Timothy Soares - PeerSpot reviewer
Channels and Payments Administrator at Finabank N.V.
It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.
VishalKumar7 - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions, and as someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."
"Zoho Creator provides complex flexibility, allows creation of multiple modules and fields that are easily accessible, enables dynamic and stateless forms, and offers robust automation with Deluge script, workflows, and analytics tools like custom reports, dashboards, KPIs, and widgets."
"The impact of the Deluge Scripting language on my application's customization options and workflow automation has been significant, reducing a manual process from two or three weeks to just two days and significantly decreasing the manual process and reducing work hours for the organization."
"Zoho Creator offers cost-effective, enterprise-grade solutions at simple pricing, unlike competitors such as Salesforce or HubSpot, which can be significantly more expensive for similar functionalities."
"The dynamic form builder of Zoho Creator helps capture essential data efficiently because clients vary from industry to industry, and the type of inputs they require usually varies."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"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 most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to do a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out."
"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."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements."
"I would like them to keep enhancing their user interface, as while functionality is essential, improvement in UI would also benefit developers and end-users alike."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
"The biggest area for improvement is the look and feel when building a customer portal as it's not that customizable."
