What is Zoho Projects?
Zoho Projects is Zoho's flagship project management solution, offering full lifecycle management—from project planning to execution and delivery. Whether you’re a small team or managing enterprise-level operations, it enables you to organize work, monitor progress with Gantt charts, automate task workflows, and foster collaboration with chats, feeds, and forums.
Compared to traditional project management tools like Microsoft Project or Asana, Zoho Projects stands out for its affordability, deep Zoho ecosystem integration, and rapid innovation cycle. From our direct experience, Projects 8 delivers a noticeably smoother interface, enhanced task automation, and a significant boost in mobile usability, solidifying its role as a must-have for Zoho-centered organizations.
Why we rate it "Definitely"
We confidently rate Zoho Projects a "Definitely" because of its major improvements in the Projects 8 release. It remains one of the most intuitive project management tools once you’re past the initial learning curve, particularly when leveraging CRM, Desk, or Books integrations. The mobile app, in particular, is outstanding—allowing users to manage dependencies, tasks, and timesheets without friction on the go.
Moreover, Zoho’s rapid pace of updates means the platform continually evolves with customer feedback. Strategic additions like Zia task recommendations and better sprint-style management show Zoho’s commitment to keeping Projects ahead of the competition without bloating the user experience. The product perfectly aligns with businesses that have already adopted Zoho One or CRM Plus, making it a seamless extension of their workflows.
