Zoho Creator Reviews: 4.3/5 — Solid Choice

It is a very easy to use application, its interface is very simple and friendly so its learning curve is null, can be used even by the least experienced person, we worked on the basis of a pre-existing template in the system as it fitted very well to meet our needs as a business, through Zoho Creator we were allowed to perform billing as well as employee management, tracking of built-in accounting, monitoring and inventory management, kitchen and menu management. In addition to its great integration with it integrates very well with other Zoho applications (for Zoho One users) such as Zoho CRM and Zoho Books.

I would like a modernization of the interface, since it is something basic, as well as expand a little customization of the board as for example have the ability to enter the logo of our business as background program, in addition to the lack of history storage so it would be of great help when making the accounting reports that we could have at least a history of the last three months and make balance sheet accounting to cite an example.

We have had this tool since the opening of our restaurant so it mainly helped us to organize, in the first instance with the creation and control of inventory of inputs and food, in addition to the design and implementation of the menu, in addition to the allocation and distribution of tables in the local, has been of great help so we have been growing as a business by the hand of Zoho Creator, we are pleasantly satisfied with its performance and efficiency so we will continue to use this program as it enjoys great reliability.

My favorite tool for creating simple and easy to manage apps is Zoho Creator. I like this tool very much because it provides less complicated tools that enables me to create good-looking and helpful business and personal apps even if I am not a talented programmer. The tool is excellent.

No dislikes because Zoho Creator has been very reliable. Through Zoho Creator, I have learnt many things about app building and I am ready to continue using it.

This cloud based tool has been very helpful to me because I have learnt a lot from it. It has simple tools that creating apps using them is very easy. They are self-explanatory. Things or apps created using Zoho Creator are perfect and simple to run.

Thanks to Zoho creator we can create all kinds of applications for our company, and then offer them to our clients, without spending large amounts of money, paying for platforms such as google, where only companies with large investment capital can access, I can create in a way quick and easy applications, for shops, restaurants, schools and much more, with predefined templates, where the creation process is done very fast, with only a basic knowledge, in programming.

The programming code used in Zoho Creator is a little-known programming language, there is not much information on the internet, the documentation is very small, you must have basic knowledge in different programming languages, in order to use this language in a simple and uncomplicated way, but for novice developers, it can be a little difficult, to create the different sequences of applications, you must practice a lot, to understand the language deeply.

We can create applications of all kinds, without major expenses, you should only have a basic knowledge of programming to develop all kinds of applications, thanks to this we can offer applications, almost for any use, to the different institutions and people that require our services, we can offer you a fair price, since we work expenses, are quite minimal.

Zoho Creator is my favorite system when it comes to the building of simple but essential mobile apps. It provides a great and easy to understand user interface that enables the users to build powerful mobile applications for their businesses or for using personally. It is not an expensive app builder. It is fast to use and easy to understand.

I use the apps the mobile apps that were built using Zoho Creator to date and I have not found any problem with them. The process of building them was also incredible. Therefore, I do not anything negative about it.

Creating mobile apps without programming skills is now a reality with the aid of Zoho Creator. Although the apps may look simple, I see them as beneficial because they assist us a lot in running our business operations.

Zoho Creator is a great tool that we used to create mobile applications in our organization. Zoho Creator was easy to install, customize and also to use. It had great features that enabled us to create the best mobile applications for our firm.

The only disappointing thing that I experienced about Zoho Creator was the customer care team, which was somehow inconvenient and slow.

This is a great mobile application development tool that made it easy for us to build our favorite applications. It is an essential tool that I can urge other to start using it.

I like using Zoho Creator because it allows me to create all sorts of applications that allows us to run our business smoothly. Zoho Creator is an easy to use and inexpensive software. It works very well for us. Therefore, it has made me like the idea of creating applications, which is fun.

I do not dislike the app but I do not like how slow the technical team is. They should improve to enhance efficiency.

Zoho Creator is the best tool for creating business applications. I like and enjoy all the mobile applications created using Zoho Creator. The tool has a user-friendly interface. It has solved all our needs of creating business apps.

