It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
I did a demo of Caspio to see if I could recreate a web application by importing a CSC file Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform. The visualization of the data pages…

The solution provides accessible and high functionality at a competitive price point
When working on an application or solution, the main part is the functionality instead of the look and feel. You could customize the look and feel, but the normal public uses a higher user interface, a rich extra interface. Zoho Creator does not support that because the solution is used for its functionality based on your core businesses and core values, but they will launch that, and it is already available in CRM. Today, they are extending their feature set. Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements. It is cheap, about $1.1, but it would be better to lower the number for those who just maintain the data instead of using Excel sheets because that will be much easier. Some don't have the budget for features like that cloud. This is a feature they have already provided free of cost for one user, but if someone wants ten or five users, a lower price would be better.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"Zoho Creator is easy to design and accessible for any business purpose. The solution is priced low and helps you meet business requirements. You can write a script based on requirements and trigger it whereby the customer will receive notifications. It is a customizable application."
"Zoho Creator helps to maintain the products in development."
"The deployment process is quite straightforward."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"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 layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"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."
