Hans De Groot - PeerSpot reviewer
Owner/Operator at Informatieewerkplaats
The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.
Sagar Gaikwad - PeerSpot reviewer
Sr Business Application Developer on Zoho Platform. at Tech Worriors
Maximized business efficiency and reduced costs with comprehensive app development
Areas of Zoho Creator that could be improved in the future include further advancements in AI capabilities. They are working on generating AI features, and I believe enhancing the user interface could also be beneficial, as the company's focus seems more on functionality. UI could use some upgrades for better user experiences. I would like them to keep enhancing their user interface, as while functionality is essential, improvement in UI would also benefit developers and end-users alike. The desired improvements would focus on the user interface to support both developers and end-users better, even though there are alternate options available for hosting JavaScript pages, which I believe are unnecessary. HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap are supported, but I feel enhancements in UI/UX could further optimize user interactions.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"All these components are separately tuneable, which makes it a very strong platform, and we believe that this should be considered in the enterprise market."
"Traditionally, such applications require entire teams of developers, but with Zoho Creator, one single developer can handle everything."
"It has a simple user interface, not so difficult to use. You can add AI models, integration, and third-party connections."
"Zoho Creator is one of the best tools; I also have experience converting applications to Android and iOS, which is essential because customers want to install APK files and iOS application files."
"Zoho Creator is a flexible open platform that is good for development in a complex environment that other platforms may not support. It isn't a challenge for me to develop any kind of complex application in Zoho."
"The most important thing is Zoho Creator's functionality. Other cloud platforms cannot provide its functionality."
"Basically, the application development part of the solution is one of the main features I like since it is quick."
"The most valuable feature of Zoho Creator is that we can easily create applications because there is 360-degree flexibility available."
"It is a very, very scalable tool."
 

Cons

"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"In-app support is satisfactory, but my major challenge is usually via email because they take long to reply."
"One significant issue with Zoho Creator is the lack of backup when items are deleted, unlike CRM where backups are available."
"Zoho Creator falls short on data management, so we must connect it to other databases to handle larger datasets. However, it may still be sufficient for smaller databases. Better templates and examples for support teams or programming could be improved. Learning the Zoho Creator language, known as "Deluge," can be challenging for native programmers, so having clear examples and training materials would benefit users."
"The product needs to improve stability and scalability. We faced issues with bugs."
"Could have more pre-built integrations for pulling data from the wider Zoho ecosystem as well as other systems."
"The UI must be improved."
"The layout of the form site needs some improvements because you can only create a basic layout and templates in the forms."
"Sometimes there are execution order issues where lower code runs before upper code, which can create problems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"The plan provided is presented on a monthly basis, giving an idea of the cost each month. However, the actual cost is calculated and charged on a yearly or annual basis. The cost is displayed in a detailed manner, breaking down the amount charged annually, and presenting it in a monthly format."
"I rate the solution an eight out of ten for pricing since it is really cheap."
"Zoho Creator is the cheapest option in the market right now that can deliver this level of quality."
"Zoho Creator's price is reasonable compared to other vendors."
"It is at the bottom end of the price range."
"The tool's pricing is flexible."
"Zoho Creator started at 800 rupees, about $10 per month."
"The Enterprise version costs INR 1500 per month."
