Puntos a favor:

El tipo de aplicaciones móviles que se pueden crear son son sencillas pero bastante funcionales. Funciona muy bien con Apple y, lo que más destacaría, es que puedes guardar todos los datos en la nube.

Puntos en contra:

Si quieres utilizar todas las funcionalidades que ofrece es necesario dedicarle tiempo, no es muy difícil hacerte con la herramienta, en general, es intuitiva.

Zoho Creator una alternativa a muchos programas.

hasta el momento no le he encontrado peros ni contras a este programa.

The app creator that transforms dreams into digital reality.

Comentarios: Using Zoho Creator has been an enriching experience. One of the main benefits I have gained is the ability to automate business processes, which has increased the efficiency of my company and allowed me to make informed decisions based on real-time data. It has also been a valuable tool in project management, as it has allowed me to closely monitor progress and collaboration among my team. Also, thanks to its compatibility with multiple platforms, I have been able to access my applications from any device and at any time.

Puntos a favor:

Since I started using Zoho Creator, my life as a developer has completely changed. This software has allowed me to create custom applications in a short time and without having to write a single line of code. Its drag and drop interface is so intuitive that even someone with no programming experience can easily design apps. Plus, its ability to integrate with other Zoho services and third-party applications gives it an incredible level of versatility and scalability.

Puntos en contra:

Despite all its advantages, Zoho Creator also has its disadvantages. The learning curve can be a bit steep if you have no prior app development experience. Also, although it offers many customization options, there are certain limitations in terms of design and advanced features. Lastly, costs can be high for small businesses or early-stage projects.

Extremely Versatile - Perhaps Too Versatile.

Comentarios: All in all, I would rate my experience as a 9 out of 10. Building basis databases and creating reports is very straightforward and by and large you can do a lot of things with their drag-and-drop interface quite easily. I do admit to not being very impressed with their support, and occasionally we've had issues with server uptime, but their pricing is fair and the tool is powerful. In spite of the shortcomings I have expressed, I still wouldn't hesitate to deploy Zoho again in another enterprise. It continues to drive our daily production schedule with hundreds of projects simultaneously in motion.

Puntos a favor:

I ran a web development firm for nearly 20 years prior to moving into a different industry, so I knew the power of databases and the importance of them in day to day processes. Moving in to a startup with zero infrastructure, one of my first tasks was to get a production database going. We struggled along for awhile passing Excel spreadsheets back and forth for a few months and quickly outgrew that. I did not want to create a web app from scratch with mySQL. We didn't have the developers, time, or budget to do that. So, I started looking around for a tool that would let me do what I needed to do. Zoho Creator was a perfect match. To be honest, there's not much you can't do with this tool. It will probably handle 90% of what most mid-sized businesses need. It's totally customizable, and their Deluge programming language lets you do special things that most basic web-based drag-and-drop solutions wouldn't be able to handle. To be honest, Zoho is almost too powerful. It fits our needs and we've barely scratched the surface of its abilities.

Puntos en contra:

The documentation for Zoho Creator is fair, but if you can't get your questions answered through their knowledge base, finding an expert isn't easy. Their support email is not too helpful. And while they do have a database of experienced Deluge developers that you can call on, it seems a little cumbersome to have to bring in a third party. Also, there are a couple of different versions of Zoho Creator currently in deployment. So, depending on which version your account is on, the documentation might differ - the features certainly do differ. It's a very very powerful product, but because it is a closed-source, proprietary solution, you're somewhat at the mercy of Zoho to get answers to your programming questions.

Security flaw within Zoho Creator

Puntos a favor:

I've been using this app for a couple of years and a lot of my business is based around it. I would usually rave about how good it is

Puntos en contra:

I have a data security issue with the app. The product claims that your user data is protected, but there is a flaw with the way the dropdown menu data is shared. Lets say you enter some data in one sheet, and want to use this data in another sheet via a dropdown menu. Not only is your data shown, but so is everyone else. This cannot be fixed by profiles / roles / filters etc. I am on the unlimited users plan and this is a serious flaw in the system for me. I have been unable to further develop my app for a month or so and take it to the next level for my business. I have communicated this with Zoho and they have acknowledged the issue and told me a developer can fix the problem. I have paid one of their certified developers to fix this for me - but he just took my money and hasn't been in touch for a month or so. I have made a formal complaint to Zoho about him, but he is still listed on their website as a certified and recommended developer. I have asked numerous times for help and have got no where. I am now just being passed from one unknown support person to the next. I am absolutely fed up. It seems that this issue could be solved in an hour or so, but I have now probably spent over 12 hours of my own time on it and still don't have a solution.

