Pros

SM

Sherry M.

Executive Manager

“I especially valued its high level of customization and seamless integration with other Zoho applications, which made it possible to tailor the system to specific business needs.”
RS

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“It allowed me to tailor workflows, fields, and modules to match specific business processes rather than forcing us to adapt to the software.”
RS

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

Cons

“Also keep in mind that Salesforce is putting effort into beefing up Data cloud and marketing cloud advanced and therefore Pardot may not be supported as well in future years.”
SF

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“Marketing attribution logic is confusing.”
SF

Sarah F.

Marketing Technologist

“Byzantine and near to no onboarding - we have had it for 3 months with no clear onboarding process - all we get area bunch of random links from our sales executives and sale support - They do a great with their Sales CRM , but fail miserably with their Pardot/Account Engagement”
AP

Andreas P.

Marketing Director

Cons

“It is a bit difficult while integrating with the previous crm as there are few gaps and not able to capture the few details same as the previous crm”
sc

suba c.

Customer Success Executive

“Certain automation workflows are overly cumbersome to build, particularly when including multiple conditions and actions.”
AD

Alexandre D.

Secretary General

“Heavy customization or integration with other Zoho/third party applications can be difficult and time consuming to implement , making complex workflows difficult to recreate for initial config.”
