A user can start working with Zoho Creator in about ten minutes. It is very intuitive and requires very little configuration. Every time I need to collect data, Zoho is my application for the creation of forms, and it is easy to distribute the forms in a secure way by means of a link, a password or to embed them in another site. Zoho has excellent customizable workflows if you are able to handle minimal programming.
If you can devise an application, a business workflow, a business data scenario or anything else, Zoho Creator can handle it. They have previously created applications that can be modified to suit the needs of your business application, or you can create applications from scratch. Basic applications with basic workflow or notifications can be set in minutes. Creator integrates very well with other Zoho applications.
The user interface is very basic and you could probably use an update to modernize a bit. It would also be good if the user interface could be more highly personalized. I use Zoho Creator mainly to create forms that I send to people who do not require something very nice with a lot of graphic design. If I needed a visually appealing form, Zoho would not be my choice because it does not have many features.
The customer service is excellent. I have used live chat on occasion and there is always someone there and will contact me later if they can not solve the problem immediately. I recommend Zoho Creator if you require the functions it offers you.
Zoho Creator is a quick way to create a web form for user submissions, for anything from an internal survey, a job-related data collection form or a client website submission form.
It is a good software, we have been using the software from the past 10 months, so far we have not faced any problem. It is very good value for money. More secure towards your business needs and all.
I dont think of that right now, if we are really upto something big enough I don't think we can make use of zoho creator
Easy and simple, if u really looking for something interesting for your business needs,i will recommend you this.
Business management and new marketing
Easy interface with drag and drop applications builder
It is a multipurpose tool that we use widely to make control and control of the projects, being in phase of planning or execution, since it allows me the management of documents, administration of tasks, has a customizable dashboard, besides being a database of projects and clients, another very outstanding feature is the graphical workflow editor, in addition to allowing access controls to team members and users of the application, also as it is based on the cloud from the mobile application I can access my information and add or modify fields and remove lists, create and modify reports and queries, make massive edits. On the other hand, the report generator is very robust and has very flexible import/export tools.
It requires a learning curve because due to its wide variety of functions can be overwhelming for inexperienced users. additionally I would like to be able to incorporate graphics in terms of compliance with assigned tasks, would generate greater visual impact.
It gave us the possibility to create or customize an application to manage our workflow which was vital for our performance and performance as a team, made it easier for us to track all the processes related to the execution of our forestry projects and what is more important to control and monitor the times of execution of the activities and tasks assigned to the different members of our team, This is important because when it comes to crops of plant species the times are decisive for the achievement of goals and should be taken into consideration for greater use of the rainy season and take preventive measures or contingency in times of drought for the success of the project. So this tool Zoho creator, was instrumental in increasing our effectiveness and productivity.
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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!
Overall: 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.
It is a very easy to use application, its interface is very simple and friendly so its learning curve is null, can be used even by the least experienced person, we worked on the basis of a pre-existing template in the system as it fitted very well to meet our needs as a business, through Zoho Creator we were allowed to perform billing as well as employee management, tracking of built-in accounting, monitoring and inventory management, kitchen and menu management. In addition to its great integration with it integrates very well with other Zoho applications (for Zoho One users) such as Zoho CRM and Zoho Books.
I would like a modernization of the interface, since it is something basic, as well as expand a little customization of the board as for example have the ability to enter the logo of our business as background program, in addition to the lack of history storage so it would be of great help when making the accounting reports that we could have at least a history of the last three months and make balance sheet accounting to cite an example.
The applications are convenient for managing businesses. Therefore, businesspersons should start using it.
We have had this tool since the opening of our restaurant so it mainly helped us to organize, in the first instance with the creation and control of inventory of inputs and food, in addition to the design and implementation of the menu, in addition to the allocation and distribution of tables in the local, has been of great help so we have been growing as a business by the hand of Zoho Creator, we are pleasantly satisfied with its performance and efficiency so we will continue to use this program as it enjoys great reliability.
My favorite tool for creating simple and easy to manage apps is Zoho Creator. I like this tool very much because it provides less complicated tools that enables me to create good-looking and helpful business and personal apps even if I am not a talented programmer. The tool is excellent.
No dislikes because Zoho Creator has been very reliable. Through Zoho Creator, I have learnt many things about app building and I am ready to continue using it.
Zoho Creator is easy to use and I am sure that it will meet all your company's requirements because it will enable your team to create simple to use applications that will smoothen the running of your business. Zoho Creator is affordable to all.
This cloud based tool has been very helpful to me because I have learnt a lot from it. It has simple tools that creating apps using them is very easy. They are self-explanatory. Things or apps created using Zoho Creator are perfect and simple to run.
Zoho Creator allows you to create reports and graphs, add filters and observe all the information of the company. It is ideal for medium-sized databases. It is ideal for programming business workflows. Record the time from the start to the completion of each task. Insert forms on websites. Share forms in blogs and social networks. Schedule the sending of reports or reminders of calls or events. Receive notifications at the moment by email, SMS or as Pop-up on your mobile.
Zoho Creator is a very efficient software, however you need to have better training tools for users who are not developers. The marketing information makes it look like you can create an application without real coding knowledge, but some idea of coding and programming structures is needed to create more robust apps, in my opinion.
With Zoho Creator you can create your databases and put them into production immediately. Zoho takes care of all security, uptime, backups and updates. Overall, I think I would recommend its implementation for common business productivity needs.
We can leverage our existing insight, productivity and other business platforms to create concise and streamlined apps that can be used by our team with the need for advanced coding knowledge. Zoho Creator provides us with a way to create highly custom apps that can be tailors to our needs and refined to make the performance optimal for our projects, business policies and other specifications.
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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.
Overall: 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.
Pros: As the zoho tagline said, Operating system for business. It is truly an amazing platform to run your business with ease. Being able to solve the clients business problems and helping them build an app with zoho platform is really an amazing experience.
Cons: If you are not a programmer then you need to hire a certified developer. That's all it takes and you are on you way to successful business app.
Overall: My overall experience of working on logo to develop application was excellent. I have no plans of switching to another technology/platform.
There are different pricing plans available for various company size and requirements. The basic edition is priced at $5 per user per month which varies further on the number of users and features add-ons.
The typical customers of Zoho Creator are freelancers, large and mid-size enterprises, small businesses and non-profits.
