How we would actually choose
Choose Salesforce when extensibility and an enormous partner ecosystem is the property your workload depends on, and accept that licence cost and accumulated customisation that slows every change.
Choose Zoho when cost and breadth, CRM, books, desk and people in one estate matters more, accepting that depth per module trails the category leaders.
In practice most production systems we build use both, routed by task. Standardising on one option for tidiness usually costs more than the tidiness is worth.
Orqent Labs holds no reseller commission on Salesforce or Zoho. We benchmark both on your workload and report what the numbers say.
