Pros:

Overall every Zoho platform we have has made life easier or more efficient. This is a software that does have benefits. It allows us to communicate on an inhouse and professional program. It could be through messages, videos or more. This can make communication easier and more efficient for the office, but it is not perfect.

Cons:

This is the most redundant software package I have ever had. Between emails, our office phones and texting I do not understand why we need this software. The only benefit is that it is more professional and exclusively inner office. Yes, I cannot drunk zoho cliq video call my boss, but any professional should be able to do that without this software. I am not impressed and try my best to avoid this software daily.

A simple to use team communication and collaboration tool

We used Zoho cliq extensively for communication and collaboration. The integration with Zoho mail and our Zoho desk tools has made the experience even better.

Pros:

We have used Zoho Cliq for over 2 years and it has been a great experience so far. Its user interface is quite simple and it is integrated with other Zoho products which makes it more appealing. One can start a Zoho video/audio meeting, take notes in the meeting and notes would appear as a chat in Cliq. Meetings can also be scheduled and reminders set and one can be certain to get both app notification and email notifications.

Cons:

Zoho cliq have this good feature called Schedulers. They are very useful for doing some repetitive tasks. But they can be quite difficult to set up.Also we have had a couple of complaints about the some of our users not getting push notification on the mobile app.

Reasons for switching to Zoho Cliq

We switched from slack because it was becoming more difficult to use. The app and web version was also quite slow for us at the time. It also made sense since we were already using Zoho mail

Easy to Use Communication

Using cliq to improve communication within our company has helped a lot. However, I have not had the best experience with Zoho customer service in general one time. Other times, I had a great experience.

Pros:

This is fantastic and easy to use communication software for within our company. It integrates seamlessly with other zoho applications and with other external applications. We have significantly increased productivity since using this.

Cons:

There are some drawbacks, such as you are limited in character amounts that you can write for messages, but overall I like most of the features and it has improved over time. Another issue is that we cannot figure out how to integrate clients on to the platform without purchasing new user licenses. It was my understanding that you could have clients communicate as "visitors" within some particular channels in cliq that you designate but not have to be on a license. However, I have yet to be able to make this work.

Reasons for choosing Zoho Cliq

Functionality

Pros:

As a Zoho One User Zoho Cliq is a no brainer. It integrates incredibly well with the Zoho Suite and it's very easy to create new integrations with Zoho Creator. What I probably like best about Cliq is the 3 column layout that allows me to chat in 3 different chats at once.

Cons:

The desktop app for Mac feels a bit like a browser version and has some quirks where you need to reload the app in order for it to work.

Reasons for choosing Zoho Cliq

The integration with the whole Zoho suite is flawless and easy making it our prime choice.

Reliable team chat with strong meeting functionality.

Video calls make client demos a breeze, file sharing is ideal for design assets, and we've cut down on email noise substantially. Security permissions allow us to manage client access to sensitive channels without closing off open team comms.

Ease of use

Pros:

Zoho Cliq's threaded conversations and group chats categorize our dev discussions by project. Screen sharing on code reviews is as open as day, and message search allows us to find technical choices from weeks past when debugging client problems.

Cons:

High learning curve compared to Slack, and some messaging features feel clunky compared to alternatives.
