OnHandIMS vs Zoho Inventory
Zoho Inventory is inexpensive and competent, and it is one module of a very large suite. That is its strength if you already live in Zoho, and its weakness if you do not — the inventory piece assumes the rest of the suite around it.

Where Zoho Inventory is the better answer
Zoho if you already run Zoho Books, CRM and Desk. The integration between them is real and worth a lot, and nothing we do will replace having one login for the whole company.
Where we are
Distributors who are not going to adopt a suite, and who want the words on screen to be their words. If you are already all-in on Zoho, stay there.