This application works to carry out those ideas of simple applications that we want to develop and translate, through a desktop that shows the various topics to select, the taskbar is well explained to perform any application that in some way or another provides us our labor activities saving time and hiring staff unnecessarily, especially when it can be done by ourselves without having experience in systems providing the necessary tools to achieve what we propose.

For companies that start if they do not have the capital is more difficult to use, for many people it would be complicated to believe in an application that could carry out that program that we have in mind that would be the first barrier, with the use will be given how easy it is also has a technical support chat attentive to any question or comment that is required to make in order to resolve any questions.

It is not necessary to be a computer specialist in order to carry out an application that fits our needs and help make our activities easier by saving unnecessary expenses on something that with some help we can create ourselves.

The best part of Zoho Creator is to crack the taboo among the people that only developers or techies can build an app. The customized buttons and process which Zoho creator builds is the amazing feature which motivates any user to create the app on their own for their requirements.

The mobile app can be worked with better UI and user-friendly which will help the people to go for the mobile usage compare to web app usage.

Initially, we used to work with excels in data management and other cloud source platforms to save the data. Later we got to know about the Zoho platform which helped us to create our own customized apps and save the data into the Zoho forms. This will save time and efforts. The beauty of Zoho creator is that we can generate many reports using these data and connect to other Zoho applications.

Customization capabilities, easy to use, easy to exchange information and organize information.

It is not very aesthetically pleasing.

Allows co-workers to collaborate on the same products, leave comments and alter formulas based on these comments.

You can make a business web app easily with a drag and drop interface.

It is still a little complicated if you are not a programmer.

An internal documentation system on customer contacts.

Its a whiteboard with tools where you can build whatever you want.

Its user interface is not that great to see.

Majority of our Apps hardly takes few hours or a day to build. Complex Applications took a couple of months to build but it reduced 80% of our Manual Efforts. For a small team like us, it made a huge impact Since we could now deploy our resources for more impactful work. It's more than what we expected out of creator. In fact, we were able to achieve what we initially thought of doing. 99% of the time, we have never faced any major issues & Remaining 1% Support team did a wonderful job in helping us fix it. We could be able to send E-Receipts to Donors in just 1 Click, which took us months to do earlier. Automatic Reminder emails to Donors regarding Donation Followup. Automatic Donor tagging upon donation data upload. We run multiple events on a given date & Volunteer Sign Up is made easy. We use it for Student Attendance Tracking. We have embedded Zoho Forms in our website for people to sign up for our various initiatives. Even for donations, we capture Donor's data using Zoho Creator forms. We had seen 400% growth within 2 months after started using Zoho Creator. I could not imagine work without Zoho Creator. And, now we strongly believe that we made a right decision 8 years back to start using Zoho Creator.

OK. So I'm sure an app developer would laugh at my title, but for the small diy business operation, it gets the job done. My team and I are able to create apps that streamline our operation. But my favorite thing about Zoho is their customer support. These guys actually care about seeing you succeed.

No complaints. Though a quality youtube library of tutorials showing off different apps you could make would be spiffy. Ah - and more drag and drop, or easy control over the VISUALS aesthetic of your app. If they could make it noob-friendly to do more customization on the front end of your app, that would be wonderful.

I need an app for student applications, customized the way our dean wanted it. Zoho has met these needs. It's also creating a database of our student body! Very handy for book keeping and organization.

The ease of use and flexibility Deluge Scripting language provides. Its basically Built for non-programmers. Zoho Creator equips non-programmers with tools for building applications. Just plan what you want your application to do, and then use the drag-and-drop interface to accomplish your goals.

When displaying charts on a html page you can not add criteria to a chart the same way you apply it to the view itself. params='Vendedor=<%=user.Nombre%>'&zc_Header=false so you end up adding custom filters to the chart and once open need to run the selected filter you need.

Inventory Management Production Schedules traceability Account Receivables

Say goodbye to spreadsheets with applications built to your business's exact needs.. With Zoho Creator we can design applications that perform exactly how we want and need them to. Forms within the same application integrate smoothly, and reporting features are awesome. The integration with Zoho CRM is great too!

