Comments from contributors who selected Zoho as
one of their Top 10 tools in 2008
-

Services) for sharing spreadsheet in e-learning
asynchronous activities"
Laurent Janolin
-
"a useful bunch of tools for
collaborative work online."
Maria R Malmierca

"Zoho Witer - Simply the best online
word processor and integrates well with the rest of
the Zoho suite"
Barry Dahl
-
"Zoho Creator
is a free Web 2.0 database tool. It is not as full
featured as Microsoft Access; however, it is simple
to use, web-based, and you can share your database
with others, both privately and openly. I use Zoho
Creator to create and maintain a 400+ research
article database that supports my writing efforts."

"Zoho is a rather complete web-based
office suite that I like better than Google
Documents. It has a word processor, spreadsheet,
presentation, database, wiki, note-taker, planner,
and even a project manager. I can build a Powerpoint-style
presentation and embed it directly into my website
with ease. I recommend it to my students for
collaboration on group projects."
Don Simmons

"a suite
of online web applications"
Adelina Moura
-
"Lots of applications and I can
access stuff from anywhere and any computer
