Zoho Writer Review

PROS: I really like how may types of documents I can make with this program, considering that it is web-based. I can do collaborative projects on it, and have my work be available online so that other team members can take a look at it and put in their own ideas, comments, and suggestions. We can all modify it and have those modifications appear quickly so we can come up with the best possible result. Or if I'm working alone, it has enough features that enable me to come up with a presentation that is really eye-catching and able to hold the audience's attention.

CONS: I do wish that the storage capacity for the free version was larger. Larger storage space requires payment, and I don't have enough money to do so. It would also be nice if they added an option that would let me work offline because where I am doesn't always have an internet connection.

PROS: I haven't been using this software for long but I can really say that it's been a great tool, with a lot of features that are really useful considering it's a web-based tool. I can embed different types of media, I'm able to implement formatting that makes my documents easy on the eyes, and I've also been able to place images in my work. Its features for collaboration are also great and have really helped me and my team come up with things like press releases and blog posts. Those collaboration features have also made it easy for us to find solutions and resolve any issues we might be facing.

CONS: Since it's part of a suite of products, the only way to really use it at its full power is to also get the other products in the suite. Of course, if you're a small company with a limited budget, I can understand why this isn't possible. But I think this is only a negative if you really need to use those other features. As a word processor, it is already good and serviceable on its own, so if you're only looking for a word processor, this is already enough.

PROS: Honestly, I didn't know anything about this software before I started using it so I didn't know what to expect. The interface is really simple, which made it easier for me to grasp. I also really liked that despite how simple it looks, it's got all the features that I need for my job. The fact that it is web-based is also a big plus for me since I can take my work with me wherever I am and ensure that all my deadlines are met. It's also got a Microsoft Word integration, which is really helpful in my line of work. I also find it really easy to send out completed work with this software, where it is reports, letters, or documents.

CONS: One thing I do wish they changed was the small amount of files that I could save when using the free version. I think they can increase that. Otherwise, I don't really think there is anything about this software that I dislike.

PROS: There are a number of things that I appreciate about this program. For one thing, it's an online suite, so I can use it anywhere so long as I have an internet connection. But at the same time, I can also save on a local hard drive, so I can continue my work even if I am offline. It's also able to work with a number of file formats, whether it's a word, HTML, PDF, or what have you, which saves a lot of time because you don't need to convert files to start working on them. It's got an interface that is intuitive, and I can also keep my folders organized when I'm exporting documents. I can also head to other website and import documents from there. Another thing I like is the customization options available to me when I work on a document, as well as the option to apply similar formatting to a group of documents simultaneously. I also like how I can share documents with other people but at the same time, ensure that only those people I send it to can see it, thanks to access permissions that the software provides.

CONS: I'd like to see a few improvements to this software. For one thing, while it has a spell checker, it doesn't check my work as I type. I think it would be a really helpful addition if they change this. Saving on the cloud also has some drawbacks, such as me being unable to organize folders or create a document under my own name. If they change this up in future versions of the software, I really think they can bring this already great software into another level.

PROS: What I found that was really a standout feature of this software is that it's free for up to 50 users, so for a small company such as ours, it is a really big help. The fact that it's web-based also makes it easy for me and members of the team to keep up with work, whatever device it is we're using or wherever we may be. This has been really good for our productivity. The software also recently made it possible to import files from Word, which is yet another feature that makes our work easier and flow much more smoothly. That new feature has also made it easier for me and my teammates to collaborate with each other.

CONS: I do wish that the prices they have for this software was localized. Once you exceed 50 users you have to pay for the software, and the price is in dollars. Any change in the dollar value against our currency could potentially result in a higher price tag. If it had a localized price, it would not be so daunting to pay for the software.

PROS: I really like how great it is for teamwork. Since it is web-based, I and my team members don't have to install a specific program just so we can work together. It's got all the features of a word processor, allowing us to edit documents, change text and formatting, as well as check spelling and grammar. And it also has tools perfect for collaboration, such as a chat function, and an online sharing fun that lets teammates add inputs, comments, and ideas. Sending it over to supervisors is also easy, so feedback can be delivered as soon as possible.

CONS: There are a couple of things that I think can still be improved on. For one thing, I can't really see any changes that are being made by my coworkers while they're doing it, and I can see that potentially resulting in some redundant changes. And while I do appreciate it being web-based, it does make it difficult when there is a lousy connection or you just happen to be in a place that doesn't have any internet at all. I think these are things they can address in future versions of the software.
