It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience

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.

Quick turnaround on project closures with a drag-and-drop interface and good value for money

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.

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."

"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."

"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."

"Sometimes, codes that are working fine can suddenly throw errors without any specific reason."

"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."

"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 platform's technical support services need improvement."

"The solution has limitations on development. It will not be suitable if you have 4000-5000 users."
