Businesses prefer Zoho Office Integrator over Microsoft WOPI - Here's why


Businesses often have difficult decisions to make when building web applications that provide document management capabilities for their users. For example, what's the best solution to integrate with online office editors— Zoho Office Integrator or Microsoft WOPI ?

This decision will be based on certain requirements:
  • You have a web application, but want a full-featured office editor to handle document management from within the app.

  • Your business policy prohibits keeping customer data in a public cloud. So you need a solution that allows you to store these documents on your own servers, to ensure data compliance.

  • Business users should have a seamless experience when they view, edit, and collaborate on Word, Excel, and Powerpoint files online. An integrated office solution should work on all modern browsers and support all popular document formats. 

  • You want a document management solution that's easy to implement with minimal configuration and doesn't involve additional hardware costs.

  • The integrated office solution should have an affordable and flexible pricing model.

 

While MS WOPI does the job well, it's also expensive and difficult to implement. Zoho Office Integrator ticks all the boxes when it comes to meeting the content editing needs of your business, without all the complications.


We believe Zoho Office Integrator is not just an alternative to MS WOPI, but an all-inclusive solution that offers wide-ranging document editing capabilities with flexible  customisation  features. 
 
Here's a comparison list to help businesses like yours make informed decisions:

 Office 365 subscription mandatory.
 Each user is prompted to authenticate
 with a Microsoft/Office 365 account to
 edit documents.
  Ease of Integration
 Implementation in 2 easy steps:

 1. Open/view/edit/co-edit documents with
 standard API requests.
 2. Save edited documents back to your
 storage server with a saveurl method.
 Fairly complex WOPI protocols, and
 requires separate implementation to
 "view" and "edit" documents.

 1. To support document view, WOPI
 hosts must implement CheckFileInfo
 and GetFile modules.
 2. To support document edit, WOPI
 hosts must implement other modules:
 PutFile, PutRelativeFile, Lock, Unlock,
 UnlockAndRelock, RefreshLock.

  Server Requirements

 Office Integrator solution runs on any server
 environment (including Linux).
 MS WOPI runs only on Windows
 servers.