Zoho Creator: Advanced Functionalities for Streamlined Business Process Management

Comentarios: Overall, Zoho Creator is a great solution for businesses looking for an all-in-one platform to manage their business processes. It's easy to use, feature-rich, and offers powerful automation and analytics tools.

Puntos a favor:

Zoho Creator is an incredibly powerful and user-friendly business process management platform. With its easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, users can quickly create custom forms and reports to streamline their business processes. It also offers a wide range of advanced features, such as workflow automation, data integration, and analytics tools, to help businesses run more efficiently.

Puntos en contra:

Zoho Creator can be a bit overwhelming for those who don't have any coding experience. Also, the interface can be a bit cluttered and confusing at times, making it difficult to navigate.

Happy User

Comentarios: Tracking billing, services, expenses, and clients in one place has made zoho my one stop shop. Great customer service whenever I need it.

Puntos a favor:

It is what you put into it. I'm happy with mobile access through the web and endless customization abilities.

Puntos en contra:

Some time so many customizable options can be overwhelming. It's clean, but if you aren't in it regularly and they make a big backend design change... you may get lost really easy.

Alternativas consideradas: Salesforce Sales Cloud

Razones para cambiar a Zoho Creator: I needed something more like a simple relational database. I didn't really feel like what I needed from a product was customizable in other strictly CRM products.

Powerful and easy to use creator solution at a reasonable cost.

Comentarios: We use the software to keep track of computer assets from an app created in Zoho Creator and like the rest of their solutions was easy to use and powerful. Support is also excellent and responses are quick despite the time differences.

Puntos a favor:

You can quickly and easily make a powerful app or database that you can use across desktops, tablets and mobiles. There are a lot of templates to start with or you can make your own without too much of a learning curve.

Puntos en contra:

A lot of the template wizards are aimed at solutions for the States and need a lot of changing around if in the UK.

Alternativas consideradas: FastField y Caspio

Razones para elegir Zoho Creator: Microsoft Access didn't have a good online solution and we needed access to all staff via the internet and not just internally.

Razones para cambiar a Zoho Creator: Zoho has a cost effective route to market and as we use a lot of their other products, we can easily switch data between each of their applications or incorporate data from cloud solutions.

A Helpful Tool for Short Reports & Info Sharing

Comentarios: In general the app is a quick and easy way to submit and share data reports - especially for companies with remote employees who need to share customer and sales data in a timely fashion.

Puntos a favor:

I like that the Zoho Creator is pretty flexible and can be customized to meet the needs of any company. For us, we use this app to allow remote employees working events in retail locations to submit customer and sales data in real time through the app.

Puntos en contra:

The app could use a bit more of a cosmetic face lift as right now it is somewhat bland. The app is simple enough to use but can be more engaging for the user if the layout is improved.

Zoho Creator - Rapid App Development

Comentarios: Mostly this has been used for prototyping and proof of concept for larger projects that end up being developed on other platforms. It's great value for what you get. If you are using other elements of the Zoho suite there are good integrations and Creator would be great for adding functionality for the likes of first-line workers in the organisation.

Puntos a favor:

Zoho Creator is an application development tool sold as a stand-alone SaaS product or as part of the Zoho One Suite. Zoho Creator is a quick way to create applications without writing code. You can create forms, reports, pages and workflows largely through a drag-and-drop interface. There is a custom scripting language available for more complex requirements, but most users will be sticking to the no-code features. This is a good solution for collecting data on web forms and presenting it in meaningful reports. Completed apps can be embedded on websites or made available to users within or external to the organisation. Apps created are responsive and designed to display well on desktop, tablet or smartphone. Typical use cases are collecting data for surveys, tests and managing assets. With a bit of practice, you can create functional apps with triggers for email notifications and the like. Zoho Creator can be a good tool for agile teams to use for proof of concept for larger projects that may be developed further on other platforms.

