Customization

In Zoho Creator, custom apps get built with their own Deluge programming language. Essentially, Deluge is a cloud-based FaaS (Function-as-a-Service) that provides the environment for the serverless development of app functionalities. Using this environment, developers can upload code clusters to the cloud to manipulate them and easily scale the app.

Integrations

Zoho Creator allows you to connect apps with almost any app, database, or API. With 550+ integrations to third-party services and APIs get easily integrated owing to pre-built wrappers. With that, your apps fetch data from various sources without writing long lines of code.

Security

The platform stores the data in the cloud and uses a security framework based on OWASP protocols. Zoho Creator has encryption and vulnerability signaling tools to protect your apps from various types of threats. Data encryption, masking, and role-based PII/ePHI controls make Creator’s apps HIPAA and GDPR-compliant. In addition, you can secure your applications with multifactor authentification.

Use Cases

Zoho Creator is widely used to build cross-platform business mobile applications, internal tools, customer portals, data analytics tools, automated workflows, CRM systems’ digital supplies, email management, etc.

Hosting & Deployment

You can deploy Creator’s apps with one click both in a cloud environment or on-premise. After the deployment, the internal apps can be easily distributed over the built-in Zoho MDM while customer apps go straight to Google Play or App Store with any MDM you prefer.

Start your low-code app development with PoC

Before investing in full-scale app development, it makes sense to develop a functional and performant PoC. A proof of concept highlights the project's top priorities and requirements. Plus, PoC helps validate your idea early, eliminates financial risks, and strengthens your marketing strategy.

I always love to work in Mendix which is low-code/no-code enterprise application development software. user interface and ease of using the software. And most likely continuous deployment and development and we can able to see the live design of the application which we were developing.

dislike

The links with other systems can be improved in my opinion. Furthermore, the creation of page layouts is more difficult than it has to be. I hope that with the further development of the web modeler, this will also be picked up.

Create responsive web apps and even native mobile apps in no time with powerful developer tools. Full platform solution, so deploy your app to the cloud with a single click. New releases every month, filled with improvements and new features.

dislike

Sometimes the UI could do with a boost, but the Mobile Native First is offering some great help.

I've been working with Mendix for 11+ years and this allows me to develop apps at the speed of ideas. The platform's flexibility allows me to create any application I can think of.

dislike

The modeler is free to download and use, but your local application will be terminated after 2 - 4 hours. This means that if you are a professional developer, you'll have to rerun your app(s) several times a day. Annoying when you are debugging.
