Salesforce vs Zoho: The Reality

Posted on April 21, 2011 by Raju Vegesna

I just noticed this
tweet from @Sesiri who recently migrated from Salesforce to Zoho CRM.

In his blog post (I recommend reading the entire post), Sesiri talks about the email Salesforce sent explaining why Salesforce thinks they are better than Zoho. They had 5 points in the email. I believe some of these points are misguided or simply not true. I want to clarify these points in this post.

First, regarding commitment to CRM success

Zoho CRM is one of many applications offered by Zoho. Zoho’s parent company AdventNet, a provider of software development services, has also has invested in another CRM offering. How much innovation and focus on CRM success can be expected from such a diverse company with limited resources?

Thank you Salesforce for acknowledging our broad portfolio. Companies don’t run on CRM alone. They need various pieces of software to run their business efficiently.…

Case Study: How Zoho Reports Helps Optimize Globo’s TV Programming

Posted on April 20, 2011 by Arvind

Globo, which is currently the largest commercial television network of Latin America and the third largest in the world (after CBS and NBC), uses Zoho Reports to analyze viewership data about videos and TV shows in its TV and cable TV divisions. Globo is watched by an estimated 120 million people daily.

Here’s what Alexandre Oppermann, Globo’s Business Intelligence Co-ordinator – Web Analytics, had to say about Zoho Reports:

Using Zoho Reports, we generate reports and dashboards that reveal the daily and monthly views of each show and video in its TV and cable TV divisions. Currently, Globo has 40 people actively using Zoho Reports to report against 8.5 million rows of data. And this data set is growing continuously as we aggregate more data everyday.

Compared to our earlier solutions, Zoho Reports gives us flexibility.

Zoho Mail is Now Open For Business!

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Hari Murali

Two years ago, we made Zoho Mail public for free personal use and we are happy with the reception and feedback we have gotten so far. For example, we recently won the Reader’s choice award for The Best Free Email Service 2011. Now, we are taking another big step in our quest to bring the best hosted email to our customers.

Today, we’re opening Zoho Mail for businesses. What took us so long? We wanted to make sure the product was right. Business and professional users have come to expect the rich functionality from their desktop email client and the no-hassles, fast, accessible-anywhere convenience of web-based email.

Now, you no longer have to make a choice between the lesser of two evils: either burning a hole in your wallet with a full-featured, expensive email solution or settle for a web-based, affordable email service with bare minimum features.…

New Desktop Plugin for Zoho Assist!

Posted on April 14, 2011 by Saravana Raja

Zoho Assist was initially dependent on Zoho Meeting to start a remote session from the desktop. Now, with it’s own new and sleek desktop plugin, Zoho Assist has empowered itself to start sessions from the desktop with a single click.

Browser independence is one of the core features of this new plugin. It runs in the task menu and requires very less memory footprint, i.e., it will not eat your system resources while still being handy in establishing a robust remote session. Another major feature is the Auto-Updation. This will help users to enjoy the new features without any manual updation troubles. One can also resume the previous session with a single click. (you don’t need to create a fresh session every time, thereby saving time)

This Zoho Assist plugin is presently available for Microsoft Windows only. We’ll be releasing the other OS versions soon.…
