Starting point: Why Zoho One has now been renewed
During the COVID pandemic, it became clear how important integrated technological solutions are for collaboration, communication, and customer service. Today, companies are once again at a turning point, shaped by AI, automation, and interconnected systems. With Zoho One 25, Zoho responds to this change and provides you with an operating system that meets current requirements while offering long-term stability.
The innovations are divided into three core areas: user experience, administration, and security and compliance.
Spaces: A new way of navigation
With Spaces, Zoho introduces a context-based navigation model that clearly separates personal, organizational, and functional workspaces. This structure helps you work with focus and minimize distractions. Applications remain centrally connected, but in a much clearer format. Switching takes place directly via the profile menu and is supported by a guided tour for a smooth onboarding experience.
User experience: Better orientation and faster workflows
Dashboard 2.0
The new dashboards offer greater flexibility and more personalization options. Widgets from areas such as sales, marketing, HR, or analytics can be freely combined and displayed. You can use a system default view or tailor your dashboard precisely to your needs.
Quick Nav
With Quick Nav, you can switch even faster between applications and actions. Using the keyboard shortcut Z + Space or the lightning icon, you open a navigation layer designed specifically to make complex platforms easier and more efficient to use.
Action Panel
The Action Panel provides a central overview of upcoming tasks, appointments, and reminders. Particularly practical is the integrated approval section, which bundles all pending approvals from across Zoho apps. You no longer need to switch between applications to keep track of everything.
Zia Hubs
With Zia Hubs, you can identify, analyze, and understand content in Zoho WorkDrive much faster. Zia reads and indexes uploaded files, answers questions in natural language, and points directly to the relevant text passages. This significantly simplifies information processing.
Ask Zia
Ask Zia is a cross-context assistant that enables access, insights, and actions across all Zoho applications. This unifies complex data queries and reduces the need to switch between apps.
Administration: Unified control and increased transparency
Unified Domains
With Unified Domains, you manage your domain, ownership verification, mail authentication, and hosting centrally in one place. Redundant verification steps are eliminated, resulting in a clear structure and reduced administrative effort.
Centralized Integrations
All integrations—whether within Zoho or with third-party providers—are managed centrally. This simplifies role management and reduces misconfigurations.
Identity Connect
By supporting existing identity systems such as Active Directory or Microsoft Entra ID, onboarding new users becomes significantly faster and more consistent.
Smart Offboarding
Offboarding has been optimized so that ownership transfers, integration changes, or organizational adjustments can be carried out transparently and reliably.
Security and compliance: More control for your organization
Audit Logs
Audit Logs document activities within Zoho applications in real time, including profile changes, role updates, user imports, or app installations. This supports security analysis and strengthens internal compliance.
Anomaly Detection
Unusual activities—such as failed login attempts or frequent MFA resets—are automatically detected and can be prioritized or investigated immediately.
Conditional Access Policies und RADIUS
You can control access based on parameters such as location, IP address, or operating system. RADIUS provides additional network authentication for enhanced security.
Authentication Modes
Zoho One allows flexible authentication policies, including password age, minimum length, and additional security factors.
