Zoho Creator Avis et détails du produit

Zoho App Creator allowed our startup to get started very quickly and it is what we continue to use in most of our crucial daily operations. It's a very clean and simple UI and it runs surprisingly well on mobile devices.

It's a little clunky. We have great hardware and internet connection and even then.

We use Zoho for operations, order and account management, and as a database. As previously stated, how quickly we were able to get started with it was the best thing about it.

- Ease of use; competent users can get productive fairly quickly - Departments can create useful apps without involving IT

Can be dangerous to let some users loose on this kind of thing. If they don't know what they are doing, IT ends up having to pick up the pieces - or worse, the business can end up using an app that isn't fit for purpose.

Allows business department to create simple apps quickly that can provide value. Devops use this to prototype apps that might be delivered using other tools and technologies.

Easy to use UI, allows for building robust applications

Lacking integrations with external third party apps

Building and provisioning web apps with database like functions

I like the ability to share information across teammates easily for the purpose of getting social media advertisements live. This information includes, pricing, platform, targeting, urls, click and view tags, creative, and links to whatever else is needed. There's options to check pacing for our campaigns. It's great to be able to do this for multiple clients from one interface. If I was do this in Facebook or Twitter, I'd have to go to each account

There's room for improvement in the interface and there should be more flexibility when choosing viewing options. When I see the spreadsheet interface - I'd like the Search/Filters always accessible. From there, I'd like to be able to click on a row and have all the columns show up in a lightbox for easier viewing. Right now, I can access two interfaces for the same content - one with the easy access search bar and one with the better viewing of each row's content. I'd like both in one view.

My team primarily uses it to pass along information. I.e. one team inputs the information they've received from the client and another uses it to create social media posts. Both teams can edit what's in the spreadsheet and add links to attachments such as an Excel doc or screenshot of a social media ad. Automated update emails can also be sent when specified edits are made. For example, once a team member has filled out all the required information, an email will get sent to the next person in the process.

The thing I like most is the ability to interface with my Zoho CRM and the ability to create an app the is exactly a match for my business, instead of using pre made apps where they either lack the function that I need or one needs to create work arounds.

What I don't like is how easy Zoho makes it sound for us non coders to create apps. I find basic forms and reports very easy to create, but once I started to try to do more complex things with my data, I felt Deluge script is just like any other language I don't know. I am sure people who develop database apps on a regular basis and know other programming languages probably see Deluge as an easy way to create what they want, but for me the small business owner who just needs an app that works, Deluge script can be a bit overwhelming.

We have developed a course management app for our on-site English language classes given at our customers locations. We are able to track all teacher and student activity including setting up schedules, student lists, attendance reporting, cancellations and reschedules, and payroll for our instructors.

Zoho Creator is an online database builder that's very easy to use and create custom applications for all your data collection needs.

I wish that it was more customizable. There are limtied features in that respect.

Adding data and putting it to work automatically. reports, spreadsheet-like views that let you show your data on a table, in a graph, on a map are great.

- drag and drop internet makes it really easy to create forms - scripts offer a high degree of customization - support is very helpful and will keep looking until the problem is resolved - pricing lets you build a basic product either for free or at a very low cost

- performance could be better: if a function or form is caches on Zoho's servers, performance is great. but if it isn't, fairly simple tasks can take a long time. - Zoho creator doesn't support all functions that you expect from a programming platform. for instance, while it offers GET and POST requests, if doesn't support DELETE. If you need it, you're out of luck.

Zoho creator is proving very helpful for reporting and tracking applications. we even used it for a proof of concept order and billing applications that uses external services for payment handling. The latter however is pushing the boundaries of what Creator is capable of.

I like that I can export reports for any of our students/business partners with a filter search that is very customizable.

I dislike the table design within the platform, AND that you can't just add google links within.

It allows us to house our contacts and connect them with our business entities. We can keep a customized historical record and our entire team can access the data, while still being able to give special permissions.

Affordable, easy to develop and maintain, provides exactly what you need.

Not supporting Java, limited customization for forms layout/template

Building my own customized software that helps me operate my business digitally and maintain sold analytics, measure KPIs and improve the operations in a great way

This is a low code application which means you can create your workflow/process and automate them. Also, you can connect with so many applications to automate your manual work. It has drag and drops option to create a form but you should know Deluge to create a function and actually get benefit from this.

1. There is some restriction as this is a low code app. 2. You need to know Deluge to be able to use this. 3. Sometimes it takes forever to load/save any forms. 4. They do not have an application to install on Windows/Mac.

1. We use Zoho to gather all the information. Automate personalized emails depending on the information we gather. Send those emails. 2. In supply chain management, we use to keep track of inventory, and sales orders, order new products when running low, and create shipments.
