Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As an organization we need apps to track internal KPS and data. Appsmith is a great tool to build internal apps for your teams. It can connect to multiple data sources as well as Google Sheets. You can transform data using JS and can also use their premade blocks to create front-end UI. You can populate UI elements with data dynamically by using JS query. You can use JS almost anywhere in the application and that makes this a very powerful tool to build any complex and dynamic apps.

Pros

  • Connect to external data sources like Google Sheets
  • Using JS to manupulate data
  • Can use JS almost everywhere within design

Cons

  • UI could be more responsive. Its bit hassle to create a UI which would fit mobile devices.
  • If there are multiple UI blocks it gets cumbersome to adjust their size and appearance as you have to do it one by one.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is best suited if you want to build a tool for internal use purpose. It is even better suited if you have your data in Google Sheets. You can build apps with functionlity of CRUD where you can not just view but modify and add new entries so you can make good internal CRM tool or HR tool or anything that you need with the flexibility that Appsmith offers.
