Bizagi boosts efficiency and ROI, with automation cutting costs, enhancing timelines, and prompting free-to-enterprise upgrade interest.
Sentiment score
3.6
Zoho Creator offers cost-effective solutions by replacing expensive software, saving labor costs, and improving data processing for financial benefits.
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.
When considering overall cost-effectiveness and return on investment (ROI), I find that Zoho Creator is beneficial due to the solutions it offers.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.7
Bizagi's customer service is effective but response times vary, with premium services offering faster, more proactive support.
Sentiment score
5.0
Zoho Creator's customer service is responsive and effective, but complex issues and email responses can experience delays.
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.
I would rate technical support as a nine on a scale of 1 to 10.
If a remote session is needed, they provide immediate help.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.3
Bizagi is scalable with proper resources, though scalability varies by deployment type, size, and user configurations.
Sentiment score
5.6
Zoho Creator's flexibility handles varying user needs but faces challenges with large data and rising costs.
There is no direct scalability option.
If I rate scalability from one to ten, I would probably give it a six.
When my customers' needs are growing, Zoho Creator is able to adapt to these growing needs because it's a build-it-yourself application.
We cannot manage big data efficiently, struggling with managing 50K records or updating records from one to another due to issues such as runtime errors and API call limitations.
While every Zoho application has limitations in accessibility and certain functionalities, we often manage to create effective alternatives for clients.
 

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
6.2
Zoho Creator is stable and reliable, scoring high ratings despite minor issues, with improvements in the latest version.
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.
I have created many ERP solutions on Zoho Creator, and they are all working reliably with maintained data integrity.
 

Room For Improvement

Bizagi needs performance improvements, better cloud integration, intuitive design, and enhanced support, with high costs and limited Linux compatibility.
Zoho Creator needs UI and UX improvement, better integration, customization options, and enhanced performance for large datasets and automations.
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.
In terms of scalability, there are certain limitations if the data volume is large due to execution limits.
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.
Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms in Zoho Creator.
 

Setup Cost

Enterprise users find Bizagi's pricing mixed, valuing flexibility yet desiring a mid-range option between free and enterprise.
Zoho Creator offers diverse subscription-based pricing, starting at INR 480 per user/month, potentially costly for larger user bases.
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 flexible custom app development with low-code interface, extensive customization, strong integration, and multi-layered security 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.
For analytics, we employ two tools: Zoho Creator itself and Zoho Analytics, where we can use SQL queries to fetch data from multiple platforms.
We can generate QR codes for free, whereas in CRM, QR generation requires external purchases.
The most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available.

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.
