Comments from contributors who selected Zoho as one of their Top 10 tools in 2009

  • A truly amazing tool that allows you to mashup different web content in ways never seen before on a web page. Barry Dahl
  • Zoho Creator and Zoho DB and Reports work together to provide a complete Web 2.0 database tool.  Together, the two tools provide just about everything that Microsoft Access offers plus ease of use.  Use Zoho Creator to create your database.  Import data into Zoho DB & Reports to crunch and analyze data.  Both are simple to use, web-based, and you can share your database with others, both privately and openly.  I am using Zoho Creator and Zoho DB & Reports to build two databases for research projects.  So far, everything has worked extremely well.  Rick Lillie

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

  • "I use Zoho Sheet (and actually many of the Zoho 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."  Rick Lillie

  • "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 computerHarold Shaw

Comments from contributors who selected Zoho as one of their Top 10 tools in 2007

  • "This online office package has everything--word processor, spreadsheet, presentation package, wiki, notebook, chat, and more. It's light years ahead of Google's online documents and spreadsheets."  Dennis Coxe
  • "You're office online for free. Zoho offers good features, like plugins for MS Office, online collaboration, etc.More complete than Google Docs and easy to use just the same"  Edwin Mijnsbergen
  • "This application is very sophisticated for those who need the best but also modulates so that it is accessible for all customers.  Creator takes away the hardest part of annecdotal data which is the establishment and maintenance the databases.  Simply create your data collection files and then create any number of reports from that particular area.  Forms and reports can be into websites and blogs to perform data collection and subsequent reporting"  Dave Lee
