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

I have used Zoho Creator to solve several business needs, including: - Correspondence registration and workflow (with CRM integration), - Branch management, - Human Resources database management, - Online job bank, - Agency management, - Membership management.

It works flawlessly. We created a weighted Round Robin with creator and a TTL for a lead to sit.

nothing yet. I really have had no issues since it went live

WE have made the lead process automated in a manor that the lead has a TTL and is weighted. Then passed to a round robin solution we created in zoho.

Creator is extremely powerful. The ease and power of the deluge scripting puts the power of database design in the hands of anyone with moderate computer skills.

As with all things, your greatest strength is your greatest weakness. If you are not able to script what you want, you won't get what you want. Your ability to get the most out of Creator is directly tied to your ability to script what you want to accomplish.

Our HR procedures were a nightmare. We use Creator to automate and streamline our hiring process. We have also used Creator to replace our PDF forms. We collect information on an ongoing basis in the field using the new Creator App. We are able to collect information and receive notification and custom reports instantly. We also use Creator to send out SMS messages to our workforce.

Zoho Creator has an excellent interface where you can build forms and views minutes. The pricing is very reasonable, and the customer service is fast and friendly.

The only thing I do not like is the ability to make custom reports that are not pivot tables and charts.

The best part of Zoho Creator is the ability to get it on the go across all platforms. It makes it so Mobile which helps me in my business.

Zoho Creator has allowed me to setup a business building Saas solutions for companies. It is easy to get started with but also allows people who want to take it to a living the chance to make very niche solutions that can be distributed world wide. The rage at the moment is consumer apps but there is also A LOT OF MONEY in B2B solutions that are web and mobile based. Zoho Creator is better than any other tool in creating these sorts of solutions. Easy drag and drop forms. Powerful reports and the ability to make magic happen with Deluge scripting that is a simple version of javascript. The automation of tasks and reporting workflow will streamline any business in days not months like many frameworks. The cost is cheap for having all the hosting and performance you need.

Some limits with how many deluge automations you can develop but you can simply buy more.

Managing all the workflow for a Scaffolding construction company. And selling it to multiple companies. Recording timesheets in the field for Arborists using auto timesheet comments. Doing pre configured checklist inspections for service and repair companies.

Ease of use and deployment. Also, Creator integrates seamlessly with other Zoho apps! Instead of cobbling a system together from several different services from several vendors and then finding workarounds like Zapier to link them, we have one cohesive environment that scales and grows together, effortlessly.

While most of the basic functions are extremely easy and intuitive, once you begin attempting slightly more advanced features you will need to navigate the "Deluge" script builder takes a little understanding of programming and database access. But the documentation is very thorough and Zoho support is incredible, often walking me thru solutions during a live chat session.

One of the most effective solutions we've applied Creator to is a medium sized property management company. Creator has allowed us to make a mobile app for communicating guest requests, tracking maintenance issues and inventory for 30+ vacation rental properties in two languages. We've also fully automated a Concierge business, taking provisioning orders from all over the world, tracking purchases, scheduling deliveries and managing customer requests in near real time. The benefit to all businesses is clear and easily quantifiable in reduction of customer response time, reduction of time spent on each request, accuracy of orders and requests, ability to track and follow up on issues and accuracy of reporting to managers. No more lost phone calls, dropped post-it notes or misinterpreted communications!
