]]> Comment on A Review of Zoho CRM for iPhone & Desktop by David http://www.adavidcreation.com/a-review-of-zoho-crm-for-iphone-desktop/comment-page-1/#comment-295 David Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:38:51 +0000 http://www.adavidcreation.com/?p=420#comment-295 <a href="#comment-294" rel="nofollow">@Eric </a> Thanks, Eric for your comment. I check on Zoho weekly to see if they make any progress. They just released their first iPhone App for Zoho Docs, but I wish they'd do Zoho CRM first! Have you used the Mobile Version of Zoho CRM? If so, do you like it? @Eric

Thanks, Eric for your comment. I check on Zoho weekly to see if they make any progress. They just released their first iPhone App for Zoho Docs, but I wish they’d do Zoho CRM first! Have you used the Mobile Version of Zoho CRM? If so, do you like it?

I do wish it had some of the features of Salesforce but you can not beat the price and function you get for that price. If Zoho can continue to develop and grow while maintaining its current pricing model it will be a serious threat to Salesforce.

I'm pretty familiar with Marketsharp. I've used it for direct mail for years. I'm not familiar with their new "m" version though. I was never impressed with their design and usability. It will NOT compare to Salesforce or Zoho. Salesforce can get pricey fast depending on your features. How many users are you thinking? Do you need mobile capabilities? Feel free to call me in the morning...be happy to take a few mins and talk to you about your CRM. Or just email me. My phone number is on this site. Jennifer, thanks for the comment.

I'm currently wading through our options on a cloud-based CRM and hadn't yet run into Zoho. I've been evaluating Salesforce but was worried it was going to get pricey fast. I'm also checking out Marketsharp-M...since its built specifically for contractors it seems to be viable option as well, but I haven't tested it out yet. Great info here David.

I did look over this software. It seems real simple and easy to use. The price, you can't beat! This might be a good option if a small contractor/service business does not use an accounting software like Quickbooks. Most businesses should be using a good accounting software, and if they are, invoicing is typically included as a feature. The reason I've endorsed Freshbooks is because how easy it is to use. There is NO attaching of invoices to emails. It is all automated. You pay for this service, but it does save time, a lot of time. Basically Freshbooks manages your invoicing department. If one is looking for a cost effective way to send invoices and does not need the online or mobile capabilities, you have a nice product. Thank you for the email. I did look over this software.

And I'm grateful to hear that the ability to import from your bank was our missing "must have" feature. We have known for some time that the connection to banks was critical; our heads were down on development to make sure we do it right! Why free? Fundamental accounting shouldn't cost an arm and a leg because every business needs to do it right and too many neglect it entirely. If we can make it simple to work for yourself by taking care of the bookkeeping, if we can free you from accounting, then you can spend more time on your business and we can offer other innovations for a fee. Check out our 1099 e-Filing service, for example. Outright.com will take care of the record keeping for any contractors on your team - the fundamental bookkeeping. For only $5, we can save you even more time by filing the tax forms. Great to have you back on Outright.com!
