"The product’s MIS feature is very valuable to us."

This exceptional feature provides a remarkable advantage and adds immense value to Zoho Creator."

"I struggle with solutions like Mendix in terms of creating enterprise solutions."
"A constraint of Mendix is that you have to look for the required plugins which takes up development time. There are a limited number of Mendix experts in the market."
"My understanding is that, if you are not using the free version, it is very expensive."
"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."
"It needs to provide an overview of model versioning control for the sake of the review process; better SCRUM board; an overview of model changes from the repository through Sprintr (SCRUM board). Also, a choice between versioning control system would be nice."
"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."
"There's no direct tech support."
"You need experienced programmers and developers to understand this solution."
"The UI must be improved."
"Sometimes technical support does not answer our queries."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"We face issues while moving from one form to another form. We have a negative impression of the tool's support since they do not provide us assistance with our queries. They don't have solid answers to our questions."
"The user interface and the user experience should be improved."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"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."
"When you're developing database-type applications, there is no way to see the actual database tables. They call them forms, and I don't like that. Zoho should also provide better user guides."
