Zoho Sprints Erfahrungen

Zoho Sprints is Manageable and Customizable

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Zoho Projects, Trello und Microsoft Teams

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: 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.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: Price and availability. Messages and alerts were in Zoho.

Good tool for Agile/Scrum

Kommentare: For Agile/Scrum, this is the right tool and so we are using this on a daily basis.

Vorteile:

Seems it is the correct tool for Agile/Scrum. We evaluated many tools including basecamp, good day etc but nothing to our satisfaction. This fits our needs and bill as well.

Nachteile:

There are still several bugs in the system which we are raising tickets. They are taking time to resolve. But we are able to use it using work arounds.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Basecamp und GoodDay

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: We were looking for good Agile tool and it seems we don't have any tool that fits the needs and bill

Zuvor genutzte Software: ERPNext

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: This is the only tool useful for Agile/Scrum. Other tools are very simple or too much.

Keep it simple, get the basics right

Kommentare: Very Happy

Vorteile:

Ease of Use, intuitive user interface, Complexity made simple

Nachteile:

Not much, maybe a bit light on information radiators

Worst project management software I've ever used

Kommentare: 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.

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira und ClickUp

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: Made a bad choice, went back as soon as we could undo the carnage Zoho Sprints caused us.

Zuvor genutzte Software: ClickUp

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: Bundled as part of Zoho One. Good value on the surface, but that was dead wrong.

Ease of use

Vorteile:

Our team use Zoho sprints on daily basis, we use most the feature, especially we like timesheet and global feature.

Nachteile:

For a small team zoho sprints provide all the required features, we are team of 8 we couldn't able to find any issues so far.

Ease of Product Management using Zoho Sprint

Kommentare: I have been using zoho for managing daily scrums, product roadmap and other PM activities. Zoho has given me ease of maintaining epics, stories and bugs and at the same time it has helped me to foresee the potential risk of slippage.
In just one sprint, I can see that I am able to monitor my team's outcome better than before.

Vorteile:

I have been using zoho for managing daily scrums, product roadmap and other PM activities. Zoho has given me ease of maintaining epics, stories and bugs and at the same time it has helped me to foresee the potential risk of slippage. I can now predict and manage my sprints really well. Loved the simplicity of this product. It does not have some fancy names of items. It uses the industry standard names. It is very well customizable.

Nachteile:

Not much to say here. I guess the onboarding functionality could be added. Also, I felt collaboration could be made more simpler.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira und ADP Workforce Now

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: 1. Simple to use 2. Inexpensive 3. Good Customer service.

The Best Agile Project Management Solution ever built!

Kommentare: We have been using Zoho Projects and to our development model, this was a better choice. We switched to Sprints and We love it more than ever. This product has increased the entire team's productivity by a very large extent.

Vorteile:

Amazingly user-friendly and fast. Very fast updates and new features. Ideal for startups who work from simplest software applications to most complex one's. Amazing customization options, beautifly laid out with neat UI. Quick support and perfect resolution to queries.

Nachteile:

Nothing Specific but we are looking forward to get some friendly features like Cumulative timesheets across the project for a user. Its very annoying to calculate every user's individual project's timesheet to know a month's performance.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira und Trello

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: Zoho Projects is meant for Waterfall model of software development. We are now into agile model hence we made the switch.

Make your life Agile with Zoho Sprints

Kommentare: Organization problems mostly. Benefits of simplicity, what I like the most. I solved the problem to have to think about project management software at a very good price.

Vorteile:

I am like falling in love with this. I think it is amazing that Zoho brings this amazing platform to organize projects. For me, it was a great to find out about it, and then when I start using and understanding, just so easy to apply agile methodology to my work. The best is the simplicity of it. Easy to customize your projects. I love the apps for mobile, get things faster.

Nachteile:

So far nothing. maybe there should be more ways to create templates, it has it, but it is kind of hidden. I do not like that the platform does not have a desktop app for Mac or PC, that would be awesome.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Wrike und Asana

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: Costs, benefits, features, stability.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Bitrix24

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: Simplicity and Price, Love the idea to be Agile and use the SCRUM methodology for all my projects. Also, what I need is task management so this is perfect.

One of the best online agile management software

Vorteile:

Creating work items and the ease of reviewing the status on the scrum board has been really useful. The dashboard gives me a summary of the progress of the work items for the sprint along with the productivity status of the team, which is great. the report of the item process time and the sprint process time has been useful.

Nachteile:

I’ve tried changing the estimation type in my project configuration settings to custom settings instead of the default Fibonacci series. It allows me to enter only numeric values. In our team, we measure the size of the work item as T shirt sizes – XS, S, M, L, XL etc.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Zoho Projects

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: It was not suitable for our business since it was not for tracking project/work item status.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Zoho CRM

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: I didn't realise Zoho projects was only for projects that use the waterfall methodology. I learnt this from the customer care executive, hence the switch.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Jira

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: Great value for money

Jira is not the only tool startups should consider for Sprint management ...

Kommentare: Zoho Sprints has proved to be a great tool for us technical and product people. When we first picked the tool, mainly because we were using other tools in the Zoho Suite, we were not sure if we were making the right choice. But after 18+ months of using it, I feel my bet has paid off. It has all the features I need in a good sprint management tool and then some more.

