Zoho Creator is a very useful web platform for a low code development of business use cases with ability to integrate with other Zoho products like Zoho CRM, Zoho Books, Zoho Analytics etc. This helps in amazing customisations to fit into every business requirement with lots of flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since it is a low code platform, the UI look and feel seems a bit basic and at times is not user friendly with navigations on the browser. This aspect possibility requires improvements to further enhance user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Zoho Creator because it's easy to create adaptive solutions to our specific needs. Even though I'm not an IT person, I can create fields and reports on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Facilitating connections between fields and reports without programming is challenging. It takes a lot of internal effort to understand our needs and plan solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zoho Creator feels like having a full development team in your pocket. What impressed me most is how quickly I could turn rough business ideas into fully functional apps without touching heavy code. The drag-and-drop interface is simple, but the platform doesn’t compromise on depth — I could add workflows, integrate with Zoho CRM, and even connect external APIs in just a few clicks. It’s rare to find a no-code tool that balances simplicity for beginners with power for advanced users, but Zoho Creator manages to do both. For me, it’s not just an app builder, it’s a productivity multiplier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
sometimes feels a step behind the desktop version — especially when managing complex workflows or larger datasets. I also feel that onboarding new team members could be smoother; the learning curve for non-technical users is small, but not zero. That said, Zoho’s documentation and support community are improving steadily, so these are more “areas for growth” than real deal-breakers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The speed at which i can prototype and deploy complex applications is amazing also the ease of connecting with the entire zoho ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
At times, customizing the UI for every fine control or pixel-perfect design can feel restrictive or require workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to customize deepdown in the roots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One can customize any form and create a personalized dashboard. It also has apps and a secure login method through an authenticator app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is clunky and takes some getting used to, and the dashboards need major customization to be effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Zoho Creator helps streamline our invoice approval process at my organization, since each invoice requires 3 levels of approval before submission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The level of customization and support is very limited, according to my recent experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Over the years I've come to use Zoho Creator quite extensively and it's been a massive hit for me. Zoho Creator puts time, ease of use, and just the ability to focus on your creative input, right in your hands.
Recently, I got abit bored, so i picked up laravel to develop an app I had already built with Zoho Creator. I wanted to see how long it would take me to get it up to the level I had done on Zoho.
It took nearly 3 months to get that app up to production level. That's something I had setup and ready in Zoho Creator in less than two weeks! And thats only because I lazied about while working on it. It should have taken no longer than a week.
The cool thing about Zoho Creator is, you don't need to be a tech guru. The drag and drop UI kits is adequate enough for a lot of tasks. And if you got even the slightest development knowledge, then the Deluge engine is so easy to use, you'll feel as if you've used it before. This in particular helps me to get around certain problems i can't solve using the drag and drop or built in functions. I've developed alot of apps with Zoho Creator. From Terminal Operations App, to Asset Management, Warehouse Management, Restaurant App, Access Control, EDI for Shipping, etc.
I've also integrated Zoho with other Workflow apps like Kissflow, to access external data via API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Well I think they'd need to take the UI experience up a notch or two. While full control of UI features in apps like Zoho Creator is typically limited, I think they can raise the bar, and allow developers create truly bespoke looking apps doesn't just function to design, but looks and feels like a premium app, especially on moble.
