MS Access Online

"I tried in vain creating an app using MS Access & Visual Basic for a period of 3 months. But it took me a single night using Zoho Creator"
~Ted Hughes, Operations Manager, Soluchem.
"I am very impressed with Zoho Creator.  It saved me 1000 of hours learning Microsoft Access. Anything that can replace having to learn another Microsoft program makes me happy."
~Alan Bradford, Marketing Consultant
Here are few points we put-forth which we consider as benefits of using Zoho Creator over MS Access Online:
  • No programming skills required
    You don't need to be a developer to use Zoho Creator. Zoho Creator's intuitive drag-and-drop Web Form Builder lets even novice users to create online database application in minutes. You can also create a fairly complex online database applications involving processing logics, through easy drag and drop of functions.
    MS Access: Only skilled software developers and data architects can use.
  • No Infrastructure setup
    You dont need to buy any software or hardware. Install, maintain, or keep them upgrading on a periodic basis. All you need is a browser and an Internet connection to create custom online database applications and start using it rightaway.
    While you use your online database applications in peace, we will take care of the data security and service availibility.
    MS Access: Need high-end server to install and run MS Access software.You might also need to shell out some money to maintain your database.
  • Get your applications ready in quicktime
    Create your online database applications in minutes and start using it rightaway.It is trivially easy to roll out quick data collection and editing the applications whenever needed.
    MS Access: Big learning curve involved in mastering MS Access development skills. Application development phase requires several man-hours.
  • Build highly customized apps for individual needs
    As application creation is easy and quick, it encourages users to create highly customized online database applications tailored to their specific needs. For eg: Expense Tracker - to track expenses, To Do - to maintain things to do on daily basis, Project Tracker - to track project status, Issue Manager - to track issues and its fixes.
    MS Access: Each application costs you money and time.
  • Online Collaboration
    Zoho Creator efficiently provides you two ways of collaborating .
    • Collaboration with spefic users - your friends, team members and others.
    • Collaboration with anyone on the internet - with public visitors whom you donot know. (learn more)
    MS Access: Lacks collaboration.


In our humble opinion, Zoho Creator cannot match MS Access feature by feature, but is a safe bet when you want to create custom online database applications on your own without spending much time and money.
