Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
Channels and Payments Administrator at Finabank N.V.
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
VishalKumar7 - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions, and as someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"Zoho Creator also provides role-based access, edit trials, and compliance with standards such as GDPR to ensure data security, eliminating the needs for expensive custom development or the use of multiple tools by consolidating everything into a single platform."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"I recommend Zoho Creator because it's easy to use; in Zoho Creator, the language is Deluge language, which is similar to JavaScript but is a low-code platform, and the Deluge language is simple, so there is nothing complicated about Zoho Creator, allowing you to easily implement the Zoho software."
"The best feature of Zoho Creator is that it is a native application—native means Zoho CRM and Zoho Creator—with portal user access, drag-and-drop features, and a UI developed with limited options and high security."
"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."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to do a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
"Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms 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."
"Considering the light amount of users who use this solution to perform basic tasks, the price is a little high."
"I would appreciate more API integrations and more documentation terms related to Deluge Script in Zoho Creator."
"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."
"I am concerned that Zoho Creator does not have good integration capabilities, as it has a lot of API limits."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
"We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 1500 per month."
"The tool has three plans and one of them costs 50 dollars per month."
"Anyone can start using the solution with less than 15 to 30 dollars a month per user. It is worth the money."
