Caspio Reviews: 4.5/5 — Highly Rated

Easy to use interface allows for quick and easy development of our platform. Plus the added ability to add personalized coding. The chat support is always happy to help and provide the answers required. Ongoing development opportunities are available.

Would love to be able to create a 'dashboard' that was able to be downloaded as a PDF report, rather than each Datapage separately. The limitation on the PDF formatting ability has a slight effect on how we present and display our data for our users. Also, when styling, happy to use custom CSS coding, just can't find the item to amend when it is not an obvious component, takes some trial and error.

We are able to save costs from using numerous third-party providers by collating it all and hosting all through Caspio.

Creating tables with versatile data types. Possibility for quick datapages. I like everything abt caspio. Although I didn't get time to do much but it's amazing

I want to know how to raise a ticket. Also I will have to be highly xpert in using caspio to be able to judge it's down sides. My experience until now is amazing

We have developed many databases Our data is now we'll organized. We are confident in submitting data to ministry bcz we have organized our data more accurately with caspio. We are able to centralize systems for data collection & management. All our process which were manual & prone to errors & less productivity have now been converted through caspio to Systems that are significantly automated.

For years, I was looking for a modernized, tricked out version of Microsoft Access and now have found it with Caspio. It is based on an Access-like table framework. Love the low-code, no-code features, love the YouTube library and live sessions with Ned, love the templates, love the fact that we're not limited to a number of lines (like Kintone), and love that we can make the app and its dashboards look beautiful and pleasing to the eye. I love that my Managers, as they become more familiar with the tool, will be able to change wording without a developer. Love the speed with which we can create apps and the speed with which we can make changes. After literally years of trying different platforms to customize grants monitoring software to each client, we found Caspio and so far are very happy.

It is a bit more complicated than I anticipated, but that level of complexity provides us more features and opportunities for customization. So we can live with the complexity. We still use Caspio developers, but the cost overall is much less than developing coding from scratch.

We have automated our grants monitoring processes to a greater idea as well as adopted Caspio for HR, marketing, and knowledge base apps. Benefits are far greater visibility on the status of monitoring reviews and statistics regarding individual Monitor performance, time spent, number of reviews outstanding. Dashboards to analyze findings are immensely helpful

There are many training materials in both print and video formats that make learning the system very comprehensive.

There are limitations to the system when comparing it to Access Database on the Custamozation of Forms and Reports level and converting them to PDF.

I have created a very robust database solution for three of our company's silos that we work in daily, with an average of 15 employees in the systems at any given time.

Very quick to setup once you know the fundamentals.

"SELECT" statements can't be used in many places.

Database shared with supervisors and managers to deal with HR, OHS and performance data. Quick implementation and fast results!

Simple and intuitive to get started creating applications Advanced features allow you to create some complex workflows Unlike proprietary off-the-shelf software (eg Salesforce usig APEX) Caspio uses commonly use languages such as HTML, CSS, SQL and JScript Great online tutorials on YouTube (although some are dated) All in one platform brings everything together (development, hosting etc) Our client data is now completely centralised, Caspio has eliminated many of the home-grown systems (spreadsheets etc) Positive feedback and satisfaction from end users

SMS is only supported in the US (we are based in EU) Would like to see better change controls and tracking during app modification.(e.g Change Logs) When creating multiple applications I would like to see some Global Parameters When sharing tables with other applications, the table relationship screen can become messy and dificult to manage While you can create Apps with no code, a little knowledge of HTML, CSS, SQL and JScript is a distict advantage

We were able to create applications that meet our business specific requirements We had previously used Saleforce an off the shelf CRM which was difficult to shape to our requirements and expensive not inuative for a developer. We now have a unified workforce and have broken down silos, it has changed the company culture for the best End users dont have to be tech savvy to use the applications built on Caspio

Straightforward to implement without needing an entire coding team. Sometimes in the documentation, it can be challenging to decipher how something works, but the forums have been great for finding ideas and solutions. The support team has been responsive and helpful whenever needed.

