Zoho Creator's cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and integration capabilities boost productivity, streamline workflows, and improve decision-making.

Studio Creatio's customer service is praised for responsiveness and competence, though challenges exist with regional support and certified developers.

Zoho Creator's support is responsive and helpful, with room for improvement in response times for complex issues.
When issues are escalated, responses are faster.
I would rate technical support as a nine on a scale of 1 to 10.
If I face any issues with a Zoho app or require backend support, I initially communicate with their support team, who assist me in the Zoho Creator app.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
8.2
Studio Creatio is a highly scalable platform used by medium and large companies, praised for handling multiple roles and processes efficiently.
Sentiment score
6.1
Zoho Creator is praised for scalability and low-code features, but faces challenges with high traffic and potential cost issues.
There are certain limitations if the data volume is large due to execution limits.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Studio Creatio is praised for its stability and reliability, with users attributing occasional issues to external factors.
Sentiment score
6.9
Zoho Creator is a stable, reliable platform, praised for security and efficient automation despite minor issues.
 

Room For Improvement

Studio Creatio needs better mobile customization, UI control, business rule flexibility, accurate translations, technical documentation, and improved performance for large processes.
Zoho Creator users face challenges with role hierarchy, limited customization, stability issues, and inadequate support and integrations.
Utilizing a more advanced UI and UX capability paired with more customization and ready-made modern templates for mobile and web apps could improve mobile responsiveness and branding controls.
In terms of scalability, there are certain limitations if the data volume is large due to execution limits.
I want to see improvements in Zoho Creator focusing on AI capabilities because there currently seems to be very little AI usage in Zoho compared to the advancements in other software.
 

Setup Cost

Studio Creatio offers a flexible and reasonably priced licensing model, costing $15 per user per month, rated 5-6 in affordability.
Zoho Creator offers competitive and flexible pricing, but additional database costs can rise, especially impacting Indian mid-sized firms.
Zoho offers customizable pricing options, such as Zoho One, which provides access to all 40 applications for 1250.
The standard plan costs around 800 per month for the Zoho One application.
Pricing is a little on the higher side for the Indian market, especially for mid-sized and small-sized companies with 30 to 40 users.
 

Valuable Features

Studio Creatio provides configurable CRM, low-code/no-code platforms, and process management with automation, scalability, and superb business support features.
Zoho Creator offers flexible, low-code app development with strong integration, customization, and support for business processes and reporting.
We can generate QR codes for free, whereas in CRM, QR generation requires external purchases.
For analytics, we employ two tools: Zoho Creator itself and Zoho Analytics, where we can use SQL queries to fetch data from multiple platforms.
Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit.

Featured Reviews

Anatolii Vovniuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable, easy to use, and has good built-in dashboards
The tool is available on the cloud as well as on-premise. The ease of setup depends on the complexity of the project. In most cases, we just connect and work. We must create our own team and find a partner to build our own application. If we need to create something new, it will take time. I rate the ease of setup of the cloud version a ten out of ten. However, I would rate the ease of setup of the on-premise version a five or six out of ten. The on-premise version takes longer to deploy. The cloud version can be deployed within minutes. We receive a license key and start working. If all the components are ready, we can deploy the on-premise version within ten days.

Custom dashboards and workflows optimize business tasks, but API updates and tech support challenges remain
AI is a developing tool that could enhance many aspects. Utilizing a more advanced UI and UX capability paired with more customization and ready-made modern templates for mobile and web apps could improve mobile responsiveness and branding controls. Additionally, regarding connections, not just with Zoho apps but also with external ones, there is a need for more pre-built connectors so users do not always require custom APIs. Optimizing the handling of large data sets, providing more enterprise-grade development options, and ensuring full offline mobile apps with automatic background sync would also be beneficial. Furthermore, reducing dependency on Deluge scripts for simple automations and introducing a more intuitive drag-and-drop workflow builder would make a difference. There is indeed a large team collaborating, so they can gain from stronger visual control and improve tracking for production development workflows.
