What do you like best about Zuora?

We moved to Zuora from an on-prem solution that was cumbersome to use, complex to understand and very inflexible to the new requirements.

The best features of Zuora are:

1. Easy to crrate a custom workflow with custom product families, rate plans and subscriptions

2. Easy integration with Salesforce

3. Easy access to customer details, subscriptions and invoices

4. Insightful reporting and analytics

5. Sandbox Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

1. Zuora is inflexible when it comes to highly custom requirements - they suggest to use their professional services which makes their entire offering expensive

2. The support is good but it takes longer to resolve an issue Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

1. Improve support. It's not best use of customer's time to read through the knowledge base all the time to come up with the solution.

2. Minimize the dependency on the professional services Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

1. streamlining the Quote to cash workflow through automation

2. We have reduced the time it used to take us from quoting to realizing the revenue, but we do believe, there is room for further improvement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Figuring out an error and how to fix it can be a lengthy process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

The excellent level of support from every arm of the organization. From sales to implementation, to support and customer success management, it feels like Zuora values its customers and does not shy away from tough questions. In addition, the system is intuitive and easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

With a rapidly growing company like Zuora, sometimes necessary features seem far away from production. For example, we are expanding our international offerings and some features (such as translated product names, VAT fields, etc.) are either not yet developed, or in limited beta. Despite this, I will give Zuora positive feedback for allowing companies easy access to betas if the features are needed for business operation.

Additionally, its REST API is lacking, and even simple functions have to be done via SOAP. This leads to less responsive and flexible e-commerce and and custom integrations.

Reports and reporting are less than adequate. However, Zuora is investing a tremendous amount of money and resources into fixing this, and it seems that the new solution, Z-Spotlight, will address most of these issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Be very clear in your business requirements and make sure that Zuora has the features you expect and need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are transforming our traditional sales offerings into a complex SaaS portfolio, helping our customers take advantage of only what they need through different tiers of service made possible through Zuora's system of products and rate plans. In addition, the system has the flexibility to handles multiple rate plans and products on a subscription, so we can up-sell support or license add on, so a customer can adjust their level of engagement at any time.

What do you like best about Zuora?

I love that Zuora allows us to put clients into batches, this allows for easier invoicing. We can put clients who pay via credit into a credit card batch, clients who pay external into a external batch. Zuora makes invoicing quick and easy! Zuora can send automated email notifications to clients and they recently implemented dunning emails which has been very helpful. Zuora has excellent support that is ready to assist anytime, they are very quick to respond to any issues or questions that might come up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

Zuora needs to improve reporting features. Currently the reports are data dumps and take a while to get the information you really need/want. I would like to see improvements in the reporting features that Zuora offers. Currently Zuora allows customers to create their own invoice templates, this is a great feature, however I wish making the templates were easier and more streamlined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Zuora is great at listening to their user’s feedback and working to implement suggested improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We save so much time using Zuora! It is so quick and easy to navigate, it is really user friendly, easy to learn, easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zuora?

I'm not on the finance team, so I mainly use Zuora to look up my clients' subscriptions and invoices. Its very easy to quickly find any information I'm looking for. I can also edit minor details that may have been input incorrectly when creating the subscription (which I do in Salesforce). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

I'm not as heavy a user as someone on, say, the billing team would be. So, for my needs, there isn't really anything I would change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

If you want your Account Managers to have easy insight into outstanding invoices, payment history, and subscription status, this is a great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It helps me easily track client payments, invoices, and subscriptions. I can also easily pull invoices to resend to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We implement recurring subscription based pricing models for multiple products on the Zuora Platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