Vorteile:

Zoho Sprints is a very easy to use and intuitive sprint management tool. It was very easy to setup and customizeable in many ways. Reporting capabilities are good and the flexibility built into this online only app are great.

Nachteile:

There doesn't seem to be too much active development on this product. Integration with self-hosted Gitlab was promised more than a year back, and there doesn't seem to be any progress on it. Meetings don't sync with Google Calendar, so its pointless even using that feature in the tool. But other than that, everything else is very good.

Transitioning off of Google Sheets

Kommentare: It has been much easier to see an overview of our tasks and defects, then it was on Google Sheets.

Vorteile:

The ability to easily turn feed messages into a work item is amazing! Also the integration with Zoho Desk and many other apps is very valuable.

Nachteile:

I loved the Zoho Learning beta version, and would have liked to use it, however it does not in any way integrate with Zoho Sprints. I feel that perhaps it should so development or marketing knowledge transfers can be pulled from within Sprints.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira, Trello und Shortcut

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: Could not keep up with the status of each task, plus with using an outside development company, we needed a reliable way to prioritize our stories.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Google Sheets

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: the integration with the CRM and Desk subscriptions.

How we changed from a cascade methodology to a scrum one with Zoho Sprints

Kommentare: We are still growing around it, learning how to implement it in a proper way, but we are feeling very satisfied with the starting results.

Vorteile:

How easy it is to move your team from another solution to this one, after a proper scrum training and with the online training available.

Nachteile:

We are currently using Zoho Projects coming from a cascade methodology, we wrote to Zoho's customer service to check if there was a way to migrate our projects data to Zoho Sprints but we have not received any answer yet.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira, monday.com und Asana

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: Going from a cascade method to a scrum/agile one

Zuvor genutzte Software: Zoho Projects

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: We have already used Zoho products before, it felt easier and closer to use than other options.

Zoho Sprints Trial experience

Kommentare: - We're a small company which requires some kind of SDLC tracking but nothing on a big level
- We use AGILE methodology, which Zoho Sprints seems very good for it

Vorteile:

the entire application is built from the ground up to care for AGILE methodology

Nachteile:

Nothing at the moment. I think the Zendesk integration is weird to be from Zoho to Zendesk, and bidirectional with Zendesk as the driver

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Backlog, GitLab, Quire und Jira

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: This product is perfect to tune the SDLC according to agile, it's built to cater such an issue

Zuvor genutzte Software: GitLab

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: as said above. Zoho Sprints is a software package that is built specifically for AGILE SDLC, which is what we wanted

Zoho Projects-Sprints integration

Kommentare: Very limited experience; however, the team loved the Zoho Projects-Sprints integration.

Vorteile:

The ability to use a hybrid approach by integrating the waterfall methodology and the more flexible Agile approach is the best of the latest updates to the Zoho Projects/Sprints.

Nachteile:

As of now, we like everything in Zoho Sprints and Project.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Basecamp

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: I liked the Zoho Project-Sprint integration.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Basecamp

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: One of our team members have been using Zoho projects for years and after showing us the Projects-Sprints integration it made it easy for us to change over from Basecamp.

Vorteile:

It was easy to use and easy to set up. We were us and running in less than 30 minutes.

Moving backlog items to the current sprint is a little confusing.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Trello

Sprint Analysis

Kommentare: It can improve Gitlab support: Move tasks between columns automatically, create a comment in the MRs informing the task url in Zoho Sprints, you can display Gitlab labels in Zoho. It can too improve Markdown support.

Vorteile:

I liked the features: Sprint and Release Managements and too labels and columns customization.

Nachteile:

I didn't like the low integration with Gitlab. Many features are missing that would make Zoho Sprints more automated. It also needs to natively support markdown.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira, Tuleap, Taiga und Shortcut

Warum Zoho Sprints gewählt wurde: Seeking better integration with Gitlab.

Zuvor genutzte Software: Jira, Kanboard und Shortcut

Zoho Sprints Rocks

Kommentare: Zoho Sprints gives a a great way to centralize our user stories and tasks, and really made collaboration easy. We also love the visibility it provides to our project sponsors. We have a lot to learn about implementing agile project management, and this product really made it fun and effective.

Vorteile:

The software is great looking, very easy to learn, and the team really liked it. We were able to get a project up-and-running quickly and it was easy to add new stories and tasks. Really liked the import feature as well - we were able to import our existing user stories so we dd not have to manually type them in again.

Nachteile:

User management was a bit confusing. We were not really sure what each role was able to do - we figured it out by trial and error.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: Way easier to learn that Jira. Zoho Sprints did exactly what we wanted - to help manage sprints.

GREAT UI

Kommentare: Only using the trial but looks promising so far

Vorteile:

SIMPLE TO USE MINIMAL CONFIGURATION - Scrum out of the box, don't have to configure anything to get started. EPIC UI is great - can view user stories in epic and see all the sprints they are assigned to, as well as overall completion of the epic.

Nachteile:

Tagging Feature - Don't care about the counts or having to click to see the tags - just show the tags No Release Planning and Capacity Planing features Cannot prioritize user stories when viewing the Epic list No concept of teams, you assign users to a project or sprint No customized reporting

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen: Jira und Yodiz

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Zoho Sprints: Possibly, weighing ease of use over feature set. Would like a better tagging feature, prioritization within the epic, would like to see more robust release planning features.
