Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.6
Zoho Creator's flexibility handles varying user needs but faces challenges with large data and rising costs.
When my customers' needs are growing, Zoho Creator is able to adapt to these growing needs because it's a build-it-yourself application.
We cannot manage big data efficiently, struggling with managing 50K records or updating records from one to another due to issues such as runtime errors and API call limitations.
While every Zoho application has limitations in accessibility and certain functionalities, we often manage to create effective alternatives for clients.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score

Studio Creatio is praised for its stability and reliability, with users attributing occasional issues to external factors.
Sentiment score
6.2
Zoho Creator is stable and reliable, scoring high ratings despite minor issues, with improvements in the latest version.
You can't rely on any software in business if it's not going to be stable and reliable.
Offering versatile flexibility for various integrations, such as WhatsApp and email API integration.
I have created many ERP solutions on Zoho Creator, and they are all working reliably with maintained data integrity.
 

Room For Improvement

Studio Creatio needs better mobile customization, UI control, business rule flexibility, accurate translations, technical documentation, and improved performance for large processes.
Zoho Creator needs UI and UX improvement, better integration, customization options, and enhanced performance for large datasets and automations.
In terms of scalability, there are certain limitations if the data volume is large due to execution limits.
I want to see improvements in Zoho Creator focusing on AI capabilities because there currently seems to be very little AI usage in Zoho compared to the advancements in other software.
Improvement could come from the ability to implement and create custom dashboards or subforms in Zoho Creator.
 

Setup Cost

Studio Creatio offers a flexible and reasonably priced licensing model, costing $15 per user per month, rated 5-6 in affordability.
Zoho Creator offers diverse subscription-based pricing, starting at INR 480 per user/month, potentially costly for larger user bases.
Zoho offers customizable pricing options, such as Zoho One, which provides access to all 40 applications for 1250.
For INR, the standard cost is 480 per month, the professional tier is around 1,200, and the enterprise level is 1,500, based on the subscription level per user for Zoho Creator.
Pricing is a little on the higher side for the Indian market, especially for mid-sized and small-sized companies with 30 to 40 users.
 

Valuable Features

Studio Creatio provides configurable CRM, low-code/no-code platforms, and process management with automation, scalability, and superb business support features.
Zoho Creator offers flexible custom app development with low-code interface, extensive customization, strong integration, and multi-layered security features.
For analytics, we employ two tools: Zoho Creator itself and Zoho Analytics, where we can use SQL queries to fetch data from multiple platforms.
We can generate QR codes for free, whereas in CRM, QR generation requires external purchases.
The most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available.

Featured Reviews

Anatolii Vovniuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable, easy to use, and has good built-in dashboards
The tool is available on the cloud as well as on-premise. The ease of setup depends on the complexity of the project. In most cases, we just connect and work. We must create our own team and find a partner to build our own application. If we need to create something new, it will take time. I rate the ease of setup of the cloud version a ten out of ten. However, I would rate the ease of setup of the on-premise version a five or six out of ten. The on-premise version takes longer to deploy. The cloud version can be deployed within minutes. We receive a license key and start working. If all the components are ready, we can deploy the on-premise version within ten days.
VishalKumar7 - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
