We performed a comparison between QuickBase and Zoho Creator based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Rapid Application Development Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."QuickBase is an excellent product and it is very easy to get support."
"Considering factors like functionality and price, the product proves to be worth the investment."
"It is low-code. We are able to go in and create apps quickly. It is very helpful for the size of our company. We're a mid-size company, and at this moment, we don't need anything externally. We don't have to go out and consult a consulting firm to build something from the ground up. So, the ease of that and being able to get development quickly up and running has been good for us."
"Creating applications in Quickbase will take, literally, a fraction of the time it would take to create them in other database applications (which shall remain unnamed)."
"We have made good use of the ability in QuickBase to add multiple apps for various departments and purposes, while some apps are shared."
"I am impressed with the product's automation which makes everything easy."
"QuickBase reminds me when a software license or a hardware support contract is near expiration so that I can initiate our company's procurement process in time and not miss a deadline."
"The usability of QuickBase largely depends on how you design your workflows within the platform. If you keep them simple and straightforward, it can be a highly usable product."
"It is very easy to build applications on the product."
"Can access information from other Zoho packages and you can write custom scripts."
"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."
"It is a very, very scalable tool."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
"The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"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."
"This rule: The Maximum is 60 rules. We need to provide more in order to improve."
"I would like to see the reporting enhanced because some of them are not easy to generate."
"Whenever we do onboarding, or we get new employees, there tends to be a delay of not just a week but a couple of weeks, and sometimes even a few weeks of being able to see certain new employees in the system."
"Unfortunately, there is still no new report formatting available natively, and would still require 3rd party developers to help with that. ."
"I would like to see better options for producing paper reports from Quick Base, rather than viewing things exclusively on screen."
"The dashboard is not organized."
"They could enhance the ability to link records between tables directly without the need for additional automation to increase space and time."
"Third-party integration -- they are working on it and I find their brand-new still-in-beta Webhooks very promising."
"Zoho Creator could benefit from improvement in regard to the user interface and user experience of the forms. The forms themselves could benefit from being made more interactive, with increased flexibility and customization options for both developers and users. This would allow for a more engaging experience when interacting with the forms and provide more opportunities for customization to meet individual needs and preferences."
"We are looking for a single portal across all Zoho apps."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"They should allow for more UI customization."
"Though the pricing level is low compared to other products in the market, I suggest they allow portal users to pay for the solution based on their requirements."
"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."
"They still don't have a PDF conversion feature."
