Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.8
Bizagi boosts efficiency and ROI, with automation cutting costs, enhancing timelines, and prompting free-to-enterprise upgrade interest.
Sentiment score
3.8
Zoho Creator offers significant ROI, cost savings, and efficiency improvements compared to competitors, despite higher portal prices.
For instance, a company I worked with compared spending on Salesforce, which was 15 crore, to our expenses with Zoho Creator, which was only 2 crore annually.
I have seen a return on investment with Zoho Creator because we eliminated a point of sale software that was charging us 5 lakhs per year across all 26 malls.
Using Zoho Creator is affordable for my business as it helps save time.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.5
Bizagi's customer service is knowledgeable but varies significantly in response time, improving with premium subscriptions and community resources.
Sentiment score
5.2
Zoho Creator's service is responsive with praised pre-sales, but email support can lag; chat and community offer quick help.
It is a community product, there is not much support we can expect.
The toolset is very intuitive, so we didn’t need to contact their support much.
I would rate the technical support 10 out of 10 because they provide excellent assistance.
Delays arise once the support team must refer to backend processes or developers, highlighting the need for enhancement in their overall support system.
All documentation exists, detailing even the smallest elements; by reading through it properly, one can manage without additional support.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.2
Bizagi is scalable with proper resources, though scalability varies by deployment type, size, and user configurations.
Sentiment score
5.8
Zoho Creator is scalable and customizable for SMEs but faces challenges with large data and potential cost increases.
There is no direct scalability option.
If I rate scalability from one to ten, I would probably give it a six.
Being browser-based allows me to drag and drop components immediately, deploying in seconds on a live application.
We are continuing to build on top of what was initially created for them, ensuring that scalability is never an issue as long as you understand how to utilize Zoho properly.
When my customers' needs are growing, Zoho Creator is able to adapt to these growing needs because it's a build-it-yourself application.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
6.8
Bizagi is praised for reliability and stability, with minor bugs occasionally surfacing but performance issues being minimal.
Sentiment score
6.4
Zoho Creator is highly stable and reliable, with few issues reported, especially when following best practices and using Creator 5.
The core elements of coding and daily scripting remain unchanged despite interface updates, assuring continuity in my work.
You can't rely on any software in business if it's not going to be stable and reliable.
Offering versatile flexibility for various integrations, such as WhatsApp and email API integration.
 

Room For Improvement

Bizagi needs performance improvements, better cloud integration, intuitive design, and enhanced support, with high costs and limited Linux compatibility.
Zoho Creator faces challenges with UI, data management, integrations, scalability, and support, hindering customization and user efficiency.
Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased.
For more mature environments, the integration to live systems is lacking, which affects its applicability.
The decision map could be improved to allow more than three options at a decision point.
In terms of scalability, there are certain limitations if the data volume is large due to execution limits.
Enhancing the user interface could also be beneficial, as the company's focus seems more on functionality.
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

Enterprise users find Bizagi's pricing mixed, valuing flexibility yet desiring a mid-range option between free and enterprise.
Zoho Creator offers competitive pricing starting at INR 480, with flexible plans up to 1,500 INR for diverse needs.
Bizagi's pricing is very aggressive, and it was one of the reasons we chose it.
Zoho offers customizable pricing options, such as Zoho One, which provides access to all 40 applications for 1250.
For INR, the standard cost is 480 per month, the professional tier is around 1,200, and the enterprise level is 1,500, based on the subscription level per user for Zoho Creator.
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

Bizagi offers a user-friendly, low-code platform with strong automation, integration capabilities, and BPMN 2.0 compliance, enhancing workflow efficiency.
Zoho Creator offers flexibility, customization, and integration, enabling easy app development with its low-code platform and robust features.
It is open source.
The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand.
Bizagi has rich functionalities; compared to other BPMN tools, it has more features.
The seamless integration with third-party applications and services in Zoho Creator greatly enhances its utility in my business environment, as the ease of integration is impressive.
For analytics, we employ two tools: Zoho Creator itself and Zoho Analytics, where we can use SQL queries to fetch data from multiple platforms.

Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
VishalKumar7 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
