Difficult to deploy behind client firewalls Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really enjoy the Caspio user interface/use experience. It allows color coordinating, data field matching, and more to ensure your custom database is aligned in one dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the past, some data fields misaligned- but their support was quick to ensure everything was fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Caspio has the capability of creating apps with almost no coding Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it is a no code platform it still requires a lot of time to get trained on how you can make use of the platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After being reassured several times that my use case was "simple" and shouldn't take long to implement I decided to move forward with subscribing. Needless to say that was not the case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Aggressive sales team called with the promise of incorporating Caspio as database that would replace Microsoft Access and Excel. Heaving Data wrangling proved to be impossible on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We liked some of the basic features of Caspio, but most of its other promises left much to be desired. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're not sure what Caspio offers to companies, but compatibility with Wordpress is not among them. We were told by their sales team that there were multiple ways, including plugins and API’s that would allow us to integrate our Wordpress site. In fact, there aren’t. For example, the limit on their API calls per month would not run our app for a day. Neither of these limitations were mentioned by their sales staff, even after repeated questioning about the costs from our CEO.

We had a fully working, functioning prototype in our old database we demo’d for the Caspio sales staff and they claimed they could match all the functionality. In fact, nearly every promise they made was specifically disproven, and, the solution seemed very limited. It’s UI features left a lot to be desired. In the end, we spent over $60k and 9 months before abandoning Caspio. We finally realized the “rathole” was simply not ever going to work. Every Caspio workaround caused another problem.

Their sole resolution was to have their technical staff work with our development team. Each time, they failed to create a reliable workaround. We finally had to walk away from tens of thousands in development costs because we figured out their routine— stonewall until their technology could catch up. It never could. And, tell us that we could upgrade (again) to get “that” feature. In the end, this wasn’t true. We upgraded and still, it would not do something simple.

Caspio is good at marketing, and willing to sell you anything. But its a rudimentary, overpriced solution. We ended up with Filemaker again (our old database). It’s newer versions are substantially more compatible, and Web friendly than SAS-based Caspio. Go figure? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to copy from Excel to Caspio DB then set up search forms for all the data entered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you go over a set limit you must upgrade to a paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Caspio is very intuitive and easy to use. We use Caspio to complete web forms that are necessary for completion of our job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way to suggest edits through each form link rather than having to notify the employee responsible for publishing the Caspio links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to create your own web based programs to meet your own specific needs. Also the feature of unlimited users; no requirement to pay based on the number of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A GUI would be nice to improve development time. Also the system lacks flexibility in passing parameters from one datapage to another. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I enjoyed with caspio is the great functionality and how easy it is to build tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When creating the drop down values in a table, I ran into issues with formatting when exporting the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use and ability to create professional and functional applications on the fly. Very powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. I dislike not having enough time to spend developing apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
