### "I love it!"

March 14, 2017

5.0

I started using Zoho's emails first and then gradually other features. Great company, cheap and effective. Their interface is better than Google Apps for sure - Put the two side by side and compare, you will see.

Pros

Great value for money.

Cons

Their live ticket generation system takes way too long.

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

December 5, 2017

3.0

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

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

### "Simply the best in the market. You can build 90% of all internal apps using Zoho Creator"

July 18, 2017

5.0

We were able to scale quickly because of Zoho Creator.

Pros

1\. Simple drag and drop feature. 2. Less code. If you are a first timer, You can build an app just by exploring the platform for 15 mins 3. Takes less than 10 mins to build an app. 4. Complex apps too can be built on this platform. 5. Very user-friendly

Cons

1\. I do not see much fault with this. 2. When requirements get tricky, you need a person who is good at logical thinking and problem solving to handle those requirements.

March 26, 2019

Except for the poor and overloaded customer support, great to use.

Pros

Superb product. Helps you save time and manpower. Great integrations and API linkage.

### "Very handy software (if you are already using Zoho One)"

May 31, 2022

5.0

Pros

They make it extremely easy to build custom applications that can support your business operations. Everything is drag and drop, and integrates with various automations platforms (Zapier, Zoho Flow, Integromat)

Cons

The support documentation isn't always very clear, and there are some core functionalities that are missing that should be easy to add (i.e. providing a direct URL link to a record).

### "Great App Builder for Everyone"

January 13, 2019

4.0

My experience with Zoho has been great. It has helped me build a lot of customised applications. It is one of the best CRM custom creators I have come across.

Pros

I've been using this app for a couple of years. Zoho is very easy to pick up and build simple applications or customise pre-made templates as per your needs. Nevertheless, it is a mighty application builder, and if one knows how to use it correctly, one can build complex applications on it.

Cons

1\. Documentation on how to use it and an appendix of features will be good for newcomers. 2. The UI of Zoho can be complicated and overwhelming sometimes. 3. The results from a simple search are not editable. The inclusion of different "view modes" and "edit" features would be great.

### "Far outweighs its competitors"

February 2, 2019

4.0

Pros

I am amazed at what our IT guys have created using Zoho Creator, the fact that we had been struggling using a different program for so long is mind boggling when we could have had what we do now! I’m looking forward to expanding to other products and incorporating more tasks in the near future. It intergares with Xero to make invoicing a lot easier and saves hours of work!

Cons

See I can’t really fault it and anything that I’ve asked for has been implemented for me without much hassle at all. I can do my job faster so I cannot complain.

### "A basic way to make an app quickly."

February 2, 2019

4.0

ZohoCreator is definitely for someone who needs an app made and has no knowledge on how to do it the traditional way. But, personally, I prefer using a more traditional method.

Pros

ZohoCreator allows people to create apps without the knowledge that would otherwise take months to years to learn. It’s very flexible and easy to use!

Cons

The graphical interface has room for improvement. While it is certainly easier to make apps, It still requires the ability to use their scripting language, Deluge, for more customization.

### "Just scratched the surface"

August 15, 2017

5.0

The sky is the limit here. Get creative. Learn how to use the programs. And then start creating unique systems and solutions that reflect the unique problems your organization faces.

Pros

We are excited to see what we can create with Zoho Creator. It has so many options and possibilities! Short term we use it to collect forms and track information from different departments in our company. If a product gets damaged in the warehouse, they can fill out our Zoho Creator Form and it gets notification to the proper channels. Longterm I'd like to build our ordering system on Zoho Creator, to have a fully customized software system unique to our business and our needs.

Cons

Because of its complexity, there's a learning curve in using it. You've got to dedicate a lot of time to learning the program to best use it.

### "Decent ability to build custom apps, but clunky"

April 10, 2022

4.0

Pros

Technically, anything (or near-anything) is possible to build as a custom app. Relatively low-code required

Cons

Apps that get built are very clunky with crude UI. And the integration with Zoho CRM is underwhelming so you're likely better off finding a solution elsewhere.

Reason for choosing Zoho Creator

We thought the integration with other Zoho products would be amazing, but it ended up being just as easy (difficult) integrating non-Zoho, third party solutions.

Zoho is great for a free online database. I was been using then for years The helpdesk in available to talk to you on the weekend. Even is you have a free account and something is not working the most likely will help you. Just don't ask design question as a free users. Its easy to switch back and forth between paid and free account

Pros

New features\[Pros\] Image or photo integration in to a database 3 users on three on a free account.

Cons

Not easy to export to other database programs.

### "a powerful DIY builder"

December 17, 2018

4.0

Pros

\* a simple application to create our own small apps. \* its like a whiteboard with tools where you can build your own app without having a bunch of developers or techies. \* low cost so it is ideal for small business/startups

Cons

\* it is a bit complicated app while you start configuring your app. You can be a master on it by following knowledge base and tutorials.

October 29, 2018

5.0

Pros

Great alternative to Microsoft office software. Easy to use and sign up for. Great that you can access your files with just signing in! Love that feature

Cons

Only thing that bugged me was I had to figure out how to copy and paste, had to sign in and download another thing but easy once I figured it out.

### "Zoho is a useful software to create commercial applications and has a reasonable price"

May 14, 2018

4.0

Pros

Easy to create your own database without any knowledge or experience in making a database before. The fact that the results columns from a basic search are not editable. Also, the "view" results when you click on a record has limited fields. Must view the whole record using the "edit" feature instead.

Cons

Take a little time to get used to the interface, but then it's very easy to work. The fact that the results columns of a basic search are not editable makes the software somewhat complicated. In addition, the results of "seeing" when clicking on a record have limited fields. It should allow to see the complete record with the "edit" function.

### "Just what we needed!!"

March 27, 2020

5.0

A cost-effective way of designing your own CRM, great for non-profits who need to store specific information relating to their service users.

Pros

We had been looking for a CRM to meet out needs for a long time, trial and many errors left us frustrated and with limited funds, we didn't have the money to have one designed for us. We then met Zoho Creator...WOW! we were able to make our own customised CRM that is exactly how we want it, using forms and subforums. Affordable subscription, ability to make any changes to the layout and always the option to upgrade or add moe users.

Cons

It took us a while to get to grips with the layouts and moving around fields but once we checked the tutorials we were well away.

Switched from

[Zoho CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/155928/Zoho-CRM/)

We were introduced to Zoho creator through Zoho CRM as that was unable to meet our needs.

### "Excellent Database Designer"

July 21, 2017

5.0

Pros

In our work, we constantly maintain databases. First we used Excel for this purpose, but then realized that Zoho Creator is much better. Its main advantages are the possibility of teamwork and storage of our data in the cloud.

Cons

The administration was not able to offer customers a simple and understandable payment system. In order to understand the number of team users / projects you need to pay for, you need to contact technical support for assistance.
