The no-code or low-code software is very easy to learn and use. I had a basic database up and working in days.
The more advanced features can be difficult to understand. Some knowledge of coding may be required to get the most out of the software.
We currently use Caspio to track all of the grants we give out. It has truly taken us to the next level in being able to analyze our giving and make clear decisions about future grants.
Most helpful aspect of Caspio is the friendly Customer Service Team, for me led by Ramil Borromeo, immediately or quickly followed by Ned Pajic's ***** 5-Star Training on Youtube, especially the Caspio Labs!!! And that would be the Biggest of all the upsides of using Caspio... as an insurance agent now learning Developer; it's the Tutorials, the Expert Support, and the Knowledge base of Tools and Resources that are Simply the Best available.
Honestly my least favorite thing about using Caspio is the Low-Code pitch as Yes it is technically true, because I knew little to almost no code until Ned Pajic (Caspio Trainings Technical Evangelist) taught me via Youtube. So yeah that's my least favorite thing, but I also love it because it allows me to stand out as being more highly qualified having gone through their more intense free training program on Youtube for just over a year now, so actually a success here.
Caspio is helping us solve business problems such as Tracking and Accountability for certain!! Thankfully we weeded out a few people, and others have begun Literally Flourishing because, like me, as a business owner, I can look and show myself, our agents, or even my wife... "Hey, look at all the work and calls and such I'm logging in our New Caspio System; see how truly worth it, it is!" --- Because I can now track all the Benefits of using the database systems, our team is all on the same page --- At the Same Time! Yes, simultaneously in Real-Time and after I log an appointment while in the field, our office staff can instantly assist or follow up with recent notes! Too many Benefits to put into this review.... But definitely worth it for sure.
Caspio designed the database for me; the design process was quick, with every opportunity to test the design throughout. The database was unusual as it involved the biological classification of fish parasites and the fish species affected. The database had to allow the incorporation of fish samples and their location in the UK, so a complex system. Throughout the design and subsequently, the team at Caspio have resolved any issues speedily. Most of the issues were of my own making, and concerned my poor knowledge of database systems. The search engines which have been incorporated into the design are brilliant, allowing a search for parasite species, the fish hosts, size of parasites, location. This is a fantastic tool, accessing data for research purposes.
There is nothing I have disliked about the Caspio build of my database, I'm very happy with the service I've been given.
Until the mid-1990's knowledge of fish parasite distribution was undertaken by publishing in a variety scientific journals, which resulted in the information being widely distributed and with limited access. The use of an electronic database allows historic and current records to be located on a single, accessible platform. The ability to easily add data, drill down on information on either parasites or the fish hosts is fantastic. The database is providing information that will be used to understand the distribution of non-native invasive species, provide a base line for the native parasites. The information will provide the basis for further research projects.
Caspio is super easy to use for a basic application and then when you go under the covers, you can do almost anything with it. We've done some highly complicated UX stuff with it - not as much complex DB stuff but it has all the expected SQL functionality. There is a REST API which we are just starting to use. Overall love the product. We were able to bring on inexperienced developers and get them up to speed very fast using the Caspio community forum, help documentation and online chat support.
3 things. 1) the pricing for the HIPAA compliant environment is a little high and may price smaller projects out of the market. 2) Their professional services stay in their lane and what I mean by that is they have some really cool stuff but they want you to buy their services instead of sharing their insights, if it were my company I'd offer that as an incentive to use the product. 3) Security is by 3rd party cookie (as is almost everyone else in this space) - they'll need to figure out a way to adopt that as Google Chrome moves away from supporting that. I think (hope) that Google continues to drag their feet. Apple already does this on Safari so to make use of native Caspio you have to instruct Safari uses to explicitly enable 3rd party cookies.
We've built a business application that tracks medical procedures enabling a large practice to better comply with HEDIS standards. We built a couple of different scheduling apps - some of them requiring HIPAA level privacy. We built a complex provider selection application that supports a group of businesses that self-insure. This enables their employees to get discounted surgical, imaging, lab and PT services. Saves money for both employer and employee. The big benefit for us was economically building applications. We think we saved over $1M in labor costs building out 6 applications over 2 years if comparing to a similar quote on a native cloud platform.
The capability of doing yourself your platform supported 24x7 by specialized professionals.
