Zoho Sprints Reviews

Zoho Sprints is Manageable and Customizable

Comments: We decided to use Scrum methodology. Zoho Sprints was able to handle backlog and bug log the way we have been using it. It was available and it worked without a huge learning curve for a short deadline.

Pros:

I like the customization of features, especially creating card templates and statuses. Custom templates comes in handy when we are importing from another platform like Trello and we want to use the same format. I also like the integration between other platforms including Zoho Projects for Gantt charts. I like that we can add a custom 'Status Type'. I used this feature to add a 'Review' status for code review. I also like the integration with Zoho Projects and Trello. I also liked how I can simply reorder users stories or work items, from sprints or backlog, into different Epics.

Cons:

I found Epics to be a little confusing. I am curious as to why this is a premium feature. It appears there are many other features I would consider premium. Some of the dashboard items were hard to setup to be useful.

Alternatives Considered: Zoho Projects, Trello and Microsoft Teams

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Most of the features were free and the rest was included with the trial. We used Zoho for other business processes and decided to give it a try.

Switched From: Trello

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Price and availability. Messages and alerts were in Zoho.

Make your life Agile with Zoho Sprints

Comments: Organization problems mostly. Benefits of simplicity, what I like the most. I solved the problem to have to think about project management software at a very good price.

Pros:

I am like falling in love with this. I think it is amazing that Zoho brings this amazing platform to organize projects. For me, it was a great to find out about it, and then when I start using and understanding, just so easy to apply agile methodology to my work. The best is the simplicity of it. Easy to customize your projects. I love the apps for mobile, get things faster.

Cons:

So far nothing. maybe there should be more ways to create templates, it has it, but it is kind of hidden. I do not like that the platform does not have a desktop app for Mac or PC, that would be awesome.

Alternatives Considered: Wrike and Asana

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Costs, benefits, features, stability.

Switched From: Bitrix24

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Simplicity and Price, Love the idea to be Agile and use the SCRUM methodology for all my projects. Also, what I need is task management so this is perfect.

Codezyng is now using Zoho Sprints

Comments: It was good, on boarding was easy. This was the tool we chose as the pricing was bit convenient for us when compared to Azure.

Pros:

Simple Tool to manage just the sprints and not many technical jargons.

Cons:

Not many status for tasks , like "pending", "ready for QA" etc

Worst project management software I've ever used

Comments: Absolutely horrible. Doesn't integrate well with Zoho Desk, Zoho CRM, or any of the Zoho projects. Horrendous UI. Buggy and glitchy. Run - don't walk - away from this part of Zoho. There are plenty of solid project management/agile management tools out there that offer great value - this would be dead last in ratings.

Pros:

Zoho One generally has good breadth and value for money. Zoho Sprints should be removed from the Zoho platform. I suppose if you were running a team of yourself, and hated your time but love clicking your mouse and being frustrated, this might be a good choice.

Cons:

Absolutely unusable. The integrations into the rest of Zoho One's products is barely there. The interface is not intuitive. Buttons are completely in the wrong place. If you asked a UX designer to create a piece of software with the maximum amount of clicks and that forces a user to really slow down and search for how to use the software, they would struggle to design Zoho Sprints.

Alternatives Considered: Jira and ClickUp

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Made a bad choice, went back as soon as we could undo the carnage Zoho Sprints caused us.

Switched From: ClickUp

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Bundled as part of Zoho One. Good value on the surface, but that was dead wrong.

Zoho Sprints

Pros:

I liked the ability to organize work in a different way, easy to use interface, easy integrations, drag and drop

Cons:

I wish there was more out of the box automation kind of like Desk

One of the best online agile management software

Pros:

Creating work items and the ease of reviewing the status on the scrum board has been really useful. The dashboard gives me a summary of the progress of the work items for the sprint along with the productivity status of the team, which is great. the report of the item process time and the sprint process time has been useful.

Cons:

I’ve tried changing the estimation type in my project configuration settings to custom settings instead of the default Fibonacci series. It allows me to enter only numeric values. In our team, we measure the size of the work item as T shirt sizes – XS, S, M, L, XL etc.

Alternatives Considered: Zoho Projects

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: It was not suitable for our business since it was not for tracking project/work item status.

Switched From: Zoho CRM

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: I didn't realise Zoho projects was only for projects that use the waterfall methodology. I learnt this from the customer care executive, hence the switch.

My review for zoho sprints

Pros:

Its time tracking and user point systems

Cons:

Ui can be better more flat system or material ui

Alternatives Considered: Jira

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: its just made for project management and information flow is controlled Notion is very open and confidential information cannot be managed.

How we changed from a cascade methodology to a scrum one with Zoho Sprints

Comments: We are still growing around it, learning how to implement it in a proper way, but we are feeling very satisfied with the starting results.

Pros:

How easy it is to move your team from another solution to this one, after a proper scrum training and with the online training available.

Cons:

We are currently using Zoho Projects coming from a cascade methodology, we wrote to Zoho's customer service to check if there was a way to migrate our projects data to Zoho Sprints but we have not received any answer yet.

Alternatives Considered: Jira, monday.com and Asana

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Going from a cascade method to a scrum/agile one

Switched From: Zoho Projects

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: We have already used Zoho products before, it felt easier and closer to use than other options.

Intuitive software with good feature to price ratio

Pros:

The main advantage - easy integrates with projects and zoho desks.

Cons:

No option to manage more than one project in one scrum board

Start to finish project management

Comments: Very good if you already work in the Zoho ecosystem. Learning curve will be very minimal.

Pros:

Time tracking and calendar charts are very informative. Helps to manage time without doing all the calculations. Can also track hours which are billable.

Cons:

A little complicated to look at all at once when the project tasks increase.

Zoho Sprints Trial experience

Comments: - We're a small company which requires some kind of SDLC tracking but nothing on a big level
- We use AGILE methodology, which Zoho Sprints seems very good for it

Pros:

the entire application is built from the ground up to care for AGILE methodology

Cons:

Nothing at the moment. I think the Zendesk integration is weird to be from Zoho to Zendesk, and bidirectional with Zendesk as the driver

Alternatives Considered: Jira, Quire, GitLab and Backlog

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: This product is perfect to tune the SDLC according to agile, it's built to cater such an issue

Switched From: GitLab

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: as said above. Zoho Sprints is a software package that is built specifically for AGILE SDLC, which is what we wanted

Zoho Sprints Rocks

Comments: Zoho Sprints gives a a great way to centralize our user stories and tasks, and really made collaboration easy. We also love the visibility it provides to our project sponsors. We have a lot to learn about implementing agile project management, and this product really made it fun and effective.

Pros:

The software is great looking, very easy to learn, and the team really liked it. We were able to get a project up-and-running quickly and it was easy to add new stories and tasks. Really liked the import feature as well - we were able to import our existing user stories so we dd not have to manually type them in again.

Cons:

User management was a bit confusing. We were not really sure what each role was able to do - we figured it out by trial and error.

Alternatives Considered: Jira

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Way easier to learn that Jira. Zoho Sprints did exactly what we wanted - to help manage sprints.

New to Sprint, liking what Zoho has to offer so far

The trusted and perfect software

Comments: An excellent and very efficient platform!

Pros:

The platform is very easy to navigate and use as it is accessible to all team/platform members. You can customize it and integrate it with other Zoho applications which is very simple to do.

Cons:

Although the platform offers some limited customization options, it is very annoying to be able to determine the timesheet and project performance of each user of the platform.

It is really adaptable.

I can't see the rundown of different activities on the screen with the relating runs.
