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."
"Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available."
"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."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"In Zoho Creator, I find the ability to work with CSS and put some HTML in pages to create custom reports to be the most valuable and useful features, along with the publish feature and the portal feature, which are really good."
"Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."
"Zoho Creator is easy to design and accessible for any business purpose. The solution is priced low and helps you meet business requirements. You can write a script based on requirements and trigger it whereby the customer will receive notifications. It is a customizable application."
 

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.

"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's UX design needs to be improved."
"I am concerned that Zoho Creator does not have good integration capabilities, as it has a lot of API limits."
"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. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
"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 rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms in Zoho Creator."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