The record summary, or ability to generate a printable form or PDF, is one of our biggest requests. This is a feature now but it is lackluster to say the least.

The lack of need for individual spreadsheets stored locally on employees PC's and always needing updated and emailed to others is huge. All data is always stored within the app and able to be viewed by all employees who have access to the app. We are able to design apps with the exact info we need to report on, giving us great insights to what we do.

Creator is easy enough to use for business people to build their own simple apps themselves. It is also powerful enough for professional developers to build complex business applications at a fraction of the cost of traditional platforms.

There are a few things that you just can't do in Creator. Usually these things can be solved with a bit of flexibility and creative problem-solving but users don't always get exactly what they had in mind.

I create business apps for a wide variety of small and medium sized enterprises. Anything from a services scheduling app for an apartment rental agency to a complex back-end system for a marketplace site. Creator also gives tremendous power and flexibility to the already phenomenal Zoho CRM (Plus). Although CRM can do amazing things on its own, every organization has some specific needs that CRM doesn't solve out of the box. Creator can plug those gaps with simple but powerful integrations.

Versatility - You can deploy at a beginner level and expand through the elegant script builder and the onto free scripting. ZOHO Creator is ELEGANT refined, logical and sensible. DELUGE is a a very easy, yet powerful scripting language which opens incredible opportunities. I liked ADOBE FC and moved (as required) to JOTFORM as an immediate haven. This transition didn't cut it - ZOHO does! The ability to send responding emails on field, if statements, is an absolute bonus. Workflow efficiencies are simply sensational. Also, customer issues have never been the fault of ZOHO server inaccessibility.

It would be great if there were a greater variety of scripting examples , beyond the explanation of syntax structures.

Online enrolment of students into a Senior College. Interviews, Course selections etc Automated workflow efficiency has stunned everyone in our College. We simply do not use paper records anymore.

It doesnt matter if you're building an app for a Doctor or a big corporation, it's so flexible and easy to use I can customize my customers needs

Deleuge programming language has it's tricks very often I find myself doing test in order for the commands to perform as I expect

Tracking activities for customers whos needs are not meet by any comercial software

The core functionality of building apps to manage business processes. I can add/change various fields myself via drag-n-drop, and we use an independent programmer for the harder things. We export to Excel to do analytics as I'm well versed, but they do offer a related "reports" app. We are integrated with the CRM which is very nice also.

Mobile apps can be buggy at times, and do not offer full functionality.

We use Creator to manage our field personnel - they access their job lists via the mobile app and upload job documentation after finishing. Payroll and billing flow from that. This is our primary business workflow, so we would be unable to function without it.

Completely customizable! I was looking for a CRM to function as an Order Management tool, nothing would fit the bill, so we've created our own tool that we can tweak to exactly suit our needs.

Functions great, but can't customize the look/feel as much as I would like.

Order Management software, nothing on the market would function as we need it too.

The ability to fully customize and allow a dummy proof database is the main power that is just not offered on prebuilt one company type fits all kind of application. You can learn everything and anything using the help. Drag and drop is great, don't have to program sizes, dimension, format of fields.

Nothing to not like that is important enough to mention. If there is something from time to time, always a way to figure out a solution for how to overcome it, just a matter of learning the product inside and out.

Automation of everything (including payroll), allowing people to only see what you want them to see or what is assigned to them. Searching and finding everything, organizing without the paperwork.

Ease of use Quick, complete, custom reports

Lack of an object-oriented html page builder Missing a section tips and tricks for users

I use to manage sectors of a hospital

1. Its very simple to build Working product 2. Its easy to scale software database and workflow processes 3. Its reliable - 99,999% of the year - we haven't experienced any downtime 4. Low-coding makes people who understand design better than code MORE PRODUCTIVE

I can't find any reason not to like or have problems with the software. We havent had any issues. Just maybe sometimes support cannot understand our demands, but its more of a login problem. We invent some applications with this software and its hard for someone in other side of world to fully understand the concept that we trying to develop.

