Caspio Reviews & Product Details

Caspio has a robust database underlying a low-code environment that makes app development fun.

I would like to see a more robust help file for developers. All of their tutorials and help files are focused on users that have no familiarity with coding. For folks with some technical background, it would be nice to quickly get to the "caspio way to do xxx"

It is helping me organize a knowledge base that puts information at user's fingertips. We also use it for CRM. The problem it solved was that as many apps as there are out there, none of them did precisely what we needed.

Caspio genuinely cares about your project. The team utilizes a hands-on approach and includes the client in every aspect of the process. I feel valued as a client, more like a partner in development and deployment of my application.

Location of business. I live in another state. If Caspio had an office in my state, in-person meetings would be possible and more prevalent.

Inefficiencies and Processes that are within my operations space. Caspio simplifies problems with practical solutions that produce profitability for all parties involved.

Background software like database versions are taken care of by Caspio

W would like an Asynchronous Subsystem for cron jobs.

Background Data Maintenance programs were really quick to do so we could concentrate on our business-specific requirements.

They are a friendly and responsive organisation that were willing to take a really early stage idea and work it through with us to make a finished product

As a non-technical person, it took some time to grasp the flexibility of the code.

We wanted to create a platform that can be used in schools and education to allow a child to explore the curriculum by taking their own journey along a 3000 year timeline that offers thousands of millions of unique possible routes. Initially we though this could be a paper based product, but quickly realised that an App was the only way forwards.

Compared to other systems that we used in the past, Caspio is highly flexible and can be rapidly modified in response to changing program needs. For example, our Federal funder frequently changes forms or questions that we are required to ask of our trainees. In the past we would need to submit changes to a developer and go through multiple rounds of revisions. I am a program evaluator, with no formal training in programming or website development, and with Caspio I can quickly make the changes myself.

Compared to some previous systems Caspio's user interface is more complex, so there was some up-front time required for me to learn the system. But the positive associated with that is a high degree of flexibility. Basic tasks can be set up quickly, but advanced users have more options for greater control over the system's functionality. Overall it seems like a good trade-off.

We use Caspio for three inter-connected functions: an online event registration system for trainees, an event management dashboard and reporting system for training coordinators, and an administrative reporting dashboard for program managers at our central office. Each set of end-users has their own interface, to interact in different ways with the same underlying data.

Ease of use for non-coder personnel. Can set up a basic functioning application with little training.

Mostly a positive experience so far. We don't use the more complex features, and so wish we knew more about the product to maybe take advantage of those aspects.

We mostly use Caspio to develop department-level applications, contracts database, track spend from vendors, on-line sign up sheets for vaccine clinics. It has reduced manual tracking and filing, making employees more efficient.

The ability to build a functioning piece of software with very little to no coding knowledge

some capabilities are not yet available. but I trust they will be eventually

we were able to build our teacher registration platform in a few months. to facilitate licensing

The wizard architecture makes low-code achievable.

Monthly payments are a factor -- but are probably not that much different than the cost of a commercial programming language subscription.

Gathering brief weekly reports from our field workers. Caspio allowed us to write them, prompting them with "last week's numbers."

Fees are fair, the system is clean and easy to use, support is fast and awesome. The relational database aspects was a challenge, but the Caspio team walked me through it so I could move all our data from QuickBase to Caspio. They provide a lot of videos and written documentation for nearly every step. They also have fast, live chat help, as well. What more do you need?

Like anything new, it takes a while to get up to speed, but the included expert sessions are really good. I wish their charts looked more professional, but they are as good as Google Charts

We used QuickBase for over 10 years, but their fees kept increasing and support became useless. Switching to Caspio took a lot of work for me as I'm not much of a programmer, but the low-code aspect works well and the support was awesome. Overall, Caspio has been paying off nicely. Everyone in our group likes how clean and easy it is to use. Giving them extra features has been easy.

Caspio has been unparalleled in its usefulness to my department -- helping me create applications that would have taken my IT department years to create -- and not as well.

I would love to be able to easily copy rows of data -- similar to an Excel environment. I have to do a lot of copying and pasting (if I am not doing an import). There is also a lot of scrolling across the screen -- I want to be able to hide columns in my tables when working on the backend tables.

We have been able to create searchable databases for internal company information using various dashboards. We have been able to easily do reporting on large amounts of data. Adding and removing users is very easy as well.

Reliability, ease of use for non-programer

there are some quirkes, which I have found work arounds.

I can develop and offer Saas products

We have started using Caspio 4 weeks ago, and it is already operative. The positive side is that we can keep improving it all the time, even while we are still learning the full potential of the platform. Deploying your data in a website couldn´t be easier.

You will need a reasonable knowledge of Java, but the examples available on the platform are very easy to follow.

Easy website access for the internal users.

Caspio lets me link my other applications. This has improved our customer journey which has led to more happy customers.

I have not found any downsides. If I had to make any dislike it would be to slightly lower the price

Caspio helps me communicate with my customers in a very seamless way. The automation element is amazing

We have felt Caspio has met our needs to create a functional CTMS for our clinical teams to use. We have built financial tracking, patient tracking, and have been able to use Caspio to create full oncology trials in the system and attach documents. Forums are super useful when we find ourselves unable to figure something out.

Things are not always 100% intuitive and we have had issues when updates are released without notification to our team - but we have been able to use the help teams to get us where we need to be.

We are a small non-profit organization with specific needs in working with oncology trials. Many CTMS applications either do not meet our needs, or are well beyond what we need (meaning they are also well beyond our price point). We have been able to build what we need, without needing to hire a coder or a specialist to do so.

Intuitive design with app and data tools all being self-serve.

Change has its ups and downs. I have been a customer for many years and while I appreciate all the upgrades over time, keeping up with all the changes/upgrades can be challenging.

We are combining large data sets with Caspio and love the easy tools to present results.

The Caspio Team was fantastic. Having never built a software or anything close to that, Ivy from Caspio was patient and offered suggestions that helped me add additional value.

My only complaint would be the lack of current Caspio builds to use as models or examples when developing

The ability to track human performance to determine where performance trends exist allow me to provide a pinpoint focus on what needs improving. The database also tracks performance over time, which let's me see the performance cycle from beginning to end.

I was able to develop systems and processes that fit my business needs without an indebt knowledge of code.

Nothing. It took time to work through the tutorials and manuals and to build the various applications, but that was expected.

It handles many of the operational data base functions for my business.

low code - easy development of our product and deployment.

Not much...it helps us and any issues were resolved. There really are no issues.

We use the HIPAA compliant platform for patient care.

I was impressed with the tool. I was able to get up and running within a couple of weeks of training. Online videos and how-tos were beneficial. I looked at several other options and am happy with my decision.

My only issue is how it is integrated with the web front end. It does not work well with content management systems (WordPress, Drupal, etc.). They recommended that I use straight html rather than a CMS; however, this does add some overhead.

I need a rapid development tool that does not require extensive coding experience. I did not want to hire developers to accomplish what I needed. I built a solution within a couple of months, and I can build POCs rapidly.

Powerful Caspio capabilities can be utilized by any company with limited resources. The process of building is very logical and streghtforward, making the whole process seem like fun rather than work.

The pricing model might be a little bit confusing. It would be nice to have more explanation about the components of the price.

Caspio serves excellent as a customer relationship management tool. We also use Caspio as a marketplace for our partners and potential customers.
