Caspio Reviews & Product Details

I like how Caspio simplifies tracking inputs and outputs for our many plant varieties. The online input feature is fantastic, allowing my team to use it in the field with their phones for real-time data recording. We've developed user-friendly data pages and can easily pull reports, which has saved us time and helped us identify costly data gaps. I appreciate that even without a coding background, I could design a platform tailored to our needs. The relationship view is particularly intriguing for associating what initially seemed like unrelated datasets. I'm also excited about the API and triggering components for weekly automated updates to streamline our project. The initial setup was easy and quick, tailored specifically for our field context, which set Caspio apart from other options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest problem is that it's my first time, and keeping the data pages simple and better laid out is a challenge. It's improving as I draw data more frequently, but changing or improving the data pages is still difficult for me without disrupting the relationships. I also feel that having all the data, data pages, and relationships in one view would be helpful. I kind of work better with a holistic view rather than jumping around trying to find the correct data to connect. Currently, I have a mapping structure open on hand to keep me on track. Some kind of grouping function that acts like a small project builder would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed a data entry form that would also allow easy find/edit access to content in the table, and Caspio offered the only simple way to do this that I could find. Building the form was straightforward and kind of fun, with lots of options to specify what fields should show up. We've been using our form for a couple of years without issues.

I do wish that they either had a more 'low-level' user pricing tier -- we really just need some very basic functions -- or an option to trade access to more sophisticated features for additional records at the same price. I am regularly deleting older records to make space for new ones, which is a bit of a hassle, but it just doesn't make sense to move to higher pricing tier when we will never use the additional features there other than the increased storage.

I really like how easy Caspio makes importing data about our bowling tournaments, including the number of games and pinfall, and calculating averages. It's all just super easy to use for creating a running total and average that can be used for the next tournament. Additionally, the helpfulness of the IT team behind Caspio has been invaluable to us since we are not IT people and needed expert assistance to tailor the product exactly to our needs. Caspio's expert sessions have been particularly helpful in narrowing down and customizing our product, and this support made all the difference in getting our bowler average set up just right.

I wish I had more immediate access to the specialist as I need to set up a time to have their specialist help me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A robust, all-in-one solution for our company’s central database application. It delivers good performance and made onboarding quick and straightforward. Fair price level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Earlier versions lacked customisation of user screens, but they have caught up mostly now. The UX is a bit old fashioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing has changed in my enjoyment of the tool, but I will go into more detail about my three favorite things. First, not all tools in this category have strong database management, and Caspio does. You can build tables from scratch or import them, and you can connect tables via keys and enforce referential integrity. Secondly, you can build asynchronous tasks that can be run on a schedule on demand and this allows a skilled user to build robust systems. Finally, Caspio Bridge and Flex allow the user to build triggered actions that happen when a record is stored, updated, or deleted on a given table, enabling dependent tables to be updated appropriately. I have used this to greatly reduce multi-step data entry work for my clients, giving them more time to work on priority items. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a typo in my first review -- I am NOW using Caspio Flex. I love both products, but the ability to use Caspio to deploy and host with Flex is a huge improvement and efficiency! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Caspio since 2021, and my apps have been super solid, running smoothly from day one without any kind of problems. I really like the freedom it gives me to build my ideas on my own, and overall everything feels intuitive and easy to use.

Support is also a strong point. There are several options depending on what you need: online chat while you’re building your app, a support ticket center for technical questions, and the ability to contact your customer manager for bigger issues. In every case, you end up working with highly skilled professionals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I would like that the plan I am subscribed to had a higher average of records per datapage. But I have been able to make it work nevertheless. I am sad that they will stop supporting mdb aacdb files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful and robust low-code development tool, for experienced and not so experienced users. The onboarding was easy. The Caspio helpdesk helped us a lot: fast, customer friendly and in a way that is directly aplicable in our applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a low-code tool the formating functions for webpages are quite basic. That meant that for our applications we often had to write/edit htms/css. Thanks to the helpdesk this wasn't that big of a hurtle. The UX is not the most modern and takes a little time to get used to, but afterwards it maken fast working possible.

It’s really easy to learn, and you don’t need much technical experience to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use it for a lot of data and sometimes it's hard to present it in a clean way on a web page. It's possible but not always user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like everything about Caspio because it is a solution that facilitates the agile construction of applications that help manage the company's operations. Development takes time, but Caspio makes it light and simple. Caspio's low-code development aids are easy to understand and improve time without sacrificing the robustness of an application. Additionally, the security available for the applications makes it very strong. The information is centralized and controlled, always available and protected thanks to information security management. The application developed in Caspio is the foundation of our processes, interacting in real-time and improving response times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The improvement can be in more applicable 2FA schemes for bridge developments. It is also important to manage images in forms, so that inserting images into the HTML of the datapage is more user-friendly. Currently, an image must be inserted via an external link, and it would be interesting if the platform itself allowed saving the image in the Caspio account and managing it from there to insert it into the datapage.

I use Caspio for building products for my customers, particularly for cloud collaboration solutions. I like that Caspio makes development fast and easy, and I don't have to worry about managing the infrastructure, which helps me avoid a ton of complexity and cost as a startup founder - particularly in the early stages. I like the ability to deliver solutions quickly. Their forum/community and video library are also useful. Even though the community isn't massive, there are active folks, and I often find people working on problems similar to mine, which leads to lessons learned or fast fixes. Getting started with Caspio is easy, so I could get things done quickly, and with experience I've found some better ways to be more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Version control and release management aren't bad, but could be stronger. Ability to get more granular change reporting and comparisons between environments. Improvement in the tools to move code / objects between environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
