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.

Pros

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"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 provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."
"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."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."

Cons

"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."

"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."
"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."
"Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms in Zoho Creator."
"Zoho Creator's UX design needs to be improved."
"One significant issue with Zoho Creator is the lack of backup when items are deleted, unlike CRM where backups are available."
