Caspio Reviews & Product Details

Caspio is helpful for building my organization's applications without the need to write codes for them. It enables me to utilize its pre-configured blocks for creating enteprise-level applications. It replaces the coding experience of developers with simple action items which are more user-friendly, convenient and straightforward.

It's very simple to understand & use the existing code designs, and I can make use of its hassle-free drag and drop features instead of writing multi-line codes to establish my database applications. I don't find anything that I dislike about Caspio.

It's always challenging and complex when I have to configure a bulk information repository framework since I need to consider multiple config items. Caspio helps me to design structured and quick database applications which have up-to-date records for my data analysis and custom reporting needs. The database query execution is also simplistic and ensures the consistency of my source table. It's easy to implement and maintain our business data management & other sB systems, thanks to Caspio. It optimizes waste space issues and increases the probability of resolving code-related defects and discrepancies within its framework. This is feasible thanks to its splendid GUI builder to design & customize our database applications which are always up to the mark of our customer's expectations.

Caspio has been a simple process to build and follow an application.

For our particular application, the most trying issue has not been the application itself but how our employee completed the setup.

Customized portal our affiliates can utilize registering customers and appointments.

Pretty easy to use for simple tasks and applications.

The price keeps going up and up, and the features are more and more lacking. The new App Extensions is a slap in the face to customers. They say that Caspio is a 'No Code' platform, but that is hardly the case. You do not need coding knowledge if you want basic, bare-bones, 2010-style applications. If you want anything remotely close to looking up to date with current standards and practices, or want something like a Gantt chart, you will either need to know an extensive amount of coding or pay a hefty amount for their ' professional services'.

It is nice having everything be accessible via the web. It is nice to have the ability to have our employees go to a website and submit a form from their cellphone. Basic things like this is what Caspio is really good for.

Nothing - it is very unuser friendly, and the customer support is worse.

The customer service - the product is slow, glitchy and they will not allow you to leave the contract even if the product sucks.

Customer services - I have received no benefits.

After being reassured several times that my use case was "simple" and shouldn't take long to implement I decided to move forward with subscribing. Needless to say that was not the case.

Aggressive sales team called with the promise of incorporating Caspio as database that would replace Microsoft Access and Excel. Heaving Data wrangling proved to be impossible on the platform.

Systematizing Marketing Efforts with prospects

We liked some of the basic features of Caspio, but most of its other promises left much to be desired.

We're not sure what Caspio offers to companies, but compatibility with Wordpress is not among them. We were told by their sales team that there were multiple ways, including plugins and API’s that would allow us to integrate our Wordpress site. In fact, there aren’t. For example, the limit on their API calls per month would not run our app for a day. Neither of these limitations were mentioned by their sales staff, even after repeated questioning about the costs from our CEO. We had a fully working, functioning prototype in our old database we demo’d for the Caspio sales staff and they claimed they could match all the functionality. In fact, nearly every promise they made was specifically disproven, and, the solution seemed very limited. It’s UI features left a lot to be desired. In the end, we spent over $60k and 9 months before abandoning Caspio. We finally realized the “rathole” was simply not ever going to work. Every Caspio workaround caused another problem. Their sole resolution was to have their technical staff work with our development team. Each time, they failed to create a reliable workaround. We finally had to walk away from tens of thousands in development costs because we figured out their routine— stonewall until their technology could catch up. It never could. And, tell us that we could upgrade (again) to get “that” feature. In the end, this wasn’t true. We upgraded and still, it would not do something simple. Caspio is good at marketing, and willing to sell you anything. But its a rudimentary, overpriced solution. We ended up with Filemaker again (our old database). It’s newer versions are substantially more compatible, and Web friendly than SAS-based Caspio. Go figure?

We were trying to use Caspio as a web-based -platform. All what we got from it, however, was buggy Eye Frames.

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.

What stands out most to me about Caspio is their amazing support. They are responsive and knowledgeable and feel like a partner who is as invested in your success as you are.

