Zoho delivers client-portal functionality through its interconnected suite, exposing deals, projects, invoices, documents and e-signatures to clients via CRM and Creator portals. It is inexpensive and deeply capable for existing Zoho users, but the experience is spread across multiple apps rather than a single purpose-built portal.
Pros & cons
Pros
- Very low cost and enormous breadth once inside the Zoho ecosystem
- Native invoicing, projects, e-signature and CRM all connect together
Cons
- – Portal features are fragmented across several apps rather than one unified product
- – Setup and administration can be complex and support quality is inconsistent
