Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • See below.
  • We completed their 14 day free trial. We liked many aspects of the offering and felt it offered a lot of customization to meet our needs and it was our intention to sign up for their service.
  • Crowdstack is a very easy to use platform. It provides great support to engage with customers and give you a manageable service to track their needs.

Cons

  • See overall.
  • Their pricing model is way too rigid. The Foundation plan for $399/mo offered nearly everything we were looking for. The only problem was that they use a lot of strange terms on their pages...fortunately, they offer a "custom wording" feature that allows you to change some of those words. Unfortunately, that was the only feature we required from the Complete plan, for which our custom pricing was offered at $999/mo. We didn't require any of the other features included with the Complete plan and couldn't justify $600/mo more for that plan just for the custom wording feature. We gave them several chances to offer a more reasonable pricing solution and win our business. Instead, they remained inflexible. Trust me, when a company that is trying to secure long-term subscriptions is this inflexible at the beginning, you don't want to work with them. Imagine months down the road when you have thousands of users and find out you need something from Crowdstack...how inflexible do you think they're going to be then? My recommendation is to find a more flexible community building solution, like Tribe or the many other community building solutions now available.
  • Overall its an outstanding platform customer engagement tool.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Zoho Connect is the essential service for a large group of employees to easily connect, share ideas, generate discussions and have a fluent conversation at all times, the first thing I liked about this platform is the ability it has to allow me to create a wall As a company, this wall is quite beneficial for me, since within this section you can create various publications, have reactions to publications, comment on publications, share important company material through this medium, it helps all employees stay informed about the latest information that has been shared regarding the company. In addition, I love that this platform has extensive integration when doing collaborative work, this platform provides me with a section where I can work as a team, share files, share documents related to an activity, integrate it with the calendar, these groups They provide me with the perfect space to be able to meet with my work team and to be able to enhance results by constantly working and collaborating.
  • Zoho Connect is a very effective tool that helps me to increase team collaboration. I can also mention that it is a very versatile tool, easy to handle, uncomplicated, and with a great variety among its functionalities. I have been able to make long-distance remote connections and create internal conferences quickly. This software has an essential tool, and it is about the calendar of events since I can have everything measured and with a wide range of facilities around the planning objectives.
  • Zoho Connect app supports multi-platforms. It gives you a place to collaborate with a team and share your ideas. You can also share files with real-time conversation system. It increases teamwork efforts and group skills.

Cons

  • Registration within Zoho Connect is completely free, which allows new users to use the platform at no cost, however, this free version is one of the first things that I did not like about this platform, this free version is extremely limited, it has limits on the number of posts you can create on your business wall, in addition, it also limits the number of participants that may be in a collaborative work area, which greatly limits large-scale participation in a specific activity, my My opinion is that this free version should expand its limits and allow many more users to test the platform more fully. The other problem that I got is that the integrated editors for documents are not so complete, which causes the user to not be able to modify both Word files or documents or PowerPoint presentations, these built-in editors by default are quite basic and do not allow professional editing. a document within Zoho Connect.
  • It should be noted that the program seems to me very bold and simplifies our objectives to the point of doing an excellent job; it is aligned to the communication between departments impeccably.
  • It offers a great platform to collaborate with the team.
