What do you like best about Zuora?

Simple to setup, flexible pricing options, creative pricing models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

Z-Quotes is evolving but is not as customizable without code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Be sure to demo your actual use cases to ensure that the product meets the need. The product is great and flexible but it will not support every single use case out of the box. Ensure that custom options are available for your use cases if the out of the box functionality does not take care of your requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our business needed a billing and payments platform for the new B2C business we launched.

What do you like best about Zuora?

Can handle a lot of bill runs (we have a lot of small value customers).

Good at quikcly changing prices

Easy for sales team to build quotes

Locks down month end reporting and recognises revenue automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zuora?

The company is big, make that MASSIVE, on marketing and that always worries me. I attended their Subscribed Event and nearly vomited on the sickly sweet "we're so excited about our new launch" and then proceeded to announce nothing materially interesting to us.

Here are some more specifics:

- Revenue recognition rules are pretty basic

- It doesn't deal with Currency conversion

- Usage uploads work only after 5-10 attempts with no obvious reason why and then get recorded as £0 recurring revenue (despite recurring)

- OneTime products look clunky on invoices (they get given a single date as the time period, which is wrong) and clutter the list of subscriptions (which ones are active vs OneTime?)

- If you are using SFDC it can't report historic metrics like MRR

- No data uploader Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Zuora:

Build your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Selling-oriented, make high promises, do not deliver solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
