Marketing A/B tests have gained deeper insights from user behavior and unified global reporting

The best features Tray.io offers include excellent visualization capabilities and a dashboard, which stand out to me the most. I appreciate that it is very easy to convert the data we receive from Tray.io into dashboards from Power BI, which is extremely useful. I would also appreciate if in the future Tray.io provides a way to natively convert the data to Tableau. Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once. As a multinational and very large company, it is definitely beneficial that those of us in the UK can use the same format that colleagues use in India, and the entire data architecture is framed within a trusted system from an established organization. As far as I know, Tray.io has been operating for the last 12 years, making it a very reliable system.

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

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by helping us keep our internal database and this third-party service in sync, and it has really helped us automate a lot of that work because it is fairly straightforward to maintain and develop."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization as it provides a trusted way to organize data results and share them throughout the company at once."

"Tray.io has positively impacted my organization by reducing the amount of redundant tasks that our team performs by approximately 80%, and the numbers are quite significant with the workflows alone, as we are working towards creating and utilizing AI within these workflows as well."

"Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."

"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."

"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."

"It is very easy to build applications on the product."

"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."

"Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything."

"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."

"Zoho Creator offers cost-effective, enterprise-grade solutions at simple pricing, unlike competitors such as Salesforce or HubSpot, which can be significantly more expensive for similar functionalities."

More Zoho Creator pros

Cons

"I have found that the error management in my main use case with Tray.io is not as effective as we would prefer."

"As our product got more complex, we needed to add more and more complexity to Tray.io in terms of our setup, and that is when the benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated."

"One way Tray.io could be improved, especially for people coming in with no real coding experience, is with more comprehensive error messages."

"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."

"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."

"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."

"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."

"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."

"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."

"One significant issue with Zoho Creator is the lack of backup when items are deleted, unlike CRM where backups are available."

"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."
