These led to automated reports and custom web apps for different departments within the company.
Pros
HIPAA compliance. Easy to create reports, charts, graphs, and full dashboards.
Cons
This is a low-code more than a no-code solution. To get the most out of Caspio some JS is very useful.

We are converting a manual workflow for a team (with variations depending on individuals) into a stream-lined online application, with consistent data, access control and automatic email alerts for all parties involved.
Pros
One can create an on-line survey within a few days. Online support (via chat, email or phone) always tries to find a solution for you, and is also honest in stating when your ideas cannot be achieved. There is also a great user forum.
Cons
For a more complex workflow and for refinements in display of data, one has to learn/know about SQL and Javascript

It has been a real game changer for us.
Pros
We aren't tied to a third party developer so we don't have to pay for or wait for new features.
Cons
There are some features that would make it even better than it is, such as ODBC integration with Excel (Office 365) and Outlook integration.

We are replacing a workflow that was dependent on multiple Excel sheets.
Pros
It seems to me that the sky is the limit with this software, and that it's only limited to my own imagination. The technical support they provide is fantastic! They have a Chat session available and there is always someone there to help me. It's such a good feeling to know that I have help anytime I need it.
Cons
It would be nice if I could click and drag it.

Caspio allowed me to create an exceptionally difficult database in a matter of weeks with little custom coding. Once set up, it is a system that my clients can manage themselves.
Pros
I appreciate how easy it was to set up data access restrictions.
Cons
I do wish there were a couple of better data reporting options with more variations within the reporting options.

We manage millions of records and have started to revert from an in-house data warehouse to Caspio as it provides no code administration, and a secure layer a data protection we don't have to strategize around.
Pros
Drag and Drop table relations gives you deep data mining capabilities, and the datapage wizard allows easier setup of a search interface but allows complex customization in later stages. #1 win for us is the secure surrounding caspio offers our data.
Cons
limited ability to build on an iPad. That would be very useful for on the go adjustments and configurations.

We were able to work with the project management team to build a productivity, waste, and uptime reporting tool that streamlined our process and cut many labor hours out of each week.
At first I was really impressed with price per data page but as I learn in different video tutorials, a real robust application will take you to the mid/highest price tier.
Pros
Love the video tutorials and there are so many great and powerful features in the design side
Cons
Not sure about integrating with other systems yet (accounting) and using on mobile devices

We have multiple annual reports due for the first time, and between views and data pages, I have already produced 1/4 of them.
Pros
Excellent software and support. I was brought in to take over an extensively-developed system, to add features and update functionality, and was new to Caspio. The training videos and online help are excellent, and in just a few days I have been able to be productive. If I got stuck, I used the online chat, and they gave me links to read materials in detail, if necessary also looked at my work and fixed it, which we reviewed together so I understood how to repeat the process.
Cons
I think if you had a multi-level filter (Like Datapages, Reports, Pivot Tables, totals), this might help narrow down the info.

Caspio Rocks !
Pros
It includes almost all features of a good database management system with sufficient security options.
Cons
We would request Caspio to be made more economical for developing and under-developed countries so that small and medium-sized enterprises can afford it as well.

I was able to take 22 tables from a legacy, standalone application, export them from MSSQL into Excel and import them to Caspio.
Pros
The low-code approach frees you from having to learn any programming language and rely upon it. It is flexible enough to allow you to build literally any kind of application you want from simple to complex, which is powerful and liberating. No more dealing with filthy vendors!!! Their support, even on the free tier, is outstanding. There is also a TON of information and instructionals available on the web. They seem to want you to be successful, and go the extra mile to help you be successful.
Cons
It looks like this is possible with the API, however that's only available in the most expensive tier.

Caspio has provided us the ability to implement web applications quickly, without being held hostage by programmers who care more about job security then addressing client solutions.
Pros
Caspio is very impressive with its ability to allow businesses to create and implement web applications quickly. In today's competitive world, clients do not have any patience and really appreciate a branded solution delivered within days, not weeks, months or years!
Cons
There is still a need to understand Javascript (coding) and the ability to use the Caspio platform with third-party APIs.

I have been an extremely satisfied Caspio customer for over 12+ years. I have built hundreds of apps using their cloud database platform and they have allowed my company to quickly and effortlessly deploy applications in a timely fashion. In my opinion, there is no better cloud database product in the marketplace. Caspio is simply the best!
Pros
- Ease of Deployment - Low Code Environment - No Hardware to Maintain - Zapier Integration - The product continues to evolve.
Cons
- Looking forward to more advanced Zapier integrations such as the ability to search for a record in the database. - Scheduled reports via email would be a welcome enhancement

Specifically, I created publicly available online submission forms and internal use applications including: portals for the paperless reviewing and scoring of submitted applications (for both videos and text/ file upload submissions), online participant registration forms, post program report collection tools and alumni tracking apps.
Pros
This framework of a few 'tools' with many guided steps and options in each tool make it less intimidating for a novice to create an application independently that suits their specific program needs.
Cons
Although Caspio is constantly improving their product and educational material demonstrating how to use it, there are always more features that can be added to allow users to control the look and feel of an application or to allow for example more filtering options across tables.

Recommendations to others considering Caspio
Has a preview function so you can see the database you are creating in real time without having to complete something to realize you left out a piece of key data.
There is no doubt that Caspio allows you to create robust cloud applications very fast. As we have now entered the age of low-code and that the opportunity to have SaaS systems, that used to be reserved to large enterprise and government bodies, is now reachable to man small to medium size enterprises. In this respect, Caspio has played out an important and critical role by offering a reasonably priced and powerful platform to them.
Pros
Caspio is a very flexible tool for creating and maintaining SaaS systems for your company or for your customers.
Cons
Caspio, over the last few years, has come up with means of addressing this shortcoming by adding extra functionalities in database management.
