Thank you for this post... I enjoyed it. As a certifed partner we are lacking better support from ZOHO on technical issues and even bug. Also so far we do not know how to centralize all our demand. I have done a demand now here https://www.zoho.com/partners/support-form-new.html ... i will see if the support is good ;-). www.mobix.fr
