First of all, it adopts Agile methodology by creating a SCRUM-based app where you can handle your user stories. Next comes version control, which really allows multiple team members to collaborate quite easily. And last but not least, Mendix modeler, which is your IDE for developing Mendix apps."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."

"We can create multiple applications simultaneously with it."
"While the documentation is good, the development box could be better."
"I would also like to see automatic adjustment to the Java Heap, whenever an application load becomes too much for the application. It could also use hot database replication."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"There's no direct tech support."
"It could use a more comprehensive widget creation studio in the IDE."
"Mendix is great for internal applications but not so great for a public-facing interface. It lacks a proper directory structure for public use. The URL will not change from page to page unless a deep link is created for each page. That makes it difficult to bookmark pages in the browser to view later on."
"There are not enough developers who are using Mendix. The knowledge base available online and in the market is not as rich as other competitors."
"We'd like to be able to write in C Sharp to develop code for Mendix."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. So some room for improvement as well for scalability."
"The platform's technical support services need improvement."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."

"They should allow for more UI customization."
"Zoho Creator's UX design needs to 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."
