Considered Both Products
GraalVM
Chose GraalVM
The reason why we had to select GraalVM one is [a] cutting-edge compiling technique, GraalVM is well operated in the Environment of Open JDK, which speeds up the execution of Java programs. GraalVM makes creating packages and native apps simpler, and this improves distribution. …

Chose GraalVM
Compiling to native code is probably the only reason for me so far.
Chose GraalVM
.Net 4.5 has been very similar but I feel GraalVM is a lot better with features, efficiency, and user-friendly UI. This is especially important for our team.

The main strength from my point of view is the usability and also the documentation which I really appreciate once it makes it easier to use and also faster. In another hand, the price can be something that you must check before choosing the proper tool once it's really …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM startup times and memory footprint is unbeatable. Polyglot capability provides greater flexibility and faster development times.
Chose GraalVM
The packaging of GraalVM is completely different form the above-listed products, it is more like an integration platform. The out of box solutions for technologies like Java, and using with iOS native image is one of the examples. And easily used with Gradle and Maven build …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM allowed language interoperability compared to the other two. Corretto is no better than the default HotSpot JVM in our case and is also lacking in modern versions. Oracle Java has JDK 15 but it doesn't have language interoperability or AOT. GraalVM just hit that nice …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM allows for better language interop between languages compared to JNI, and also supports other languages for scripting like Python, Ruby and others. This means seemless modding capability compared to the normal JDK and other things.
Chose GraalVM
Oracle GraalVM has been selected due to its ability to perform ahead-of time compilation by compiling JAVA code to native image which helps in scaling up the performance of the application startup and execution time, thus consuming low memory and CPU cycles. Also, supporting …
Chose GraalVM
I have not used other products like GraalVM, and I was not in charge of evaluating other products.
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM by far has proved to be the most reliable and advanced virtual machine supporting dual compilation (Static as well as Dynamic). Java Code is compiled by an ahead-of-time compiler to a native image that supports JVM based languages (Java, Scala, etc.) as well as other …
Chose GraalVM
We have opted for GraalVM due to its ability to integrate and interoperability with major languages (such as Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, LLVM based languages like C and C++, and several other dynamic languages) popular in the IT industry. Due to its compatibility with Java …
Chose GraalVM
The advantages of GraalVM over other products are as follows: 1. All the languages share the same VM and its capabilities. Provides language-independent tooling interoperability optimization. 2. It has a very reduced memory footprint.
Chose GraalVM
Points in support of GraalVM over other products are as follows:
  • GraalVM compiler behaving as a JIT compiler for Java, which supports both Static and Dynamic Compilation
  • GraalVM native image that allows the ahead-of-time compile Java Program to a standalone executable called a …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM has the ability to compile Java applications ahead of time into a native binary. This will result in instant startup of the application and consuming significantly less memory compared to traditional JIT (Just in Time) compilation setup. Though JIT is preferable for …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM can run faster than the traditionally used Java SE. Companies like Twitter are using GraalVM as against using JAVA SE to scale up their production values and save money. It has a Graal compiler and polyglot feature missing in Java SE, which is a mix and match of …
Chose GraalVM
GraalVM is much better in terms of performance and speed. It also provides the multi-language support feature.
Chose GraalVM
License was the main differentiation, not other reason to compare, based on our use case.
Chose GraalVM
We used Azure App Service along with stream analytics both have their own pros and cons. GraalVM is better for Java native codes while Azure is for C# and .NET. Both are good, in a sense, but for our native apps GraalVM is better. We would like to see how it does in the long run.
Chose GraalVM
Considered OpenJDK and OracleJDK. Our main point is still that we need a VM which starts the servers very quickly and GraalVM tops them all.
Zoho Creator
Chose Zoho Creator
Zoho Creator stands out for its balance of affordability, ease of use, and powerful customization options. While it may not offer the same level of enterprise-scale features as platforms like OutSystems or Mendix, it provides a robust solution that meets the needs of many …

