Habit - a terrible thing. Some things are taken for granted just because you are used to them. Often people asking the question like, "Why are you looking for by Yandex?" I get the answer: "Yes, used somehow." Today we want to compare side-by-side popular products Yandex and Google, and to assess the real value of Russian sworn friend of the American global bully.
The parameters that we are interested in the first place: the integration of services companies, mobile use, the need for additional steps to install a particular software, as well as design and fun use.
start page
You can talk about vkusovschina, but you can just look at the screenshots. In Google - focus on finding, there is immediately a voice search. No banners, tickers, currency rates, news and other information noise, which literally packs a Russian national search engine.
Perhaps this is some feature of Russian consumption (or just used?), Since the same yandex.com for the world is quite tolerable and kind... donut-parallax.
But we know about ya.ru and continue to test the efficiency of the Internet to them.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 1
SERP
We asked searchers to Lobachevsky. Personally, I prefer Google issue, but I'm just used to it. On the usefulness of all the same. The only thing that most of the issuing country is the project of the future Yandex - Islands. Judge for yourself, and do not judge for vkusovschinu.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 1
voice search
Google is looking for better voice. This can make on your phone and on the tablet. How to search for a voice on the computer at Yandex, I do not understand. For fun we have with my son (6 years) recently tested the browser and compared with Yandex of Google Chrome, it is a voice search from the pair. live test results below :)
Here's how to understand a little chatterbox Google (for which the Russian and non-native speakers at all):
But he understands his own Yandex:
And here and there a language in advance was exhibited at the Russian.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 0
post office
I know Yandex employees who for personal purposes use Gmail, but I do not see Google employees who use Yandex. Mail.
The mail Yandex has a cute theme and interesting interface, plenty of space and good Russification. In Gmail - a modern interface that connects a web plug-ins (such as Any. DO) and custom scripts. Gmail, integrated tried Google Drive and Google Docs documents.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 0
card table
The card is not important beauty and functionality. Succumbing to the deep analysis of the card is easy to be trapped, and we will not do this. Just pay attention to the sense of beauty of those who make these products, look for any address in Moscow and give tribute to the mirror functionality.
Look and feel
Google Maps look modern and not even clear that they add. Yandex Maps - from the Stone Age.
address Lookup
"Russia, Moscow, Gogol Boulevard, 12s4" where is it? Both products were well aware of this, and Yandex is also near the metro suggested. This is useful if you are a pedestrian, right? But Yandex does not know how to build the pedestrian navigation.
Traffic jams
Yandex - the king of traffic jams. Drivers say they have no equal. Compare through the eyes useless.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 1
Maps mobile
Visual comparison:
On iOS 7 looks very "in the subject» Google product. Product Yandex - until last. It is worth noting that for Kiev no longer pixel map, although there have been such even probably a month ago. Thanks. And yes, in Yandex Maps Navigation is not walking too. But both support transport and very good.
It is said that Yandex map cache the best example the city. But at the same Android it is easily solved by a simple unloading in Google Maps the desired location, which can be a city.
Well, if you travel a lot outside the CIS, the Yandex map can simply be removed and use a single solution for the whole world - Google Maps.
And of course, Yandex - king plugs. And because a draw.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 1
Music
Today officially launched the service Google. Music for Russia and we can not forgive the design of Yandex. Music from the Stone Age. See for yourself:
As for the price, the offer from Google's cheaper: 199 rub. Yandex against 169 rubles. Google and the latter is also a month free of charge. Additionally, you can drive into the Google cloud to 20,000 of its tracks and use the cloud to sync between all registered devices.
If we talk about mobile apps, then they are Yandex for iOS and Android, and from Google - the Google only.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 0
Jobs in the domain and with office tasks
If you have a domain and it is necessary to raise the mail and all that you need to work, there are two good product: google Apps and SDA Yandek. Yandex gives you only the mail. Google gives (except third-party applications):
- the calendar
- cloud drive
- a simple office suite
- Hangouts chats
- and much more!
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 0
browsers
Before you talk about it you need to understand one thing - and Google and Yandex Browser installed you need for a great deal, but the main thing - is to monitor your behavior. Next all and make it so much, what about it is better not to think even.
Personally, I choose to consciously browser from Google is only because there is no obtrusive branding Yandex and involvement in the Google product is determined only at the time of installation and data entry account.
If you use Google services, you'd better stay on Chrome. If you use the services of Yandex, the can comfortable doing it with the same Chrome.
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 0
Mobile devices
The beauty of the iPhone and iPad in the fact that you do not jump out some stuff from your network operator or national search engine. You get the bare system and put on it what you want. You impose the same Yandex only in search (can be cut out) or data points on the map (you can not cut down). All, then only your choice. On Android, the choice begins with the fact that you take the fact that Google is here rocks. Even if you buy a Nexus, and there will not be svistelok and perdelok operator or phone manufacturer or an alternative search engine, you are all still at the mercy of Google. Leave it there. Why would you want to build another layer of services on neschatstnym processor and battery-goner if the examples above are more or less it implies that you and so everything will be fine? Namely, an excellent browser Google Chrome (many on it and sit on iOS!), Google Maps different maps covering the world (and the farther away from Russia, the better work), great-mail Gmail, Google Drive drive Docs documents such as your domain, you will have all the music in the cloud, even ridiculous SIFCO to throw you through Google+ :)
Score: Google: Yandex 1: 0
Whether to local services by Yandex in the modern world in order to build another layer of service on your computer or mobile phone? Our answer is no - not worth it. And if you need a plug or habits, especially the issue or beauty Yandex mail you a nice, leave it as is.
But on the subject all eggs in one basket We can talk in the comments. Although I personally do not think that one basket, two or three is important in general. Shopping or eating, or "wear" their "eggs" do without "baskets" if education enough :)
