< Continued from page 4
About.com Rating
Working with a team is easy using Zoho Docs Online Office Apps, but watch out for these limitations in convenience and customization tools. Pricier plans may offer more features than base plans.
The following are rated on a scale of Excellent, Good, or Poor.
Cloud Integration: Excellent
The Zoho Docs Office Online Apps are part of the larger Zoho Cloud. Users can also opt to invite others with the possibility of earning additional storage space.
See page 2 of this review for how much cloud storage comes with each account tier.
Synchronous Collaborative Editing: Excellent
Zoho Docs offers real-time editing. Different editors' changes on the same document are shown with color coded cursors.
Online to Offline Editing: Excellent
Users can sync files between their Windows desktop and Zoho Docs cloud by going to Settings - Storage Details - Get Zoho Docs for Windows.
Social Sharing: Poor
Document sharing is possible with email groups and contacts but not right to social networks.
Design Themes and Templates: Good
Design themes are not a focus in Zoho Office. If you are used to these presets, you may find yourself frustrated. I could find templates for Zoho Writer only. At the time of this review, about 100 templates are available, but the lack of template libraries for Sheet or Show was unfortunate.
Add-ins and Apps: Good
I found only a few plug-ins for Zoho Online Office Apps, and also could not locate a central listing or library of plug-ins, but Zoho Online is part of an online ecosystem of more than 20 apps.
A Final Recommendation for Zoho Online Office Apps
Please know that this review summarizes features I feel consumers are most concerned with when selecting office software suite for home or business use. Please refer to this manufacturer's site before finalizing your download or purchase.
