Software Test Analyst at Squerist
Low-code platform needs knowledge of coding and best practices to make it work best.
This is not a stable solution. When work has been done on screen A, for example, this has lead to a downfall in screen B. This has occurred even when there appears to be connection between the two. This is mostly happening because developers are not using of are not aware of best practices within platforms. It's like Excel. I can make a lot in Excel, but if my calculations are wrong, it's me that is in the fault, not Excel.

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

"We use this solution as a customer portal for teachers so they can plan exams for their students. Exams will also be created in the portal in future."
"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."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"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 solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
 

Cons

"This solution is difficult to scale. We found it challenging to ensure that many more users could use the system without any trouble."
"This solution could be more user-friendly and involve less code. It requires a lot of SQL knowledge and programming. It is not a drag and drop solution."
"I would like them to keep enhancing their user interface, as while functionality is essential, improvement in UI would also benefit developers and end-users alike."
"Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms in Zoho Creator."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
"Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
