Offers low-code/no-code concept makes development much easier and faster and offers good community support as the development team actively answers questions on the community every day
There are very minor things, like the feature called "action chains," that could use a bit of enhancement. But the team is perfect; they're working on it. An action chain is a sequence of actions triggered by a button or an event. It executes code in order, from top to bottom. For example, it could call a code, call a REST service, and then insert data into a database. It needs enhancement because it can be a bit complex for fresh grads or new developers to understand. It would be better if it was made more readable. That's the main point. But if you have experience, you'll understand it easily. One more thing I want to add about Visual Builder: up until two years ago, it supported native mobile development. That's not available anymore. They replaced native mobile development with progressive web apps, and most customers are complaining about that. We need native mobile development back – the ability to put apps on stores like Google Play or the App Store. That feature is not available right now, and they deprecated it starting in 2024. It's very important. Otherwise, clients go with Flutter or other mobile development tools. It would be good for Oracle to regain that capability. We need the native mobile development feature back.

Custom dashboards and workflows optimize business tasks, but API updates and tech support challenges remain
AI is a developing tool that could enhance many aspects. Utilizing a more advanced UI and UX capability paired with more customization and ready-made modern templates for mobile and web apps could improve mobile responsiveness and branding controls. Additionally, regarding connections, not just with Zoho apps but also with external ones, there is a need for more pre-built connectors so users do not always require custom APIs. Optimizing the handling of large data sets, providing more enterprise-grade development options, and ensuring full offline mobile apps with automatic background sync would also be beneficial. Furthermore, reducing dependency on Deluge scripts for simple automations and introducing a more intuitive drag-and-drop workflow builder would make a difference. There is indeed a large team collaborating, so they can gain from stronger visual control and improve tracking for production development workflows.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The tool is very easy to use."
"The action chains are really helpful, and the trigger event, along with those action chains, has been very helpful."
"You can avoid costly React developers that are required for building advanced UI."
"The most valuable feature was the visual drag and drop on the components."
"VBS is another tool that allows users to create enterprise applications without needing to store their projects in traditional databases like SQL."
"You don't need a dedicated IDE to develop. You can work from any browser, which is very convenient. And, with the cloud concept, your code is stored in the cloud, so you can modify it from anywhere, at any time."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available."
"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."
"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."
"Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."

Cons

"The tool has minor bugs."
"If you're doing some, for example, extremely responsive applications for the web, it's not as good."
"The feature called "action chains" could use a bit of enhancement."
"The initial setup of Oracle VBCS can be challenging for those unfamiliar with DBS."
"My honest opinion is: do not use this solution — there are plenty of free options out there that will do the trick."
"There are some bugs in VBCS."
"There was an attempt to enable front-end development, it did what it intended to do, but the side effects were too bad."
"I would improve the license structure as, for some companies, it may seem a little bit expensive, depending on what they're doing."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"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."
"Considering the light amount of users who use this solution to perform basic tasks, the price is a little high."
"Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms in Zoho Creator."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"In-app support is satisfactory, but my major challenge is usually via email because they take long to reply."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's not expensive when you consider what it provides: low-code/no-code development, faster development time, good quality, and good stability."
"Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service is much too expensive."
"We would prefer it if the price went down drastically."
"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
"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."
"Zoho Creator's price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"Anyone can start using the solution with less than 15 to 30 dollars a month per user. It is worth the money."
