What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

Over the years I've come to use Zoho Creator quite extensively and it's been a massive hit for me. Zoho Creator puts time, ease of use, and just the ability to focus on your creative input, right in your hands.

Recently, I got abit bored, so i picked up laravel to develop an app I had already built with Zoho Creator. I wanted to see how long it would take me to get it up to the level I had done on Zoho.

It took nearly 3 months to get that app up to production level. That's something I had setup and ready in Zoho Creator in less than two weeks! And thats only because I lazied about while working on it. It should have taken no longer than a week.

The cool thing about Zoho Creator is, you don't need to be a tech guru. The drag and drop UI kits is adequate enough for a lot of tasks. And if you got even the slightest development knowledge, then the Deluge engine is so easy to use, you'll feel as if you've used it before. This in particular helps me to get around certain problems i can't solve using the drag and drop or built in functions.

I've developed alot of apps with Zoho Creator. From Terminal Operations App, to Asset Management, Warehouse Management, Restaurant App, Access Control, EDI for Shipping, etc.

I've also integrated Zoho with other Workflow apps like Kissflow, to access external data via API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

Well I think they'd need to take the UI experience up a notch or two. While full control of UI features in apps like Zoho Creator is typically limited, I think they can raise the bar, and allow developers create truly bespoke looking apps doesn't just function to design, but looks and feels like a premium app, especially on moble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Creator solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Creator is making it easy to turn business process management ideas into reality, without dancing around large development teams. I've been able to rapidly come up with solutions to problems that would have taken months to get to production. Zoho Creator is fantastic at that, especially considering it's powerful low-code features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Creator solving and how is that benefiting you?

Easy in house application. To pilot a new application at low cost. Anyone can use after little training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

The best part of Zoho Creator is its no-code platform, which allows us to create applications for our businesses based on our needs without having to write fixed lines of code. It is also an easy way to get data from forms and make graphs from them, as if you had several forms that were linked together and you could extract information from all of them.

I enjoy the drag-and-drop capability for creating forms and deluge, which is minimal code programming that makes coding simple. Zoho Creator enables any organization to have better flexibility in their operations and grow their processes with easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

I'm having a lot of issues with API integrations; it's tough to know how many requests I can make, which makes it difficult, and I'd want to have picture compression in Zoho itself. We cannot write JavaScript with HTML on the pages; it only enables us to write html and CSS codes, yet there is a new feature called widget that allows us to make pages with JavaScript.

What problems is Zoho Creator solving and how is that benefiting you?

This tool allows you to easily design and create intuitive applications, automate workflows, and support many programming languages, Zoho Ctreator allows you to create complex formula functions with many user input triggers. We've found Zoho Creator to be extremely useful, especially for managing and developing custom ERP solutions for internal needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

Ease of use, the flexibility to prototype with a single user and subsequently release to the market, as well as the capacity to scale up and down account levels, solid community support, and decent professional support teams are all desirable. I appreciated the built-in templates that we can use as a basis, how it works with multiple wireframes, and how we can construct platforms for customers without any hassles or scripting. What I appreciate best about this program is the ease of use and resources accessible, which allow a user with no expertise in application development to build an application that meets their needs at the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

We've encountered latency issues or random crashes in some browsers, and the team is trying to address them. I'd want to see more module settings available to the author so we can keep creating with them. When designing the dashboard, it might be difficult to comprehend since measurements are not calculated in a generic method. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Zoho Creator solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes it simple to prototype an application with the pilot project previous to the company's further investment in a genuine solution, in our case the convenience of use to develop the front-end of the application and the semi-managed backend. The surprise aspect of establishing applications, rules, and approval flows, the convenience of generating tables with various sorts of data, the ease of executing simple or sophisticated calculations, and the resources of the mobile application to use it from anywhere.

What problems is Zoho Creator solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Creator is a low-code application development platform that enables users to create custom applications for their specific business needs without extensive coding knowledge. The platform aims to solve the problem of traditional software development, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and require specialized skills. Here are some key problems that Zoho Creator addresses and the potential benefits:

1. Complexity of Application Development:

- Problem: Developing custom applications traditionally involves a complex and lengthy process, requiring skilled developers and extensive coding.

- Benefit: Zoho Creator simplifies the application development process with a low-code approach, allowing users to create applications through a visual interface with minimal coding. This reduces the time and resources required for application development.

2. Cost of Development:

- Problem: Traditional software development can be expensive, especially for small and medium-sized businesses with limited budgets.

- Benefit: Zoho Creator's low-code platform can be more cost-effective, as it reduces the need for hiring expensive developers and streamlines the development process. This makes custom application development more accessible to businesses with budget constraints.

3. Rapid Application Deployment:

- Problem: Traditional development cycles may be slow, leading to delayed deployment of necessary applications.

- Benefit: Zoho Creator enables rapid application development and deployment, allowing businesses to quickly address their specific needs and respond to changing requirements in a more agile manner.

- Problem: Off-the-shelf software may not fully meet the unique requirements of a business, necessitating customization.

- Benefit: Zoho Creator provides a flexible platform where users can customize applications to suit their specific workflows and business processes. This ensures that the applications meet the exact needs of the organization.

In summary, Zoho Creator addresses the challenges associated with traditional application development by providing a low-code platform that is cost-effective, user-friendly, and facilitates rapid deployment of customized solutions.
