Great option for data entry
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It's a great tool and a good alternative to Airtable but......It has a learning curve. It really takes a lot of time and effort to create a data table by using API from any integration. They should create more onboarding videos or Docs that could help us to better understand how it actually works. If you want to create your own table and add the data manually that's completely ok but if you wish to pull out data then it's quite hard. On the other hand, it has a nice UI/UX very easy to navigate, and has a lot of options for how you can categorize your table. It also offers a lot of properties on how you can create your column such as text, number, phone number, attachment, and so on which is quite nice. Sharing a table and giving permission is very handy as well.
Pros
- Sharing and permissions
- Workspaces
- Table views
Cons
- Onboarding videos and materials
- More native integrations
- Better mobile app - enhacement
Return on Investment
- Saves hours for the team by sharing data
- Project management better way
- They could build up a better mobile app