If you are used to coding, the no code solutions can sometimes be cumbersome to figure out. There are definitely times where I wish I could just write the SQL query or other code instead of using the GUI.

We use Caspio to automate Excel sheets that were passed around internally and also externally. It was straightforward to implement on our own, and we have continued to add more complex features as needed, like email alerts, sharing documents, logging changes, and passing updates back to our ERP

The support is amazing and probably the best yet by any company

I cannot think of anything I dislike about Caspio

we are setting up a company to put payroll data on so that the employees can access their own data, so far it is going very well

Easy to copy from Excel to Caspio DB then set up search forms for all the data entered.

If you go over a set limit you must upgrade to a paid version.

We have over 3500 members. Each members Radio ID changes every year (to reflect seniority) So, the searchable database is imperative on January 1st of each year.

It was fairly easy to get started on a basic database with simple search functions, but it also offers far more customizable options if you're willing to wade into those waters.

Once you move beyond the most basic set up, I found the learning curve got much steeper. If I wasn't working from someone else's template, I had a hard time implementing more advanced functions (such as those using parameters and creating linked apps). It involved a lot of trial and error.

It is fantastic for us to be able to embed access to a fully functioning database on our website with out having a database administrator or other programmer around. We can just throw an Excel spreadsheet into Caspio and literally minutes later have something we know will work and that can be painlessly updated.

Caspio has great customer support with minimal wait times and quick availability. They release a new update to their software every couple of months that introduces new ways to use their software as well as speed up creation time. They have different levels of security to purchase depending on your business type at different price points to fit your need. Many ways to deploy their applications throughout your site from embedding to iFrame. Love this product!

So far, I've been using Caspio for 6 months and don't have much to complain about. Some features can be released a little early and not everything has been thought through. It's usually fixed in the next patch like most software though.

We have been deploying table and infographics throughout our site. We recently launch a form for consumers to send information through and it gets sent to a specific email address where our team responds in orderly time. Great for customer service needs!

Caspio is easy to learn and use - even for a novice like me!

Documentation isn't as easy to find as I'd like.

Caspio makes it easy for non-programmers and those with a minimal understanding of database concepts to manipulate and display data for our newspaper readers.

I helped implement Caspio as a solution in my agency nearly four years ago to meet a single simple need. Since then, usage of Caspio has increased to nearly 20 applications and several more concepts awaiting time and approval to implement. One of the greatest components of Caspio is the very simple learning curve. As a non-programmer, I was able to stand up a web application in hours instead of weeks or months.

My biggest complaint is the authentication piece. If a user is not an admin for the instance, they have additional steps to log in.

We frequently have the need to publish searchable data. Our preferred method has tremendous cost that cannot be accommodated without a revenue stream. Caspio provided a low cost alternative. With the increased usage, we have realized significant savings over the other options.

Caspio is a relatively easy and quick way to build low-code applications that are accessible online. It enabled our company to go fully remote with no computer hardware to purchase or maintain. When we examined different tools to do this, Caspio came out above the others.

You have to take the no-code claim with a grain of salt. While creating a simple data entry screen with no code is possible, it is not practical to expect to create an application to serve your business without some Java script for data verification, formatting, etc.

We converted our legacy remote access server system and DBMS, which took years to develop and implement with Caspio in approximately 6-8 months. After a couple of months of working with the new Casio system, we could go fully remote and not renew our lease for office space. Our going fully remote was well before the pandemic, so we didn't have any of the issues many companies had.

It is HIPAA compliant and Caspio does all the monitoring for you.

Can't create a view from another view which is limiting

We are doing a lot of work from home so we don't need to be in the office if we utilize the CASPIO platform for some of your surveillance work.

It has a good amount of capabilities without overloading a creator with too many complexities. It is not an overly complex system but still allows the creator to create some complex applications. The pricing is good as well. We have created many applications that would have taken much longer in more advanced systems. The table triggers allow for advanced table manipulation that really make an application powerful.

