Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There's a lot of online knowledge on the solution, to the point where new users can basically teach themselves how to use the solution."
"I would say that it's a very advanced product because it empowers people to do simple things, which previously may have required people to have some technical skills."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"Power Automate has been the most valuable feature."
"The solution becomes easier the set up once you get used to it."
"As a business person, I design a lot of screens. The solution really resonates with me. Their design is amazing."
"The most valuable feature is the simple data connectivity components."
"The cloud aspect has been great. We don't have to do a lot of research in order to begin integrations. It's so easy to integrate with other solutions."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible and powerful solution. I like the tool's advanced modification feature which helps to modify its layout and setup scripts."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
"When we talk of integrating with external applications, that's one area where, even today, I had to loop in my code developers. If this area can be streamlined so that my techno-functional consultants, who are on-site, can immediately start working on something without the assistance of developers, that would be ideal."
"It is not enough user friendly. It also doesn't integrate very well with SQL Server."
"There are occasional performance challenges."
"Microsoft could streamline monitoring and management. In addition, it should be easier to put the solution in different environments. For example, you should be able to move from a dev environment to a production environment seamlessly."
"They probably need to improve intelligent document processing."
"There is room for improvement in error handling and debugging."
"The set up of the solution could be simpler."
"Improvements to the capturing of geographic locations and integration with maps would raise my score of the product from seven point five to its maximum of ten."
"Zoho Creator falls short on data management, so we must connect it to other databases to handle larger datasets. However, it may still be sufficient for smaller databases. Better templates and examples for support teams or programming could be improved. Learning the Zoho Creator language, known as "Deluge," can be challenging for native programmers, so having clear examples and training materials would benefit users."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"The UI must be improved."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
