Caspio Reviews & Product Details

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.

The Caspio system allowed a small number of staff and volunteers to create an extensive data management system for our K-8 public charter school. We were able to create - from scratch -- an entire public-facing online student registration system as well as an internal data management solution that allows us to track student demographics, health information, behavioral needs, and much much more. Caspio is now the core service upon which our entire school operates.

From time to time we have had to create some code to achieve some advance functions that were helpful to our system. The online documentation is very helpful, but more so, the Caspio support team has gone above and beyond to help us achieve our goals.

Overall data management for a K-8 public school with more than 350 students and 50 staff. Caspio has allowed us to create multiple systems including student registration, classroom management tools, reports and more that now drive the day to day functioning of the school.

Caspio's platform is well designed and provides pretty much everything you need to quickly create database-centric apps. If you are not an SQL whiz they got you covered with powerful click & drag elements that allow to build pretty complex SQL commands. We have never had a problem with deployment on our sites and it provides fast DB access. Just be sure to normalize your database! The ability to embed JS and HTML within HTML BLOCKS has been a tremendous benefit for us as well. With these options there really is very little you can't accomplish within your datapages.

Caspio's trigger and task development environment can be challenging when you begin to develop beyond basic DB tasks. We have found that variables are not your friend in this environment as they tend to really "bog" down the performance of development. Caspio places limits on how many cascading "triggers" can occur within each script and this has caused us some headaches in working around this limitation. An update to the task and trigger environment last year improved performance tremendously but subsequently, there are quirks now in the interaction of the canvas. For instance - after working within the trigger or task canvas for a while a shadowy blur will begin to cover areas that you have worked on. While this does not prevent you from continuing it is very distracting. Regarding the overall management of your assets, you cannot create folders for any of your assets except for datapages. It would be beneficial to be able to organize all of your assets into folders as larger apps will encompass dozens of tables, views, localizations, styles, etc. You also cannot create dynamic global variables. They have to be static only. This means you cannot set a variable in one trigger and access it from another. This could be a limitation of SaaS development but for us, old school developers, it has been frustrating.

We have developed a Scheduling and Resource management system for the medical industry using the Caspio platform. While it has had its challenges we feel this platform was a good choice for us even with its sometimes head-scratching limitations, as you really can get things done quickly. it is a low-code environment and those imitations do get in the way sometimes but we have been able to work around most of these. On the other hand, it is the low-code design that has allowed us to get many functions completed much quicker in addition to having less experienced developers assisting us. Once you get used to the concepts and get over the realization that you have to develop within a very structured environment, there is very little you could not accomplish. Support - While the user community support forum is hit or miss on getting assistance, Caspio's support team has always been very responsive with the exception of just one issue that they keep telling us "they are working on". That issue is not affecting our development efforts, however. Product Management is responsive and pricing, while cleverly designed to get the most $ out of you as possible, is still reasonable IMO.

Its easy to understand and help guides can be found in Caspio's website. Building the database structure is quite easy to design and construct. Some competitors are doing this kind of system already but our company will stick with Caspio.

Since it is low code platform, all you need is a little bit of study and watching the examples will get you through it. The java scripting is a little bit of hassle as I am not familiar with some scripting but using Caspio support things can be easier if the logic you want are resolved.

We are solving a code that is re-usable and can be deployed in any web page. This is important for our organization as we use different kind of solution to solve day to day issues. This can be either a user from withinh the organization or our customers. Faster time to deploy your app is also essential as customers require faster solutions.

Caspio is easy to use and does not require people with technical expertise to create a robust web application very quickly.

The standard form design is a bit basic and dusty (though it is easily customizable if you have someone who can code it for you).

We created healthcare applications and were able to ensure HIPAA compliance with ease.

It is easy deploying web pages. It is simple.

Some of the additional coding and rules could be easier.

Creating work sheets and reports.

The user interface is very easy to use and you can a very functional application up and running in just minutes. I also love that Caspio offers a highly secure and HIPAA compliant option.

Customizations beyond whats buikt into the interface can be tricky, but not impossible to develop.

We are using it to manage our information in allaspects of our organization. We have front facing and back of house tools that are easy to customoze and very relable helping us to be very efficeint and effective.

• Accessible to anyone who can line up a couple of logical operations in a spreadsheet. • Extensive knowledge bases and tutorial video collection. • Reliable and capable. • High levels of security are available. • Servers in key geographical locations, including Canada. • Good customer service and support.

Caspio is costly, and the minimum commitment is 12 months, which can be problematic in some cases.

In response to COVID-19 screening requirement, we had to develop a Workforce health monitoring and management app. Being at the early stage of the pandemic, the only few apps that were available on the market were not meeting our specific needs. We then decided to develop our in-house solution. We needed the ability to create a relatively complex solution within only a few days ahead of us. With strict requirements imposed by federal and provincial personal information privacy legislation (Canada), the list of contenders was very short. Caspio was then selected as the most viable option. Not the cheapest, but the most flexible and "customizable". After one week, with some basic knowledge, we managed to roll out the first version of the app, which has now been used daily by more than 4200 workers. Caspio team members provided me with guidance and expertise when I needed it. The customer service is responsive and efficient. Their platform is simple, efficient, and reliable.
