been developing on Zoho since 2016 — we were at Zoho HQ when Zoho announced Zoho One in May 2017. Since that fateful day, we’ve set up dozens of companies on Zoho One and have gotten pretty good at teaching companies how to squeeze the most value from this crazy-good offer. Need help? We give all Zoho questions personal answers. Go to https://www.theworkflowacademy.com/get-help/
  • 4. 1 2 3 4 Productivity & Operations Apps What is Zoho One? Sales & Marketing Apps Other Zoho One Apps
  • 5. What is Zoho One? CHAPTER 1: www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 6. What is Zoho One? Buckle up. Zoho One is 40+ business apps for the breathtakingly low price of $35/employee/month. You’ll get software for: •CRM and Email/Marketing Automation •Bookkeeping and Inventory/ERP •Dashboarding + Analytics •HR + Recruiting •Customer Service •30+ more www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 7. Who Competes w/Zoho? A sample of Zoho competitors: www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 8. Explain Zoho One Pricing No up-sells, just value. Zoho is breaking all the rules of software — Zoho One doesn’t have any up-sells. No “Enterprise Plan” that costs 3x. No itemized “Sales Suite”, “Marketing Suite” + “Support Suite” to run up the bill. $35/employee/month(or$30,ifpaidannually).That’sit. Have150employees?$5250/month.10employees?$350/month. www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 9. What’s the Catch? One Small Catch (Small!) This pricing is on a PER EMPLOYEE, not per user basis, and you’re REQUIRED TO PAY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. If you have 10 employees, you have to pay for all 10 employees. If you’d like to pay for individual users, the price goes up to $90/user/month (or $75, if you pay annually). Have questions? Reach out, we’re happy to talk through it. www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 10. Why is Zoho One a big deal? Price Many companies we work with save over 80% on software costs. Integration Zoho apps connect well together right out of the box. No more siloed data! Power With 20+ years spent creating the suite, Zoho’s built multimple world-class apps. www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 11. What apps are included? We’re glad you asked. The majority of this guide is out thoughts and rating of each Zoho One app. Keep reading for more. www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 12. App Rating Tiers A Can go toe-to-toe with anything on the market, irrespective of price. B Powerful, but may lack a couple nice features. Great for the price. C Covers most of the bases, but a competitor product may be worth using if you have highly-specific needs. D Fun to play around with, lots of potential, but probably not worth implementing in your business. www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 13. Click the icons below to view more information on the apps Atier Btier Ctier Dtier App Rating Tiers Analytics Desk Sign Cliq Connect CRM Campaigns Sites Marketing Hub Meeting Workplace Flow Survey SalesIQ Forms Social Projects Books Inventory People Recruit www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 14. Sales & Marketing Apps CHAPTER 2: www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 16. The hub of the entire Zoho One suite, CRM is a highly-customizable database for organizing your customer info and automating your sales, marketing, and operations. 1 Centralize customer data from many platforms 2 Organize and automate sales, marketing, & operations processes 3 Streamline and simplify employees’ day-to-day Zoho CRM A tier www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 17. Competitors How it stacks up Zoho CRM is truly world-class. It provides a similar feature set as Salesforce (at an astronomically lower price point), while its customizability, integrations, and automation dominate Hubspot, Infusionsoft, and an endless sea of more basic CRMs. A tier Zoho CRM www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 18. What sets it apart? Insanely customizable Fits almost any business model perfectly Enterprise-level automation Granular filtering, powerful actions Integrates with everything Open API, great Zapier link, syncs with all Zoho apps A tier Zoho CRM www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 20. The email marketing sidekick to Zoho CRM, Zoho Campaigns provides a solid email campaign management tool with a powerful and seamless integration with CRM. 1 Manage and send to your newsletter list. 2 Trigger email drip campaigns 3 Segment subscribers based off Zoho CRM data Zoho Campaigns B tier www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 21. Competitors How it stacks up Perfect for Zoho One, not the best on its own. Zoho Campaigns shines with its easy Zoho CRM integration, and checks most of the boxes you need from an email marketing platform. It loses points for lacking A) good eCommerce integrations, B) a few design widgets, and C) the polish of its competitors. B tier Zoho Campaigns www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 33. Competitors How it stacks up INCREDIBLE CRM connection, lacks some survey-buildingfunctionality. For 80% of users, Zoho Survey is easily robust enough, AND it integrates so well with Zoho CRM (better than Zoho Forms, in some cases). However, for certain power users, the survey functionality leaves much to be desired (with question/page logic, for instance). B tier Zoho Survey www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 45. Competitors How it stacks up Lacks visual polish, but super reliable and powerful. We love Zoho Forms and develop frequently on it.

