Can’t beat at it’s price point for prototyping.

What differentiates Zoho Creator from other similar products?

Zoho creator’s ability to easily create input forms and corresponding database tables in minutes at a very low price point. This allowed us to rapidly develop and iterate with a lean dev team in a low code environment. The deluge functionality for scripting in a low code environment also allowed us to be flexible. I haven’t seen another software that can compete with it yet on those two criteria.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Through forms, reports and pages we have all the flexibility we need to rapidly deploy new aspects of our application and let customers interact with it in days not weeks. The ease of use to get up and running and create a business workflow with these elements is truly amazing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The lack of flexibility for front end development. Due to creators limitation with JavaScript and inability to publish widgets handicaps ux and ui of our app. While not a deal breaker, it does limit how far we can take zoho in the direct to consumer space for our webapp.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Creator is an open canvas and with so many powerful tools at your disposal its my top recommendation for anyone who wants to rapidly prototype a business idea or new features.