Chose Zoho Creator
for the ability to tailor it to our needs and add more and more features that helps us do our job fast and correct.
Chose Zoho Creator
I could use Excel to do what I need but prefer to use Zoho Creator for the main reasons of being very secure, fast, easily accessible, cloud based, etc. The CSV import option is a huge time saver, I can import CSV or TXT files directly into Zoho Creator in seconds.
Chose Zoho Creator
It is well-placed in terms of
  • user-friendly interface
  • Easy to adapt
Chose Zoho Creator
Well, We had reviewed many applications during last 5 years and we moved with Zoho Creator, due to its technical support capabilities along with per user Cost which they provided. The mix of both worked for us and we moved.
Chose Zoho Creator
It is almost same and easy to use. Anyone can deploy the application and use the services in the platforms. It depends on the company use case that how they will use the products to use services. But a lot of improvement can be done to introduce multiple management and white …
Chose Zoho Creator
Zoho Creator Platform can integrate and combine different views and databases from different platforms and expand the features that you can get out of them.
Chose Zoho Creator
Cloud-based, security, ease of use, price point
Chose Zoho Creator
Zoho Creator offers more functionalities than Zapier but has lesser integrations than Zapier. Compared to Honeycomb.io, I find Zoho Creator easier to work on.
Chose Zoho Creator
Trello is a very different kind of tool, and what it does is better in that it is far simpler. But there's no way Trello could ever maintain the same kind of data that Zoho Creator does. It's not really a fair comparison because Trello isn't intended to be the same kind of tool …
Chose Zoho Creator
We decided that proprietary programming language and develop the software from scratch would cost us more than our budget, and also it would take a lot of time we didn't have. Zoho Creator was chosen besides any other proprietary way to develop a software because it's low code …
Chose Zoho Creator
I've looked into this app but never really considered using it. Zoho Creator has met and exceeded all our expectations as a database management app there's been no need to stack it up against others.
Chose Zoho Creator
We use ZOHO Survey and while it is better than other similar 'Off the shelf' products it is not in the same league as Creator.
Chose Zoho Creator
Lower cost and easier implementation. I had been creating "cloud" solutions using active server pages (ASP) with a MS Access directory back-end before Zoho Creator. I did not want the worry of maintaining a server and required an easier way to build database forms. I was one of …
Chose Zoho Creator
I've used Knack previously. It has better/easier controls over user authenticated access and a better/more fun to use UI. However it is less flexible than Zoho Creator. With Zoho I can pretty much do anything I can dream up. Knack is powerful, but more limited than Zoho Creator.

If you want to have a cool VM, don't spend too much memory and mainly being multilanguage go ahead. Be aware there are some points that can be improved like a couple of languages are not accepted so far. Like used to, it's easy to use and you can find a lot of information regarding the tool so if you need to do something fast, it's a good choice.

If you are using some application of Zoho and want some more functionality into it, Use Zoho creator to develop a separate app as per requirement and integrate it with your Zoho App. Small organization can use creator to make apps but it can be used for small range of storage, For Large organization , it may be not feasible.

Cons
  • It should be possible to use GraalVM EE to distribute native images of JavaFX applications for mobile platforms, especially for Apple platforms.
  • Native Images are a game changer. However, compiling complex applications can be a pain. Better support for an improved transition process are a must.

  • In the C5 Version, User Management was easy, but in C6 due to the by default integration of analytics, we at our end are not able to deactivate the users, which can be improved as to add new user, we need to have the control at our end.
  • While integrating with third party software's, creator should develop mechanism to use multiple applications using common points
  • Though the system is very easy to use and develop, UI customization option should be provided with similar low code facility

Today Zoho Creator is included in our current plan from Zoho One, but if it was needed to pay apart it should be done because the software we created became very important for our team. The use of Zoho Creator contributes to endorse the Zoho One subscription year after year.

Usability
No answers on this topic
Its quite easy if one has the need, interest and passion to build applications and solutions through low-code. One example would be, that my finance head who has absolutely nothing to do with tech and apps, is now able to create apps and manage Zoho Creator all by himself. So its all about the interest and how much time we put to learn the tool. Having said that, its quite easy to learn the tool and create anything that's within our scope of knowledge.

Support Rating
The support we received when porting legacy applications from the GraalVM team and community was commendable. We were able to get assistance in introducing alternatives for the libraries we were using where appropriate. GraalVM support was also able to help us with some configuration options we were stuck with for configuring deployment environments on AWS compute.

I recommend Zoho Creator very often. A lot of companies go big earlier than they need to and spend way too much on SalesForce & Marketo. I worked for a small company with some limited budget that pivoted to sell it's product to the Enterprise. Zoho Creator was incredibly easy to set up, intuitive to use, and contains all the most essential features that most users need and seek in SalesForce. We integrated with MailChimp & Unbounce and were able to be incredibly useful in acquiring leads, nurturing them, and tracking pipeline in Zoho Creator. Our small sales team found it very easy to use and loved it.

Even if it is a easy to use platform, it got some issues on the implementation that could easily handle by IT teams. In our scenario this team don't exist anymore, and the business/marketing team had their expectations that it was quickier to be implemented. So, consider a professional help on this implementation could be cost more (of cource) but it would be helpful to manage the issues and expectations.

Zoho is incredibly versatile. Much thought was put in to the way the platform functions. I've yet to face a situation where Zoho would not be able to do what I needed. That being said, because of its power, it can also be a bit intimidating technically. Simple needs are simple. More complex needs are ... more complex! Overall, it's a powerful, robust platform

Return on Investment
  • Financial: Increased Java container count on the same hardware.
  • Performance: Decreased cold start time for container startup.
  • Training: Adopting GraalVM has a learning curve. This requires investment in time and resources. The benefits come through re-evaluating our current deployments for optimization.

  • With using Zoho Creator we are able to build apps that we may otherwise pay a pretty penny for. We may risk some features we could get from a 3rd party app but the fact that the data we do collect can easily syn with our CRM and Accounting systems makes up for this.
  • Negatively speaking, it takes time to fine tune and really craft your application. I am not a coder, nor do I have a coding background, so patience is key as you design and build out your application.
