Zoho Sprints Pricing Overview

The initial look and feel of the tool will have you thinking this may just be a passable product for project management. But that facade crumbles quickly once you spend any appreciable time with the product.

How do I count the ways I dislike Zoho Sprints? Myself and my team spent 6 months with it and found it to be awful in almost every facet. Save your business the grief and loss of productivity by using another product. The description below only scratches the surface of the problems with this product: - Confusing UI - Basic workflows are convoluted, hard to execute and unintuitive - Sluggish - Some pages take ages to load or just time out entirely - Buggy - Bugs come and go, and come back again. One of the most annoying is when notifications for comments on a particular story would show up days late. This is a notification, something you're supposed to get notified of instantly. Nope, not with Zoho Sprints. Another is the janky way the UI operated. Dragging items on the kanban board from one status column to the next is sometimes impossible or requires voodoo mouse movement to drop where you want to place them. Pages like the backlog are so difficult to use, difficult to filter, and difficult to find what you're looking. Fields within items are poorly sized. Textarea fields do not allow rich text. The layout is poor and elements like page dividers that are meant to allow horizontal resizing of panels work for a moment and then only drag one pixel per drag. It makes no sense, but this is the norm for this product. Nothing makes sense. - Search - Search works so poorly that it became an exercise in anger management. As with most things in this product, it is poorly implemented and requires the user to bend over backward to get results that other systems can do with ease. My company began using Zoho Sprints for project management work because it was included in our Zoho One subscription. That was a huge mistake and we've since rectified it by moving to another product (we've used several and Zoho Sprints (and sister product Zoho Projects) is by far the worst). It should be called Zoho Crawl. The more we use Zoho products, the clearer it is that the utopia they sell of one subscription with many products to manage your business is just marketing hype. I could describe all the Zoho products I've used with the above description, and the problems would be the same. All junk, poor UX, buggy, frustrating to use and will cost your business greatly in productivity and overall morale. Sidenote: I've noticed that there are A LOT of brief 5 star reviews for this product with glowing statements, but with no real substance. Don't be deceived. No experienced PM that has spent any appreciable time with this product would ever recommend it or give it positive reviews.

Zoho Sprints only created problems for us and lowered our productivity until we pulled the plug and moved to another product.

best application with more features in this pricing

Fast and clear set-up Affordable pricing for small teams

Licencing can become pricy. Findind some information about finished sprints is dificult to find.

Get a whole picture of the work assigned to the team.

1. Easy to configure and use with minimal training 2. UI follows typical scrum processes and allows you to target stories into future sprints to roadmap the team’s work 3. Tagging is very easy, allows the team to organize their stories and show the board by tag or by individual

1. There are only 2 hierarchy levels (Epic and Story). A mid-level hierarchy for “feature” would be helpful to breakdown work (e.g. mvp and full function, or several features to fulfill an epic requirement) within an Epic. 2. Having the ability to show a combined board across project. Project teams members get tasked across projects and it would be nice to have a combined board to see and prioritize work across projects.

Our team is using Zoho projects for a fast-moving team tasked with delivering multiple concurrent projects. We needed a light weight, low cost tool to help us keep work organized

Zoho Sprints is incredibly effective at managing all of our projects. We have an instant status on our short and long term projects and assigning work has become painless. The interface makes it easy for us to collaborate and spend time on our highest priorities.

There have been times where I have not received notifications or alerts from the Sprints web app on my desktop. It comes and goes but the support team is actively looking into this issue. The mobile interface is also a bit painful to navigate. Seeing that the cost is much lower than Basecamp, we can live with the imperfections.

Zoho Sprints is used purely internally. We use it to track our projects in course, obtain timely status updates, and assign work to all team members

I really like Zoho Sprints because it includes a drag-and-drop center that allows you to plan through the prioritization of tasks and the configuration of reminders for each Sprint. The panel provides an overview of the key metrics of the project and the weekly updates of the project status. Different reports can be generated, such as burn and burn reports, as well as speed charts to track progress and identify bottlenecks. Timesheets allow my employees to track billable and non-billable hours and calculate the actual time spent on each work item. The Scrum board allows the visualization of the work status for each sprint based on its completion stage. The solution is available in a monthly subscription and offers email support, a knowledge base, a community of employees and an online help form.

What we disliked was that for some reason, tasks and errors can not be moved to a Sprint from the accumulation if they do not belong to a story. The best thing about this great software is how easy it is to use. I did not need any training or videos to start using it, you have what you need to execute the projects, simple and complete. It really adopts the product accumulation methodology and covers the mid-project changes. You can simply create a priority task list and pass it on to your current career as priorities change, creating what matters to your stakeholders. The interface is clean and simple, has Cliq chat part of the interface and a fully integrated acceleration speed. The price is very good for this level of software.

It gives me the facility to master the projects and tasks of the company. Here are some of the benefits of using the software: the progress of each of the tasks is very easy to see, easy interaction between teams through messages and comments, you can create tasks very easily by simply dragging and dropping, reports with tables and diagrams that facilitate their analysis, Sprint planning, epic boards, image attached when pasting them and speed charts. Now all members of our team can register their billable and non-billable hours in the system. Through this, you can easily track and tabulate the team's time records. Members can choose which element to work on and record the time they spent working on it. The global timer allows us to start, stop or pause the timer for certain elements so you can see the breakdown of the day's work. Meanwhile, Scrum-Master and Product-Owner can approve time sheets with a single click. This helps estimate how much time is needed for the next sprint and complete invoices efficiently.

Uno de los principales puntos a destacar de Zoho es que posee muchas herramientas a la hora de generar la planificacion de los proyectos. Es una herramienta facil de usar, muy dinamica en la generacion de informes, ademas de permitir priorizar las distintas tareas y poder realizar un mejor seguimientos de lo que se ha logrado hasta el momento. Adicionalmente, la opcion de poder utilizar la aplicacion en mi telefono, es otro punto a favor, ya que nos permite realizar el seguimiento de las tareas y el estado del proyecto desde cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento. Otro punto a tener en consideracion, es la generacion de informes mediante diagramas, lo cual facilitan su analisis. Cuenta con una versión de prueba, en la cual podemos utilizar todas las herramientas, lo que nos permite evaluar mas a fondo esta aplicación.

Quizas es algo costoso en sus planes. Otro punto negativo puede ser la lentitud en la carga o descarga de datos, lo cual puede volverlo algo tedioso para el usuario final. La personalización de la aplicación es muy limitada.

Nos ha permitido generar proyectos y hacerles seguimiento a los mismos de manera rápida y sencilla, permitiendo ademas poder gestionar las tareas de manera eficaz y distribuirlo de manera eficiente entre los integrantes del equipo de trabajo.
