Featured Reviews

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.
Sagar Gaikwad - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Business Application Developer on Zoho Platform. at Tech Worriors
Maximized business efficiency and reduced costs with comprehensive app development
Areas of Zoho Creator that could be improved in the future include further advancements in AI capabilities. They are working on generating AI features, and I believe enhancing the user interface could also be beneficial, as the company's focus seems more on functionality. UI could use some upgrades for better user experiences. 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. The desired improvements would focus on the user interface to support both developers and end-users better, even though there are alternate options available for hosting JavaScript pages, which I believe are unnecessary. HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap are supported, but I feel enhancements in UI/UX could further optimize user interactions.

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."
"The best feature of Zoho Creator is that it is a native application—native means Zoho CRM and Zoho Creator—with portal user access, drag-and-drop features, and a UI developed with limited options and high security."
"Zoho Creator is fully scalable in my experience; I've worked with a client that started with 10 employees and simple processes, and they currently have over 500 employees in three different countries."
"In Zoho Creator, we can create applications from scratch and implement full automation, which is what I find best about 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."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"Zoho Creator also provides role-based access, edit trials, and compliance with standards such as GDPR to ensure data security, eliminating the needs for expensive custom development or the use of multiple tools by consolidating everything into a single platform."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to do a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out."
"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.

It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"One significant issue with Zoho Creator is the lack of backup when items are deleted, unlike CRM where backups are available."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"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."
"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 there are execution order issues where lower code runs before upper code, which can create problems."
"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."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."

"The Enterprise version costs INR 1500 per month."
"Zoho Creator started at 800 rupees, about $10 per month."
