Cons
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database.""In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less.""I would like to see full integration with AI."

More Betty Blocks Cons →

"The UI must be improved.""The platform's technical support services need improvement.""Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls.""Zoho Creator's UX design needs to be improved.""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.""I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product.""They should allow for more UI customization.""We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
