Software Test Analyst at Squerist
Low-code platform needs knowledge of coding and best practices to make it work best.
This is not a stable solution. When work has been done on screen A, for example, this has lead to a downfall in screen B. This has occurred even when there appears to be connection between the two. This is mostly happening because developers are not using of are not aware of best practices within platforms. It's like Excel. I can make a lot in Excel, but if my calculations are wrong, it's me that is in the fault, not Excel.

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

"We use this solution as a customer portal for teachers so they can plan exams for their students. Exams will also be created in the portal in future."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily; for this reason, I think that it's superior to the other solutions I evaluated."
"The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us."
"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."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"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."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits."
"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."
 

Cons

"This solution is difficult to scale. We found it challenging to ensure that many more users could use the system without any trouble."
"This solution could be more user-friendly and involve less code. It requires a lot of SQL knowledge and programming. It is not a drag and drop solution."
"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."
"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"The UI must be improved."
"Considering the light amount of users who use this solution to perform basic tasks, the price is a little high."
