"Zoho Creator - One of the best product from one of the best Bootstrapped Company"
What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

Zoho and it's products provides a comprehensive, customizable, flexible, ease to use platform for most of the problems. Highly user interactive, Ease in Application Deployment, Provision of Security Policies, Making Business processes Automated, Making it functional on Laptop or Desktop or mobile are other advantages. Smartness by using the Intelligent Assistant, Searching business data easier and Faster by search tool, Making Dashboards Easily by using Business Intelligence, Its In-Built Live Chat system eliminates the need to purchase additional chat software, in a way that avoids switching apps, reducing errors, saving Time, More productivity. Its AI helps in getting essential particulars, initiating calls,activate a chat instead of you, Keep a sharp eye on social activities and update you, evaluate and extract leads.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

Zoho Products has some of the Loopholes as a Free plan offers limited functionalities forcing to opt for paid versions. Many times, Zoho products don't integrate. One of the Main points is its automation process that makes void of human-intervention in creating functions, least coding while developing an Application. The introduction of new features always entails a few bumps and bugs. If by mistake this bug software is upgraded, the chance of assisting is a bit late. With competitive Giants like Google, Facebook, software catching-off-guard is a tough reality. Live Automatic reloading, geolocation, Tracking does not get supported if browse and application back button is not working. Importing contacts from social media sites is not always supported.

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

As a ZohoCreator Developer, there was an ease in creating Applications, Custom Functions are easily created, WorkFLows are created with the support of inbuilt-support, Designing and deploying mobile application accomplishing requirements was of great user-experience . A Programmer like me is provided with tremendous capabilities in the design of an application using a few steps, Database Programming art,Scalability, Security, Data integrity, Reliability. Quality assurance engineers are not required for validating, verifying the application. Deployment can be done on both Android and iOS apps. Predesigned applications can be improved or customized later on.

"Zoho Creator - Good way for non developers to create apps"
What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

- Ease of use; competent users can get productive fairly quickly - Departments can create useful apps without involving IT

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

Can be dangerous to let some users loose on this kind of thing. If they don't know what they are doing, IT ends up having to pick up the pieces - or worse, the business can end up using an app that isn't fit for purpose.

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

Allows business department to create simple apps quickly that can provide value. Devops use this to prototype apps that might be delivered using other tools and technologies.

"Custom app for our business"
What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

The thing I like most is the ability to interface with my Zoho CRM and the ability to create an app the is exactly a match for my business, instead of using pre made apps where they either lack the function that I need or one needs to create work arounds.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

What I don't like is how easy Zoho makes it sound for us non coders to create apps. I find basic forms and reports very easy to create, but once I started to try to do more complex things with my data, I felt Deluge script is just like any other language I don't know. I am sure people who develop database apps on a regular basis and know other programming languages probably see Deluge as an easy way to create what they want, but for me the small business owner who just needs an app that works, Deluge script can be a bit overwhelming.

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

We have developed a course management app for our on-site English language classes given at our customers locations. We are able to track all teacher and student activity including setting up schedules, student lists, attendance reporting, cancellations and reschedules, and payroll for our instructors.

"Nice Low Code Application but Sometime it Sucks"
What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

This is a low code application which means you can create your workflow/process and automate them. Also, you can connect with so many applications to automate your manual work. It has drag and drops option to create a form but you should know Deluge to create a function and actually get benefit from this.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

1. There is some restriction as this is a low code app. 2. You need to know Deluge to be able to use this. 3. Sometimes it takes forever to load/save any forms. 4. They do not have an application to install on Windows/Mac.

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

1. We use Zoho to gather all the information. Automate personalized emails depending on the information we gather. Send those emails. 2. In supply chain management, we use to keep track of inventory, and sales orders, order new products when running low, and create shipments.

"Flexible Tool at a Reasonable Price"
What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

Zoho Creator is really flexible and easy to use. Basic forms can be created by users of many levels (doesn't take an IT person) and the ability to use Deluge, their own scripting language, really opens up the possibilities.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

Things can get complicated (or impossible) when you get into more of a relational structure. While it's possible to build forms based on selections in related tables, I've run into problems when this more complex/involved. It's still a low-scale platform-as-a-service so the scalability is a bit limited.

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

Zoho has allowed us to create forms and store information related to vehicle mileage, sales opportunities, etc. Using the data saved from previous entries, we can then build calculations or populate future form entries, thus saving time or preventing inaccurate data entry.

"Zoho Creator a good solution for workflow"
What do you like best about Zoho Creator?

It's all in one place, we use forms for workflow for our sales department, programming, digital and engineering team. It helps me as a department head to delegate work and i can keep people informed and keep tasks organized and even refer back to them thanks to the amount of records you're allowed to save.

What do you dislike about Zoho Creator?

Their support takes a while to get back you you. It helps to have some coding background, the UI can be hard to get used to.

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

We now have an organized flowchart workflow of orders of things that need to be done, and they are completed and the person who submitted the form gets notified when the order is complete, cuts down on unnecessary emails and phone calls.

"Application Creation using Zoho"
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.

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.

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.