Puntos en contra:

Could be dangerous in the wrong hands - ease of use is a double-edged sword. You'll still want to retain control of these kinds of tools; it's easy for enthusiastic amateurs to get carried away!

Zoho Creator: Pros and Cons Complete Review

Puntos a favor:

I liked how Zoho Creator is simple to use and has an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. It also includes a plethora of features that allow for the rapid development of complex applications. Furthermore, the ability to automate tasks across multiple systems, such as Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, and Zoho Mail, makes Zoho Creator a powerful tool for streamlining business processes.

Puntos en contra:

The limited customization options in Zoho Creator were my least favorite feature. Even minor changes to the user interface can be time consuming. Furthermore, data migration from other applications into Zoho Creator can be difficult.

How to customize like apro!

Puntos a favor:

It has CustomizationEase to useInexpensive

Puntos en contra:

It is limited Can't print duplicate records

Good for administrative apps

Comentarios: Overall I found that is quite easy to build a stable, clean and powerful app in Zoho creator, it's a big deal to be able to write my own code and customize the form definition as well.

Puntos a favor:

I found Zoho creator easy to use and developer friendly as well. They made things quite simple, for every app the users will need to input data (forms) and view that data (reports), to create both is really easy and the new editor lets you create custom HTML pages so extend your app to any possible layout. I like to be able to write code for the app, Deluge does quite good. The syntax is quite easy to understand and the error hints are most of the times really accurate. Is good to be able to communicate between forms and apps, making Zoho creator apps quite versatile. I also use Schedules often to collect trash, organize records or upgrade records based on a time variable; the reports can go from barebones to complex pivot charts, is useful that you can see underlying data clicking on each segment of the chart.

Puntos en contra:

I have had some issues with the introduction of the new editor, I like the Old editor to code and the New editor to create custom pages (you are forced to do so), it's often confusing to remember that you have to switch in order to perform one task or the other. Another issue I have had to cope with several times is the lack of a time-only field, not date-time. I had to use workarounds when I needed the user to input time. Same with try-catch functionalities or being able to edit the fields labels dynamically. Is also strange that most of the answers in the forum are only visible for the user that asked the question, making it almost useless for users trying to troubleshoot an error. The charts might take a while to load if the report has a big volume of data.

Best Database software for beginners

Comentarios: Easy to use and great value for money for a small business. The companion iPhone app is also excellent and you can easily enter data from the app. The iPad app is perfect as a POS (Point of Sale) companion.

Puntos a favor:

The things I like about this software are - 1. It is best for beginners who don't have much knowledge of building complex databases 2. It has a superb way of building databases from the excel sheets. I used to use excel sheets before and when I switched to Zoho, it turned my excel sheets into forms and tables with data in no time at all 3. The types of variables are very good. Every variable a small business owner would need is there. And it automatically selected the best variable type from my excel sheet. 4. The reports are also there easily and are very customisable. 5. There is an excellent knowledgebase also for support

Puntos en contra:

The UI could be better. It still feels clunky like a 90s software. Does not take away from the ease of use and functionality, but this is not the software I look forward to using. The colours and general design could be better.

Great product at a great price

Comentarios: I use this relational database to manage over 600 architectural licenses and association memberships. One database contains all of the licenses for 100 architects for all fifty states plus several Canadian provinces. The other database contains the continuing education (CE)requirements for each jurisdiction. The reports and query modules are used to alert me to expiration dates and how many CE credits that licensee needs before renewing. States and provinces may impose heavy penalties if the licensee does not have the required credits, or renews late.

Puntos a favor:

Flexibility: I can add and modify fields and drop lists, create and modify reports and queries, perform bulk edits.

Puntos en contra:

While backing up the data, it does not tell me when it's done. Sometimes it's done but the status is still "backing up." Usually refreshing the page helps.

Cost-effective App Builder

Comentarios: Fantastic experience with Zoho Creator. Easy to use and cost-effective.

Puntos a favor:

Zoho Creator is an effective tool for building applications for your business. We like using it because we do not have to be experienced in programming and other sophisticated tools to start using it for building apps. The apps we always build with Zoho Creator are great and they boost our daily operations.

Puntos en contra:

Unreliable customer care support team. No other valid reason to complain about Zoho Creator because it has been good to our team.

