I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Zoho Developer at Evoluz Global Solutions
User experience metadata and workflow customization have been streamlined
The creator needs improvement; for instance, if I create a widget that has dynamic data, it cannot get published. When we publish a page that contains a widget, dynamic data does not appear. That is the problem with Zoho Creator, so it needs improvement. The portal user aspect is also costly; for example, purchasing 250 portal users can be expensive for clients who require them monthly. It creates a financial burden similar to how customer logins on e-commerce websites such as Flipkart or Amazon are generally free. Thus, Zoho Creator needs to offer free access for all portal users as they are essential for the application's usage. In Zoho Creator, we cannot work on UI customization as expected; if I want an application resembling a Figma design, there are limitations on UI changes.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"The features or capabilities of Zoho Creator that I have found the most valuable so far is customization—being able to drag and drop and build whatever app you want, with strong custom code support and the ability to make API calls to different third-party applications."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily; for this reason, I think that it's superior to the other solutions I evaluated."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"Zoho Creator provides complex flexibility, allows creation of multiple modules and fields that are easily accessible, enables dynamic and stateless forms, and offers robust automation with Deluge script, workflows, and analytics tools like custom reports, dashboards, KPIs, and widgets."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
 

Cons

"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"The tech support operates on a ticket-based email response system. Often, by the time they respond, I have already resolved the issue myself."
"I would appreciate more API integrations and more documentation terms related to Deluge Script in Zoho Creator."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"The biggest area for improvement is the look and feel when building a customer portal as it's not that customizable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"Zoho Creator started at 800 rupees, about $10 per month."
"Zoho Creator's price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The tool has three plans and one of them costs 50 dollars per month."
"The plan provided is presented on a monthly basis, giving an idea of the cost each month. However, the actual cost is calculated and charged on a yearly or annual basis. The cost is displayed in a detailed manner, breaking down the amount charged annually, and presenting it in a monthly format."
"Zoho Creator's pricing is fine. It's subscription-based."
"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
"I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
"The tool's pricing is flexible."
