Zoho Creator Reviews

We predominantly use Zoho Books and Zoho Creator. We are both customers as well as implementation partners. We implement Zoho solutions and build customized solutions for particular companies using Zoho Creator.

Zoho Creator provides a quick turnaround in terms of project closures, which is the most important benefit. Its drag-and-drop interface enhances app development. Integrations and schedulers are also used. Zoho applications are cloud-based, which makes updates automatic since it's a SaaS-based application. In terms of stability, we have had no issues. It is satisfactory and has value for money, especially if things are properly strategized to save time.

I use Zoho Creator to build business applications. I have developed applications for all sorts of industries based on their requirements. Industries such as manufacturing, printing, medical, logistics, e-commerce, and gun manufacturing. I have built a number of applications based on a variety of industries.

The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality. Zoho Creator allows users to input scripts. It offers full customization. Likewise, the data and the flow are good.

We use Zoho Creator at our hotel for guest relations. Guests can request services and maintenance or order food and beverages through a simple workflow, so I don't have to start from scratch. 

Zoho Creator is a low-code platform that is easy to use and manage other resources. It stands out because of its modular platform approach. It offers an ERP system with the flexibility to create various applications like service applications, customer portals, and more. It's particularly useful if you already have an ERP system and want to extend its functionality with applications for customer portals, e-commerce, or internal processes such as HR approvals and inventory management. The platform simplifies workflow creation. 

We use the tool to calculate amortization.

The integration capabilities in Zoho Creator are quite good and support our existing workload. It provides open and proprietary APIs, making interfacing with other applications easier.

I develop apps for other companies. So my use cases, I provide development, implementation, and support of our Creator apps along with the training to develop new creator apps for companies. I train the in-house employees so that they can create using Zoho Creator for their own operational needs.

It started off as a low-code platform. Right now, it is truly a no-code platform. You can have applications without writing even a single line of code, especially for people who don't have coding experience or coding knowledge. At the same time, it is equally powerful for someone who has good coding knowledge and still uses Zoho Creator and uses all of the available features to create a very, very complex system, which includes coding as well.

I use Zoho Creator for multiple use cases. Primarily, in the manufacturing industry, I maintain an inventory management system. 

Another use case involves Zoho People, where I manage employee records within the HRMS application. I also create forms that bridge Zoho CRM and Zoho Creator, enabling seamless product management.

In a specific instance, I developed an application using Zoho Creator to maintain my products. This application, hosted on Zoho Creator, is managed by my product management team. They don't directly access my CRM system. They maintain their own product management system, connected to the inventory module which, in turn, interfaces with Zoho CRM. This ensures that the sales and operations teams receive up-to-date product information.

I've also implemented other features while utilizing Zoho Creator. For instance, I've created various forms, such as opportunities and inquiries forms, which are present on our website. These forms enable us to gather requirements from different prospects, even when their product preferences are uncertain.

To illustrate, I designed a form within Zoho Creator and integrated it into our website. This form facilitates quotation requests. Customers can select products from a dropdown and specify expected prices and quantities. This allows them to calculate estimated prices. Once submitted, both my sales manager and marketing team receive notifications and PDF copies.

It's quite effective. By using these forms, we've streamlined the initial contact with potential clients. Our sales team gains insight into customer expectations and pricing preferences before engaging with them.

This proactive approach ensures that our sales team is well-prepared when reaching out to prospects. It leads to a win-win situation, benefiting both our team and the potential client. This alignment guarantees that no one falls behind, fostering effective communication and understanding.

Inside the inventory and the internal connections with the Zoom application are the most valuable features. Occasionally, we encounter situations where the workflow or API faces limitations due to allocated API credits for Zoho applications. However, 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.

I use Zoho Creator to develop custom programs for various business use cases. We're primarily creating applications for our database system, developing forms, and building dashboards for reporting.

I have created different applications for operations management

We use the product for small activities like consolidating the timesheet. We have also built a couple of applications for our enterprise clients using the solution.

It is very easy to build applications on the product. We can build an MVP within a couple of hours.