  • 49. Competitors How it stacks up Super user-friendly and has most features you’d want. For most companies that Zoho attracts (i.e. those without massive social media followings), Zoho Social works perfectly — it’s a much-needed time-saver for a Marketing Manager wearing many hats. For agencies and those with large followings, there are more feature-rich schedulers. B tier Zoho Social www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 54. Competitors How it stacks up Chock-full of features, but the UX is just a step behind the competition. For large construction companies, Zoho Project’s bevy of features are all useful. However, for many of us, less is more. Zoho Projects can be slimmed down and works FANTASTICALLY as a basic task/project manager, but I sometimes wish it was as lightning-fast and easy-to-use as Asana.

  • 62. Competitors How it stacks up Your Executive Team will fall in love, your old school accountant might not. We personally LOVE Zoho Books. It’s easy-to-use, has POWERFUL automation, pushes tons of data to Zoho Analytics.

  • 66. Competitors How it stacks up So so close to A-tier for non-eCommerce, has some major eCommerce issues. We’ve had smaller companies migrate from Netsuite and sing Inventory’s praises (no manufacturing, sorry). We’ve had small eCommerce companies regret switching to Inventory, mostly because the eCommerce integrations are weak and the shipping label printing sucks pretty bad.

  • 70. Competitors How it stacks up Some may have a bone to pick, but we LOVE Zoho Sign. Here’s our reasoning — it’s simple and does its job well. No fancy bells and whistles EXCEPT for all the INCREDIBLY USEFUL contract merging you can do from Zoho CRM, Zoho Forms, Zoho People, etc. You haven’t lived until you’ve automated boring paperwork in a beautiful Zoho Sign workflow.

  • 74. Competitors How it stacks up Well, at least it’s not D tier! Zoho Meeting really is fine. It works well 90% of the time. For internal meetings/meetings with frequent customers, we’re totally fine to use it. However, for salespeople, the 10% chance that your call/webinar will completely crap out is tough. Hell, even Zoho itself uses GoToWebinar sometimes for high-stakes webinars. C tier Zoho Meeting www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 77. A very handy HR management platform. Zoho People will allow you to finally organize and automate all of the tricky, boring HR stuff that you never have time to do. 1 Setup automated on-boarding/off-boarding. 2 Vacation + Sick Leave + Attendance Tracking 3 Performance Management Zoho People B tier www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 78. Compare With: How it stacks up We wish it were more simple, but once you’ve got it set up, it’s a life-saver. Zoho People’s glut of features is both a blessing and a curse — without a guided onboarding, it can take a little while to fully understand. However, the time spent learning and implementing is well worth it once you’ve automated all the annoying idiosyncracies of HR. B tier Zoho People www.theworkflowacademy.com

Robust Performance Management Get the jump on providing solid employee feedback Self-Serve Vacation + Sick Leave Finally give convenience and transparency to that process B tier Zoho People www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 81. A recruiting applicant tracking system that works almost the same as Zoho CRM.

  • 82. Compare With: How it stacks up So much better than how you’re currently doing it. There are undoubtedly better enterprise-level solutions — they’re just literally 100x more expensive. For the small/medium business tier, Zoho Recruit is fantastic, allowing you to organize your hiring process, involve multiple stakeholders in candidate assessment, and create a database of previous applicants.

  • 85. Zoho Workplace is a totally feasible alternative to Microsoft Office 365 or Google GSuite. It provides email hosting, cloud storage, calendar, spreadsheets, word processing, and presentations. 1 Email hosting and calendar 2 Powerful cloud-based storage 3 Microsoft Office/Google Docs alternatives Zoho Workplace C tier www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 86. Compare With: How it stacks up Some better than others — ultimately not worth the time/hassle of migrating if you’re already using a competitor. WorkDrive is FANTASTIC, Sheet is slow, Writer is great, Mail is amazing (but IMAP integration is tough, especially at scale), Calendar is ugly, and Show is fine. If you have a flexible, tech-savvy workforce, switch today, the tools honestly are great. C tier Zoho Workplace www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 90. Compare With: How it stacks up Already used to Slack? Probably stick with it. Not using anything? Zoho Cliq is great. We love how well integrated Cliq is with the rest of the Zoho suite — it’s nice to pull notifications off of email and onto Cliq. We also appreciate how easy it is to set up and get used to it. Finally, we love how the Cliq bar shows up in all the other Zoho apps. A tier Zoho Cliq www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 94. Compare With: How it stacks up For companies with 15+ employees, it fills a really important niche. We’ve had lots of clients say “Connect seems dumb, we won’t need that, we have -Slack/Cliq/Email-”, only to fall in love with how it can unite your team. Schedule a company book club, ask employees to weigh in on important company issues, or invite your best customers to internal boards. A tier Zoho Connect www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 98. Compare With: How it stacks up Honestly, why not use Zapier? We’re really sorry, Zoho Flow team. We love Zoho. We wear Zoho pajamas to bed at night. But Zoho Flow just needs more time and TLC. There aren’t many important connections you can do with Flow that you can’t do with Zapier, and Zapier is more reliable and stable. Give Flow a couple years. C tier Zoho Flow www.theworkflowacademy.com

