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."I run my own business and the solution allows me to invoice and pay for additional resources. It has helped me in terms of invoicing, quoting, and doing recruitment measures."
"The need for little to no code knowledge has been huge."
"This solution has provided for Rapid deployment of data collection tools, replacing spreadsheets with near real-time data."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"The product is easy to use."
"There's a lot of stability in QuickBase...I really appreciate the processing part of QuickBase, especially considering how we're able to get information in real time instead of having to wait."
"QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
"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."
"The solution's flexibility and quick turnaround are valuable."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"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."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"There is room for improvement in terms of user-friendliness."
"The mobile app has improved, but it still needs work."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"When learning QuickBase, I noticed a shift in its cost structure. It operated on a cost-efficient model tied to the number of users, with invoicing based on applicants."
". For example, we need a third-party to create and save a document in PDF, MS Word, or MS Excel format. The document saving capability is probably the feature that we most often have to procure from an outside provider."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"Access to more standard default layouts and sample builds would be useful, and access to more training on use and flexibility."
"Zoho Creator's UX design needs to be improved."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"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."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"When you're developing database-type applications, there is no way to see the actual database tables. They call them forms, and I don't like that. Zoho should also provide better user guides."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