Some features are not available out of the US for a long time, and nobody speaks Spanish in the help desks service.
Caspio supports all our business processes. So, it is essential for us.
The People, Product and Overall professionalism of the company.
It is really hard for me to answer this question. I love Caspio.
We were a company built on spreadsheets and emails. Our data was scattered across laptops, local servers and even filing cabinets. We made multiple approval workflows and designed systems that allow our people to work together as one unified team. Approval workflows that used to take a month now take less than a day and are fully auditable. Our now people have live, secure access to data that was previously locked away, unusable, or inaccurate. We identified well over 1 Million Dollars worth of waste in our processes and missed opportunities. We are finally on the path to owning our data and controlling our job functions, thanks to the power of Caspio!
The most helpful component to Caspio is its support system. When I get stuck on how to do something, I go to chat and very quickly they solve my challenge. When I have some complex scenarios to solve such as having 2 y-axis on a chart that use different scales, they came to the rescue.
The least favorite thing about Caspio (though not a dislike by any means) is creating multi variable charts with multiple axis because it does require knowledge of code that I've been able to get Caspio support to do. So while that isn't easy, they did it for me, so for me, that was easy.
I needed an online member portal to track client goals, financials, and other data-intensive information. Caspio made it easy to create a members portal where members can login and create or update goals, financials, etc and we can go in and create or modify what they do. It allows us to work together on their objectives and has simplified the back and forth that shared docs and email used to provide.
Ease of use and ability to create professional and functional applications on the fly. Very powerful.
Nothing. I dislike not having enough time to spend developing apps.
Data Collection and processes outside for our ERP system.
The ability to create your own web based programs to meet your own specific needs. Also the feature of unlimited users; no requirement to pay based on the number of users.
A GUI would be nice to improve development time. Also the system lacks flexibility in passing parameters from one datapage to another.
Improve Customer Service by providing tools to the customer to track the status of repairs. A 25% reduction of calls from customers.
I like that the platform has a low barrier for entry in regards to non-technical staff to create CRUD applications.
For individuals that have development experience the platform can be limiting due to some design constrains.
Caspio is helping us consolidate business processes that our users would rely on MS Access or Spreadsheets into a clean and more lean CRUD application. This allows us to secure data being captured and ensuring that data is consolidating into one DB. In addition, this helps us get more streamline business processes that save time for our staff.
Facile à gérer. Permet de rapidement réaliser des grouppements de données selon des critères ou formules simples.
Le cout de la solution est élevé. La mise en forme pour rendre ceci "beau" online n'est pas automatique.
Caspio est la seule solution, simple qui permet de réaliser une base de données online pour un non infomaticien tel que moi
The resource based plan instead of the user one. How is easy and fast to make a prototipte really no-coding.At the same time it provide api and allow JavaScript to customize details. Thire solid improvement and update effort on the platform.
We do not like their approach to fine authorization, but they made more affordable with last releases. Some limits on triggers that make hard if you need to implement complex business logic.
It is amazing how fast is from discussing requirements with customer to show them a pilot. We reduced this time from weeks to (few) days. We improved a lot our response to customer's needs.
The Caspio product brings a lot of mostly intuitive tools for non-technology organizations to quickly design, build, and refine/build information management and sharing solutions for appropriate access and use by their employees, trusted associates, and the general public
The licensing model does not allow smaller organizations with smaller license solutions to access (purchase) specific desired Caspio system capabilities without upgrading to much much larger and expensive (unaffordable) licensing agreements. We appreciate that Caspio can't have totally variable licensing features offerings - but some capabilities, such as being able to select and create a "PDF", rather than a print stream, for a target record, would be very valuable.
We are creating a 'first of its kind' information system to help a non-profit Foundation collect, manage, and share historic cemeteries' decedent information with the public and researchers. Caspio tools enable non-IT personnel and consultants to do rapid design, prototype, refine and deploy of the initial Cemetery Information System, and quickly enhance the platform while it is being used every day by Administrators and the Public. Caspio's database hosting enables the non-IT organization to easily contract for and use a fully formed stable, secure, and expandable hosted database and application solution.
Caspio is a great program. They are so many features you can use. The Caspio Support Team is great as well. They are quick to respond and follow up until your issue is resolved.
