Zoho is great and you might also want to try www.octopuscity.com, another site that offers free CRM and contact management plus other free services like free teleconferencing. They're also integrating Web 2.0 features such as a business network that is tied in with your contacts list. It is definitely Salesforce.com’s market to lose.

Zoho CRM is not announcement-ware, it is used by real paying customers (<a href="http://sramanamitra.com/2007/07/15/happily-bootstrapping-zoho-ceo-sridhar-vembu-part-6/" rel="nofollow">3,000 businesses, 50,000 users</a>) including a good number of converts from salesforce.com, who obviously must have done some analysis before the move and found it worthwhile. I also know NetSuite users who went through a fairly detailed selection process and picked NetSuite over Salesforce.com. As for Microsoft, it's a new announcement, so we'll just have to wait and see, but I wouldn't simply write them off. How is ePlatform doing nowadays? Ramana,

I you think Zoho is competitive in feature list to salesforce CRM may be I need to relook at my competitive analysis workbook. ePlatform is not as nimble as some of your portfolio companies.

Zoho business apps require lot of depth before you can quality them as usable applications. There are not even in the Netsuite league which falls way short of salesforce and Microsoft application depth. Salesforce have nothing to worry from Microsoft announcement. They are just as short as Zoho is. Ramana Kovi Zoli
