Caspio

High Feature Low-Code SAS

Opmerkingen: After trialing a large number of low-code software, this option was a clear winner due to the customizability of apps and compatibility with wordpress.

Pluspunten:

Fully featured software. Rock-solid infrastructure. There is few things that we have found can't be done with capsio. Any additional features can be custom developed. Unlimited users, unlimited tables. Dataviews can be purchased cheaply. Specialists also provide very helpful 24/7 live chat support.

Minpunten:

Storing 10,000+ of photos inside the apps can become a bit expensive.

Overwogen alternatieven: Zoho Creator en Kissflow Workflow

Redenen om voor Caspio te kiezen: Improve security & functionality.

Redenen om over te stappen op Caspio: Features, security, reliability, industry leadership.

Caspio - create powerful web applications with little to no coding.

Opmerkingen: We collect data from a variety of customers and generate benchmarking analysis. We used Caspio to not only collect the data and manage the data process, but also have created a management backend to control our internal processed to create custom reports. The workflow capability automates a lot of work for us which has improved our productivity (for example, automatically sending status reports for review).

Pluspunten:

If you have a group of Access gurus, you can master Caspio. The applications allows you to take your database applications online very easily, but also provides a high degree of customization (using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML) to build full applications. We replaced manual, inefficient processes with online workflow-enabled applications in very little time.

Minpunten:

There are very few features that I do NOT like. This is just a great application and we have used it to automate our remote processes, collecting data online and the management portals to run our business.

Nearly impossible to cancel subscription

Opmerkingen: For the first few months, when I solely utilized the features.

Pluspunten:

It's very fast to deploy. If all your doing is entering forms and displaying that data without much customization to the styling or format, it works decently.

Minpunten:

The platform is much more limited than they would make you think via the marketing. The majority of features I wanted to implement required workarounds that caused a lot of issues with CSS and javascript conflicting with other parts of websites. After spending close to 100 hundreds trying to get workarounds functioning properly I decided to attempt to cancel the subscription, and then was told that they would not stop the recurring billing due to their terms which is not very obvious when signing up. Overall I would not recommend utilizing this product really at all, not because it's not functional, but because the company policies and management is terrible.

Overwogen alternatieven: Knack en kintone

Redenen om over te stappen op Caspio: Mainly capabilities and pricing. It was cheaper than other alternates and it could be whitelabeled.

Using Caspio for our entire startup database and matching platform

Opmerkingen: We love it.

Pluspunten:

It's easy to use, has all the things already available one expects from a great low code platform (databases, triggers, views, visualizations etc.) and is rather fast.

Minpunten:

The text of the "Submit" button cannot be changed sometimes There's a limit of how many triggers can be activated by another trigger The SEO embed functionality was recently removed.

Easy App Deployment; Very low code; Lots of functions

Opmerkingen: Overall Caspio is an inexpensive way to publish your apps. If you have an idea but don't have enough coding experience, or if your team is small, this is an excellent service. If you are an advance web developer or if you need an app that does some advanced operations, this servive will not fit your needs.

Pluspunten:

Caspio is an excellent app deployment tool. Period. We had the "mid tier" level, so base your expectation accordingly. Caspio hosts your databases, your user authentication, your web deployments, and hosts all your actions. It's very low code involvement, so if you have an idea for an app, you get it up and running in 15 minutes. Their customer support is quite helpful and they will back to you, but again, we did have a mid-tier plan.

Minpunten:

While low code involvement is good for quick deployment, it's limitation is lack of flexibility on your own customization. While Caspio let's you customize some of the "look and feel" of your app, advanced operations/visuals are not easy to do and when you can do them, they are clunky.