We had made our organization more productive and simple. We did standardized hierarchy and processes. There is no other product so vast of posibilities to work with. We've made already 20 modules or more. The beauty of this software is that is versatile and its building from ground up and not working with predefined structure.

Ease of use, rapid deployment, Customizable. Webinars every week. Good support.

I like to see great support, instead of good support.

Business Problem: Streamline business processes. Benefits: minimize human errors, Minimize paper.

1. Ability to convert an existing spreadsheet onto an online cloud based application 2. Cloud based benefits on your finger tip with just one export 3. Easy and remote management of the application on both tablets and desktops 4. Online support with email and real time chat especially from unsupported countries 5. affordability as this is user based

1. support staff could be more professional 2. support staff must not assume and take for granted when helping a customer - remember your marketing says this is for non technical users 3. prices should be based on country of usage, i do realize this is cloud based though 4. provide a standard template for reporting issues to ensure all information is captured in the very first email or contact 5. ZOHO must invest in a knowledge base creation and maintenance with incentives for users to contribute to the KB.

1. simpleton service industry 2. Dropbox is already doing good for my business needs 3. ZOHO was able to place it onto cloud and stop the maintenance of our data in spread sheets

Simple and easy to create workflow, accessible across browsers and mobile platforms at very affordable licensing model. Best suited for small and medium sized companies

Segegation of customer accounts from non-eu and eu domains. All zoho suite of applications has tobe hosted in the same domain. Inability to store spatial data / locations

A real-time custome engagement system where multiple agents can access the real-time data. Zoho Creator offers a combination of simple work flow, API integration and real-time visualization of activities through in-built dashboard.

The possibility for anyone to create custom powerful applications for business even for free App builder to help beginners create apps quickly Fully cloud based Native iOS Android and Windows apps - you create YOUR custom app and you have it on every device immediately Great customer support (even for free users) Over the top security Easy integration with other services fromo Zoho and other famous brands The app database is dynamically editable including renaming, adding and deleting tables and fields Most of all If you need a simple app to manage your business you can do it yourself exactly the way you want it! And when your business grows: you hire an expert and expand your app possibilities!

Better programming documentation. A) Because a time will come when you'll do need a really simple "deluge scrip" and you'll feel frustrated B) Because the integration between Zoho products should have a step by step base doc. Let's say a wiki for dummies

I own a limo service and my business it's on the go. I needed to have apps that were shaped on my type of workflow. I didn't want to adapt my business on a standard platform. My employees and I didn't waste our time on learning a system, the app does the job the way we need to. Technology should be used to simplify my job not to standardize my business with the competition. And this is what Zoho does for me and my business.

Zoho is versatile. We use Zoho to run the entire business from managing new hire information to time tracking and customer billing.

Limited user interface capabilities. Features randomly stop working, but has excellent support staff.

The benefit is having a one stop shop for most of our business software needs.

Whether you want a simple online database or a complex system Creator allows you to do it. I have been building apps with Zoho Creator for many years and seen it grow from humble beginnings to the fully fledged system it has become today.

Sometimes you will try to push its abilities to far, but even in those situations support is there to try and find ways around the issue.

We have developed, front office systems using the client portal, through to back office administration systems.

I like the ease of creating the data base, very simple to understand and user friendly. The help tab had great options to learn, I am a visual person so the webinars were a great learning tool for me.

I have not found a dislike at this time, everything seems to work the way I expected. I have tried to run a report with a total of customers I have, it was harder then expected. Would like to see a simpler function to tally.

I am comparing my customer hard files with what our billing department was billing. I realized that working with Zoho data base I set up was a cost savings to our company, What I was able to create made me look like a genius!

- Full featured database based applications creation platform - Excellent and easy to use programming language - Integration with Zoho CRM - Easy integration with web sites - Multi-use platform - Corporate level features, like security - Workflow integration - Creation of multi-database applications - Fully cloud based - Excellent support

I would like to see better programming support documentation
