Zoho CRM vs. Along

Zoho CRM is a cloud-based 360° customer relationship management tool that caters to business needs of mid-scale businesses to large-scale enterprises. Key features include contact management, sales funnels, pipeline management, workflow automation, AI-powered conversational assistant, task management, managing marketing campaigns, sales forecasting, customer support & service, inventory management, reporting & analytics, and seamlessly integrating with 500+ popular business apps in a single business system.

Along is a collaborative workspace for complex B2B sales. Like a virtual desk between sellers and buyers, the tool connects all stakeholders in a single interface. A shared task list (Mutual Action Plan) is used as a central guideline for all content as well as participants or other information of the deal. Using tracking and analytics, sales reps get completely new insights into the buyer behaviour and can better understand at which point they have to optimize or why prospects are churning.
