How Zoho CRM became the world's favorite CRM software 

Look up the top ten or top five or the best CRMs in the market. You’ll likely find plenty of articles that recycle many of the same prominent names. There must be some truth to it, otherwise it’s hard for the same set of CRMs to make an appearance in every list. Yet, with the great variety of CRM solutions out there, why are only a select few being considered for praise by list makers?

Who’s to say who is right? 

The customer is always right

Well, maybe not always, but when it comes to finding the good, the bad, and the ugly aspects of a CRM, customers are the most authentic source of information. We are talking about entrepreneurs who trust these applications with their livelihoods, salespeople who use them constantly, marketers who need to connect with their audience, and executives who depend on metrics to make crucial decisions.

They’re the end users—the people who spent their hard earned money on a CRM that can run their life’s work on the cloud. They have firsthand experience with every feature and bug, all the benefits and obstacles, and how much impact the system has had on their productivity and revenue since adoption. 

You shouldn’t just settle for a CRM. You should fall in love with it. You’re likely using a variety of different software solutions already, but have you ever stopped to wonder whether you love them? Is it your favorite among all the possible software solutions that currently exist, that you may never have had the chance to try? 

Zoho CRM’s customers answered !

Those who use Zoho CRM love Zoho CRM. But don’t take our word for it—just listen to what our customers have to say! 

This year, PCMag surveyed their readers for their opinions on the CRM software that they use, and the results were astounding. Zoho CRM was the leader in almost every category of the survey, notably customer satisfaction and likelihood to recommend. Zoho CRM’s customers were the most satisfied among their readers and were more likely to recommend us than customers of other vendors. All this feedback was excellent, but perhaps the stand-out result of the survey was this:

You know you’re doing something right when your users are happy to vouch for you, while users of other products won’t. That’s the dream, right? To build world-class products and offer a standout experience that turns customers into fans and promoters. 

It’s also worth noting that Zoho CRM won the Business Choice award as well as the Editors Choice award from PCMag, making us the favorites on both fronts. This isn’t the first time where both users and critics have had a great experience with Zoho CRM—FinancesOnline picked us as the recipient for the Expert’s Choice Award and the Great User Experience Award.

Zoho CRM is rated highly where it counts 

Zoho CRM won the Gartner Peer Insights Customer choice awards for the Best CRM Lead Management Software of 2018 as well as the Best Sales Force Automation Software in April 2019 and October 2019, back to back from our customers. It shouldn’t be news that Zoho CRM is one of the highest rated CRMs in almost all review aggregator websites. Zoho CRM has emerged as one of the leaders in GetApps’s Best CRM Software for 2019 and G2Crowd’s Best Product for Sales.