Would like more integration with the external systems however that does add to complexity for the creator. Also the ability to bind multiple screens within the UI rather than writing Javascript to handle the binding.

Approval workflows. Data display. Search engines. Safety reporting. It is quite simple to load in a large amount of data and build a search screen to view the data and then export that subset of information. Also, workflows to allow people to approve and view information have reduced the time and paper to get this done.

Caspio allowed me to create websites from simple data manipulation to more complicated applications (mostly require SQL and Javascript codes). Anyone with basic knowledge or zero experience in web development can easily use Caspio. Caspio also offers short training, video tutorials, and samples,

For complicated applications, it's difficult to find solutions within Caspio's, you gotta dig deeper and create the solutions for yourself using javascript and SQL. Their support will only help you with the functionality within Caspio but they have a good community in their forum to help you and give you examples.

I get reporting requests on a day-to-day basis, Caspio has been helpful in that aspect. I also get benefits from creating much more complicated reports just by using Caspio's functionality alone with no code necessary.

Caspio is a web-based low-code development platform that helps with turning our ideas into custom applications at ease. We can automate our workflows, enable customer-specific notifications and generate detailed reports for our projects. This is effective as we work to pace up our SDLC, collaboration with teams and deliver the application within its time constraints. We can also add columns on a temporary basis while we require to generate specific reports and later we can remove them to uphold the previous records which are useful for our application testing & report analysis.

Although the documentation offered by Capsio is elaborate while starting fresh we need to spend time understanding the functionalities and how we can customize it to meet our application requirements. Apart from this learning curve, we can save a lot of time in building our database applications with various drag & drop features offered by Caspio.

We require a common utility to ingest all our customer data and build applications on top of it & Caspio facilitates this requirement perfectly. We have developed many applications to carry out a wide range of database administration for our business use cases. Its alert notification feature informs us about any anomalies in real-time as we have defined it in our automated workflow. It also gives us access controls over the addition & removal of users easily and we can efficiently create our database-centric applications to incorporate complex SQL statements and JavaScript codes with its drag & drop elements conveniently.

Simple interface and easy to use the platform, even for beginners with little to no coding experience. You can also easily import your own spreadsheets into Capsio with the click of a button, making data upload increadibly fast and simple.

While creating tables and datapages is very simple, developing your own "Styles" for designs seems more complex than it needs to be. Additionally, getting the full functionality of Caspio requires a relatively high-level plan.

We are using Capsio to streamline our internal work processes to track project progress, responsibilities, key contacts, etc. Capsio has allowed us to create tracking reports, submission forms, and more to keep track of our work.

I like that with zero knowledge of any programming languages, you can create a fully functional app. I also like that you can deploy your projects in seconds.

There is nothing I dislike about Caspio. It has been very usefull and time-saving for us.

We use Caspio for different applications such as data gathering, reporting, payroll, budgeting, approval workflow. We were able to switch many processes from MS Excel to Caspio.

It is straightforward to use and personalize; you don't need coding experience to create forms and reports. It has helped us develop apps for over six different companies in half the time we had scheduled.

I think they could improve in the language section because if you want to have 1 form in 2 different languages, you need to create 2 forms, so it kind of takes time and resources, but other than that, it is pretty great.

We created health apps for different clients, saving them time in the generation of records and reports. We can create forms in just minutes and deploy them in less than a day.

The flexibility this platform provides by not having to be a professional developer is key for keeping IT resource costs under control. I do not have experience with competitors, but after working with the platform for a year and a half, I have no interest in seeking other solutions at this time.

There are a few drawbacks, such as triggered actions not functioning with bulk imports, however this is something that I believe is on the horizon. Import automation is a bit clunky but I imagine the Caspio team is working to improve this portion of the platform as well.

Our organization's entire DB structure lives in Caspio, as well as our internal portal. It saves us a huge amount of capital NOT having to employee consultants to develop a website for us to use internally.

Someone without coding skills can do the basic configurations.

The online help information doesn't provide enough examples or explanations of the various features.