There is nothing I dislike about Caspio. My experience has been absolutely incredible from beginning to end.

Caspio allowed us to build a tool for our members that has been discussed for years in our organization. Caspio provided a solution that was easy to use and allowed us to provide this valuable search tool to our membership more simply than we could have otherwise.

Caspio client since 2009 when as a small business owner, I wanted to develop a searchable database with online submit forms. At the time, there were few options for someone with very limited IT and no coding experience. Caspio was affordable, offered the platform and informational tutorials that allowed me to do that. That database is still being used. There have been modifications over the years but it has been very reliable with no issues. Everyone at Caspio has always been friendly, willing to help and knowledgeable whenever I have had questions. Their kindness and patience in explaining things at a novice level was and is very much appreciated. I recently contacted customer service, Kurk was prompt, eager to help, answered my questions and went the extra mile to assist me. Caspio offers the type of customer service that you hope to receive but rarely do with most companies today.

I have found nothing to dislike about Caspio.

Being able to develop a searchable database and submission forms without coding experience.

The clickable interface and flexible tools are easy to use. There are many online resources available to learn how to use the Caspio tool. Most questions can be answered through the online help.

The formatting, if you really pay attention to stylistics (fonts, sizes, positioning) still requires some degree of coding. I was able to develop a workable database but struggled on the final 20 percent of formatting the output as I needed coding assistance.

I am developing a database for subscription. Caspio is flexible and extremely cost-effective in helping to make the data available to a wider audience with ease and simplicity

I like the ease of use and the resources provided. The forum is also beneficial to problem solve.

Coding is great but not as free as usual coding is. I hope they expand the equations/coding formulas in the future.

Supply Chain tracking across 5 different channels. Has allowed each department to communicate with each other effortlessly

MOST HELPFUL IS THE CUSTOMER SUPPORT THAT IS ALWAYS A REAL HELP.

AT TIMES THE HELP CENTER HAS OLD INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NO INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET UPDATED INFO, SO I HAVE TO ASK THE HELPDESK FOR HELP.

MY COMPANY RUNS AN ONLINE PORTAL THAT OUR EXTERNAL CUSTOMERS USE TO GET INFORMATION ON THEIR CLEINTS. THIS IS A GREAT HELP TO THEM AND TO US AS WE DON'T HAVE TO SPEND ALOT OF EXTRA TIME SENDING THEM THE INFORMATION THEY NEED, THEY ARE ABLE TO ACCESS IT FOR THEMSELVES. AND THEY LIKE HAVING THAT AUTONOMY.

The best part of Caspio is the fact that there is no need to code anything other than to learn how to click and select the features that you need!

One area that needs improvement though is the layout of the User Interface. It needs to be intuitive so that searching and fumbling can be avoided.

Being able to port an excel spreadsheet to a website where any user can search for their specific data is a tremendous time saving benefit!

Caspio is a very efficient method to develop an MVP. And can easily be integrated into a published website. I like the fact that there is a huge amount of training, and how-to videos. Caspio is pretty intuitive and any time I run into an issue I have been able to get customer support to help me through the issue in a reasonable time frame.

Lets say you need to add a question to a form. It automatically goes to the bottom of the form. Then you have to click the up arrow to move that question up one row at a time. On long forms this becomes really redundant and cumbersome. If I could easily add a question to the middle of a form by dragging and dropping that would be great. Or if I could select multiple questions at once and move them all at once that would also be great.

I needed to rapidly build a database that people could sign up to and enter various types of data. I needed to do this with no other team members and for very little overhead. I have been able to do that. There is so much more functionality on Caspio than I am currently using so that is great to know there is more for me to grow into.

Basic funtionalities for creating an application are very easy. Caspio is convenient to use and it's easy to create a new application from scratch very quickly.

Downsides are related to the fact that it's a low code platform - which means you should choose other options if you aren't looking for a low code solution. Price for the easy entry is limitations with more complicated systems.

Most valuable features were related to built-in features like registration and account management. These made it fast to create safe systems for users that are handling sensitive data.
