Zoho CRM is the best value in the market — you get enterprise features at a fraction of Salesforce cost. The tradeoff is a steeper learning curve and a UI that feels less polished
Teams that need the simplest possible setup — Zoho CRM has a lot of features and can feel overwhelming compared to Pipedrive or Close

If I take say Zoho CRM, one we've looked at. The plan we need is $55 AUD per seat per month... I can get $6,600 per year for CRM operations approved no problem. But, If I say $600 per user per year management freak out.
