After being reassured several times that my use case was "simple" and shouldn't take long to implement I decided to move forward with subscribing. Needless to say that was not the case.
Aggressive sales team called with the promise of incorporating Caspio as database that would replace Microsoft Access and Excel. Heaving Data wrangling proved to be impossible on the platform.

Systematizing Marketing Efforts with prospects
Easy to copy from Excel to Caspio DB then set up search forms for all the data entered.
If you go over a set limit you must upgrade to a paid version.
The software offers way more than I'm using it for, but I'm limited in my skills with this.
We have over 3500 members. Each members Radio ID changes every year (to reflect seniority) So, the searchable database is imperative on January 1st of each year.
Caspio is very intuitive and easy to use. We use Caspio to complete web forms that are necessary for completion of our job.
I wish there was a way to suggest edits through each form link rather than having to notify the employee responsible for publishing the Caspio links.
Caspio allows us to finalize our post-auction processes.

We liked some of the basic features of Caspio, but most of its other promises left much to be desired.
We're not sure what Caspio offers to companies, but compatibility with Wordpress is not among them. We were told by their sales team that there were multiple ways, including plugins and API’s that would allow us to integrate our Wordpress site. In fact, there aren’t. For example, the limit on their API calls per month would not run our app for a day. Neither of these limitations were mentioned by their sales staff, even after repeated questioning about the costs from our CEO.
We had a fully working, functioning prototype in our old database we demo’d for the Caspio sales staff and they claimed they could match all the functionality. In fact, nearly every promise they made was specifically disproven, and, the solution seemed very limited. It’s UI features left a lot to be desired. In the end, we spent over $60k and 9 months before abandoning Caspio. We finally realized the “rathole” was simply not ever going to work. Every Caspio workaround caused another problem.
Their sole resolution was to have their technical staff work with our development team. Each time, they failed to create a reliable workaround. We finally had to walk away from tens of thousands in development costs because we figured out their routine— stonewall until their technology could catch up. It never could. And, tell us that we could upgrade (again to get “that” feature. In the end, this wasn’t true. We upgraded and still, it would not do something simple.
Caspio is good at marketing, and willing to sell you anything. But its a rudimentary, overpriced solution. We ended up with Filemaker again (our old database. It’s newer versions are substantially more compatible, and Web friendly than SAS-based Caspio. Go figure?
Look for other solutions with fewer limitations, and one that will sell you on the product according to its actual capabilities.
We were trying to use Caspio as a web-based -platform. All what we got from it, however, was buggy Eye Frames.
What are the best aspects of this product?
Caspio is armed with fantastic customer support. Waiting times are very minimal. They're available most times. Caspio releases new bits of their software every few months that brings new ways in utilizing software and speeding up the time of creation.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
Right about now, I've been making use of Caspio the past several months. So far, there's not much to complain about. Some of their functionality are released a wee bit too early. That downside of that is that the stuff that comes out ended up not being thought through and through.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
For some time now, we've been making infographics and tables all throughout our site. Just recently, we launched a form. This was intended for customers to send us their information. Each form is sent to a certain e-mail address for our team to respond to so they can respond in order and on time.

What are the best aspects of this product?
I’m using Caspio for more than 4 years, and I have to say that I’m using all its applications and concepts. Its team work on improving the software and implementing even more features and concepts. It has simple learning curve. The other good thing is that you don’t have to be programmer in order to create forms on this software or to use it. I am able to create web app within hours.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
I don’t like the authentication process, because if the user is not an admin there are additional sets required.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
We need to publish searchable data, other methods we have used have higher price, but Caspio offers affordable price and great options. It helps us to increase the usage.

What are the best aspects of this product?
With Caspio I can easily and quickly create custom forms that look complex and link several forms in specific way. I am able to do all of these things without hiring programmer. I am able to create backend forms so I can manage the data I have collected. I cannot even imagine my work without this software. It helps me to do my work in a few minutes instead of few weeks.
What aspects are problematic or could work better?
It can be buggy sometimes. Whenever I run into bugs I report it immediately, they have fixed several ones. Also, I would like more options on the forms, for e.g. I would lie to make “Other” filed and to make it appear only if this option is selected. Also, when users uploads are cleared and they get error on form submission they don’t know that they need to re-attach their files.
What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?
With Caspio I don’t have to learn about PHP or other scripting language, I am able to customize the appearance with style sheets.

What I enjoyed with caspio is the great functionality and how easy it is to build tables.
When creating the drop down values in a table, I ran into issues with formatting when exporting the data.
Being able to efficiently collect mounds of data from a large number of people in real time.
