Pros & Cons
TaskRay
Pros
- It runs natively in Salesforce, so project work sits next to account and opportunity data and teams re-enter less data.
- Teams can clone templates for each new customer, which keeps onboarding consistent.
- Reviewers praise the customer support, and a free Standard support tier comes with every license.
- Higher tiers include detailed resource management, such as capacity, utilization, and forecasting.
Cons
- It requires an existing Salesforce org, so teams outside the Salesforce ecosystem can't use it.
- No prices are published for any tier, so buyers must contact sales for a quote.
- Reviewers report a steep learning curve for staff who don't know Salesforce.
- Some users say it feels slower than standalone project tools because of Salesforce platform latency.
ZZoho Projects
Pros
- Paid plans start at $4 per user per month on annual billing, which reviewers rank among the cheapest in the category.
- The free plan supports 5 users and 3 projects, enough for very small teams to run real work.
- Built-in timers, timesheets with approvals, and budgeting serve teams that bill for their time.
- Blueprints, automation rules and custom functions allow detailed workflow control.
- Integrates closely with other Zoho apps such as Desk, Analytics and Sprints.
Cons
- Reviewers say the learning curve is steep, especially for blueprints and custom functions.
- Client and guest access cost extra on top of the plan price.
- Users report weaker portfolio and multi-project management than enterprise-focused rivals.
- Some reviewers find the configuration screens crowded and say support can be slow to respond.
- The free plan has no project templates, and its automation limit is low at 50 actions per month.
