Caspio

Caspio

Commentaires : dans l'ensemble c'est un bon logiciel

Avantages :

Est une excellente plate-forme low-code (bases de données, déclencheurs, vues, visualisations, etc.),Il est facile à utiliser, dispose de toutes les fonctionnalités utiles et plutôt rapides.

Inconvénients :

Si vous n'êtes pas familier avec les logiciels de base de données c'est difficile de maitriser rapidement . Au début, j'avais du mal à l'intégrer à mon site Web et à le rendre compatible avec les mobiles.

High Feature Low-Code SAS

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Caspio for the win!!!

Commentaires : My overall experience with Caspio has been very good. I'd highly recommend Caspio to anyone who is looking to create powerful, customizable web and mobile applications.

Avantages :

Excellent feature set.By far and away the best technical support of any company I work with, always responsive and helpful.Great training and reference resources.Extremely customizable, limited mainly by CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.Less expensive than many other no code/low code platforms.They actually even offer a limited free tier, which has been great for me to help non-profits keep costs low for certain smaller projects.They keep adding new functionality.

Inconvénients :

At first the interface took a little getting used to, but now I find that I miss it when working with other platforms. I also didn't understand the datapage concept at first but now that I get it I actually kind of like it.

Defective Billing Process and very little customer support

Commentaires : Except for the one person in billing who finally took ownership of the problem, Caspio is great until something trivial such as their credit card validation protocols go wrong and they will suspend your account rather than be pro-active and reach out to you. I see this as an untenable risk going forward.

Avantages :

Was relatively happy with CASPIO's features and function for a year until CASPIO suspended the account.

Inconvénients :

Loaded a new and valid credit card, which was repeatedly rejected by CASPIO.Rather than someone call me, CASPIO opted to suspend account instead, which caused critical automated pathways to grind to a halt, causing signficant reputational damage and operational chaos.Telephonic support insisted on a 9 digit support ticket number, whereas only 5 digit numbers are provided.Spent close to a week trying to get someone in billing onto the phone. Eventually managed to pass the credit card details to someone in billing (god bless [sensitive content hidden]) but the card details were still rejected. Eventually Caspio's dev team fixed their issue. But zero acknowledgement or apologies from Caspio as to what went wrong and whether it might happen again.

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

Commentaires : 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).

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Easy App Deployment; Very low code; Lots of functions

Commentaires : 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.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.

Caspio not living up to their agreement

Avantages :

They have unlimited users HIPAA compliant

Inconvénients :

We got a contract with Caspio to move our auditing program to their program. We gave them the current system we use and all the bells and whistles we currently have they said they can do it and that it should be completed within a couple months. The program is not complete yet. They are claiming we changed what we wanted when we did not and they currently have the google sheet which has all the coding we want except for the auto emails and texts to personnel. They are trying to charge us more now to do what they already agreed to do and they will not return our money. Do not use them at all please!!!

Great out of the box, with options for advanced applications

Commentaires : We are converting a manual workflow for a team (with variations depending on individuals) into a stream-lined online application, with consistent data, access control and automatic email alerts for all parties involved. This will allow the team to spend more time on other issues.

Avantages :

One can create an on-line survey within a few days. Online support (via chat, email or phone) always tries to find a solution for you, and is also honest in stating when your ideas cannot be achieved. There is also a great user forum.

Inconvénients :

For a more complex workflow and for refinements in display of data, one has to learn/know about SQL and Javascript

Powerful and Flexible Software

Commentaires : Caspio is Powerful and Flexible Software that allows me to manage multiple projects, tasks management, reporting with my team. It's very easy to use and improve your work quality in very less time.

Avantages :

This software has many powerful features for project management and tasks management solutions. We are using Project Management Feature of this tool which allows us to create personalized dashboard for every new projects, task allocation and status tracking and generate reporting, etc.

Inconvénients :

As mentioned above I'm using this software for project management purpose and for that their is no any issues in the software.

Caspio - A great low/no code tool!

Commentaires : Providing one stop web platforms for both internal and external clients, migrating them from multiple Excel spreadsheets and third party file services

Avantages :

It is very intuitive and easy to use and has everything needed to develop robust applications for both internal and external clients, including the ability to customize with JavaScript and HTML

Inconvénients :

There was a learning curve but nothing stands out that I dislike

Great for Building Custom Apps

Avantages :

Caspio is a user-friendly platform that allowed us in Callbox to build custom business applications without coding. It offers a drag-and-drop interface, database management and integration with other systems such as HubSpot and SalesForce. Data is also safe with Caspio's security.

Inconvénients :

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first because some of my non-IT colleagues were not able to keep up with the training due to the advanced features. The pricing can also be a hindrance to startup businesses.

