From the very first time we tested Zoho Workplace, we knew ease of use was one of its biggest strengths. This collaboration software has a modern, intuitive design, and a smart consolidated dashboard layout. It’s clean and personalizable and, during our testing, we found that presented data was updated instantly.

We are impressed by the range of features this platform offers. To date, Zoho Workplace comprises nine applications, ranging from email, calendar, and meetings to office suite, work drive, task management, and team chat. What's really impressive is how well these applications are integrated. Once you upload a file in one of the nine apps, for example, Zoho Workplace automatically syncs apps, so you don’t have to bother with manual reuploading.

Compared to popular solutions like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, Zoho Workplace has fewer advanced features and less stable apps. However, pricing-wise, this vendor provides comparable foundational tools at a much better rate.

While not advertised on the official site, Zoho Workplace does have a free version you can use after signing up for a free trial. This plan comes with 5 users, each equipped with 5GB of storage, which is not bad at all. The only part we dislike about this freebie is that it allows for a mere 25MB of attachment storage.

You should also be aware that Zoho Workplace's mobile app isn't the best. Many users we talked to shared they often encountered glitches during app log-ins.
