What do you like best about Zuora?

Pretty straight forward application and user interface. Works well with basic setups. For basic subscriptions the system works well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

No flexibility for custom schedules. Cannot handle multiple currencies for a single client. Have to create too many work-arounds to get billing completed. Out of the box compadibility with other products is only one way. Need to attach other products to ensure proper functionality. Lack of system controls and history for changes and updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Make sure to test all scenarios that will be utilized with this Product. Also test instance where you would need to investigate a certain invoice or payment across systems, ie. SalesForce to Zuora or Zuora to the ERP, especially if there is a change from the original quote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

Subscription billing. Simple process and for the most part it does work well with basic subscriptions. It works with majority of our subscriptions however it causes too many issues with the remainig part of our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

It allows you to view your customer's usage and rated amount with discounts, free tier and overage in real time. Great use case for upselling customers and notifying them if they past their contractual rate so they are not surprised of large invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

No support yet for large scale usage models and requires usage to be aggregated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

SaaS usage based billing for customers that have prepaid amounts, free tiers and overage billings. The platform makes it easy to implement billing rules for usage based customers and future changes to rules and pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

Really appreciate the efficiencies Zuora offers. As a team that touches billing and accounting, we're huge fans of Zuora billing and are in the process of implementing Zuora Rev Pro. There are some features that are missing, but Zuora does a good job keeping its customers informed on what's in the pipeline and what they're working on improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

The support process could be a little more seamless - I find it difficult sometimes to get insightful responses about issues I'm having with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mass subscription billing/ revenue recognition/ ASC 606. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

Out of the box, Zuora offers a large feature set with a lot of functionality. Based on your specific requirements, you may or may not be able to use it out of the box -- or more likely, you may need to make customizations to the software, process, or your way of doing business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

The training and technical documentation are better than most software providers I've used before; however, there are too many things that are not well-explained (or even explained a lot), that can result in frustration in implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Zuora CPQ to standardize our Quoting process and sync the new billing information to Zuora. We are using Zuora to invoice customers and manage their subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Missing features for larger, public, companies like and admin audit trail, portable tenant configurations for testing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Review your internal business processes before officially starting the implementation; for us this was 2 year journey before we could start implementing Zuora. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

Core billing enabling us to bill 1 time per month. We have been able to achieve that and reduced overall hours spent each month on the billing function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the continual innovation that is delivered to my clients. The application is every evolving and keeping its customers in mind. I love the new CPQ functionality and it is very user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

The sales reps dont stay in touch with its clients. When it is time to upgrade clients are often confused on how they can improve their environment. Clients really need more affordable help and training for upgrading their environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

When implementing have a real POC with little to no customization in order to make an educated decision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am a consultant and I implement Zuora for several enterprise clients to handle quoting, billing and payments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

One thing that's great is how it can integrate with all of our software. It can integrate with Salesforce and our admin software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

It seems outdated. There are also many clicks I have to make to accomplish a small task. Of all the software I have used for work, it is easily the one that took the most training. I still don't have it figured out a few months in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

I haven't seen any updates to the look or any improvements for making it more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

Trying to make our data and tracking of what customers are paying for simpler, but we haven't really gotten that out of it quite yet. Hopeful we will once it is fully implemented. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the capability of customizing each account to fit each customer and not having to worry about information changing. Also like the reporting and payment Lockbox. Very easy to use and saves a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

I did not like that you did not have the flexibilty to move payments and create credit or debit memos but you are offering that now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Take time to learn the system and everything it has to offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customer pricing is easier to track, billing issues we had in the past with our old system in example price changes due to human error in uploading or adding new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

What i like best about Zuora is the fact that it is pretty intuitive and it streamlined a lot of our billing and payment processes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

I dislike some of the reports in Zuora - we are having to customize a lot of reports. And there is also not a general search option. You have to go to each section in order to search for transactions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

Business problems that we are having are just setting everything up and determining new business processes that we need. The benefits are still becoming recognized as we learn the system. A lot of our manual AR processes are becoming more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

I really like the future state of what RevPro will be. With integration from Zuora Central would make adopting the new accounting standards really great! The new Zuora Orders features will seemless bring in revenue contract data in RevPro and allow automation of revenue recognition. No more manual spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

I highly recommend upgrading to the latest UI. It is much faster and more modern. We are currently using the current UI and it is not as intuitive as we need it for our accounting folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zuora solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving on cutting down on the number of days it takes to close on month end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
