Good for automatically triggering workflows, but needs to be more customizable
We use this product for many different reasons related to our business We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do. The most valuable feature is the ability to automatically trigger the workflow. This solution needs to be…

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.

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

"It is a very, very scalable tool."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
"Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit."
"In Zoho Creator, we can create applications from scratch and implement full automation, which is what I find best about it."
"The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us."
"The features or capabilities of Zoho Creator that I have found the most valuable so far is customization—being able to drag and drop and build whatever app you want, with strong custom code support and the ability to make API calls to different third-party applications."
"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."
 

Cons

"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"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."
"In-app support is satisfactory, but my major challenge is usually via email because they take long to reply."
"I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product."
"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
"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."
"Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements."