It is customizable. Unlike most electronic medical record systems, reporting is at your fingertips.

drag and drop features in caspio, is great and very fast to launch a new website using caspio. very easy to navigate and guide users how to use the platform as well.

more customizable features. currently meets quite basic requirement from our user stories. will be good to have more customizable feature for those who can self learn coding.

sending of files from many individuals to a platform. what is good about caspio is the attaching of a file and admin can retrieve the file easily via the portal.

I love that the developers work so closely with the customers. Of course, when you reach support you will always get a support specialist, but Caspio developers seem to actually step up to help quickly, whereas most other sites I have worked with, the developers don't move as quickly

So far I have not found anything I dislike

I needed a feature added that I could not figure out myself. Support got it taken care of and continues to help.

The most helpful things about Caspio are that the options are endless for what I can create. Once I learned my way around datapages and tables I was able to create unique forms for my company that providing the helpful solutions we needed.

It did takes some practice to learn how to best utilize Caspio but once I got some practice in, I got better and better at making forms.

I'm able to solve form issues and create unique solutions for my team members when they have new ideas for information they want to capture.

Fast & low-code development for common cases - forms, reports, user authorization, integration. Easy DB management with good functionality. Reusable elements.

If you need something special, then you have to add real code in JS. No event handling ability in forms. Not enough functionality for UI design. Working with triggers need to improve.

The fast development Integration between external systems Data access control

I'm an attorney without any coding experience. I've been able to use Caspio to develop internal and client-facing tools to grow my business. The recorded tutorials and support available have made this possible---all for a reasonable price.

Some customization takes coding knowledge and skills.

We are using Caspio as a knowledge base with several different views of the information for different audiences. Caspio will replace spreadsheets for us, once and for all.

The 'no code' environment is amazing. We can make changes to data pages with ease, preview them, and see if the change we did works, and then re-tweak it to make sure it's correct. It is reasonably fast and doesn't seem to bog down much at all.

It is hard to find developers who understand all of the ins and outs of Caspio. While the basic stuff has a very small learning curve, finding where to do things *, i.e., lookup tables*, calculated fields, and some other platform nuances, are unique and challenging. Even 'seasoned' and experienced Caspio developers have issues at times that are frustrating to resolve. The Caspio support is helpful in most cases, but sometimes they are not as thorough as they should be. In our particular case, we had a unique authentication issue. We had written support and got a very dismissive and vanilla answer to the problem. Our three developers could not resolve it for the life of them, and it was causing issues with registering our users. As our business is growing dynamically, this is problematic. Luckily for us, we got a new account rep, and she just happened to 'check-in on us' when taking over for a colleague. She was AMAZING. She tasked a senior developer who did a screen share with us not 24 hours later, and we resolved a HUGE issue in less than an hour. Overall, it is a great platform, but even those familiar with it are not completely familiar with it, and at times you will need to find a good support liaison to solve some issues. Caspio is great in many ways. One more thing that is a bit disappointing is their front-end tools/widgets. IF Caspio could integrate something like JOT FORMS front end-user tools, it would be hands down the best solution ever. You can use javascript for some of these things, but that typically brings in yet another developer. Ugh..

Health care-related EHR systems issues and patient management. It's HIPAA compliant and, most of the time, very easy to get something working very fast.

The Caspio development team has been attentive and flexible in helping create custom applications to meet current needs. The team is always very responsive in communications and relatively swift in development.

The Caspio development team is put together after initial meetings with the front end marketing and scoping teams. So, there are a lot of conversations and details discussed up front with people who were not part of the group I ultimately ended up working with on projects to whom I had to re-explain details or fill in gaps about the bigger picture. I understand why this happened but felt like some things were lost in translation by not having all parties present for these conversations.

I have worked with the Caspio development team to create applications that do not currently exist in the marketplace. So, the benefits have been that they will help develop solutions to align with business practices instead of requiring stakeholders to change business practices to align with their solutions like most out-of-the-box vendors.