It's an amazing development platform

Commentaires : my experience was excellent, I was able to use it easily

Avantages :

Powerful project management software for teams of all sizes

Inconvénients :

and a little complicated to use, lack more tutorials

Easy-to-use no-code at a tremendous value

Commentaires : The team at Caspio have been extremely helpful, from the initial sales representative to the success manager, to the tech support and trainer. I have found them to be very knowledgeable, responsive, and easy to work with. When I discovered that some of my requirements did require some coding knowledge, I was able to obtain support from Caspio for a nominal fee.

Avantages :

The best aspect was the relatively simple nature of learning to use it and then building an app - as a person that does not code! The process of structuring the database, uploading the initial data, then maintaining it, has been very easy.

Inconvénients :

There are very few cons. I did discover - as a non-coder - that there is some coding necessary when it comes to formatting of reports. It is not absolutely necessary but to truly finetune formats (fonts, colors, placement) one ultimately is aided by knowing to code. Fortunately, this embodied only about 5% of the development.

Great potential, but stay away if you're not an enterprise client

Avantages :

- Basic database builder tools have more built-in options than similar software, so it's easier and faster to build more complex setups - If you don't know code, the interface and logic is very close to MS Excel, so the learning curve isn't too bad - Easy to embed and publish applications - Has an unlimited app user model (though not administrators), which is superior to other database app builders that limit user capabilities and charge based on users. This is ideal for customer-facing applications where users need to be able to more advanced functions outside of simply viewing. - Offer a free plan that is fairly well featured, though would only be useful for internal or personal apps

Inconvénients :

- Pricing structure is highly frustrating for a small business user or team. Basic paid plans have no access to APIs, Zapier, or automation/importing, which is high for the base plan compared to similar apps. To get those features, the next level jumps over 4x higher. - "Datapages" allotted for each plan (which is the foundation of the app) are misleading since similar competitors use an allowed number of "apps". Some basic applications in Caspio need 10-20 data pages, but the basic plan only allows 5. Ultimately a large amount of time was spent figuring out how to cut out pages and combine features, killing user experience. - Had a bad experience with customer support (sales) when I accidentally deleted an entire table. Was informed that as a basic/free trial user they would have to charge me to get the table back, even though it existed. And days saved was only a few, so had to quickly decide. They were not sympathetic to my plight even as I was in the evaluation stage. - If you're a major enterprise with a large budget and some programmers, Caspio may be an ideal solution. If you're a small business, be very careful when evaluating and I'd recommend looking elsewhere. The subscription models and definitions are confusing and you may find yourself with an app built during the free trial and realizing you can't possibly afford to launch it.

Great Low-Code Site

Commentaires : Overall, I have enjoyed working with Caspio. It has pushed me to learn new languages to push my Caspio skills even further.

Avantages :

I love how easy Caspio is to use and learn. There are so many great videos online and the community forums are very helpful. I was able to learn the majority of the features within a couple of weeks. Of course, there's always something new that I didn't realize was possible.

Inconvénients :

The biggest issue I face is working with mismatched data types. I do find a roundabout way to solve the issue but if I can solve it then it's definitely possible.

OK product, appalling support

Commentaires : We're a small non-profit theatre company and needed a simple volunteer management system. Caspio looked like a good fit so we started a trial. We were unable to complete our evaluation in the 14 day free period so we decided to pay monthly at our expense. A few days into this I was getting some advice from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] (our account exec) and she mentioned that we had committed to a one year term. I was surprised by this and said that I thought we were paying monthly. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] pointed out that the minimum term was on the pricing page (which it was in small grey font). Unfortunately I had missed this and made a mistake. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was unable to do anything about this. I felt that signing a minimum term required a bit more prominence and shouldn't been hidden in small print - but [SENSITIVE CONTENT] said Caspio was firm on this. After weeks of waiting we've decided to terminate our subscription and chargeback the subscription. It's a pity as product seems fine, but when a company is unable to help on a small matter like this I feel this is a warning sign.

Avantages :

It was easy to get started with a range of pre-made templates. None of their features are particularly unique but they are mostly implemented well.

Inconvénients :

The user interface is very dated. It looks like it hasn't been updated in 20 years. Customer support was appalling. Very slow to response and not empowered to take decisions. Pricing plans are inflexible and require annual commitment that lock you in for a year at a time regardless of whether you pay monthly. Use of marketing dark patterns to trick you into signing minimum term contracts.

Extremely Useful Resource

Commentaires : We use Caspio to help distribute data, to inform stakeholders, to allow users to narrow results and answer their questions, and to hopefully allow for a stronger understanding of what we do (our business plan) and how we do that (our business model). Ultimately, as a public research university's academic program, we need to provide transparency and accountability.

Avantages :

Ease of use, ability to develop skills within and while using the software. Online tutorials (including YouTube videos/projects) are very helpful.

Inconvénients :

Some of the definitions for associations between fields (e.g., cascading listbox...) can at first leave a new user uncertain about how the form or data-page will function.

Good... but very basic.

Commentaires : Like driving a forklift down the highway. 'This would be fantastic for something completely different.' What it would be fantastic for is a web based alternative to Microsoft Access. What I tried to use it for was creating a commercial subscription web-app.

