The following items were identified as gaps, ambiguities, or areas requiring additional verification:
-
HIPAA compliance specifics: Zoho CRM's official HIPAA compliance documentation and the specific configurations required are not detailed in the publicly accessible help docs reviewed. Enterprise customers should contact Zoho directly for a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and compliance details.
-
Server-side SDK languages: The specific list of all supported programming languages for server-side SDKs is not enumerated in the docs page; only a general statement that multiple languages are supported. Developers should check the official SDK documentation at the time of implementation.
-
Multi-Module Lookup (native field type): A native "Multi-Module Lookup" field type is listed in the Data Model filter options, suggesting the feature exists. However, community threads from late 2025 indicate this is still on the roadmap rather than fully released. This requires verification against current field type availability in the layout editor.
-
Specific WCAG conformance level for Zoho CRM: Zoho Vault explicitly claims WCAG 2.1 Level AA; Zoho CRM's accessibility page does not state a specific WCAG level. The exact conformance level for CRM requires verification.
-
Data retention beyond 3 years in Audit Logs: The system retains 3 years of audit logs. Organizations with regulatory requirements beyond 3 years must implement external log archiving (export and store externally), as native retention is capped.
-
Backup restoration workflow: Native restoration from a backup ZIP file requires manual re-import module by module. There is no single-click "restore from backup" to a previous org state. Third-party tools fill this gap but are not native.
-
CommandCenter 2.0 for Professional edition: Stated as "planned for Professional to follow soon" as of mid-2025. Availability as of April 2026 should be verified directly.
-
Zoho Marketplace extension count: The count has grown rapidly (2,000+ in mid-2025, 2,500+ by January 2026). The current count as of April 2026 may be higher.
-
DeepSeek and SiliconFlow LLM availability: These LLMs in Smart Prompts are restricted to the CN (China) data center only; customers on other DCs cannot use them.
-
Kiosk Studio full capability matrix: The full list of available action types, decision logic capabilities, and module support for Kiosk Studio is not fully documented in sources reviewed; the feature is evolving rapidly across editions.
-
Canvas Print View for labels: Confirmed as a 2025 feature, but specific label size/format standards and integration with label printers are not detailed in publicly available documentation.
-
VoC data source integrations: Zia's VoC is confirmed to work with Google Analytics for behavioral data and has "soon from MixPanel" planned. The complete list of supported external data sources for VoC behavioral signals is not fully enumerated.
