Okay, misinformation on that then. Glad to see that they're different.
That's great that VTiger was offered with a good license, but I don't think the intentions of forking sugar were the best. Their licensing may have caused some issues, but now GPL3 has cleared most of those. If Zoho's products are superior why continue to offer VTiger, which is primarily Sugar's code? Why not just open source ZohoCRM and unify things together? Granted, that is much easier said than done.
Sure, most people haven't woken up to the power of UI. Think of the poor souls still on SAP or Great Plains or whatever CRM you can think of. There's no doubt Zoho is proven. Microsoft is also proven, but the way they execute on products isn't exactly the best.
Zoho Creator is very nice. The app store launched this week via web 2.0 expo is pretty cool.
Adventnet(zoho,vtiger,etc.) is a hell of a business. I just challenge you guys to do something truly different to shake things up. You're right, 12 years has afforded you to do things like Zoho, so take that juice to kick it a few notches up. Best of luck.
vtiger CRM is now a separate open source product with an active community that will determine it's future. vtiger CRM has evolved significantly over many years with a complete overhaul of the UI and the server framework, and is largely Sugar-Free.
Please note that SugarCRM is open source only with it's limited community edition. Much of SugarCRM software is proprietary.
