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.

Zoho Sprints is Manageable and Customizable
Comments: We decided to use Scrum methodology. Zoho Sprints was able to handle backlog and bug log the way we have been using it. It was available and it worked without a huge learning curve for a short deadline.
Pros:
I like the customization of features, especially creating card templates and statuses. Custom templates comes in handy when we are importing from another platform like Trello and we want to use the same format. I also like the integration between other platforms including Zoho Projects for Gantt charts. I like that we can add a custom 'Status Type'. I used this feature to add a 'Review' status for code review. I also like the integration with Zoho Projects and Trello. I also liked how I can simply reorder users stories or work items, from sprints or backlog, into different Epics.
Cons:
I found Epics to be a little confusing. I am curious as to why this is a premium feature. It appears there are many other features I would consider premium. Some of the dashboard items were hard to setup to be useful.
Alternatives Considered: Zoho Projects, Trello and Microsoft Teams
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Most of the features were free and the rest was included with the trial. We used Zoho for other business processes and decided to give it a try.
Switched From: Trello
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Price and availability. Messages and alerts were in Zoho.
Make your life Agile with Zoho Sprints
Comments: Organization problems mostly. Benefits of simplicity, what I like the most. I solved the problem to have to think about project management software at a very good price.
Pros:
I am like falling in love with this. I think it is amazing that Zoho brings this amazing platform to organize projects. For me, it was a great to find out about it, and then when I start using and understanding, just so easy to apply agile methodology to my work. The best is the simplicity of it. Easy to customize your projects. I love the apps for mobile, get things faster.
Cons:
So far nothing. maybe there should be more ways to create templates, it has it, but it is kind of hidden. I do not like that the platform does not have a desktop app for Mac or PC, that would be awesome.
Alternatives Considered: Wrike and Asana
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Costs, benefits, features, stability.
Switched From: Bitrix24
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Simplicity and Price, Love the idea to be Agile and use the SCRUM methodology for all my projects. Also, what I need is task management so this is perfect.
Worst project management software I've ever used
Comments: Absolutely horrible. Doesn't integrate well with Zoho Desk, Zoho CRM, or any of the Zoho projects. Horrendous UI. Buggy and glitchy. Run - don't walk - away from this part of Zoho. There are plenty of solid project management/agile management tools out there that offer great value - this would be dead last in ratings.
Pros:
Zoho One generally has good breadth and value for money. Zoho Sprints should be removed from the Zoho platform. I suppose if you were running a team of yourself, and hated your time but love clicking your mouse and being frustrated, this might be a good choice.
Cons:
Absolutely unusable. The integrations into the rest of Zoho One's products is barely there. The interface is not intuitive. Buttons are completely in the wrong place. If you asked a UX designer to create a piece of software with the maximum amount of clicks and that forces a user to really slow down and search for how to use the software, they would struggle to design Zoho Sprints.
Alternatives Considered: Jira and ClickUp
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Made a bad choice, went back as soon as we could undo the carnage Zoho Sprints caused us.
Switched From: ClickUp
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Bundled as part of Zoho One. Good value on the surface, but that was dead wrong.
Effective Agile Project Management for Small to Mid-Sized Teams
Comments: My overall experience with Zoho Sprints has been positive, especially for agile project management in small to medium-sized teams
Pros:
Its clean and user-friendly interface makes it easy to create and manage sprints, track progress, and visualize work using boards and timelines.
Cons:
I found that when I update anything in the task and check the updates do not appear and when I reload the browser then it displays
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.
How we changed from a cascade methodology to a scrum one with Zoho Sprints
Comments: We are still growing around it, learning how to implement it in a proper way, but we are feeling very satisfied with the starting results.
Pros:
How easy it is to move your team from another solution to this one, after a proper scrum training and with the online training available.
Cons:
We are currently using Zoho Projects coming from a cascade methodology, we wrote to Zoho's customer service to check if there was a way to migrate our projects data to Zoho Sprints but we have not received any answer yet.
Alternatives Considered: Jira, monday.com and Asana
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Going from a cascade method to a scrum/agile one

Satisfied with features
Pros:
I like all the available features & easy to manage.

A blog relating to how to start your sprints journey as a beginner could've been helpful.

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Focusing on one thing while being affordable.
Intuitive software with good feature to price ratio

The main advantage - easy integrates with projects and zoho desks.

No option to manage more than one project in one scrum board
Zoho Sprints is a great tool to plan and track our team's work in a simple and visual way.

I love the user-friendly interface and the easy collaboration features. It helps us stay organized and productive.

