PHPRunner vs. TeamDesk

Initial impression is a 10. I was able to create a function skeleton of my app project within a few hours and virtually no trainig/study. I'll update this review as I learn and develop.

Teamdesk is perfect for any operational tracking requirements for companies small or large, and any situation where you need to integrate with other systems since it can be set up to do that flexibly via its API and Webhooks. For example, you could track contacts, time and expense, projects and tasks, schedules, web leads, check-ins, order entry, quotes and invoices, support ticketing, and use the more advanced features to integrate with other systems to pull in currency exchange rates, various lists of data from other databases, send faxes, send bulk emails and so on. It does not do offline storage, so it would not be appropriate for a situation that offline work.

• Simple connection to MySQL tables
• Integrated SMS functions
• Visual app building for us non-programmers
• Fast creation of a web interface for database data

• Provide a very good, customizable user management system.
• Gives a lot of flexibility to customize database to your needs without requiring coding skills. Even allows to customize interface if you can code in html.
• Provides unlimited space and records.
• Gives an opportunity to have a database on EU servers to comply with GDPR
• Offers very good pricing options comparing to competitors (Salesforce, Quickbase, etc.) and offers unlimited space.
• Gives an opportunity to share your ideas how to improve the platform, many of which are being implemented
• Customers service if very helpful and friendly. All my questions were answered within a couple hours.

• The only down side that I see, is that you have to be willing to spend some time creating your database. You start with a blank canvas and all the tools you need to design a custom database. But, you have to take the time to do it. If you take that time, it is well worth it.

They are simply amazing. Very fast, like I have a personal support person standing by for me and always solves my problem in one go.

Reviewed and tried; PHPRunner, PHPMaker, PHP Generator for MySQL, scriptcase, and AppGini. My selection of PHPRunner does not imply anything negative about the listed programs. I was able to create a functioning skeleton app with PHPRunner that I was not able to create with any of the others. I did not want an online subscription-based product.

Quickbase is a good product which I have been using for 5 years (powerful, nice interface) but - not so powerful as TeamDesk - started to move toward large companies (>50 people) - more expensive than TeamDesk Zoho was not as flexible as TeamDesk Caspio was not as powerful as TeamDesk

• EXPECTATION - I will have an app that is mine to license as I please, not a subscription cost

• The per user cost is significantly lower than any prior option we have tried. The time spent getting things set up was time well spent for the overall long-term savings.
