A user can start working with Zoho Creator in about ten minutes. It is very intuitive and requires very little configuration. Every time I need to collect data, Zoho is my application for the creation of forms, and it is easy to distribute the forms in a secure way by means of a link, a password or to embed them in another site. Zoho has excellent customizable workflows if you are able to handle minimal programming. If you can devise an application, a business workflow, a business data scenario or anything else, Zoho Creator can handle it. They have previously created applications that can be modified to suit the needs of your business application, or you can create applications from scratch. Basic applications with basic workflow or notifications can be set in minutes. Creator integrates very well with other Zoho applications.
The user interface is very basic and you could probably use an update to modernize a bit. It would also be good if the user interface could be more highly personalized. I use Zoho Creator mainly to create forms that I send to people who do not require something very nice with a lot of graphic design. If I needed a visually appealing form, Zoho would not be my choice because it does not have many features.
Zoho Creator is a quick way to create a web form for user submissions, for anything from an internal survey, a job-related data collection form or a client website submission form.
The features of Zoho Creator are hard to dislike because they are perfect and easy to understand. I enjoyed every step when I used Zoho Creator to build various applications that I use to date. Zoho Creator is not an expensive application builder. Many people can easily afford it.
When I used Zoho Creator, there is nothing that I found disappointing. Everything was perfect, including the application building process. But I would urge the communication team to improve a little bit to make sure that they respond on time.
Zoho Creator is a great system that facilitated the creation of mobile applications that we rely on to date at work. The ease of use of this tool makes it fun to build mobile apps. The Apps we built using it continues to make our business operations better and better.
At any time, wherever we are, the idea of developing a new application that helps us simplify some activity to make the activity easier and save us time, Zoho Creator is an application which was created with this purpose. help give life to that simple application that you want to achieve through a panel of tasks easy to carry and design, how much with a technical support attentive to any concern you may have.
This software is ideal for small businesses or people who start a business, because at low cost it is possible to develop that application that will help us in our field work in order to achieve the goals we set, such was our case get the necessary help to take an application where the students of the institution are visualized in this way to keep track of each of them in terms of their evaluations.
For many it can be complicated the fact that it is required to develop some application, in my case it was, at first I felt a bit uncomfortable but already with the practice and the technical support they have, they make everything easier, without needing the hiring of some espesialista in system, saving money which is what is desired in all organization especially for being a quality service.
Beautiful and Straightforward interface. Very easy platform for databases and quick form building. Support from Zoho is really good. They have good guide for first time use.
Nothing much to dislike but I feel Zoho CRM might be expensive for small organisations.
1. Scalability and No DevOps team. Auto scales everything. 2 Easier to keep track of things. 3. Billing is really easy so plus for our finance department.
Zoho creator is one the pretty cool and useful apps in the Zoho Software Suite. It gives you some formidable power and control to create business applications based on your own custom logic and use case. What makes Zoho Creator powerful is that it ships with some great ready built integrations to some of the most popular business applications like G Suite, Zapier , Twilio e.t.c
Zoho creator has quite a bit of a steep learning curve to pick-up. There is builder included but to really leverage the entire suite of features, you may need to brush up on your Deluge Script. This is a programming language created by Zoho.
Zoho creator helps bridge the gap between apps for simple solutions you can't find on the market or quite simple to build. We were specifically looking for a solution that integrates Zoho CRM and Twilio to make calls directly from the CRM. We were able to quickly build a simple but scalable solution using a pre-built extension in the Zoho Martketplace.
@ Great flexibility to customise the application to meet exact needs @ Simple and attractive pricing plans that work well for a business that is attempting to scale - pay as you grow plans @ Can pilot and test new apps almost in real time @ Workflow automation and quick reporting views
Certain limitations with the email functionality - cannot email a custom page to a client
@ Business development - lead management @ Seller management & onboarding @ Order management & operations @ Invoicing, billing & fund transfers
Inexpensive and once you do actually pay their support is pretty good.
Some of the scripting is not intuitive, but maybe that is because I am old
Customizable, easy to access and search online database.