So far, I have not been faced with anything I did not like about Caspio. I only think I need to improve at using it to better perfect my projects.
They helped me with a problem with one of the applications we developed. We had to refresh every time we hit submit to see our work in the draft column. Caspio went in and fixed the issue for us.
Our app has been on Caspio for about 5 years- there's a lot to like: The platform itself: Easy to use to quickly get a web app live. Fast rollouts of updates for your users. Endlessly customizable with javascript and css and a REST api that can connect to the outer internet. Lots of helpful features beyond the basic database and its forms and reports (scheduled tasks for data, import/export data, Stripe and PayPal integration, AWS and Zapier integration, etc.). Caspio is a fully featured platform that can be as easily or complexly developed as your needs require. The company: Excellent account and technical support (at least for corporate accounts, which is my only experience). I feel like Caspio is part of my business's team--I can count on them to quickly address issues as they come up and find solutions I'm sometimes unable to see myself. Their ticket support is the best I've seen on any platform.
There's not a lot to dislike, but I do wish the pricing was more flexible, depending on what kind of business and app is used.
Caspio makes it possible to create a fully realized web app with paying customers, with minimum investment. We can also scale capabilities as our business scales. Being able to tailor our resources to the speed of our actual development keeps our business's overhead low.
It was pretty straightforward to figure out for a novice. Plus, the Caspio team was available for help and regularly checked in.
It was a bit time-consuming to put together all the data pages to make a working database in every facet we needed - outward facing, internal searches, record updates, etc.
We need easily searchable databases to put on our website for our members to find information -- such as directories or document lists.
Easy and quick to adapt to the changes and easily translate any requirement, especially the web forms and calculation Pivot tables. The dashboards and reporting capabilities are also nice compared to other tools. Security and RLS is add-on point while designing any application. From an integration perspective as well the tool is more updated and easy to integrate with any third-party tool via API or Zapier.
The only challenge about caspio is limited calculation field usage at table level as well as page levels and SSO should not require to keep copy of user mail in data source it should automatically get added.
Time efficiency to develop user-friendly apps and the major issue to getting rid of excel data which translates into intuitive UI and user-friendliness Caspio allows all these features along with security and automatic tasks and triggers.
Caspio has enabled our team of financial analysts create and deploy data collection databases for running our financial benchmarking business. We don't need to be programmers with Caspio, just reasonably-good database users. We have created several client-facing applications and internal systems for management tasks. Features such as workflow and email automation gives us the ability to deploy high-quality, high-functionality sites and instantly make changes. If we were paying a developer for this work, we could not afford it, in terms of time and dollars. Caspio has an amazing set of features and has just improved every year in the 8 years we have been using the system. It is our "go-to" application for any new ideas and we are constantly amazing ourselves with the flexibility and functionality of Caspio.
A bit of a learning curve to get up to speed, but it is not too bad. If you have good Access skills, you can generally figure out Caspio. To build advanced functionality, it helps if you have some JavaScript experience. Caspio does not document ALL that you can do, however, the online community is very supportive and helpful.
We are managing data collection and presentation sites for our financial benchmarking products. We are a small organization and do not have full-time web developers, but Caspio gives us the ability to do the work ourselves. Turnaround times are rapid, and we can deploy professional web applications without requiring external resources. We could not afford to hire out to get the functionality that Caspio provides. We have also created a process management site for working with an all-remote team to control our processes. Caspio's workflow capabilities help us ensure that our processes run automatically with no manual routing. The most significant benefit from Caspio is that once we started using the system on a small task, we could see more cases where we could use Caspio to expand our business. We now look for how we can leverage Caspio to create new products for sale to our clients.
It's a low-code platform that allows anyone to create interactive reports/views with minimal knowledge. It's easy to use and there is a robust resource and training area that gives me the tools needed to grow within the platform.
There is a LOT of information and ability within Caspio, and sometimes it can be overwhelming with the number of possibilities. The user interface just received an upgrade which is helpful, but the data can sometimes be finicky directly in the data tables.
We were able to take tables of data that were previously only available in pdf reports and turned them into interactive, searchable, and up-to-date sources that our users can now pull specific information out of using a simple search. Previously, users would have had to collect this data, clean it, and sort it on their own but we have taken care of this process within Caspio with success. We've also used Caspio for basic form submissions.
