Zoho Workplace
Zoho Workplace brings together business email, calendars, file management, office editors, conferencing, calling, messaging, tasks, voice, and employee engagement tools. Workplace Standard includes Mail, Calendar, WorkDrive, ToDo, Writer, Sheet, Show, Cliq, Meeting, Vault, Directory, and ZeptoMail; Standard and Professional plans list the Zia AI assistant. Its editors work with existing Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files. A built-in migration tool can transfer mail, contacts, calendars, and notes from Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, while split delivery lets part of an organization migrate first. Several included desktop apps have macOS and Windows clients, and WorkDrive Desktop Sync also supports Ubuntu Linux. The free Mail plan allows up to five users on one custom domain with 5 GB of mail storage per user, but does not include IMAP, POP, or Active Sync. The pricing note lists paid plans from $3/user/mo (annual) and a 15-day trial. Zoho says Cliq encrypts data in transit and at rest, and Vault uses zero-knowledge architecture and AES-256 encryption.
