Cliq is one of my most used applications at work. It is the primary source of communication in our telehealth network. I also use it as a helpful tool for employee and network management. We utilize the ability to direct message, create channels, and have group messages frequently. In addition the pin feature is very helpful for easy reference of important messages. While you can hold meetings in Cliq, I prefer google meets as Cliq is sometimes buggy.
Pros: I love the variety of features and permission sets. It is very helpful with a larger group of employees as a manager. The features I use most include calls, channel creation, pinning messages for organization, monitoring the network communication.
Cons: I think that it can be quite buggy at times with profile pics glitching or not loading messages. Its also sometimes difficult to scroll back through past chats as you can only go back to a date not a time.
Mallory S. · Clinical Operations Manager · Hospital & Health Care · March 17, 2026
A great alternative to Slack. Very similar user interface, integrates nicely with the rest of the Zoho ecosystem.
Pros: Clean interface, easy to update settings, like how easy it is to invite new people to the platform. Easy to create channels and direct messages for different topcis.
Cons: Wish I didn't have to use MarkDown for some formatting, it's not how I think about formatting vs. some sort of easy to use tool bar to make the text more easily formatted.

Overall I'd say this is a very good app, I used it to communicate with clients and it worked well, no real complaint
Pros: The mobile feature, it's almost similar to slack And very responsive, a very good tool in my opinion
Cons: Sometimes I might go offline and I don't hear when a message comes in, not ignoring or ntn, just not updated and it causes conflict
Anonymous User · Support specialist · Entertainment · February 6, 2026
Video calls make client demos a breeze, file sharing is ideal for design assets, and we've cut down on email noise substantially. Security permissions allow us to manage client access to sensitive channels without closing off open team comms.
Pros: Zoho Cliq's threaded conversations and group chats categorize our dev discussions by project. Screen sharing on code reviews is as open as day, and message search allows us to find technical choices from weeks past when debugging client problems.
Cons: High learning curve compared to Slack, and some messaging features feel clunky compared to alternatives.
Calvin P. · Sales and Solutions Manager · Information Technology and Services · August 20, 2025
We use Cliq for small informal projects that come and go over time; and have diverse team members.
Pros: It makes it easy to create a channel for a project, that provides for efficient sharing of data to all project members. Offers excellent privacy and flexibility.
Cons: The Mobile App version is buggy. The learning curve is a burden at the beginning.
Wes P. · Principal Software Engineer · Computer Software · May 12, 2025
It has been seamless, great customer support, and little to no technical issues. It has been a real pleasure.
Pros: Easy navigation allowed for a seamless experience with a team of 5 developers and 2 managers.
Cons: That it's not decentralized to allow me to have more certainty nothing will be stolen or compromised.
William C. · CEO · Online Media · April 29, 2025
Overall, Zoho Cliq is a good communication platform, particularly for teams that already use the Zoho suite.
Pros: Zoho Cliq is simple to use, integrates seamlessly with other Zoho applications, and provides real-time messaging with customizable channels.
Cons: Some of the features, such as voice/video calling, are not as refined or stable as those of rivals like Slack or Microsoft Teams.
Chinna Siva Krishna T. · MERN STACK Developer · Education Management · April 28, 2025
Zoho Cliq was really good platform anyway
Pros: Easy to use for team communication and collaboration
Cons: Less familiar with this platform for the first time
Cornelius Tian Andi S. · Owner · Farming · April 14, 2025
For some who uses Zoho products, this is a good tool to buy it integrates well with the other Zoho applications. There are some small issues with this but with the cost and features available it make it a solid contender.
Pros: The interface is easy to use and navigate. Like all Zoho products it integrates into the zoho ecosystem. The pricing is very affordable compared to other options on the market
Cons: Zoho Cliq sometimes freezes in meetings and on the mobile app, this needs to be fixed but it is not a regular occurrence. There can be a delay on notification in the mobile app
Daniel T. · IT Engineer · Automotive · April 7, 2025
Excellent tool for communication within an organization.
Pros: Fast, efficient communication with staff and associates.
Cons: Being included in group chains you have no interest in.
Skip R. · Owner · Maritime · March 23, 2025
I’ve had a fantastic experience with Zoho Cliq! It’s such a user-friendly and affordable tool for staying connected with my team. From group chats to file sharing and video calls, it really has everything we need. I definitely recommend it!
Pros: It's a much more affordable alternative to other team communication platforms.
Cons: Integrates well with other Zoho apps, however, other than that, there are very few integration options available. They could do better.
Aleksandra P. · Marketing Specialist · Marketing and Advertising · March 5, 2025
Overall good experience, integration to the ZohoCRM was the priority
Pros: Easy to use, integrated into ZohoCRM, low cost
Cons: Nothing comes to mind about negative features
Anonymous User · Director · Media Production · February 16, 2025
Good tool, simple and with good design, very user friendly. Never had an issue with this when it came to internal meetings.
Pros: I could call my coworkers even though we were in different countries in a very easy way, practical for phone calls, like prospecting.
Cons: Is not very known with other enterprises so its complex to be able to connect through this platforms with other companies.