I wish it had more customizable reporting options and better integration with other project management tools.
Zoho Sprints Trial experience
Comments:
- We're a small company which requires some kind of SDLC tracking but nothing on a big level
- We use AGILE methodology, which Zoho Sprints seems very good for it
Pros:
the entire application is built from the ground up to care for AGILE methodology
Cons:
Nothing at the moment. I think the Zendesk integration is weird to be from Zoho to Zendesk, and bidirectional with Zendesk as the driver
Alternatives Considered: Jira, Quire, GitLab and Backlog
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: This product is perfect to tune the SDLC according to agile, it's built to cater such an issue
Switched From: GitLab
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: as said above. Zoho Sprints is a software package that is built specifically for AGILE SDLC, which is what we wanted
Zoho Sprints Rocks
Comments: Zoho Sprints gives a a great way to centralize our user stories and tasks, and really made collaboration easy. We also love the visibility it provides to our project sponsors. We have a lot to learn about implementing agile project management, and this product really made it fun and effective.
Pros:
The software is great looking, very easy to learn, and the team really liked it. We were able to get a project up-and-running quickly and it was easy to add new stories and tasks. Really liked the import feature as well - we were able to import our existing user stories so we dd not have to manually type them in again.
Cons:
User management was a bit confusing. We were not really sure what each role was able to do - we figured it out by trial and error.
Alternatives Considered: Jira
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Way easier to learn that Jira. Zoho Sprints did exactly what we wanted - to help manage sprints.
Great
Comments: Really good!
Pros:
For sprint based projects, it’s about the simplest software but with robust reporting.
Cons:
It would be great to see a timeline feature.
Alternatives Considered: Asana
Reasons for Choosing Zoho Sprints: Because I needed better reporting
Switched From: Trello
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Asana is too expensive and the reporting isn’t robust or detailed.
The trusted and perfect software
Comments: An excellent and very efficient platform!
Pros:
The platform is very easy to navigate and use as it is accessible to all team/platform members. You can customize it and integrate it with other Zoho applications which is very simple to do.
Cons:
Although the platform offers some limited customization options, it is very annoying to be able to determine the timesheet and project performance of each user of the platform.
Easy to use collaborative sprint tool

Zoho sprint has a simple dashboard interface with many features integrated together.

Switched From: MantisBT and Jira
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: its Indian and cheap with same features
I love Zoho
Pros:
Besides the price being cheap, the features are quite complete and suit our company's needs. Apart from that, Zoho is also easy to use and configure. Most likely we will continue with Zoho for our product management. We are currently submitting a budget to management to support this.
Cons:
For now I haven't found anything I don't like about Zoho
Best And Cost Effective
Pros:
Overall UI/UX and the feature set does all for your requirements as a startup. It helps manages all the task and project planning is done in ease

No dark version in the mobile app is the only thing we would want as developers.
Zoho Sprints
Pros:
I liked the ability to organize work in a different way, easy to use interface, easy integrations, drag and drop
Cons:
I wish there was more out of the box automation kind of like Desk
Love at first sight
Comments: I was looking for a tool that could replace the simplicity of Trello but providing the robustness of Jira. Trello is so simple and flexible but lacks a lot of project management features. Jira is very complete but past experiences made me not like it that much. Zoho Sprints does that and even more. It is such a well done product that only Jira would compare but, IMHO, Zoho Sprints is way better. I like how one can have a lot of info in one tool without feeling overwhelmed by it. You can hide and show lists, panels, columns, and more, to have the needed context. I didn't use the timesheet but it also very helpful to have an in-app timetracker to keep everything in one place. Nicely done, Zoho team.
Pros:
- Sprint planning - Epics boards - Sprint meetings - Image attachment by pasting them - Velocity charts
Cons:
- Some image attachments wouldn't produce a thumbnail - For some reason tasks and bugs cannot be move to a sprint from the backlog if they do not belong to a story - Cannot order stories by priority :(
Using Zoho Sprints
Pros:
Excellant usability, Simple workflow, excellant UI.
Cons:
More insights required for productivity of team and individual team members
Zoho Spirints
Pros:
I have been using Zoho Sprints for the last year - it helped our team be more organised and stream development. Zoho helped us steamline our development also by focusing on more important aspects rather than last-in let's develop attitude.
Cons:
I think the solution needs more reporting and possibly more alerts.
Great for StartUps
Comments: Great experience with Zoho Sprints. It will definitely boost your project management and deliver significant results.
Pros:
The most I like with this software is the AI factor that generates accurate analytics regarding project monitoring and team members' performance.
Cons:
There were a few lags in loading the app, but unnoticeable.
Trial for Agile project went well
Comments: Has worked well for a small agile project with external contractors, keeps information related to a ticket and epic in the right place
Pros:
Easy to use and keeps track of ticket progress and comment threads
Cons:
Using on an iPad didn't work well when it came to customising the layout
Alternatives Considered: Jira
Reasons for Switching to Zoho Sprints: Already a Zoho user
