Serious question: Are there actually "solo-preneurs"/small business owners who made Zoho-one work well for them?
L.S.
After already many years of continued struggle with Zoho-One, I am seriously wondering if there are actually solo-preneurs (one person small business owners - without a large, dedicated IT dept.) who got it (Zoho-One) to work well for their businesses.
Sometimes it seems that Zoho-One, instead of helping me is becoming almost like a fulltime (and never ending!) endeavor to make it work. I find myself using fewer Zoho-One apps in the course of time, instead of more. I am not writing this to be negative, after all I am still here, but because I am frustrated and tired: nothing really works, nothing is really integrated, nothing goes automatically, nothing goes easily!
Customer service is friendly and well-willing, but they never seem to carry me to the finish-line. So all issues are (almost) never fully resolved. Even worse: Issues that--after much time and effort--are resolved become buggy, or stop working after a while (like: Zoho-Books stopped synchronizing with my bank, so the bank-feeds stopped and Zoho-Mail suddenly stopped synchronizing with certain email accounts, etc.).
I own and run several small businesses, which is already a full-time affair. I really cannot spent so much time continuously corresponding, being on the phone, being in remote help-sessions with Zoho.
Right now, I am really only using Zoho-Mail and Docs, and even these don't function well: Mail has suddenly (and stubbornly) stopped syncing with several email addresses, so I still use other email-platforms as well and Docs only works on one of my computers.
Zoho-One is supposed to help my work, not become my work!
So, this is a serious question: Are there actually solo-preneurs, like me, that managed to create a fully functioning system with Zoho-One in which everything runs smoothly, all, or many apps are integrated and functional in a way that it supports their business?

How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?
A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk) In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only. The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
