What is Zoho Cliq?
Zoho Cliq is Zoho’s dedicated messaging and collaboration platform, designed to streamline communication across teams of all sizes. Featuring real-time chat, file sharing, audio and video calls, and automation through bots and workflows, Cliq brings everything under one easy-to-navigate interface. Compared to traditional collaboration tools like Slack and Microsoft Teams, Cliq stands out for its tight integration with the entire Zoho ecosystem and third-party apps.
At Zenatta, we’ve seen firsthand how businesses leverage Cliq for not only chat but also task management, project collaboration, and automated updates from critical apps like CRM, Projects, and Desk. Unlike many standalone messaging tools, Cliq isn’t just about chatting—it’s about connecting your entire business operations through communication. Its customization capabilities—from building bots to creating tailored workflows—make it one of the most flexible collaboration platforms available today.
Why we rate it "Definitely"
We rate Zoho Cliq a "Definitely" because it offers everything you'd expect from a leading communication platform, with the bonus of native Zoho integrations that dramatically extend its value. The seamless setup, combined with powerful customization options for bots, notifications, and third-party integrations, makes it not just a messaging app but a core business tool.
In our experience, Cliq matches Slack in performance and usability while offering a smoother, more cohesive experience for companies already embedded in the Zoho ecosystem. Compared to Microsoft Teams, it’s quicker to implement, easier to navigate, and much less bloated. With continual updates, excellent mobile access, and unparalleled flexibility, Cliq is a no-brainer for teams serious about communication and productivity.