Elena S. · Marketing Manager · Biotechnology · February 13, 2025
Overall, we have had a great experience since we started using Zoho Cliq. Its user interface makes it easy to use both on the web and mobile apps. We also love that it is integrated into other Zoho tools and we can extend its functionalities using extensions. Another great feature about it is how you can start a messaging thread from a video conference call and the messages are persisted after the call ends. Aside from the hiccups we encountered when integrating with our custom system, we have had a wonderful experience using Cliq.
Pros: Zoho Cliq is a very good alternative to other messaging and collaboration tools. I like that it has a rich set of features for free! It allows for quick collaboration and instant messaging for both small and large teams and has a host of extensions that allow a user to extend its functionalities.
Cons: This is a great tool with lots of features but what we found lacking was proper documentation on how to extend some parts of it. We tried to integrate our external tool to post to Cliq and we had to dig through quite a handful of documentation to make some headway.
Adebayo A. · Engineering Lead · Health, Wellness and Fitness · February 12, 2025
Positive! We use it to communicate with our agents, it works very well.
Pros: The UI is very self explanatory, comparable to Teams but easier to navigate in my opinion.
Cons: There's nothing I can think of that I dislike about Cliq.
Mia A. · Recruitment Coordinator · Telecommunications · January 27, 2025
Overall experience with Zoho Cliq is good it provides a solid platform for team collaboration with useful features like channels, calls, and file sharing.
Pros: Zoho Cliq gives communication with features like channels, audio/video calls, and screen sharing, making team collaboration efficient. Its robust data retention secure and organized management of business communication.
Cons: Zoho Cliq's user interface bit difficult, especially with multiple channels and integrations.
Harsh L. · Developer · Computer Software · January 24, 2025
It was a great experience! I loved the functionalities but yet again looks sort of overwhelming with the features and sometimes I dont know where to look but it is a great product with a lot of functionalities.
Pros: It enables me customise my Workspace. It has a lot of functionalities like I can set reminders from conversation, set a meeting from that same conversation. That's really cool.
Cons: It has a lot of functionalities that one needs to explore more.
Anne K. · Strategy and Operations Officer · Hospitality · January 19, 2025
Es genial que zoho integre una herramienta propia para mantener comunicado al equipo de trabajo
Pros: Excelente herramienta de comunicación interna entre colaboradores
Cons: Necesitas un plan superior para tener la herramienta adicional
Lizbeth M. · Customer sucess · Internet · January 5, 2025
We have used Zoho Cliq to chat with colleagues over message and audio and it has greatly improved our communication with each other.
Pros: It is a great platform for instant messaging your colleagues. It's quicker than emails for less formal and urgent communications.
Cons: Sometimes, it can get a bit disorganized when we have a lot of group chats.
Connor S. · Brokerage Operations Associate · Financial Services · November 29, 2024
Pros: La fonction de messagerie instantanée a rendu la communication d’équipe ultra rapide et efficace.
Cons: Parfois, l'application mobile peut être un peu lente à charger.
Alexandra W. · Facilities Manager · Computer Software · August 7, 2024
Pros: Zoho Cliq is an important part of our business. It empowers our team to have real time communication with a simple to use platform. The thread functionality makes it easy to stay organized.
Cons: The learning curve to find messages took a bit for some of our users, but now it has become second nature.
Omid A. · Solutions Engineer · Computer Hardware · May 30, 2024
Zoho Cliq has made life easy for me by helping do my activities remotely and at my own comfort.
Pros: The amazing Video calls that link me with my clients and the ability to chat and have meetings in one platform. Zoho Cliq is easy to use.
Cons: No dislike what's so ever with this platform.
Aloice M. · Administrator · Information Technology and Services · May 10, 2024
It's really a useful team communication software, we can do instant chat with the team members. We can update our availability status to the team members.
Pros: Zoho Cliq is easy to deploy. Zoho Cliq integrates perfectly with other Zoho softwares like Zoho CRM, Zoho People. Zoho Cliq mobile version is very useful to chat with team members at break time.
Cons: Everything is good about Zoho Cliq, nothing to mention as dislike about Zoho Cliq.
Anonymous User · Demand Generation Specialist · Computer Software · April 21, 2024
I enjoyed using Zoho cliq for communication and also you can set when you are available or away on the app.
Pros: The functionality of scheduling chat for a later time.
Cons: You need an email to sign up on the service unlike other messaging platforms.
Abraham I. · Digital Advertiser · Marketing and Advertising · December 28, 2023
Zoho Cliq provides increased productivity, streamlined workflows and better communication with teams and organizations thus offering users and organizations a more efficient, flexible, and organized way to work together.
Pros: Zoho Cliq has made the communication in my enterprise exponentially simple, by the way it is designed even a toddler would be able to use it with ease.Secondly the customer support that Zoho offers is miles ahead compared to other communication softwares. They are always reliable and their team are really well versed in what they're doing.Since the inception of my enterprise I've been using Zoho Cliq and I can confidently say that I frequently use the product. Apart from that it also has numerous features that has really helped me in many ways
Cons: The only thing that I dislike about the product is that it has limited team collaboration tools, which at times causes problems when the team tries to collaborate on a big project.
