Overall Solution/Tax compliant/API Limitations

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Zoho Books from other similar products?

The integration with other modules like ZOHO CRM, ZOHO People, ZOHO Payroll, makes it extremely beneficial for companies who want this as a one stop solution. In other cases, either we have to set up that entire integration or do a lot of manual processes in order to have linkages cross-functionally.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Ease of documentation of the entire order processing. From estimate to Sales Order to Invoice and Purchase Order, we have been able to link up everything and automate using their APIs.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Limits on API hits per minute and workflow limits. This has resulted in literal revenue losses of $500,000 on a single day earlier when the entire system was down and we were out of ZOHO Flows, and Workflows in ZOHO Books.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You should know the peak utilization of APIs and flows. Once that analysis is done, you must always keep a buffer with the platform to make sure that there is enough space to accommodate any surges.

Pros

Inspires Innovation
Transparent
Security Protects

Cons

Less Efficient Service
