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

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"Zoho Creator offers cost-effective, enterprise-grade solutions at simple pricing, unlike competitors such as Salesforce or HubSpot, which can be significantly more expensive for similar functionalities."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"The impact of the Deluge Scripting language on my application's customization options and workflow automation has been significant, reducing a manual process from two or three weeks to just two days and significantly decreasing the manual process and reducing work hours for the organization."
"The dynamic form builder of Zoho Creator helps capture essential data efficiently because clients vary from industry to industry, and the type of inputs they require usually varies."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"Zoho Creator is a powerful application where we can accomplish numerous tasks with experience and knowledge."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"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."
"If we want to update 5,000 data in one function, we cannot do it because the running time for those records takes around at least ten minutes."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"When you're developing database-type applications, there is no way to see the actual database tables. They call them forms, and I don't like that. Zoho should also provide better user guides."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product."
"I would appreciate more API integrations and more documentation terms related to Deluge Script in Zoho Creator."
"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."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."
"Zoho Creator's price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The tool's pricing is flexible."
"The tool has three plans and one of them costs 50 dollars per month."
"Zoho Creator's pricing is fine. It's subscription-based."
"I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
"Zoho Creator is the cheapest option in the market right now that can deliver this level of quality."