Easy to implement, easy to connect, very powerful in terms of volume data management. All the stats you need (Zoho reports intergration), all the CRM functions you need (Zoho CRM). The deluge script is easy to understand and code.
The forms' screen is bland (but this is going to gete better in Zoho creators '2017 version. Thr printing engine is powerful but not well manipulated (this is also going to get better in the 2017 version).
All management functions from the quote to order to invoice for some complex mamangement process.
Generally the ease of creating forms, web forms and tracking programs. I do not have experience in creating software forms or reports and Zoho Creator makes it easy to do. I have found the support to be outstanding as well.
This is more about me than Zoho (I think). I have created a student course roster for courses that we offer and now I need to use that information to print certificates and pre-made certification cards. I cannot choose the layout of the certification cards, but must make my form fit their layout. I have not been able to accomplish that task.
We are keeping track of deployed defibrillators throughout the USA and any expiration dates so our customer does not have to worry about it. We are also close to using it to help manage our first aid cabinet delivery and inspection service. Would like to use it for class registrations and rosters, but need to work through the certification card issue first.
Compared to other App Creators like Microsoft PowerApps and Salesforce Lightning, Zoho Creator performs much better. I spend more time customizing than building the app I need, which is awesome and a great time-saver!
It would be great if there were more styling options that I could point and click to be implemented. So programming skills are still valuable to build a powerful application.
With Zoho Creator I can build simple applications without wasting money on new SaaS or developers for simple project. It's really hard to get quality applications for simple apps that help me with contacts and sales managment. So I don't want to waste a lot of time finding a developer for a simple project I'm not willing to overpay for.
Ease of use and a good deal. Support is great.
Sometimes it is hard to understand the support folks.
Tracking assets and going paperless.
It lets my business interact online with all of our clients in a customized format that I control and design.
Some user accounts are deactivated after 6 months of nonuse. This is a problem for some of my clients.
Private academic advising and counseling for college admission: we are able to collaborate on all of our students' needs within our program through Creator. I cannot image this business without it.

It's easy to build an application with minimal coding and in a short timeframe
Record limitation based on plans and deluge execution limitation
It's solving developer cost big time as most of the application can be done very quickly
I liked the built-in templates where we can use them as a foundation. It does actually work with various wireframes and we can build customer platforms as well without any struggling or much coding!!
Sometimes it is hard to understand while creating the dashboard. It doesn't calculate metrics in general ways. And creating API is also much difficult as per our needs. And it's quite much costlier for non-profit organizations like us.
We are built a donor management application with Zoho creator and it helps us to see how much we raised funds from each campaign as well as when we have to send the reports to donors as per the timeline.
It allows to create applications without too much coding experience and modify easily with table and form layouts.
It can be hard to transfer permissions between users once applications have been created.
Managing event timetables and storing data
In the labor area many times the need arises to develop some simple application that will help us to simplify in the office, such is the case of this software that helps in the elaboration of simple programs offers a chat that provides all the necessary help for the creation of the same good either to be applied in mobile devices or for fixed equipment, it is not necessary to be an expert in programming for the design of simple applications.
At the beginning it is usually a bit complicated, especially because of the amount of information that is reflected in your task panel. You should take time to analyze each of its functions. It would be advisable to improve your design through easy-to-read links or tutorials, especially for beginners, the rest seems an excellent tool and then with the practice is known how easy is its use.
This application saves me money in the hiring of a programmer for the development of any application that you want to develop, for example in the office we wanted to have an application that would allow us to keep a customer database organized, here we could have a quick response how to carry it out, every time we have any questions we go to the chat, they have a quick personalized response which I found excellent.
It is easy to build an application from scratch or existing excel sheets. You just need to drag and drop the controls or import an excel file.
If you need customizations, you need to learn their script language, DELUGE script. Although it is a quite simple script language, it may be a bit difficult for nontechnical users.
It can be used for any business processes you implement in daily business to improve efficiency. Also, you can integrate with other applications services such as Salesforce to streamline the processes with their API.
Very easy to use. The Scripting language is flexible. excellent product for those who have little or no experience in programming.
