Caspio Reviews

I have a pretty broad background in software development (40 years). What I didn't have was the current skills to work and develop in a web-based environment, so I knew I couldn't develop on my own. Caspio was the perfect marriage for me. Using their framework, technology, and solution approach of No-code/Low-code, I was able to meet my goals and objectives and hit the ground running! I took my knowledge of data, databases, and SQL, and easily constructed my application foundation. In some applications this would have been time consuming. In Caspio, I was able to import my tables from my prototype, configure a few fields and was off and running. By day three I was building interfaces. They came together quickly because my foundation (my data structure) was in place.

I don't know what the average sized application is within Caspio, but I do know that my application is considered large and complex. As of today, I have 95 tables and 114 data pages.

Within a couple of weeks I could zip around the various aspects of the product, identifing what needed to be modified. If I got stuck, Caspio has one of the best communities I have ever worked with on any product I have ever used. It's called the Forum. You can search and usually find what you're looking for. If not, then post a question and within hours and up to maybe a day, someone will respond. Even now I go to the Forum. But better than that, they have a Customer Service team that actually answers right away! And usually provides an answer within the hour. You don't get this level of service with other application provider.

1. You cannot iteratively save your work. When you save your datapage it immediately goes live whether you are ready for it or not. If you have a change that spans multiple pages, you may break your application.

2. There isn't a clean way to color code numbers or values. I have found ways to do it (sometimes within the confines of the datapage: virtual field), but when virtual fields are not available, then coding must be used, and depending on the type of datapage, different coding is required. Most of my custom code supports coding for negative numbers).

My business is MyDietMadeReal.com. It is a new approach to supporting the nutrient and nutritional requirements for individuals with Dietary conditions like Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Hypertension, to name a few. I needed a solution that could primarily do two things: 1) Handle large amounts of data (our Foods table has over a million records in it) and 2) Render the data dynamically based on a user's profile, conditions, and diet quickly in real time. All without the Member knowing the complexity of what is happening behind the scene.

Caspio does this.

And they do this extreemly well.

I have been using Caspio since 2021. My apps are super solid and have been runnig since day one without any kind of problems. I like the freedom that I got from being able to build my ideas on my own. Everything is intuitive and easy to use. You have several types of customer support: an Online chat while you are building your app, a support ticket center for technical queries, and you can even contact your customer manager for bigger issues. In each case you will be dealing with highly skilled professionals.

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 files.

I commercialize an ERP software of my own. Despite having a growing client list, I still have a limited budget that does not allow me to hire coders when these clients request for extra software tools to process info from my ERP . So with Caspio I can build apps myself whenever those requests arrive.

You are able to hit the ground running with this product. There are incredible videos, tutorials, and other online resources that cover nearly everything you could possible need. And when you can't find the video/tutorial to answer your question... Caspio's incredible Customer Service team is there for you. You're assigned a customer representative the minute you joion and they truly are their to ensure your success. Samanta was our Customer Rep and she was absolutley best in class.

It is not as simple as "uploading your excel spreadsheet". But once you go through the tutorials and lean on your customer representavite... they will get you set up.

Caspio has helped us turn a very detailed Excel spreadsheet and calculations into an easy to use and read web form.

Thanks to the clear tutorials and the platform's intuitiveness, we were able to develop and launch our project in record time. We crafted a comprehensive development for end-users, administrators, and decision-makers, each logging into their unique environment with specific information based on their access credentials, all interconnected.

One challenge we encountered was guiding our users through the setup of their mobile devices to seamlessly access the development we implemented. Specifically, it was necessary to adjust certain settings in browsers like CHROME or SAFARI to ensure hassle-free sign-in.

Having a proven system that streamlined the initiation, development, and customization of our project to meet specific requirements has led to significant savings in both time and development costs. This has spared us extended programming periods, enabling a swifter and more efficient rollout. Moreover, it has ensured secure operations for both users and the organization, thanks to its robust security measures that ward off unauthorized access or data breaches.

This product is easy to use. I was able to create a searchable database very quickly and efficiently with Caspio. I was also able to customize the search page and make it accessible on my website. It has made my job so much easier. It is one of the best products that I use currently. I am glad that I found them!

I am currently using the free version and wish there were more options available; however, when I upgrade to pro, those options will become available to me. I honestly really love everything about Caspio

Caspio is making our services and product creation more streamlined for our backend users. We are using this internally right now, and it has made searching for what we need so much easier and more efficient. It has saved us significant amounts of time and effort.

For an experienced database developer like myself, the platform has allowed the development of a robust data backend for my website. But for an inexperienced developer, the tutorials provide all the needed information to move from concept to completion.

I wish the payment integration were available at a lower cost threshold.

Access to a data platform for my educational website

Caspio provides a great environment that combines a user friendly relational database system, with web forms you can easily set up with pre-made templates, and gives you the ability to automate tasks by building scripts (tasks) and triggered actions with their low-code interface. I have very limited experience in coding and I was able to build a solution to my first problem in a few hours. Then, given the success of my first application, now we have built other applications that have simplified my team's day-by-day operations and even other teams have asked us to build solutions for them.

I was able to build my own custom-made solution at a very small fraction the cost (yearly) that an external vendor quoted to my company for a similar custom-made solution.

While Caspio's built-in templates are great and we're normally ok to go with them, sometimes we'd like to customize views a bit and the interface for customizing/localizing information can get a bit overwhelming. Still, the solution is highly customizable.

Caspio allowed us to automate a few business processes by giving our client direct access to the information they need through a web form. Caspio's database, tasks and triggered actions allow us to have our data organized and updated. Our application have significantly reduced the workload in my team (and 2 others) and converted on of our most time-consuming tasks into something we don't even think about regularly.

The easy support for my needs, I like how I can connect with databases and how I can easy develop applications

There is no much I don't dislike for, but I wish if te price lower.

Solve the problems of creating forms and how we can connect it to tables in very easy way

I like how easy it is to use, the agile and resolutive they are when we have a doubt or incidence.

Sometimes the interlocution in English for such technical themes becomes a bit difficult, but they have already added to new Spanish -speaking employees. But for the rest of things they are perfect.

We focus on HR departments, so we solve almost any problem, digitize workflows of permits requests, vacations, day records, climate surveys, performance evaluations...

I like the power that Caspio puts in the hands of even non-programmers. Its easy to use and sensibly controlled to ensure that even those with little or no IT skills can produce something wonderful and solve real business problems very quickly

Caspio is continuously improving, however, some of its backend admin pages could be slightly more up to date to make full use of modern screen sizes

I would say give it a go and find out for yourself how useful and easy they have made it to make stable, powerful web-based applications. I've tried other providers and they couldn't compete with Caspio that is why I have been using their platform for so many years

I have been using Caspio for almost 10 years and have used it to solve lots of business application challenges such CSU portals, Planning Tools, Continuous Improvement Apps, Surveys, and Customer facing Operational data portals. Our largest application project now has circa 150 datapages and 116 distributed users
