Zoho mail

[tony84]

Does anyone use this?
I have been looking at it as we use Zoho workdrive and we need to sort out our email as google will no longer allow us to use our own domains on gmail unless we pay for it - thats fine, but I might as well take the opportunity to review the options.

Is it reliable?
Easy enough to set up?

Yes, we use Zoho. Reliable, not had an issue with it.

Straightfoward to set up as far as I remember, been over 2 years now, but documentation online so not an issue either.

Zoho Mail works it's security is basic and options to do enterprise stuff is none existent and definitely a downgrade from Google workspace or 365 in regards to functionality and security. It works but you would downgrade.

Hi Nico - interested in the security aspect: what can 365 or google do that Zoho can't?

Thanks

I use Zoho mail and think its great, even on the free plan. Unlike Outlook and Gmail it doesn't have native integration with calendar tools or other common software but they're a good starter provider and reliable.

That being said, I'll be moving to one of the others in the near future for the above reason as well as to upgrade my video calling tool

Zoho Mail offers a free level for domain based email, like Google, which does a good job.

A valid replacement for Google email.

Just to clarify, in my case it would be one of the paid plans.

What makes their security any worse than microsofts/googles?

The difference is that Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace operate as full security ecosystems, not just email platforms. They integrate identity security, advanced phishing and malware protection, attachment sandboxing, real-time link analysis, threat intelligence, behavioural detection, incident investigation tools, and broader security monitoring across accounts, devices, and services.
In simple terms:
Zoho provides mail security features.
Microsoft and Google provide integrated security platforms.

Zoho provides mail security features.
Microsoft and Google provide integrated security platforms designed to detect and respond to modern threats much earlier.
