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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"It is very easy to build applications on the product."
"The impact of the Deluge Scripting language on my application's customization options and workflow automation has been significant, reducing a manual process from two or three weeks to just two days and significantly decreasing the manual process and reducing work hours for the organization."
"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."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"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."
"Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything."
"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."
 

Cons

"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"Zoho Creator's UX design needs to be improved."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"The tech support operates on a ticket-based email response system. Often, by the time they respond, I have already resolved the issue myself."
