I think Zoho Creator Platform is a very different development platform compared to others. Most developers might not want to learn or develop here due to: 1. Non scalability 2. High costs 3. Limited UX design Reason others might want to develop on Creator: 1. Faster time to market 2. Easy Drag-Drop interface 3. Works for a variety of use cases

We have used the tools provided by Creator to develop an ERP that manages our entire business process end to end. Though it lacks in features, Creator has helped us shift from a small to mid size company.

Likelihood to Recommend

Zoho Creator Platform is better suited to small companies / personal use. As a medium size company, Creator has been a challenge to use, especially in my experience due to the extremely incompetent support team. Offline functionality is advertised but should not be as it requires that your application has no logic which completely nullifies the whole . Application logic will work at times and fail at others. Support team will insist that it had always been working when it is clearly evident that they are scrambling to fix the issue at the backend.
