"The scalability of the solution could improve."
"Microsoft PowerApps is not intended for customizing what's generated in a major way."
"We use GoCanvas to make forms. It's easier to make forms in GoCanvas, but Power Apps is cheaper because it is bundled with our Office 365 license. if I want to create a form in Power Apps, I need some knowledge, but GoCanvas is intuitive."
"In an upcoming release, I would like to see custom APIs, better integration with other solutions, and more connectors available."
"Most of my training for what I do has been by watching or learning in the community. There needs to be better training on either one of these."

"We'd like more features and less to no coding."
"The notion people have is that no code equals no knowledge, and that's simply not true. Even though you don't have to write codes, you still have to know what you're doing."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"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."

"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"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.
