I used zoho for a few years in our org. We started on the free zoho plan then transitioned to paid. As we hired more, we got a lot of requests for people to switch to gsuite, and we finally did a few months ago. Now we have both side by side.
Main reasons people wanted gsuite
- gmail UI preference (Zoho webmail ui is feature-complete but clunky and slow)
- perceived email deliverability (people thought gsuite would be better for deliverability. We haven't seen much difference in reality though)
- preference for google drive + docs over zoho workdrive + docs. This is not just due to familiarity -- the features for google are smoother and more reliable. It seems fine to use zoho but when you are losing saved drafts or having to doubele-check the technology or don't know where thee buttons are for something, productivity losses add up over time
