"You can scale the solution."
"It is low code, where the developers can still develop in Java. That to us is very appealing."
"There are free online learning and certifications if a user would like to learn more and better understand the solution."
"The pricing is very clear, with no hidden fees."
"They are leading in the smart manufacturing, and connectivity space."
"The most valuable features of the product are its ease of use and speed. My friend and I find it helpful as a team of just two developers."
"Zoho Creator boasts a multitude of impressive features, but one of the most outstanding is its flexibility in creating interactive reports and pages. With Zoho Creator, users have the ability to utilize HTML and CSS to create visually appealing pages that are rich in information, utilizing data from the system itself. This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible and powerful solution. I like the tool's advanced modification feature which helps to modify its layout and setup scripts."
"I just like the simplicity of it."
"The integration capabilities in Zoho Creator are quite good and support our existing workload. It provides open and proprietary APIs, making interfacing with other applications easier."
"Zoho Creator can be integrated with other platforms easily."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"While using Zoho Creator, we can establish alternative interfaces to connect with Zoho applications. This enables us to run desired automation and workflows without exhausting the API limits."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"There is always a layer of custom code required."
"Needs multiple database connections so an app can directly read/write data to/from multiple databases. This would enable easy splitting of big applications that have complex entity relationships."
"Mendix is slightly less scalable than I'd like."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"The code refactoring tools could be better, especially for applications running for years. It's not bad, but it could be smoother. Also, writing new widgets can be trickier than it should be for some people, but not if you're familiar with Mendix."
"What is lacking is the support of higher level modeling features, like the modeling you do is relatively low level, yet it is still close to programming. We would like to see a more business-oriented modeling environment, like BPMN."
"There should be more integration with engineering applications and tighter integration for user authentication, such as single sign-on, etc. They have some of that. It just could be stronger."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"Zoho Creator falls short on data management, so we must connect it to other databases to handle larger datasets. However, it may still be sufficient for smaller databases. Better templates and examples for support teams or programming could be improved. Learning the Zoho Creator language, known as "Deluge," can be challenging for native programmers, so having clear examples and training materials would benefit users."
"Zoho provides different channels for support, like chat and email. There's also a multi-brand support self-service support portal, but it's time-consuming to deal with it. If we create a portal on Zoho, we need to pay an additional cost per user. It's a flexible platform, but there are limitations, such as the EBI. We need to purchase additional EBIs and other features that some businesses require. If we are developing complex applications, we need to set up many virtual automation and use API calls."
"I would like to see a simpler layout and interface. I would also like to see Zoho CRM and Zoho Campaigns integrated with the product."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"The UI must be improved."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
