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…

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."
"Zoho Creator is a powerful application where we can accomplish numerous tasks with experience and knowledge."
"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."
"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."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"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."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"Zoho Creator is a low-code platform that is easy to use and manage other resources. It stands out because of its modular platform approach. It offers an ERP system with the flexibility to create various applications like service applications, customer portals, and more. It's particularly useful if you already have an ERP system and want to extend its functionality with applications for customer portals, e-commerce, or internal processes such as HR approvals and inventory management. The platform simplifies workflow creation."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
 

Cons

"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
"I am concerned that Zoho Creator does not have good integration capabilities, as it has a lot of API limits."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"The UI must be improved."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"The tech support operates on a ticket-based email response system. Often, by the time they respond, I have already resolved the issue myself."
"One significant issue with Zoho Creator is the lack of backup when items are deleted, unlike CRM where backups are available."
