UI on every Zoho Product is totally different WTF?????

UI on every Zoho Product is totally different WTF?????

I am trying to use Zoho for all my business needs but now I find out that the UI between Zoho books and Zoho CRM is totally different.

Zoho CRM has the menus along the top, Zoho Books has it down the side. If I issue a quote in Zoho CRM and convert it to an invoice everything looks totally different to issuing an invoice in Zoho Books even though all the information is the same. I also find that the sync between the two isn't automatic.

Even the icon used for "setup" is a totally different image. The major reason for trying to stick to Zoho for everything is:

1) Everything should be integrated and should work flawlessly together 
2) I don't have to relearn a new UI with every module I buy

Is this true for every Zoho product? As I write this I am using Zoho helpdesk, and I note that here they don't even have a "setup" button its a button with my name on it and then I have to click setup later. So this is a 3rd way to do it. They've also done their menus differently (along the top but right justified rather than left)

As I use more Zoho products am I going to find that every product implemented everything differently and that there is absolutely no consistency? What the hell? 

Why should I even buy more Zoho products, why don't I just get something like Sugar CRM or Pipedrive and then try to integrate it with my other systems - as all this stuff seems totally different what should I bother with buying more Zoho products?

      • 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
