Skuid is currently being used in our sales department across 25+ users. We use it to manage our sales pipeline and to create visualizations with our data.
  • Pulling data from external sources.
  • Providing visualizations that tell a story & summarize.
  • Integrations with other applications, i.e. Sharepoint for document library storage.
  • Amazing support! Very quick to respond and also wonderful to work with when scoping out your needs.
  • Working through a few bugs here and there.
  • Integration and support with Power BI would be a great feature.
  • Too much data overwhelms the system if pulling from SQL data warehouse.
Skuid is great while it sits on top of a CRM platform, for us Microsoft Dynamics. We like the look and feel of Skuid rather than Dynamics. We were able to successfully pull data from our SQL warehouse and connect it specifically at the account level which has been amazing when wanting to look at revenue detail by account. The visualizations are great and the potential for how to analyze data is exciting.

We use Skuid to build custom interfaces that our customers and other end-users engage with. It is used across our entire organization and is a very powerful tool because it allows for admins to build custom pages without requiring any code. It is a very robust solution, and allows us to render components based on logical criteria, which allows for a better experience. When Skuid is mixed with CSS and HTML, it becomes a very hearty solution. I highly recommend Skuid for any use cases that require custom interfacing.
  • Hosting data from multiple objects into one single UI.
  • Conditional rendering.
  • UI component drag and drop builder.
  • Release management. Whenever a new version of Skuid is released, upgrading can be a dubious task.
  • Support. Skuid does not offer standard support. Instead, you will be required to use the Skuid community or purchase engineering hours.
If you are looking to keep all responsibilities in your admin seat, while also using custom interfacing, look no further than Skuid. As an admin, I am able to develop and deploy custom pages that people engage with and don't require developer resources. This means less cost for development, less cost for managing code life-cycles, and fewer resources needed to get projects up and running.

We use Skuid for Salesforce across our entire organization. Skuid allows us to create custom UIs for our end users, and provides our users with increased visibility to information and an automated workflow to increase sales rep efficiency. Skuid also allows us to create custom workflows to support changing business needs.
  • Automation. Creating custom buttons allows for one-click of logging calls/activities in SFDC.
  • Increased visibility. It's easy to create cross-object models in Skuid, providing full visibility into an account, and the contact, tasks, contract, and anything associated with the account.
  • Organization. Skuid allows us to customize the UI to make it more intuitive for end users.
  • The administrative side. Skuid can be difficult to learn how to build pages.
  • Support. You have to pay for Skuid support. The Skuid community is very helpful though.
Skuid for Salesforce is great, but I have not used it on any other applications. Overlaying detail pages and creating brand new custom tabs overlayed with a Skuid page allows you to address numerous business initiatives and increases the efficiency and effectiveness of our sales teams.

It is used throughout the organization. We take advantage of customized page layout that brings in related objects. The biggest business problem Skuid addresses is allowing users to make mass updates to related objects. Additionally, JavaScript snippets allow for custom validation and display warnings/guidelines.
  • Mass updates
  • Custom page layouts bringing in related records.
  • Custom Validation
  • Drag and drop
  • Load time
  • Record history is difficult to follow
  • Themes should be more flexible
Skuid is great as a "guide" that creates records and child records. Makes associations and suggestions as the user runs through. This is great for user experience as well as data validation. A process can be broken into short steps as the user progresses through the guide. The result is a simple interface for entering data.

We use Skuid across multiple clients in different industries such as manufacturing and financial services. Because Skuid is a user interface builder tool that allows rapid customization user experiences on top of Salesforce.com, it enables us to build applications that solve a wide variety of business problems. The best way to describe Skuid is it's a cloud-based app builder that provides a unified user experience across multiple cloud-based systems such as Salesforce.com, Microsoft, Google and almost any other system that has an API.
  • Rapid app development tool - ability to build a wide variety of web application at speed using point-and-click design tools while still allowing advanced customization using standard web technologies such as HTML, CSS and Javascript.
  • Supports agile development approaches - due to it's ease of use and speed, Skuid enables users to prototype and build apps in shorter development cycles while lowering development costs.
  • Empowers citizen developers - due to it's low learning curve and configuration-based development, Skuid can be used by business users with no technical experience needed. Applications can be built, deployed and supported without the need for developers.
  • Additional documentation and support - in the early days there was limited documentation and community support. It has improved recently however there could be more help and support in terms of examples and customer support especially for new features.
  • Minor issues and bugs - Simple to moderate applications can be built quickly and easily but more advanced complex applications require additional expertise and support to achieve.
  • Better mobile/responsive support - Although apps work well in a desktop browser there are limited examples and support of mobile apps. A fully mobile responsive app is possible but not easy to achieve.
  • More user interface components - There are some powerful components such as the table component but given the wide range of user interface widgets available Skuid needs to provide more to keep up with other user interface builder tools.
For anyone looking to build customized user experiences quickly on Salesforce.com and who don't have access or budget for developers then Skuid is an excellent option. Although some investment in license costs and learning is required the pay off comes with the sheer speed and volume of applications that can be built and delivered to the business in short time frames.

We implement Skuid for our customers to extend the functionality of Salesforce. It allows us to completely change the Salesforce interface and allow our customers to see exactly what they want to see on a specific page. This allows users to be more productive and to bring different objects together in one view.
  • Skuid allows the Salesforce UI to be completely customized.
  • Skuid allows an administrator to change UI instead of having to use custom code.
  • Skuid allows you to make things have the exact look and feel you desire on a page.
  • Skuid is constantly developing, so if the feature you need isn't available, it's likely coming soon on the roadmap.
Skuid is well suited when you need to bring in data from different Salesforce objects and you want to do it without custom code. It's also great for making a Salesforce page look completely different, using your branding and a completely different look and feel.

We use skuid to provide an easy to design and deliver user interface on Salesforce. It has proven really useful when trying to display data to our internal users in a way that is most efficient without having to code.
  • The Pros is that it is really easy to get a hang of the page designer, you can make a page in minutes when it would take you hours if you had to program in Apex.
  • The pages are easy to deploy to a production environment in SalesForce.
  • The model creation is very intuitive, you can very effictively design SOQL query and pull in the result in your page.
  • The design/user experience is not the best, it is not very appealing to the eye. Even the different themes are very bland and not very vibrant.
  • Skuid reaches its limits pretty quickly when you are trying to make pages that are a bit more involved. You are having to mess with the CSS in some strange ways to make things work like you want them to at times.
  • It doesn't really do well in terms of responsive design, a design may look great on one screen and absolutely dreadful on another.
Skuid is less suited for pages where you are just looking to display data, in table format or simple charts or just as a data editor with multiple tabs. For anything more involved, skuid is not your tool.
