Considered Both Products
AppSheet
Chose AppSheet
In the hands of anyone who has formally learnt programming and database SQL querying, AppSheet is a golden compass that takes you anywhere you want to go.
Chose AppSheet
Haven't used any other products like AppSheet
Chose AppSheet
Frankly I chose Appsheet it was simple, that is because of Google. I've also known several other applications from several vendors. But I believe more in the infrastructure that is already owned by Google. I have tried several applications from other vendors, the results are …
Chose AppSheet
Way above all of them for the simplicity of setup, usage, and intuitiveness. I have used it primarily with Google Drive, but, am sure it works well with other data sources as well. The community support is strong, really strong.
Chose AppSheet
The ease that AppSheet provides to the developer is limitless. Before starting with AppSheet I used other software, but they didn't give me the tools at my fingertips. When I learned about AppSheet and everything it could do, I understood that it was what I was looking for, the …
Chose AppSheet
The good working relationship/merger between AppSheet and Google is what made everything better than the others. I don't have to be changing and/or migrating from too many things. The addition of allowing googles forms to just upgrade and become an app is perfect.
Chose AppSheet
Appsheets are used for small applications that should be built quickly and deployed, Outsystems is used for more sophisticated applications that require more functionalities and better-personalized UI.
Chose AppSheet
Google Calendar and Google Sheets
Chose AppSheet
AppSheet is good for who know IT, in terms of various development tools and functions against Openasapp
AppSheet provides more screen UX options and instant default setting once source is assigned than Airtable which more focus on database itself without deployment
Chose AppSheet
Even though I'm not a programmer, I'm also able to use it to develop my record application. This is good for me.
Chose AppSheet
Trucker's Office Pro is designed for the trucking industry all around, however, all trucking companies are not equal. They'll do different jobs, require different permits, etc. With AppSheet I keep the information pertaining to my trucking company and not everyone else's.
Chose AppSheet
Much, much easier and lightweight than its competitors. Support and user community are well-maintained. The staff from techs to the CEO are very involved in the community forums. There is a strong positive culture attached to the brand.
Chose AppSheet
Fastfield is great for forms but doesn't provide a holistic view of all of the data. Like iAuditor it is just for inspections really rather than being a data platform.
Chose AppSheet
I have used various but can't remember them, including Google and Microsoft products. Still using those but nothing in production yet.
Chose AppSheet
  • Entry-level pricing is much affordable with AppSheet
  • Data modeling is much better than other solutions
  • Google Sheets as a data backend for prototype is great
Chose AppSheet
AppSheet's free version is much much better. Since I have low level experience on paid version, I cannot confirm which app is better for the paid version.
Chose AppSheet
AppSheet has a great price $0 for learning and developing. AppSheet seems to be well rated by industry review organizations. AppSheet was fairly easy to get started.
ServiceNow App Engine
Chose ServiceNow App Engine
We use both platforms but for separate reasons. ServiceNow App Engine offers more for troubleshooting, etc. Sailpoint is purely for requesting access to things. But they are similar apps
Chose ServiceNow App Engine
Easy and adaptive features and people with no code to basic code developers can handle this, and the reusability of the many functionalities has added advantage. The incident management tool is at the top of the industry, has easy scalability, and adapts to customer needs. …
Chose ServiceNow App Engine
ServiceNow App Engine lags Almost most of the feature and we compare it with Microsoft SharePoint and power automate, but the reason why we were using ServiceNow App Engine is because it is a part of the automation COE. We have to use only the ServiceNow App Engine to implement …
Chose ServiceNow App Engine
ServiceNow App Engine is an excellent management platform that is very easy to navigate around its clean and straightforward interface and its ability to manage multiple project workflows is excellent and very valuable reports which are easily generated using ServiceNow App …
Chose ServiceNow App Engine
ServiceNow App Engine is best among all the competitors. Its integration is best with Outlook and ERP, its SLA management is best, and very organized filters are very useful. Categorization of tickets is something that is very useful. It's very easy to search the tasks/order …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Suitable for database work. Access controller for personnel, products, sales, distribution, etc. Not suitable for applications that require visual and graphic demands. There are graphically interactive applications that have buttons or action gestures that are not common. It should be possible, to create the App. Remove information relevant to the specific company or business for which the App was generated. And then be able to share it with other similar businesses independently.

Pros
  • Calculations - I have several apps that do some pretty complicated calculations, and decision making to build things like Shopping Lists for a Kanban assembly team, where the app will help a stocker determine whats low in a kanban assembly line stock box.
  • Document generation and record keeping - I have an app that users digitally sign and receive PDF contracts, and the system automatically records all records from the transaction. Everything is held in files on YOUR OWN DRIVE (Google Drive) so when you're done with the project or AppSheet you DONT loose your data.
  • Client/Customer Management - I follow the old school "Swimming with Sharks" model for client retention and customer engagement, and have built several small customer tracking tools for local businesses. This tool is limited ONLY by your imagine and desire to learn.

  • Easy ticketing system
  • Good for keeping track of issues
  • Sends tickets directly to IT

Cons
  • GPS on the maps are terrible. We dont use the map to collect data as the signal is erratic only in Appsheet. We have another app installed on the same phone to get X,Y data which is copied and pasted into the appsheet solution. We have tried everything but Appsheet map and coordinate accuracy and erratic behaviour is below par.
  • Deployment management. While it is great that people see your changes right away, it sometimes leads to downtime if one makes a mistake. In the beginning it was hard to tell which changes would negatively effect the users and in some cases the data got jumbled due to table changes. Would be good if development, testing and deployment were better streamlined. No need for auto testing (like selenium etc.) just a place we can test before deploying. Now we have several "dev" versions with a cumbersome copy and paste system.

  • Sometimes attachments do not get linked with the tickets
  • Sometimes updating ticket state causes an issue

We are still less than 10 users and probably may continue to be so. But, this being a franchisor set up, could be of use to other users like us.

Usability
It's just great. The usability is the best thing about Appsheet. You must choose which things will really be used later. You have to be careful of not generating something too big and then it feels like something that need to be learned. This is something that resolve problems, but you had to be able to think before doing. It will not solve problems itself. You need to find the problem, think a solution, and then use appsheet to make this solution a reality

Since people can handle the tool without any development background, this was really helpful and can be adopted by anyone, as reusability functions and drag-and-drop features are very easy. Many in-built features and functionality for integrating other applications are handy and adaptable.

AppSsheet has a support group and they show videos to help app builders. Though I have truck drivers' hours and can't join the webinars. Support groups with better assists me on a Saturday evening or a Sunday that I have time off. It's hard to watch videos driving down the highway.

Alternatives Considered
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.

Easy and adaptive features and people with no code to basic code developers can handle this, and the reusability of the many functionalities has added advantage. The incident management tool is at the top of the industry, has easy scalability, and adapts to customer needs. Compared with others, pricing is reasonable for the type of support and features it provides.
