Why Has Zoho Been So Unreliable In Production

Why Has Zoho Been So Unreliable In Production

Over the last few months, we have experienced repeated serious production problems with Zoho - each of which Zoho admits was their fault.  Why can't Zoho understand the importance of protecting their users who have applications in production.

In mid-March, the link between Zoho and Paypal failed and Zoho was not being updated with Paypal transaction information.  According to the problem resolution that I received from Zoho Support, the problem was traced to a new server that was put on-line at Zoho that hadn't been properly prepped.  According to Zoho Support, this problem impacted hundreds of Zoho customers.

Last week, we had a situation in which input fields on forms were not showing in either IE or Firefox (under Windows).  According to the support followup, the problem was due to a change to the Zoho software (not my app but rather the software that is the Zoho system).  Again, according to Zoho Support, this problem impacted hundreds of Zoho customers.

Last night, a change to Zoho software resulted in completely different font face and font size for HTML views when printed or downloaded.  One of my clients, like hundreds of others, suddenly had his forms printing out of spec, which was a disaster for him because his forms have to meet a mandated government standard in terms of size and layout.

How do we get Zoho to understand that this isn't a toy and that they have to do a much better job of keeping the platform stable or face defection of customers?