Avantages :

Caspio is great for applications meant to be used internally in an organization to help manage operations. Its similarity with Microsoft Access makes it familiar and its compliance with security standards make it ideal for managing customers and patients without the hassle of maintaining your own IT. I like the support.

Inconvénients :

It's easy to do basic database stuff like forms and reports, and nearly impossible to do anything else. The lack of design tools is really frustrating. You can use their templates, but you can't make your own. Don't expect to build a site with a custom UX.

Caspio for Mid-Sized Businesses

Commentaires : I really love Caspio, The Customer Service is wonderful, it is an easy application to get up to speed on and provides so much benefit. There are so many ways you can use Caspio to implement projects -- the ideas are endless.

Avantages :

I love that I can use Caspio to create and develop my own applications, forms, and data dashboards with no IT involvement. It helps me get projects completed and out to employees. Most importantly, it helps me get my job done!

Inconvénients :

I wish the data entry backend was a little more flexible and easier to use (i.e., moving columns around, going from field to field, ability duplicate data, etc.)

Like MS Access on fire and on the web.

Commentaires : I have been very happy with everything over all. This has transformed the way we do business.

Avantages :

I really like the ability to create and implement apps with very little code but love that I am able to make many customizations by adding some code.

Inconvénients :

It is hard to say what I have liked liked least but right now my biggest challenge is keeping my deployed datapages to below 100. I keep thinking of new things I can create and impliment.

A user friendly way to streamline business processes

Commentaires : We started using Caspio for project tracking but have since been able to expand our use of the software for to compile many of our processes all within Capsio including registration forms, CRM, reporting, etc. Capsio has allowed us to streamline many of our business processes as our organization increased in scale and capacity, allowing for more efficient workflows and business organization.

Avantages :

It is quick and easy to set up new data pages and tables within Capsio and the online tutorials are great tools for new users. The software is quite user friendly, even for those with little to no code experience.

Inconvénients :

The main difficulty our organization is currently facing is regarding the formatting and Styles within Capsio. For users with little coding knowledge, the visual formatting of pages can be difficult and hard to integrate with current organization branding and websites.

Caspio - The Best Database Platform On the Market

Commentaires : Thanks to Caspio, our project developed into Security Patrol Track Inc., a first class Security Guard Management system for the use by security company managers to track and document the activities of their security officers. Although I had 35 years of financial experience in the security industry, when we first began our project, I had no experience with database systems whatsoever. I tried several platforms but couldn't even understand the terminology and never was able to actually create even one table. I then found Caspio and within an hour, was able to build a table, a submission form to enter records into the table and a report to pull the records out. It is truly a "No Code" platform! Our original app has now grown to 250 datapages and we have over 18,000 users.

Avantages :

It is truly a "No Code" platform! Our application, however, would never have been so successful (due to my lack of knowledge) without the support of the Caspio Customer Service and Professional Development staffs. They are all truly invested in the success of their customers.

Inconvénients :

Although it may seem to be sort of a contrived response, I really cannot think of a criticism of the Caspio system. The typical criticism of a technology company would be their inadequate customer service. However, as discussed above, their support personnel are almost always available, always knowledge and will always go out of their way to find a solution.

Most amazing no/low code APP

Avantages :

We use Caspio to develop web applications for Human Resources departments, we use it for ourselves, and for clients, it is so easy to make improvements and changes that it greatly increases its usability.

Inconvénients :

Integrating via API has been a bit complicated for us, and it has taken a long time to implement the SMS functionality for Europe, but it is already working :)

Great Software for Handle Multiple Projects

Commentaires : It's very helpful for solving your projects management issue. Many great features like activity tracking, tasks scheduling, workflow management, etc..

Avantages :

Very helpful software for managing your multiple projects and you can build your No Code applications easily.

Inconvénients :

Quite difficult to setup your project first time, but it will be works effortlessly after you familiar with the software.

Greed

Commentaires : terrible

Avantages :

Easily to deploy, and this is the only thing you do well.

Inconvénients :

Your operations regions are siloed. If one site goes down your service is unreachable. 8x8 does concurrent datacenter streaming for real-time communications across several data centers that's baked into $15 a month that also includes calling to 14 countries at no extra cost, video and voice conferencing, SMS, and a desktop and mobile app. We're on an older plan called performance. We've asked to add SAML SSO to our plan because it's not offered. We were told it would be $400 a month, in part, because of engineering fees. Do you bake engineering fees in the monthly cost for moving customers to a higher plan? How is it that companies like 8x8 can offer SAML SSO for less than $1 a month, companies like OKTA (who specialize in SAML SSO) can offer integration into 40 services and customized deployments for $2 a month, and Micorosft offers SAML SSO as part of their free tier of Azure AD that also includes storage of up to 50k objects? How is it that your engineering and services fees are some of the most expensive in the industry? Pure greed is the answer.