  • 101. Let’s roll through those quick. It’d be pretty exhausing to go through each and every Zoho One app. Instead, we’ve gone through the ones that have mass appeal. Now, we’ll quickly go through the other Zoho One apps. These apps appear here because either: A) They’re only really important to niche customers B) We don’t have enough experience with them to rate them And the Other Apps? www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 102. Your success with Zoho Creator will be heavily dependent on your needs and the strength of your developer. If you think you need a Creator app, please reach out to us — we’ll be happy to either A) match you with a dev or B) convince you that you don’t need to use Creator. 1 Quickly develop and deploy custom applications 2 Run these apps on desktop, tablet, or mobile 3 Almost limitless integration within Zoho Suite. Zoho Creator www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 103. Still not stable enough for us to recommend, but give it a shot, it’s getting close. We’ve started using it ourselves and overall enjoy it after a rocky beta period. For the money, we still think you’re better off with Acuity Scheduling or Calendly (especially because Zoho Bookings doesn’t allow you to ask custom pre-appointment questions). 1 Calendly alternative for booking appointments 2 Integrates with your calendar to show free/busy 3 Only works w/Zoho or Google Calendars Zoho Bookings www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 104. If you’re a small/nimble company with limited needs, why not? Most of our clients prefer the robust Zoho CRM, but we’ve been hearing good things about Bigin. If you prefer a highly simplified product with a cleaner UX (and far less features), give it a shot!O 1 Simple CRM alternative 2 Pipeline focused 3 Contact management Zoho Bigin www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 105. If you’re working on a site that gets enough traffic to warrant a tool like this, you may be better off looking at HotJar or CrazyEgg. We haven’t implemented PageSense yet, but we have worked with HotJar and CrazyEgg.They’re just so cheap, it feels like it’s almost not worth it to go with a more stable competitor. 1 Detailed web visitor tracking 2 Gather heatmaps and recordings on your site 3 Conversion-rate optimization recommendations Zoho PageSense www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 106. Unless you run large, full-day events, Backstage is probably overkill versus Eventbrite. Eventbrite is simpler and more widely used. With that said — if you’re doing any sort of large event, Backstage is FANTASTIC. We love using it as part of Zoholics. 1 Event management platform 2 Create tickets, badges, agendas, and event websites 3 Push data to other parts of the Zoho Suite Zoho Backstage www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 107. Very handy to have, though it works better on an ad hoc customer support ticket basis than as routine screen sharing tool. Assist won’t replace GoToMeeting orTeamViewer — it’s main use is for quickly establishing contact with customers where you don’t want to go through the rigamarole of getting on a GoToMeeting/Zoom. 1 Remote support/screen share 2 Login to customer computers to troubleshoot 3 Integrates well w/Zoho Desk Zoho Assist www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 108. Solid product. However, if you’re paying expensive devs, I’d usually rather let them use tools they’re used to. Confluence andJIRA are fairly inexpensive. If your devs have never used tools like that, then Sprints is great. If they have used a competing product, then give the devs whatever they want! 1 Agile sprint management tool 2 Built for software developers by software developers 3 Integrates w/Zoho Projects Zoho Sprints www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 109. If you’re specifically focused on training/education, it’s better than most webinar software. If you’re focused on marketing, most webinar platforms are better. ShowTime is great and really user-friendly for people trying to present a slide deck and interact with the audience. Its marketing tools lack a little, and it’s redundant with Zoho Meeting. 1 Web-based training tool 2 Facilitate trainings and discussions 3 Replicate the classroom setting online Zoho ShowTime www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 110. If you don’t have OnePassword or LastPass or Dashlane, use Zoho Vault. If you do, they’re usually so cheap that it’s not worth switching. We really love ZohoVault — it’s a great option for businesses like us that started growing, needed a shared password solution, and realized that they were already paying for ZohoVault. 1 Store and manage organization passwords 2 Allow for single-sign on to other apps 3 Give users access to apps without giving the password Zoho Vault www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 111. If you’re using Zoho Books, this is a no brainer. If you aren’t, it actually integrates pretty well with other accounting tools, though there may be another you like more. Expense isn’t really a game-changer, it’s just a REALLY nice-to-have for SMBs with lots of receipts and expenses to track. 1 Mobile-first expense tracking and reporting 2 Pushes immediately to Zoho Books 3 Easy-to-use, very straightforward Zoho Expense www.theworkflowacademy.com
  • 112. If you’re processing online transactions, there’s a chance your website builder will have a better subscription app than Zoho Subscriptions. If not, Subscriptions is great. It’s especially nice how it automatically pushes to Zoho Books. 1 Subscriptions made easy 2 Integrates w/many payment processors 3 Pushes immediately to Zoho Books Zoho Subscriptions www.theworkflowacademy.com
