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.

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.

Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything.

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.

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.

If we want to update 5,000 data in one function, we cannot do it because the running time for those records takes around at least ten minutes.

The tech support operates on a ticket-based email response system. Often, by the time they respond, I have already resolved the issue myself.

The biggest area for improvement is the look and feel when building a customer portal as it's not that customizable.

In-app support is satisfactory, but my major challenge is usually via email because they take long to reply.
