Zoho Sprints

Zoho Sprints is Manageable and Customizable

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Overwogen alternatieven: Zoho Projects, Trello en Microsoft Teams

Redenen om voor Zoho Sprints te kiezen: 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.

Overgestapt van: Trello

Redenen om over te stappen op Zoho Sprints: Price and availability. Messages and alerts were in Zoho.

Best way to Replace Jira and Reduce the cost without even missing Jira.

Opmerkingen: It's a final and total replacement of Jira and that's more than enough for us.

Pluspunten:

It has everything an agile software development team needs. It coherently works with the onboarding and attendance of employees along with project management, which is a plus. And its less complex and less expensive than Jira, which we previously used.

Minpunten:

If they can develop resource management or something of that sort that can provide us at a glance view of who is free in our team even for an hour then that would increase our productivity multifold, not to mention reduce idle time.

Overwogen alternatieven: monday.com, ClickUp en Asana

Redenen om voor Zoho Sprints te kiezen: It was difficult to handle multiple systems and the interface of Jira was difficult to use.

Overgestapt van: Jira en Google Workspace

Redenen om over te stappen op Zoho Sprints: Prices compared to features.

The trusted and perfect software

Opmerkingen: An excellent and very efficient platform!

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Worst project management software I've ever used

Opmerkingen: 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.

Pluspunten:

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.

Minpunten:

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.

Overwogen alternatieven: Jira en ClickUp

Redenen om voor Zoho Sprints te kiezen: Made a bad choice, went back as soon as we could undo the carnage Zoho Sprints caused us.

Overgestapt van: ClickUp

Redenen om over te stappen op Zoho Sprints: Bundled as part of Zoho One. Good value on the surface, but that was dead wrong.

Zoho Sprints Review

Pluspunten:

Features: Most of the project management tools in the market have the same features but at a higher cost. Surprisingly Zoho Sprints have all of the features needed to manage multiple projects with very less pricing.

Minpunten:

I need to dig down more to find the Cons!!
