Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use our custom apps on the Zoho Creator Platform to manage all our business aspects. Sales, Operations, Trainees Registration, and more.
Pros
  • User Management
  • Rapid Development
  • Complicated User Forms
Cons
  • Some UI Components can look better
  • Translation for multiple languages can be difficult to maintain
  • For creating complex applications, you need to use a workaround that is hard to know without using forums and support.
Likelihood to Recommend
I will recommend Zoho Creator Platform mainly for back-office purposes like Custom CRM/ERP software. The UI/UX is not great for using by clients, in this case sometimes it's better to create an external interface

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
ZOHO Creator is primarily used for digital transformation. We take our historical manual and paper-based processes and digitize them with automated workflow. This allowed us to automatically integrate our processes and provided a real-time Management Information System.
Pros
  • Standardizing of Data Types to improve data quality.
  • Workflow and automated notifications.
  • Reporting / Dashboards.
Cons
  • In C6, the new setup of permissions is not logical. Admins now have access to every application rather than specific applications, which impacts data confidentiality.
  • In C6, the new feature for having multiple environments is very limited as it does not work for ZOHO Creator applications that are linked to other Zoho Creator applications in the same workspace - which is not logical at all.
  • In C6, the revised permissions for Developers do not allow the developer to assign permissions to users or to publish forms, reports, pages, etc....which again is not logical.
Likelihood to Recommend
ZOHO Creator is excellent for creating surveys and analyzing data in real-time - the reporting and dashboard features are very, very useful. ZOHO Creator is good for creating Smart forms - ie, forms where fields are displayed depending on the content of previous forms (ie, is the response to a radio button is "Yes," then display text fields....if not, hide it. This makes it very user-friendly. Also, the automatic format checking of fields (i.e., dates, emails, etc.) ensures data quality is high. The differences between Zoho Creator Users and Zoho Creator Customer Portal users means that you often have to create two versions of each App (i.e. for field permission settings), which can make it difficult to maintain.

Zoho Creator is must have in your Zoho toolbox

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Zoho Creator is a wonderful app and a program we use to manage data heavy components of our business. Creator is a great complement to Zoho CRM, where we manage most of our customers. The ability for Zoho Creator to talk to or syn with the Zoho CRM is what makes this tool so valuable. Part of our business includes entering and storing a lot of data. Once entered we use this data to generate intuitive reports and dashboards to give us insights in to this part of our business.
Pros
  • The ease of creating data collecting forms. Anything from creating a form to import all your old excel documents to creating a mobile on-site application where you can input data directly into the app. For a company like us this can help to eliminate the pen and paper approach to recording data.
  • Reporting features are excellent. Slicing and dicing the data from your forms to create any report is possible. Think of it has filters on steroids. The ability to combine data from different forms is a huge plus.
  • Dashboards! Zoho Creator has so much depth to it that it's easy for one to get lost if they are not as familiar with Creator, for example an exuctive or decision making manager. This is where dashboards come in. Admins can build intuitive and smart dashboards that combine all the relevant KPI's that a manager needs to see.
Cons
  • Zoho Creator has their own scripting language, Deluge, which is the powerful engine behind what makes Zoho Creator so great. Problem is if you have no coding background it can be a bit difficult to learn, and use to it's full potential.
  • The new UI is awesome, except for parts of the homepage. I wish there was a bit more room for custimization and organization of all your stored apps.
  • The ability to create documents or what they once called record summaries from your stored data. This is our most requested feature for them to add, is an integration with a word processor such as Zoho Writer and the ability to create mail merge like documents within the app.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you wish to initiate workflows while using online data application, you will love Zoho Creator. This is where we see the biggest efficiency gain in regards to operations. What use to take multiple steps we can now setup as workflow with (mostly) other Zoho apps so that once something is entered once the data gets moved to other apps where actions are taken. It's awesome. As far as less suited, I would say if you are looking to design feature rich and intuitive dashboards, you could be left wanting more. The dashboards work great for us. The data is really what's important, so I can design a dashboard to present the data we need to see and filter it anyway we want. Considering I am not a developer or expert deluge/html pro, creating custom pages or dashboards to really spice it up is not for me.

Best, easiest, scalable app/module creating platform

I use Zoho Creator Platform to develop web and mobile based apps to automate processes and generate reports, with integration with front end and back end apps, including e-commerce platform, ERP, payment gateway, SMS gateway, logistics platforms... etc.
Pros
  • Digitization & Automation
  • Simple development & app creation
  • no geek-level coding required
Cons
  • enhance integration with JS, to create a dynamic/auto-refresh pages
  • More customization for mobile App display for main menu, forms and reports
  • Live-sync entries across main forms and subforms on user input (before submitting the form)

Easy to develop and design, no need for high level coding skills with Zoho Creator Platform.

My experience with Zoho creator in both personal and professional level is really amazing. The services and products provided by the Zoho are really incredible. I was totally new in the industry, but thankfully i got all sorted with all in one suite that Zoho provided to us in the packages. It can be improved if costing is managed.
