A side-by-side editorial comparison of Zoho Forms and Pimcore — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Zoho Forms vs Pimcore: at a glance
What is Zoho Forms?
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
What is Pimcore?
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.

Zoho Forms
0.0MKT AUTO
Zoho Forms has been silent for over a year — AI-generated forms remain the freshest directional move.
◆ Current state
Zoho Forms' public blog last shipped content in February 2025, a 15-month gap. The Q1 2025 batch covered form-availability scheduling, mobile image-upload enhancements, and a PDF-to-form converter. Just before the gap, the team launched AI-generated forms and OTP verification.
◆ Where it's heading
Visible direction through early 2025 was incremental builder polish plus a meaningful AI bet on form generation. Since then, no public updates — the product appears to be either in maintenance mode within the broader Zoho suite or shipping without communicating. Without fresh signal it's hard to read intent from the surrounding suite alone.
◆ Prediction
If output resumes, the AI Forms surface is the natural extension point — generation today, smarter validation, prefill, and post-submission triage next. If the silence continues, treat Zoho Forms as a stable suite component rather than an actively differentiated product.
Pimcore
5.0MKT AUTO
Pimcore 2026.3.5 tightens permission checks across WebDAV, previews and versions.
◆ Current state
Pimcore 2026.3.5 mixes bug fixes for video assets, field collections, classification stores and grid filters with a set of permission hardening changes. WebDAV now enforces per-asset permissions, draft substitution and object studio previews require the right permissions, and password field values are masked in the editmode payload. It follows a security-heavy October.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2026.3 line has settled into weekly patches where security hardening and data-model fixes share each release. Access-control checks keep spreading to paths that were missed, such as WebDAV and preview endpoints.
◆ Prediction
Expect weekly 2026.3.x patches to continue with more permission checks and fixes, until a 2026.4 minor brings new features.