Data management made easy

Comentarios: For us, Zoho Creator was the solution for data management, and easy-to-use database handling and form creation. To that, you add various integrations and you get a great way to handle and use your data in different ways.

Puntos a favor:

I have used Zoho creator for more than four years, so I have witnessed many changes and implementation of new features, and that's is one of the things I love about Zoho Creator, how they modernize the product and improve it year after year. In our case, we use Zoho Creator for data management and some integrations and, for us, it is an excellent and easy-to-use solution.

Puntos en contra:

Despite being, in general, an easy-to-use tool, the advanced options are not easy to master, and the documentation is not the best.

Zoho Creator is a Winner in Running Applications

Puntos a favor:

This software is a winner with what it has to offer. I like the fact that it can check and monitor if there are bugs in the system. We work from our desktops, tablets and phones, and this software is able to run applications without giving me any headaches. I love the graphics and I know that are gadgets are always protected and secured.

Puntos en contra:

The customer support department is quite inept when it comes to issues and concerns. They need to train their staff to be quick to resolve issues so we don’t have to wait that long.

Automate your business processes!!!

Comentarios: Overall, very happy with the solution. We use it to manage our QC and RMA processes.

Puntos a favor:

Zoho creator is intuitive and a great tool to automate business processes. We are a manufacturer and use this for QC and RMA management. I love that whatever you create can work on phones, tablets, and the web. They also have great support and they have conferences you can attend to get one on one with the developers and experts and get your questions answered. You can't beat the price either!

Puntos en contra:

Creator was upgraded to creator 5 relatively recently and all of the help documentation has not yet been updated accordingly.

Enjoyable to use and productive but lacking in theming functions and scalability questionable

Comentarios: Very easy to create a CRUD application to gather and manipulate data with some integration and reporting features.

Puntos a favor:

Very easy to build a CRUD application using drag and drop form designer. Deluge scripting language is javascript like and easy to carry out simple transformations and calculations. It's simple to pick up and quite powerful. The UI is clean and quite nice by default but themes cannot be customised. Ability to take input from web facing forms captured to a backend Creator database for further processing and workflow. This is a great feature that makes it very suitable for web based leads and enquiries, CRM functions and bookings.

Puntos en contra:

Very limited UI customisation, basically you have to pick a theme and stick with that Feels quite restrictive to the Zoho ecosystem Report design is poor and difficult to understand but actually quite versatile once you dive deep Mobile app is appealling, but I don't like the way it has to run within the Zoho wrapper app. End users don't really understand that you open Zoho Creator and then you open your database/application. Would be better to be able to compile to individually wrapped apps.

Great Database

Comentarios: I would rate it at 90 % of Satisfaction///

Puntos a favor:

The programing is Very simple and it has what seemd endless functions that can be used to improve business communication and Logistics Operation...

Puntos en contra:

That it is Slow at time of loading most of the time..

Decent application builder if you're working with ZohoCRM

Puntos a favor:

Integration with ZohoCRM is simple with Creator. Features are decent but I would suggest that you look into whether Creator meets your specific business needs as the templated solutions may not fit.

Puntos en contra:

Exclusive use of Zoho's deluge language makes any troubleshooting a bit of a challenge since support is not 24/7. If Creator used a standard programming language, we could ask questions through stackoverflow or the general public who knows that language.

Awesome field app with no internal mobile team.

Comentarios: Awesome, we are not planning to replace Zoho soon.

Puntos a favor:

The ability to send and consume data to and from zoho creator via API was awesome in integrating to to our internal products.

Puntos en contra:

The limited features working offline or in patchy network areas was a huge problem.

Great for reports!

Puntos a favor:

Zoho creator gives you the ability to generate so many different reports for sales and inventory as well as others.

Puntos en contra:

Sometimes when Zoho updates it can break a report or take away access that you may have granted but that is an easy fix.

Zoho Creator review

Comentarios: Highly recommended for business operation

Puntos a favor:

Best application builder that has different functionalities suited for business and personal use. You can collaborate with the team and sync the updates while the development is ongoing. You can upload files and documents that can be use to be a source of database of your application. it has different templates that is ready to use and its highly customize to suited on the user requirements. No need for coding skills because its user-friendly. It has 15 days trial period for free.

Puntos en contra:

the 15 days trial period. This can be promoted as free forever by setting some limitation on the functionality for free and paid.
