I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Zoho Developer at Evoluz Global Solutions
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"Zoho Creator is one of the best tools; I also have experience converting applications to Android and iOS, which is essential because customers want to install APK files and iOS application files."
"The integration capabilities in Zoho Creator are quite good and support our existing workload. It provides open and proprietary APIs, making interfacing with other applications easier."
"Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything."
"I recommend Zoho Creator because it's easy to use; in Zoho Creator, the language is Deluge language, which is similar to JavaScript but is a low-code platform, and the Deluge language is simple, so there is nothing complicated about Zoho Creator, allowing you to easily implement the Zoho software."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"It is very easy to build applications on the product."
"Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."
 

Cons

"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"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."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"The biggest area for improvement is the look and feel when building a customer portal as it's not that customizable."
"Considering the light amount of users who use this solution to perform basic tasks, the price is a little high."
"Zoho Creator falls short on data management, so we must connect it to other databases to handle larger datasets. However, it may still be sufficient for smaller databases. Better templates and examples for support teams or programming could be improved. Learning the Zoho Creator language, known as "Deluge," can be challenging for native programmers, so having clear examples and training materials would benefit users."
"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"Zoho Creator is the cheapest option in the market right now that can deliver this level of quality."
"Zoho Creator's price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."
"The plan provided is presented on a monthly basis, giving an idea of the cost each month. However, the actual cost is calculated and charged on a yearly or annual basis. The cost is displayed in a detailed manner, breaking down the amount charged annually, and presenting it in a monthly format."
"The tool's pricing is flexible."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 1500 per month."
"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
