Overall Satisfaction with AppSheet

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using it to manage all kinds of internal assets. We are currently using about 8 different apps, and with each app, we learn a little more, so each time they are more useful. Making all employees be on the same page is sometimes difficult, but when you turn a sheet into an app, using and following up on data is easy and really powerful. The same app passes through different states for each user, making it easy to keep track of everything.

Pros and Cons

Pros

No code programming is really easy. With time you get better and better.
Making an app is better than accessing a sheet. You can have user levels and a lot of control over processes.
Simple and useful UX. Sometimes we wish to generate some more designed spaces, but really, it just works.

Cons

Adding some more design personalization.
I found that some things were missing, specifically time and my learning curve, so I couldn't add anything else to improve.
There should be some online free course by Appsheet.

Return on Investment

We have appsheet as part of our Google plan, so it's kind of free.
We develop apps for each process that we can. Even processes for 5 or 6 people get an app, just because it's simple.
There is no negative impact. Appsheet is all positive. Really.

Usability

I started developing just the UX for managing a sheet. We are now utilizing this for each user to complete their time reports, which are directly related to our projects. This enables us to control projects, time, assets, accounts, and budget. We link many apps to Slack, allowing them to send messages to specific groups and keep everyone on the same page. It's really an everyday tool.

Alternatives Considered

Glide

We started to try Glide, but we had already started our learning curve with Appsheet, and as the cost is part of our plan, the choice was easy. Since there is no cost for each feature we want to develop, Appsheet can serve as a replacement for tools like Docs, Sheets, and Slides. It just turns into another piece of software the employees are using, so thinking of moving to another product is nonsense.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you need to manage special assets with unique characteristics and keep data in spreadsheets, Appsheet is ideal for replacing these sheets with a system. Once you start using it, you find yourself trying to move everything into Appsheet. It is perfect for generating internal software that would otherwise never be developed due to programming costs.
