AVEVA Work Tasks vs. Caspio

Anything where form input is required, data presentation and custom interface screens, connected to a database or API backend. Also good at process orchestration, where tasks need to be allocated and completed as part of a workflow, it supports delegation and escalation. It does fit well tieing together other AVEVA products.

Contact forms are incredibly easy to build and customize, as are most other kinds of more involved forms. Forms allow html input and can be designed in a number of ways. It's helpful if you know some HTML. JavaScript knowledge can add advanced options, but is not necessary for the most common uses. The company used to call itself "No-Code," but has changed to say "Low Code," which is much more accurate.

• Caspio is an online database platform. It allows one to create multiple tables and views to be stored via the web. Tables can be configured to not only hold data but also to hold files like Word docs and images.
• Caspio is great at creating online forms and reports. It allows the user to create forms to capture, update data, whether it's password protected or just a simple form.
• As a database platform, one can create online tables and forms linking multiple tables and views to each other. I would say it is the Microsoft Access of the online platforms.
• The system is very easy. Wizards allow one to create forms, tables, and datapages. Since the platform is online, you may access your database anywhere.

• Permissions model is complex
• Themes and corporate branding requires detailed css

We are committed to Caspio Bridge. We could migrate to another product, but we would not be able to do so quickly. I estimate that we would need about a year (maybe more) to convert all of our forms and processes if we were to switch to some other product

The features and capability is very good, but there is a learning curve to develop within it. It does take some effort to become proficient and build forms and workflows, however once deployed and running they are extremely reliable. The mobile application is quite good but best suited to be on an on-prem network rather than internet facing.

I've had some instances where my team and I discovered a bug in Caspio. We alerted the company, and the bug was fixed in the next regular update of the software. The few times that I've had to contact support, it was a pretty good experience. They're not terribly quick to respond and take action, but they don't ignore you, either.

Power Apps is good for microsoft, and basic forms, Work Tasks is more powerful. Other middleware is better for pure data integration but doesnt enable user interaction. There are some other options, Redhat has a similar product as well but it wasnt as mature when we were evaluating.

GroupHigh is so frustrating to use. It is constantly changing the way you can search for bloggers, and we can never find exactly what we are looking for

• We have built our entire EOM reconciliation process for production management, this is not possible without Work Tasks
• We have complete standalone processes and applications built in Work Tasks, where complex steps and integrations are required. It is faster and cheaper than multiple bespoke products
• The API integration has allowed us to tie applications together where user input is required and middleware doesnt quite work
