Overall Satisfaction with Appsmith

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.
  • Connect to external data sources like Google Sheets
  • Using JS to manupulate data
  • Can use JS almost everywhere within design
  • 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.
  • Its Open Source
  • Has multiple data sources
  • Use of custom JS queries
  • Saves tons of money to hire a vendor to build apps or hire a specialist within org to build internal apps
