We used the Zoho creator for the beginning of our business. It is really a great platform and also a pack of all services that are much needed for the start-up on this age. It is also very cheap and fast to on board with the setup process with amazing assistance of the team.
Pros
  • CRM
  • Invoicing
  • Inventory
  • Marketing
Cons
  • User Interface can be improved
  • User management and support must be released
  • Multimedia device management can be introduced to import multiple media.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are a logistics service provider and are in the industry for 40 years.Being a traditional business house its really difficult to implement Modern Softwares as existing team will not accept modern technologies.Because of this generation gap we are had lot of issues in implemeting zoho on initial stages.

As far as considering problems with the business, just like any business house we did have lot of issues especially with meeting our customer demand on real time basis and providing them with timely data.Also we had too many un used manpower and we sorted it out using zoho creator.

We were able to identify our weaker side and patch it with multiple methods which slowly increased our profit
Pros
  • Accountability for each employee work which is very vital for any organization
  • Making operations very simple even that a simple lay man would be able to perform detailed work like a pro
  • Data tracking in live was made possible
  • Using proper Manpower for the work they are apt.
Cons
  • Visual Customization is something more important as modern day users need fresh layouts
  • Apps need more changes wrt to layouts
  • Costing to be re worked for MSME sectors as we cannot afford like a Corporates
Likelihood to Recommend
A specific incident is where we were proud using zoho , was when we challenged a MNC who has more than 10k employees, for providing a same service matching them technically, where we are a small organisation in size comparing them having around 70 employees.

The less appropriate is where , implementing accounting system properly integrating with the existing operatoins.Need lot of improvement on this

Also more easy integration with Zoho Books

Best, easiest, scalable app/module creating platform

  • 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)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We needed to solve an internal problem by creating a new online software. One of the main requirement was to find something that we could create and give maintenance by ourselves, with no-code or low-code skills. Then with Zoho Creator we had the possibility to hire a company to develop the basis of our new software and then we could evaluate inside with our team.
Pros
  • Low-code skills needed to create complex process.
  • Easy to learn.
  • Best for simple form design software (that don't need 'beautiful' design).
Cons
  • A bit tricky for integrations with 3rd party software.
  • Layout customizations very limited.
  • A bit expensive when you need to give access to many users.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you need to create a very simple CRM (or CRM-like) system, with tailor-made functions for your business, it is well suited. You can customize and create modules specific for your company needs. Another good use is when you need a separate software to handle a specific need, beside other software you already use.

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.
