Compare Zoho Creator with other popular tools in the same category.
Zoho Creator is really flexible and easy to use. Basic forms can be created by users of many levels (doesn't take an IT person) and the ability to use Deluge, their own scripting language, really opens up the possibilities.
Things can get complicated (or impossible) when you get into more of a relational structure. While it's possible to build forms based on selections in related tables, I've run into problems when this more complex/involved. It's still a low-scale platform-as-a-service so the scalability is a bit limited.
Zoho has allowed us to create forms and store information related to vehicle mileage, sales opportunities, etc. Using the data saved from previous entries, we can then build calculations or populate future form entries, thus saving time or preventing inaccurate data entry.
It's all in one place, we use forms for workflow for our sales department, programming, digital and engineering team. It helps me as a department head to delegate work and i can keep people informed and keep tasks organized and even refer back to them thanks to the amount of records you're allowed to save.
Their support takes a while to get back you you. It helps to have some coding background, the UI can be hard to get used to.
We now have an organized flowchart workflow of orders of things that need to be done, and they are completed and the person who submitted the form gets notified when the order is complete, cuts down on unnecessary emails and phone calls.
The amount of features and customization in reports. The data is always spot on
If you get stuck building your app, it can get very frustrating. They do have a good customer support staff though, I have a plan that includes live chat
sharing real-time data across multiple platforms. Being able to log in with the Android app is incredible
Easy to Use: It is easy to use as it provides drag and drop elements, by just watching the videos you can create applications, no need for coding background. Ease of Implementation: You can make and change applications quickly with Zoho Creator, which is great for getting things done fast. Works Well with Other Zoho Apps: If you are using other Zoho apps then using Creator is great as it has easy integrations. Good for POC: You can start with basic applications and make them more complex as your business needs change and grow, can be used to pilot a new product as it is cheap and does not need development team. Pre Built Templates: Zoho Creator gives you templates for common business tasks, so you don't have to start from scratch every time.
Limited Customization: It is easy to use but it has limitations in terms of customizations compared to traditional methods, any unique requirement might not be met using this. High level application: Creating a simple application is easy but can not rely on Zoho Creator to create a high level application. Limited Third-Party Integrations: While Zoho Creator integrates well with other Zoho applications, its integration options with third-party services may be more limited compared to some other platforms. Customer Support: Zoho Support is slow and when you connecting two or more Zoho products resolving bugs and across product customization creates confusions.
Easy in house application. To pilot a new application at low cost. Anyone can use after little training.
It is a codeless application, all we need to do is drag and drop the requirements and we are able to customise the platform easily integration for other platforms is made so easy in these applications.
Costing to be re-worked as we cannot afford like a Corporates.
Codeless platform, one can be able to solve the issue without coding as well here.
It is a great low code platform. Working with it gives so much time.
The support is awful. Documentation on internet is very bad. Couldnt find anything. And very mixed in Zoho creator versions. By the way partners in Turkey is awful,unresponsible etc.
Some apps that takes too much time in general.
We use Zoho Creater at the Property Managment company I work for.
I wish when you delete something there was a way to retrieve it.
We keep track of all our properties., leases , keys, and much more.
I like that it's easy to set up and manage. We use this for a few different databases at work.
Tech support is not very fast to respond. Documentation could be better.
We use this for managing equipment requests and test planning. It's been helpful for exporting data out and is easy to explain to the team.
- The personnalization of the platform - The dashboards we can have and give an easy look to our performance
- The loading time when using the platform is quite long
I am not the owner of the business, but I think the platform helps manage many aspect of the workload of the employees.
It has a few basic apps from the gallery you can customise to work with.
It's not too user friendly, compared to other similar products this one is lacking behind in usability . Creating an application without a template is hell.
