Caspio Pros and Cons

Caspio is well documented with articles and videos. Additionally there is a large enough customer base so users can learn from the community forums. Regardless the best thing about Caspio, speaking as a Data Enginer, is the streamlined approach to building web applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Caspio is a complete low code development platform. It allows teams to build out the frontend and backend. Regardless the data tier/database needs to be fleshed out with more industry features e.g. expand their use of their querying language, flesh out support for list strings, flesh out integration of logs etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was searching for a relational database platform that would be similar to the old Microsoft Access. When I found Caspio, I found that it is very easy to learn, is similar to Access in the functionality and is so easy to launch the apps. I love the ability to embed datapages in my website for easier access by my clients. I am very happy with this platform! When I have had issues figuring out how to use a feature, the customer support has been amazingly helpful. I currently serve 3 clients with this platform, and I hope to continue using it more.

The only downside I can think of is some of the features are a little difficult to find, and the tutorial videos are sometimes not very easy to find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been able to create systems way beyond our station. We are not an IT company but used Caspio to create systems that many large operators would love to have. In short Caspio has given us a competitive advantage.

The customer support from Caspio has been second too none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We struggle with presentation. We are not IT people, a bit of HTML skills will overcome this difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a good amount of capabilities without overloading a creator with too many complexities. It is not an overly complex system but still allows the creator to create some complex applications.

The pricing is good as well. We have created many applications that would have taken much longer in more advanced systems.

The table triggers allow for advanced table manipulation that really make an application powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would like more integration with the external systems however that does add to complexity for the creator. Also the ability to bind multiple screens within the UI rather than writing Javascript to handle the binding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The no-code or low-code software is very easy to learn and use. I had a basic database up and working in days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The more advanced features can be difficult to understand. Some knowledge of coding may be required to get the most out of the software. Caspio has an extensive library of help articles and videos which have definitely come in handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In 2018, I started using Caspio. I knew nothing about coding back then. My way of keeping track of things was with note cards, a yellow pad, a wooden pencil, and a calculator. When I was looking online for more pencils and pads, I found Caspio. They said they could help me without needing to know coding. Although I was used to using Excel and not coding, I called Caspio and talked to Ned, who works there. He jokingly told me to break my pencil in half. Making my first simple databases and pages felt great. My workers were really impressed with what I had done. They like using the Caspio pages because it makes their work easier. I haven't told them that I'm using a tool that doesn't require much coding; they think I'm a very skilled developer. My wife can even recognize Ned's voice when I'm watching his videos late at night. I really like Caspio and feel like a top-level developer in my mind.

I would appreciate it if Ned could spend more time going over HTML and CSS with us. I would like Ned to demonstrate how to use AI (Claude Sonnet) to add coding and CSS to the datapages. I find it difficult to communicate with Claude and then implement the changes on the datapage. Additionally, it would be beneficial if the support staff could be available for a longer period online to assist me. Simply sending me documents to read is not helpful when I have already reviewed them, which is why I am seeking further assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The new Caspio Flex app is AMAZING! It has allowed me to finish my app in less than a month & Im ready to launch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a downside, but it does take some time to learn the system. However, there are SO many tutorials and videos to help users figure things out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Lack of on-premise or PWA features

- Frontend UI still need a lot of improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly configurable by an administrator, extremely powerful as it is powered by microsoft sql server and aws in the back end.

Extremely fast to deploy, relatively fast learning curve.

Integration with Zapier is not free but is amazingly convenient.

Customer service team is the best I have experienced for software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No mobile app, only web app.

Nothing much to dislike, it is highly configurable and can do pretty much anything you want it to do for a relational database and web app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity of building pages, including reports and forms, but all without having to know how to write code. As you learn to include code, Caspio supports this as well in all kinds of ways! Additionally, customer support and resources online have been fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once in a while, Caspio does seem a little too slow or bogged down. Daily email notification limit has been met multiple times but might have been user error in how many emails were sending at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
