About Zoho Sprints
Zoho Sprints is an agile project management tool that helps Scrum teams to plan, track and always be ready for change.
For us the integration with bitbucket was key, as well as the integration with a service desk (zoho desk).
No, I am still to try many things on this tool.

The Best Agile Project Management Solution ever built!
Comments: 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.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.
Alternatives Considered: Jira and Trello
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Zoho Projects is meant for Waterfall model of software development. We are now into agile model hence we made the switch.
Switched From: Zoho Projects
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: This was value for money, easy to configure and get it running and was offering lot more features in a bundle ideal for our requirement.
Zoho Sprints Review: A Comprehensive Look
Comments: Zoho Sprints is a solid choice for teams looking to adopt agile practices. Its robust features, user-friendly interface, and competitive pricing make it a valuable tool for project management. While there might be a learning curve for those new to agile, the benefits of using Zoho Sprints far outweigh the initial challenges.
Pros:
Zoho Sprints boasts an intuitive interface that is easy to navigate, even for those new to agile methodologies. The tool's customization options allow teams to tailor the platform to their specific needs and preferences.
Cons:
Comprehensive feature set User-friendly interface Strong integration with other Zoho tools Competitive pricing
Wow perfect nice tool
Pros:
What I greatly like a out Zoho sprints is using drag and drop features to design task efficiently.
Cons:
When comparing Zoho support with other Zoho sprints offers limited support assistance
User Experience is more than slapping together hodge-podge of few screens!! Zoho Sprints FAILS!!!
Comments:
TWO THUMBS DOWN!! Who is such an idiot that came up with a concept of a "Global View" concept - an Icon that you have to click simply to access your completed sprints/workitems - that too ungrouped dumped in front of you??? Honestly, Zoho - being such a large corporation, I put so much value into your brand when I picked your Sprints. Your CEO should read and try creating and managing one project himself/herself - NOT WATCH A DEMO as a passive audience member - I would be curious to see how many in the senior leadership of this product called Zoho Sprints remain in their job at end of that experience of creating and managing a single project with multiple sprints! How hard can be creation of a user interface that guides user through...
- Creation and management of EPICs, associate work items and sprints, and print meaningful reports for a given EPIC?
- Listing all sprints together - and marking completed/canceled/upcoming/active sprints as such? And allow user to click through and access all of the details of that selected sprint? And allow user to generate a meaningful summary and detailed reports for that sprint?
- Allowing you to generate a project-level report that includes all Epics, Sprints, Work Items reflected in there at summary or detailed level based on who the user is.
Also, I don't think permissions work correctly: I have someone in my team as "Manager" but he can't see any of the completed items in the "Global View", but I can as an Admin??????
Pros:
Positive First impression is the only positive note I can make on this software. During my free trial, I got carried away with pretty look of this application and charts/dashboards etc., and signed up for a year long Professional contract. BIG MISTAKE!
Cons:
These developers are like a fresh kids out of some d-School, who have no clue that people need to be able to access their data efficiently at a later point after data was entered into this thing that leads it to ABYSS of no-where land! There are plenty of pretty looking charts that DO NOT ALLOW click-throughs for further details. AND Literally, there are no printable reports in the system - a chart is not a report! And exported Excel spreadsheet with hodge-podge of my data slapped together is not a report either, my friend! There is literally NO CONSISTENT WAY of creating/accessing your Sprints.
Zoho Response
6 years ago
We’re really sorry to see that our product did not meet your expectations. This is certainly not a situation we want to see our customers in. Thank you for sharing what you went through in great detail. We read your feedback carefully and feel we can address them. Let us take them one by one. 1. Purpose of Global View All the info we show in the beginning is just a starting point. You can filter, search, and sort within this to drill down to the information you want. The enterprise plan also has a custom-view-tab where you can customise based on one or more criteria. You can then save these custom views you created for quick access later. 2. User interface that guides through Epics module There is indeed such an interface. Through six different steps, it takes you through all you can do with epics. And it fires up just after you create your first epic. If this is disabled, you can view it any time by clicking the ‘help tour’ icon at the bottom right bar. The same option is available not just in this module but across the product. 3. List all sprints We are working on making the sprint counters in the dashboard clickable, which would let you view this. An update we are planning for the custom view should show you the same info here also. 4. Detailed reports Please check if you’ve seen all these reports. In the reports module, burn up and burn down are shown by default for sprints. However, this can be changed to show the same info for epics. Additionally, we also have an epic progress report. You can view a sprint level dashboard, by clicking the ‘view details’ button next to the sprint name on the board module. Custom sprint-wise reports and dashboards are ‘work in progress’ and we can let you know as soon as they are ready. All our existing reports are, and future reports will be, printable. 5. Project level report of all sub-items As mentioned in point 1, you can drill down to this by filtering from the global view. And you need not do this everytime - you can save this view to get to it quickly. 6. Manager not able to see all info in global view The manager is probably looking under the ‘My View' tab in the default view. The purpose of this view is to see just his or her own items. The manager can see all items in all the sprints he or she is part of by choosing the appropriate criteria in the custom view. 7. Click through reports We do provide click throughs wherever applicable. However, some reports aggregate info from several views, so we cannot provide a click through here. In reports that show past activity, again, we cannot provide click throughs as the underlying data may have changed over time. If you feel we have missed a clickthrough where it is possible, do let us know the specific case and we will add it ASAP. I would like to share that the team that built this product also built Zoho Projects, a project management platform that has been around for over 10 years. They have spent these years developing domain expertise, honing the product and improving everything that adds to the customer experience. So it follows that the experience you had is something we are determined to change. We would like to speak with you on a call to learn more from you, walk you through these features and do our best to meet your needs. Please get in touch with us by mailing to [email protected].

Zoho Sprints Review

Cons:
I need to dig down more to find the Cons!!
My review for zoho sprints

Good tool for Agile/Scrum
Comments: For Agile/Scrum, this is the right tool and so we are using this on a daily basis.
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.
Alternatives Considered: Basecamp and GoodDay
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: We were looking for good Agile tool and it seems we don't have any tool that fits the needs and bill
Switched From: ERPNext
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: This is the only tool useful for Agile/Scrum. Other tools are very simple or too much.
Intuitive software with good feature to price ratio
Pros:
The main advantage - easy integrates with projects and zoho desks.
Cons:
No option to manage more than one project in one scrum board
One of the best online agile management software
Pros:
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.
Cons:
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.
Alternatives Considered: Zoho Projects
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: It was not suitable for our business since it was not for tracking project/work item status.
Switched From: Zoho CRM
Reasons for Switching to 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.
