Good for automatically triggering workflows, but needs to be more customizable
We use this product for many different reasons related to our business We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do. The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically trigger the workflow. This solution needs to be…

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.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"In Zoho Creator, we can create applications from scratch and implement full automation, which is what I find best about it."
"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."
"Zoho Creator is a powerful application where we can accomplish numerous tasks with experience and knowledge."
"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."
"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 provides complex flexibility, allows creation of multiple modules and fields that are easily accessible, enables dynamic and stateless forms, and offers robust automation with Deluge script, workflows, and analytics tools like custom reports, dashboards, KPIs, and widgets."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
 

Cons

"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"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."
"Sometimes there are execution order issues where lower code runs before upper code, which can create problems."
"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 product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"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."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"I am concerned that Zoho Creator does not have good integration capabilities, as it has a lot of API limits."
"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
