Is CASPIO worth it?

[mickenzy]

I want to build a web app. My knowledge of app development is pretty spotty. I can write a little JS, but I don't know anything about servers.

Is CASPIO a good platform for me to use? Are they the best development tool? Once you have the app, are their IT services valuable?

Caspio is easy to use and if you are making a simple app there is no need to know JS or HTML. For small customizations, you can contact support and if you need you can also ask for managed application services. Then you will get an assigned rep who will be taking care of your requests. There is also a development team which can build the whole app.

Hi @mickenzy,

Just to add up to the previous comment above, I think this platform is a great platform. It is a low-code or no-code platform that is designed for the businessman or individual with minimal or no technical knowledge at all in coding/programming. This platform will allow us to translate our business ideas to fully functional Applications by only using their point and click interface. 

Learning to use the platform is not difficult, they have a lot of learning materials that you can use to familiarize with the features of this platform and fully. 

Caspio also offers free instructor-led training sessions multiple times per week. These online training can help you get up and running quickly. You can sign up in these training sessions here: https://www.caspio.com/training/ or watch the pre-recorded training sessions at http://howto.caspio.com/pre-recorded-live-training/   

And in addition to that, you can review some of our training materials for you to familiarize Caspio's features.

And they also have Ready-made applications that showcase the features of our platform. You may want to visit them at https://www.caspio.com/apps/ to find workflows that may suit your applications need.

To sum it up, Caspio is worth the shot. If you are having doubts about using this platform, what I can suggest is you sign up for their 14 days trial so that you can evaluate the platform for your self. Once you sign up to their Trial account a Solution Consultant will be assigned to your account, and he/she can even demonstrate you the features of this platform and help you jumpstart your project with Caspio.

And the best thing about their Trial account is it is completely FREE, no cards needed to create a trial account! And if you still need more time to evaluate the platform you can try to communicate to the solution consultant that is assigned to your account to request for your trial to be extended for a few days or even a week. And you can also subscribe/convert your trial account to their FREE plan, which will not cost you anything at all.

You can sign up to their Trial Plan at this Link

I hope this helps.

Hello,

The applications that can be built with Caspio is one thing. THE SUPPORT IS ONE OTHER GREAT THING.  I am absolutely telling you that Caspio after sales support is so awesome. Worth every penny. 

You must try their services to prove it yourself. You can have a free account here: https://pages.caspio.com/free-trial . After having an account someone from them will help you set things up.

Thanks.

Caspio is built for non-developers to create a searchable database in a couple of hours.  So you really do not need to know about programming. If your application is very complicated you can request manages application services, and a whole team in Caspio will be assigned to your project and they will do the work for you.  Caspio is cloud base and partnering with Amazon so the %99.9 uptime is guaranteed. Try the trail and see how the support and the team assist you in building your app

 Hi, just to update this post. Caspio now launches its New Youtube series(?) I find this very interesting.  It is called  Caspio Labs. And the Livestream is every Monday! This is a great help for us users of Caspio to learn how to transform Excel data into immersive web dashboards. This also help us level up our Caspio skills with development tips and personal coaching straight from the platform specialist and their technical evangelist.

What I also love about this is they always tackle new topic every week. I also suggest to subscribe to their YouTube channel to be automatically notified.

Ofcourse! Worth every penny.  I didn't have any regrets about using Caspio to build my apps. Because I am on a paid plan, I always experience a timely response from the Support Tickets I opened and live chats. 

Also, I kept in mind that their training and support are only a small part of my overall account plan. What about the basic and advanced features that they gave me? It's totally worth it!

[Flowers4Algernon]

Yes! They have recently release this new feature that has been a great help with my project: https://howto.caspio.com/document-generation/mapping-templates/
