Sherif Bashar - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Digital Solutions at Aptec Ingrammicro
Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day
There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

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

"The initial setup is easy."
"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."
"The tool is very easy to use."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"Zoho Creator is easy to design and accessible for any business purpose. The solution is priced low and helps you meet business requirements. You can write a script based on requirements and trigger it whereby the customer will receive notifications. It is a customizable application."
"Zoho Creator is fully scalable in my experience; I've worked with a client that started with 10 employees and simple processes, and they currently have over 500 employees in three different countries."
"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."
"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 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."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"If you're doing some, for example, extremely responsive applications for the web, it's not as good."
"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"The tool has minor bugs."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"There are some bugs in VBCS."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"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."
"In-app support is satisfactory, but my major challenge is usually via email because they take long to reply."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
"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."
"The tool has three plans and one of them costs 50 dollars per month."
"I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
"The tool's pricing is flexible."
"Zoho Creator started at 800 rupees, about $10 per month."
"We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."
"Zoho Creator is the cheapest option in the market right now that can deliver this level of quality."
"The tool's licensing costs are annual. You need to pay more if you need a bigger database."
