Pipedrive was created by salespeople, so we understand how frustrating it is when a CRM is hard to navigate. Our intuitive, simple and visually compelling interface makes it easy to set-up and use. Zoho CRM has a complex implementation process which requires lots of customization before you can get selling.
Many businesses have a need for different pipelines across product lines, teams and departments that are fully customizable. Pipedrive offers an unlimited amount of visual, intuitive sales pipelines across all plans. Zoho CRM offers custom deal tracking on higher plans, but charges extra for each new pipeline.
Having a competent, reliable support team that you can depend on at any hour is a game-changer. Zoho CRM offers 24-hour support but not on weekends, and that comes at an additional cost via their premium support plan. At Pipedrive, we’re here for you at any time, regardless of the plan you’re on.
Create custom CRM fields for reports and decisions as unique as your business. Filter, group and oversee results, revealing winning patterns and bottlenecks for your team to overcome. Deal reports show how many opportunities your salespeople win or lose and why. Get insights on sales cycle duration and win rates to improve your sales process and make it more efficient. Revenue forecast reports predict turnover and growth to help spot problems before they arise. Recurring revenue reports reflect customer payments that come in multiple instalments, letting you accurately project revenue.
Pipedrive has email integration features included on all plans. With Zoho, this feature is only available on higher plans, not with their Standard or Free plan. Pipedrive also offers two-way synchronization, so you can both send and receive emails. Zoho only supports one-way sync so you’ll have to continuously switch from CRM to your email inbox.
Pipedrive comes top in leading industry comparisons.
SoftwareReviews, a division of Info-Tech Research Group, named Pipedrive as an industry leader in its 2021 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Data Quadrant and Emotional Footprint Awards.
