    Pros
    Excellent Cloud access to innovative technologies and great integration with third-party solutions and also for support multiple languages.
    If you are using other elements of the Zoho suite there are good integrations and Creator would be great for adding functionality for the likes of first-line workers in the organisation.
    For the people who are planning to develop software is really useful it helps you get everything organized and reminder about the deadlines which ensured productivity and help you to get more revenue.
    Cons
    For most users that have no coding background it this can provide limits as DELGUGE can be difficult to learn.
    Form loading goes from seconds to minutes. These are serious problems that made me wish I had stuck to using Zoho strictly as a prototype.
    The limited features working offline or in patchy network areas was a huge problem.

    Cost-effective App Builder

    Reviewed 5 years ago

    Fantastic experience with Zoho Creator. Easy to use and cost-effective.

    Pros

    Zoho Creator is an effective tool for building applications for your business. We like using it because we do not have to be experienced in programming and other sophisticated tools to start using it for building apps. The apps we always build with Zoho Creator are great and they boost our daily operations.

    Cons

    Unreliable customer care support team. No other valid reason to complain about Zoho Creator because it has been good to our team.

    Ideal for developing very specific applications

    Reviewed a year ago
    Pros

    I really like that by collecting data with Zoho Creator forms it is much easier to organize and analyze the information to suit your work process. Create simple apps without the need for a developer, or build complex apps to meet your specific business process needs.

    Cons

    Zoho Creator needs to have better training tools for non-developers and its interface could be more intuitive to improve user experience.

    Great for Prototyping Application, Too Slow for Business Use

    Reviewed 8 years ago

    I started using Zoho as a quick way to prototype an application. It took a few weeks to build an application that would have taken months in .Net and SQL. My customer loved the application and wanted to use the prototype right off the bat. The service generally runs fast, however in the afternoons here in the US, the service can grind to a halt. Form loading goes from seconds to minutes. These are serious problems that made me wish I had stuck to using Zoho strictly as a prototype.

    Pros

    Great interface, email and text integration.

    Cons

    1) Speed is too slow for "real" business use. 2) On premise application is forever stuck in Beta, there is no choice but to use Zoho's slow servers. 3) URL and mobile app customization is not possible.

    Vendor response

    Thank you for giving Zoho Creator a try. We believe the issue faced by you could be specific to your Zoho Creator application as we haven't had reports of latency from other users. The sluggishness experienced by you in accessing Creator Form especially during a certain time of the day is something that we would like to look into further. Could you email form details of your Zoho Creator app to presales@zohocreator.com/support@zohocreator.com, please? The team over here would like to ascertain the reasons for the latency issue and revert with possible solutions, if any. Ahmed Zoho Creator

    Creating apps made easy

    Reviewed 4 years ago

    Zoho creator is amazing for those who don't know how to code great apps.

    Pros

    With the Zoho creator, one can easily make the Ios and android apps by just dragging and dropping the required fields. One can create the apps to be of personal use and deploy them quickly. The programming language supported for making the apps in zoho creator, I.e., Deluge, is easy to learn and get started.

    Cons

    The number of apps to create in the free version is very less. Zoho creator is easy to use but lacks in terms of speed. Hence, apps created lacks in speed.

    Wonderful Software to Create an Application

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    Undoubtedly, Zoho Creator is a very useful tool to make an excellent application. I like to use it as it has the entire necessary feature in it which is essential for creating an application. It works seamlessly well. Only thing is that I would love to see enhancement in the interface of this software.

    Pros

    Zoho Creator is a very interesting tool. I can create a perfect application as per my requirement using this software. It is a very helpful tool. There is a drag and drop interface which helps a lot while creating an application; I use it a lot.

    Cons

    Zoho Creator is an extremely wonderful software to use. However, I don’t like its interface. It is very basic according to me. There should be more improvement in it. Except for this problem I don’t have any other problem with Zoho Creator.
