Last week, Lifehacker had a post comparing Zoho and Google with a poll asking users which suite they prefer between Zoho and Google. The results looks interesting....
Overall, more than 43% of the users prefer Google just because they already have an account with them. More than 18% of users never heard about Zoho.
From a total of 1417 votes, 361 people tried both these services and chose one to other based on their experience. Of these, close to 70% preferred Zoho to Google. We find this stat particularly interesting and encouraging as we see more users seeing better value after trying our apps.
Other stats (like having an account already) change overtime and its a matter of time and value offered by a new vendor like us. I am sure Google had the same stat once upon a time against Yahoo and Microsoft. We know how that changed over time as they stacked more value to the user. Similarly, over time as users see value in these services, they'll have a reason to create an account. If the current version of Zoho is not compelling enough for you, one of our future versions will be.
On a separate note, InformationWeek has an article comparing Zoho and Google to MS Office.
